House M.D. (TV Series) Help Me (2010) User Reviews

The best Episode of House so far

[nothing94 · 10/10 · 27 May 2011]

Well, first, I want to state that I'm a fan of this series, so my review won't be completely objective.

But I need to praise an episode when an episode deserves it; and this episode certainly did.

It reminded me of the first two episodes of this season, "Broken" (Part 1&2). It shows House in such a desperate situation like you've never seen him before. While watching Episode 601 & 602, i nearly had to cry when House told Elvy that he was broken.

But this episode tops that. During the last 5 minutes, i really cried. House did everything to save the patient's live, but that wasn't enough. After stating in Episode 621 that he indeed is miserable, he now learns that being a medical miserable genius isn't enough. And that's hard for him to accept.

This was the most thrilling and dramatic House episode I've seen so far. It is even better than "Broken", "Both Sides Now", "Wilson's Heart" and "No Reason".

Enjoy it if you can...

A flawless masterpiece

[randreww · 10/10 · 13 December 2014]

House is a very watchable show. There's black humour, intelligent writing, deep characters, but in a very rigid format. TV-show format. There's something special about an episode that has all the richness of a film! Sure! But this is still a very unique exception.

The production on this episode is staggering at times. The actors.. all of them contributed moving performances. A special mention has to go to China Shavers, who plays 'Hannah' - the trapped, scared but brave family girl whose life is impinged via the 10 tons of concrete on her leg. Without her tears constantly wetting the dust on her face, this episode might not have had the impact it deserved.

The writers exceeded themselves in this episode, often compelling you into places you'd rather not go. Spacing each section of dialogue to give it even more impact.

Hugh Laurie never stops amazing me with his talent for acting. I often wonder how he manages to portray such depth of emotional torment without having his own experiences to reference these profound feelings to. He is at his best in this episode. And by the end, he holds your heart in his hand.

The score in this particular episode has some of the best cues & is stripped down to strings quartet & percussion for a lot of it. I know strings are considered cliché, but it's done very well here. I suspect he used more tenor to contrabass, maybe even layered French horn gently which gave added space to the Viola solos in the higher range. It's a very hypnotic score which deserves praise.

I love House M.D. I always felt I lost Doctor Who when it was modernized & completely turned in-side-out from the creative but well written show it used to be. But I'm always grateful for loosing one Doctor for another even better one! I still miss the show to this day. I related so much to Gregory House, & apart from having a cane & using pain meds to manage my own condition; It helped me cope with pain. It was a way to explain it to people, & gain some sympathy instead of just being misunderstood! It's episodes like this one which will still captivate people 30 years from now. The other series of it's time can't hold a candle to the balance House M.D. achieved.

Triumph and tragedy

[UniqueParticle · 10/10 · 15 August 2020]

An incredible season 6 finale about a crane knocking down a building and trapping a woman under the rubble where House does everything he can to help her! Nice change of pace that is very well done with some happy moments, unfortunate occurrences, and magnificent surprises! Very much deserves the high ratings.

Help Me...Season 6 Finale

[marley-purt · 10/10 · 4 May 2012]

Cuddy, House and members of the team join forces with a search-and-rescue team to provide much-needed medical attention at the scene of an emergency.

Great episode. Emotion. Suspense. See Greg House as a human...rare, but well done!

If you are a fan, it is a MUST see. If you don't like House(the character) you might just change your mind. Watch this episode and you won't regret it.

At the time of airing there were people who said that some events were not beneficial to the show or that they did not like where it might be headed.

Very touching episode.

Awesome season finale

[LoveIsAStateOfMind · 10/10 · 30 December 2015]

I've really liked this season of House ... well, apart from the whole Chase/Cameron thing falling apart (but although I was against bringing her back for that one ep, I definitely think it brought closure to that ship and was glad it happened. Plus there were some very sweet CC moments in it). There's been quite a few awesome episodes both case-wise and character development-wise. For a long time, whilst I always liked House/Cuddy, I could never see how it would actually work because I couldn't picture House in a relationship with anyone and didn't know how much of his behaviour towards her was him actually liking her or whether he was just being House but I think they've done a good job this season (and last season) in convincing me of his true feelings for her and, you know, on reflection, the whole Lucas/Cuddy was a good idea as it brought a whole new dynamic and made House realise some things.

Oh wow, this episode, this episode. LOVED IT. Maybe my favourite House finale? I don't know ... but they didn't do anything ~funny~ like with fantasies or hallucinations or anything. It was just straightforward, raw. Cuddy out in the field in a jumpsuit! Full of House/Cuddy moments. Gah, the way they looked at each other after he climbed into the ambulance and just before he shut the doors. Oh God the patient!!!!! When Foreman ran forward an opened the ambulance doors and everyone inside just sitting there ....

The end with the way it mirrored last season's finale! OMIGOD CUDDY'S SPEECH!!!!! During the speech she gave him earlier when she told him she didn't love him, I obviously gathered that she was lying but it made me think that we'd have to wait until next season to see that but then OH MY GOD!!! So so so beautiful!!!! "How do I know I'm not hallucinating?". AND THE LAST SHOT OF THEIR HANDS LINKED. BEST HOUSE FINALE EVER.

6 seasons and I think they've had the perfect progression. If they'd dragged it out even longer then it would be too long but if they'd had it happen any sooner then I would never have believed they had any hope of ever finding happiness in each other, no matter how they felt for each other.

They didn't blow it! We've finally seen the touching side of House

[oladiranabimbola · 10/10 · 18 May 2010]

...never mind the atrocious review somebody wrong earlier(stating "they blew it". What exactly did they blow?). This episode was the perfect season finale. It was probably the right time for House and Cuddy to get together since the viewers have been teased for so long. House has done a lot of growing up over the past season and has started to take responsibility for his childish tendencies. It was about time something joyous happened to him in his rather miserable life given his recent reformation. It would be interesting to see how the Cuddy/House relationship develops next season. I think we are in for a scintillating opening for next season......very much looking forward to it.

"You can't always get what you wanted"

[coflaky · 10/10 · 20 June 2021]

This is the best episode of the series. There are many puzzling, mind-blowing episodes of House. We all love them. But never before or after an episode hits you this hard.

The main theme of this season was "Do everything right and things still go bad." And the main theme of the episode was exactly that. The patient even says something like that. Doing everything right, treating everyone nice yet a building collapses on you.

I like this show because underneath the brainy surface there is an emotional core. Chase is usually at the center of the emotional scenes and parts. Sometimes it's House and sometimes the others.

The best one is this episode. We buy that Hugh Laurie certainly can play a brilliant doctor but he can also play a guy who just lost his mind brilliantly.

Overall, I know there are more experimental, more sophisticated episodes but this one hit me the most, so I declare that, for me, this is the best episode of House.

You can't always get what you wanted.

The one sentence core of the show.

First Episode to Make Me Sob

[veronicaleenation · 10/10 · 13 May 2020]

This episode was the best season finale I've seen. All the characters are important, it's realistic and heartbreaking, and you're just yelling at your screen and have chills the whole time. Absolutely amazing episode. First House episode to make me sob.

The show blew it in a very good & interesting way - the IMDb reviewer blew it by not getting the point

[rai_maximus · 8/10 · 18 May 2010]

Note to "budwebster": I am not getting personal - its just my small review & a counter-argument to your review. I respect you and respect your tastes. I must commend you for his command of the English language. But there are some mistakes in semantics and contextual connotations. I think you make a few minor valid points, but completely miss the larger picture and the deeper point.

Firstly, the story arc has developed and sustained over 6 immense seasons - there is only so many medical mysteries and so many subplots you can develop - they have exhausted all of them by now. Viewership has gone down for the show simply because it has become formulaic and the writers have little room to create/explore new story-arcs. In order for the show to meaningfully sustain for more seasons, it must be able to expand its universe and give its characters more room to play - that can only happen if you are willing to remodel central/key characters to accommodate interesting story-arcs which were previously not possible. Its risky - sometimes it works, sometimes it ruins the show - but it HAS to be done. My point is EVERY SHOW GOES THROUGH THIS - it took 4 seasons in Dexter and its taken 5-6 seasons in House.

Secondly, I notice that a lot of viewers are fidgety about House being curmudgeon and nothing else. Please remember - Greg House isn't Batman, he isn't Joker - he isn't Black or White, Kind or Hostile - he's always been a shade of grey. He was right from the beginning one complicated jumbled mess, who happened to be curmudgeonly most of the times. Time and time again, we have seen a departure from that foul-mood predisposition and we got glimpses of a flawed multi-dimensional creature who prefers to remain in one dimension most of the time, but sometimes he shows emotional vulnerability. Over time, this has solidified into something very noticeable and we have seen how he fundamentally changed through S5 & S6.

Thirdly, when Cuddy & House did re-unite - I didn't go "Awww" and I am sure most people wouldn't have reacted that way. I am sure the producers didn't intend it that way too. Everything that unfolded over S1-S6 (especially S5& S6, when we saw House transforming & soul-searching) was logically leading to one thing - Cuddy & House finally uniting. I don't see a single thing wrong with this premise. It HAD to happen - the fact that they managed to fend it off for SIX seasons is in itself a tremendous feat in writing & shows the brilliance and tenacity of the writers/producers.

Finally, a minor point I wish to correct - the reviewer mentioned that House puts his life in danger to find Hanna because "he was still the same doctor who got into medicine to help in situations exactly like this one" - this is simply not accurate. Over the course of the show, time & time again, House has demonstrated (in Wilson's words) a "Rubik's complex" - which involves indulging his own ego, self-interest and intellect at the expense of patients & doctors. It is the fundamental transformation through S5 & S6, that causes House to behave & act in ways outside of his own self-interest or his own puzzle-solving desires. It is the fundamental transformation through S5 & S6, that causes House to behave & act in ways outside of his own self-interest or his own puzzle-solving desires. House risks his life BECAUSE of the show's evolution over S5 & S6. And since evolution thus far has provided meaty material & gripping drama, there is no reason to doubt that further evolution (CH unison) will not continue to provide ample opportunity for good drama.

If I have one or two criticisms, it is that the Cuddy-House unison seemed very sudden and out of place - not from the larger story-arc (it was logical and expected) - but from the short term Cuddy-Lucas-House story-arc. It felt a little convenient and contrived, since we saw Cuddy sleeping around with Lucas and seemingly being a happy couple. In my opinion, the writers/producers simply didn't optimally space/distribute the CLH storyline over the entire season & misjudged the natural gradient of the CLH storyline. As a result, the latter half of the season seemed rushed & the CH unison seemed sudden and the entire thing appears like a screenplay quick-fix. But that doesn't discount the fact that the general direction of the entire show over 6 seasons was naturally culminating to this point.

I can live with this misjudged timing issue and so can most House viewers. The larger point is that the inevitable twist & fundamental metamorphosis that each show MUST undergo has now come to House MD. The writers now have more room to play with and I am sure its gonna lead to some interesting episodes & seasons. Like another reviewer remarked, I too have an intuition that S7 might be the last - things look to be heading that way. Another major clue is how 13's character also seems to be on the cusp of a major remodeling/event (I am guessing its a resignation letter she puts on House's table - but I may be wrong). House MD seems to be consolidating its story-arcs into something definitive and convergent & I think that the series might well wrap up in the next season. (I sincerely hope it doesn't). Whatever it is, it is definitely compelling television drama and it has opened up avenues for injecting freshness into the show's story-arc fabric.

Help me change.

[movie_junkie_cro · 10/10 · 18 May 2010]

This episode truly showed House's "soft" side. It described his need to change, the helplessness he feels in making a change. But most importantly, it shows his willingness to change.

I disagree with the previous statement that "they blew it". I believe they've done something quite on the contrary. This is one of the rare episodes in which viewers can understand House as a normal human being with feelings just like anybody else.

Of course there are some things like the secret Vicodin stash that were predictable. (But we see that in every movie, in every TV show... so what?) However, House opening his feelings about his leg pain, the consequences he has to bear with every day, him connecting with one of the rare patients, and of course seeing Cuddy and House getting romantically involved, even for maybe just a few episodes is a good even necessary change.

The show definitely becomes more interesting since we will now be able to watch their struggle to keep the relationship on. For those who do not want House to be only a genius and cynical character, this "change" will show another side of House, which I am sure most of House fans are eager to see.

Now we can follow the cases of the genius, cynical, sarcastic and romantic House. :)

I only hope that this does not mean the show is heading to a terminal end, like many other shows that are being canceled in the past few days.

The best House MD episode EVER!

[joplambrix · 10/10 · 18 May 2010]

I rarely rate movies, shows or anything other with a 10, but this episode is the best frigging' episode out there! I've watched it 3 times in a row (yes ha ha I'm a geek.. -.-) but seriously.. watch this, love this, and pray that season 7 had started 5 minutes ago! THE BEST!

{!!!BIG TIME SPOILER DOWN HERE! DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!!}

House goes out to help Cuddy and more paramedics on a scene where train has crashed! Whilst helping people he finds himself discovering a victim under the ground. He goes in to rescue her but her leg is stuck. In the struggle of how to save her he endangers himself and others. Meanwhile Cuddy announces to be engaged to Lucas. She calls House a no-life who has been stuck in the same life for years while others have moved on. In the end House finally decides to amputate his patients leg against her and his own will. But the amputation took place after a too long amount of time and the patient dies in the ambulance. A distraught and hurt House runs home, smashes his mirror to grab his very last very well hidden stack of Vicodin pills. Cuddy catches him as he opens the bottle and puts the pills in his hand. Shes not there to stop him, merely to tell him something. On the verge of slipping back into his old pattern (which he fought his way out of for months) House has the pills at his lips...

Mixed feelings

[kellielulu · 6/10 · 5 July 2022]

I would have been more on board with House and Cuddy if they hadn't changed them so much or at least the dynamics. Early seasons it was fun more often than not they had a great verbal volley. No one got hurt too much too often. All Cuddy's sparkle faded and House became so desperate for her when I don't think the feelings ran that deep . They keep trying to rewrite their history. I would have preferred they just find a more recent starting point where they start seeing each other in a new way .Stacy was House's big love . I would have been for them bringing her back before they did Huddy so badly.

The disaster they had to made little sense for Cuddy to send House or any doctor without the training of search an rescue. House especially with his disability shouldn't have been down there.

They BLEW IT.

[budwebster · 1/10 · 18 May 2010]

This had all the earmarks of being a pivotal episode, one which would force House into making changes in the way he approaches life on a very fundamental level.

But then they blew it.

Consider: nobody is better at emergency triage than House. He has no illusions, no innate sympathy to cause hesitation in deciding who gets treatment NOW and who can wait - and who is a waste of resources. His compassion leaves absolutely no room for mercy. He did this well, for all that he was clearly not enjoying the situation, and this boded well for the rest of the hour.

But then, they blew it.

When he found Hanna, we were proud of him. He didn't take the word of the rescuers when they insisted they didn't hear anything, he didn't flinch when he realized that he was going to have to put himself (and his bad leg) in serious peril in order to find the injured party. He did it because underneath all the bitterness and disappointment, he was still the same doctor who got into medicine to help in situations exactly like this one. He thought fast, he thought correctly, and he acted a she should have given the circumstances.

But then...well, you know.

Having to face his own anger and cynicism about his own lameness, having it play out in front of him in the person of a stranger with whom he had nothing else in common (and therefore, with whom he had no prior grudge and no reason to obfuscate or lie), and having been given the Final Word by Cuddy so that he was stripped right the way down to his metaphorical skin and bones, he acquitted himself honorably, truthfully, and with a dignity we've not seen in him before this except in split-second bursts under extreme pressure.

He was literally, after Hanna's death on the way to the hospital (a death he could NOT have prevented even if he had agreed to the amputation at the beginning), reduced to slouching on his bathroom floor like a latter-day Elvis or Lenny Bruce, both of whom are as much his dramatic progenitors as Sherlock Holmes ever was.

On the very edge of our chairs, we watched as he smashed his mirror (no extra points for recognizing THAT symbolism) to reveal his final stash of Vikes - which we, of course, always knew he had hidden somewhere. We watched as he shook tablets from the bottle, debated whether or not to pop them (and perhaps the rest as a final "fuck you" to the world of Princeton Plainsboro).

And then. Then they BLEW IT. There's not a chance in hell that House and Cuddy will ever, EVER be able to be together romantically, except as they have been for the past few seasons - as opponents. Yeah, House desperately needs to change. Yeah, he needs to find a way of dealing with people that isn't soaked with bitter sarcasm and deliberate line-crossing. This, however, is an incredibly false move, one that the producers must have thought would make the viewers go "Awwww..."

Nope. They blew it.

Good way of ending the season

[uarpak · 10/10 · 18 May 2010]

I've just watched this episode and I can say that a good (and surprising) ending. First of all, a multitasking House (finding a survivor under the building while trying to solve the problem of crane operator) was same with the same annoying, cool but inspiring way. As the building collapsed, House was collapsing in his own life while Cuddy and Wilson is moving on. There was no gigs like using electro shock to find out what happened to Wilson's girlfriend or solving a case while hallucinating because of his illness and Viacoding, etc. But, he is sharp enough to solve the puzzle of the survivor girl and crane operator he was collapsing while trying to solve the puzzle of his life. By the way, the final of the episode was makes this episode one of the best episode of House M.D.

While I was watching, I thought that new season will be a return to Season 4 or 5 but if this show will continue a new show is waiting for us. This will be interesting to watch. A new Dr. House with a new life. I don't want give any spoiler as possible but last 3 minutes of this episode is nearly astonishing ans shocking.

Enough but just not enough

[sirpy20 · 9/10 · 19 May 2010]

With all the hype building towards a season finale on a show that is teetering on the brink of a cancellation, the finale was a pleasant surprise.

Until now, all season finales have been intricate psychological puzzles with something the viewer would be engrossed in unraveling or stunned by the revelation. But this one tends to differ. With a crashed remains of a building as the backdrop House once more goes back to what he is used to doing best - diagnosing on the go. But with a difference - he is shown to be emotional for each diagnosis that he makes. The offhandedness that is characteristic of every action of his is missing, probably deliberately. It could have been a major clue for viewers to deduce the ending which was nowhere near what anybody could have been thinking.

In fact it is so nowhere near, that its reasoning can run to multiple discussions. But since news is around that the show is being renewed for another season, something close to a rational answer can be expected.

Other than the emotional puzzles, Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein have surpassed themselves in the acting department along with the almost insane combinations of lighting and sets. Direction/Writing is once again splendid with symbolic references thrown throughout the episode.(look out for the walking stick analogy)

Hope the premiere of the next season brings the season finale to a better conclusion.

the best

[xmaghol · 10/10 · 21 September 2021]

Soo good acting ans soo emotional 😢 .

. .

. .

.

Finally

[mde_09 · 9/10 · 1 September 2010]

I just read a guy saying he hopes this to be another hallucination. Two arguments against.

First of all, the series has to finish some day. I REALLY like this one, but making it too long is the usual mistake. I hope they act intelligently, and recognize the moment to end it.

The second one: talking about a "magic hand" doesn't make sense. There is nothing magic about it. Coddy is in love with him, something everybody knows, so getting married with another man is an obvious mistake. So its logical she wants to be with House. At the end of episode, when house leaves in the ambulance Cuddy can clearly see the emotional state of House. So this plus the change House had shown is enough to consider this ending a logical one. You don't have to believe in magic to know that something good can happened, unless you are like House ;)

The foreshadowing was there

[qatmom · 9/10 · 19 May 2010]

Most characters in television series are static and unchanging; the individual we see in season 6 is the same one we knew in season 1. TV is like that, for various reasons.

I saw the foreshadowing of the last scene episodes ago, when Lucas shown to be irresponsible and just not there for Cuddy, who is a mother now and who doesn't need an adult child to care for. I did not think the show would have the guts to actually grow up House into more of an adult, but they did. Little hints were dropped. I wasn't sure what Cuddy was going to do with House, but I knew she was going to get rid of Lucas.

This isn't a "happily ever after" scenario. This isn't the grand symmetrical solution to all of House's quirky personality issues, so I don't expect the next season to be sweetness and light. Plenty will go wrong--if things don't go astray, there is no story.

I only hope that we haven't been tricked, and that House really was hallucinating.

How can it not be an hallucination?

[levdr · 10/10 · 20 May 2010]

This is one of the great episodes of the series, but the end has got to be a hallucination. How could it not be? House left the crash scene, leaving Cuddy behind. The injured woman dies in the ambulance, and after arriving at the hospital House leaves for home, enters the bathroom, gets the pills and sits down. Then, out of nowhere, Cuddy enters.

Where did she come from? How did she get there? How did she know where to find House? Why is she dressed like that? It's obviously cold outside, but there she is, not wearing the coverall, not wearing a coat. Nothing of this makes sense. Nor do her words. Why would she all of a sudden show up in House's bathroom, declaring her love for him? It simply makes no sense. This is House hallucinating. The fact that he has the two Vicodin still in his hands means nothing. That too is part of the hallucination.

Now, I understand how people are romantic and want House and Cuddy to end up together. But it happening like this goes against everything the series has shown us of House and Cuddy. It really does make no sense.

My prediction of the first episode of season 7: House hallucinated and we see him back chez dr. Noland again.

Loved the finale

[beethi29 · 10/10 · 19 March 2021]

Awesome series to watch. Surely, House is a messed up character, and finally he is lucky to have Cuddy. I hope he doesn't mess up their relationship and live happily ever after.

I do hope this was a hallucination

[AlienByChoice · 9/10 · 15 June 2010]

A great episode, no question about it. We see the emotional evolution and then devolution of House. He is facing a reality where being "House" is not acceptable anymore, and where logic and knowledge do not rule the world. His fragile emotional world collapsing, he can't even resort to the world of medical challenges where he believe he has the ultimate control, because that control is just imaginary and the harsh reality is setting in. And then, just as he is about to descend back into being House of seasons 3-4, we get the most surreal and ridiculous ending. House's life is an ongoing struggle within himself, it's a cyclical lifeline. And over the last few episodes we watched him descend into one of the deepest recesses on that graph. The ending of this episode either meant that we just witnessed House reach the bottom, or that a magic hand pulled him up by his hair onto the surface. I do hope it was the former - I (and I think the majority of House audience) am not a great believer in the magic hand. So for now, it's a 9/10. But should it turn out to be the magic hand, 5/10 would be more like it.

Not seeing what other people see in this episode...

[m-47826 · 3/10 · 23 May 2022]

To be honest, I thought it was boring. Not as much as the last one. But it didn't hold a candle to previous seasons finales, and that Grey's episode that aired the same time this one did. The patient was clearly not making it, so I didn't see anything surprising when she eventually died from complications. House's reaction was weird. He's already had patients dying under his care, so why all the whining? It felt forced. Just like Cuddy's sudden realization. I'm fine with it, at least it means Lucas is out of the picture. And the show for that matter. But why did it had to be so corny? I think the biggest issue with this episode, is the melodrama. And as we already know by now, it doesn't work on a show like House M. D.

Pretty Good

[michyh1 · 8/10 · 19 May 2010]

I liked when Cuddy laid it on the line with House with the "move on" speech. Go Cuddy!

I also liked the fact that House laid out his entire situation to Hannah in a nutshell. The finale was almost like a review of the entire series (if you've never seen the show, this one probably would bring you up to speed really quick).

Although we are assured that this is not a hallucination, I'm still hesitant on that score. House did get stuck in a secondary collapse....I hope the writers don't toy with us again, that would not be cool.

What would be cool would be seeing how the complications unfold regarding House & Cuddy trying to "make it work". Then again, jumping the shark is still in the back of my mind so I am slightly cynical as to what happened - but in the end I did like it for now!

The Mind Boggles... for now anyway!!

[a-movie-fan · 8/10 · 15 June 2010]

Just watched this seasons final episode and without a doubt was one of the best I've seen in a while so I'd like to commend the writers and team on keeping us glued to our TV's yet again.

I've noticed that many of us fans are not quite sure what to make of the ending and I too have my own opinions of what it was all meant to be or not to be! I think that's what they do so well and I cannot wait to see what they have in store for us next season. I do think it was time to change it as I agree with another reviewer when they stated that there are only so many medical procedures/diagnosis's you can come up with in 6 extraordinary seasons. Time to amp it up a bit and move the House character along again.

For conversation sake and the fact I couldn't help but have this thought myself, I'd like to know if anyone had/has the feeling that I did toward the end that perhaps House was considering taking the advice he gave the young woman just before he 'operated' on her?? He seemed to really be taking in his own words, that being that his leg is nothing but pain to him and has changed him etc etc. I wondered whether he would consider, now that he's voiced the fact it's changed him as a person, and have it removed??? Given he said she'd have a prosthetic in no time and be better than he ever will, could this be a possible future storyline? Could he? Could they, the writers? Would he? Would they, the writers? What would people think if he did choose this path, thus obviously us as an audience, then seeing how much of Gregory House is/was the leg and how much is/was him and/or stays with him?! Was just wondering if anyone else thought he may have been thinking or considering this option at any point during that episode? Possibly one of the only TV series I have ever been still completely interested in after 6 seasons!! Well done to everyone who is involved with bringing us 'House!'

Tries to hard

[rwk2 · 5/10 · 14 September 2010]

I had a couple of issues with this episode. Short and sweet: it made no sense for the characters.

1) No everyone in the crash needs a doctor, most just need bandages, so let's send the team to help the driver, whose not even breathing hard. Shouldn't the doctors hold to their ethical standards and treat the people who are screaming? Both at the scene and at the hospital?

2) A woman is trapped underneath a collapsed building, HIGHLY unstable, and risks the lives of all the rescue workers when it comes to a choice between amputation or wait-and-see? Since when do the patients in high risk situations get to decide the fate of others? Tell you what, you can live or you can die.

3) For that matter, why does House care? Every other patient he couldn't care less about wasting his time with but suddenly because Cuddy is getting married he's a different man. It sets up the ending but sacrifices the storyline and character acting. Ditch this woman and move on to, again, the screaming other people who need medical attention.

4) She dies and it crushes House. So? How many times has he told other doctors, interns, and nurses they WILL kill someone at some point in their careers? He should have been able to walk away from it without flipping out and Foreman trying to rescue him. Particularly since it wasn't his fault. She died due to no one's fault. She just died.

Not bad, but not that good either.
