4th Post (House MD, Spoilers)

Hey, I got a new site layout! The top part was mostly designed by me, with some help from mom, because I’m pretty much an HTML or Photoshop or whatever- noob. Oh well. Wilson looks really ahh-dorable in his picture . I like this one better, even though Quentin was pretty good as well as a layout. I’ve decided to dedicate this post to reviewing and commenting on the last episode of the fourth season. After the title, this is the last warning for those who haven’t seen it: SPOILERS AHEAD.

That said, Amber dies. I really liked her character. But she had to go. Everything the show could get out of her character it already got. I mean, she tried her hardest, she got fired, she was Wilson’s girlfriend but they were so opposites that it would be awkward in future episodes. I think the last episode tied up those knots very neatly.

However, this should shake up Wilson’s relationship with House (in the friendship sense) a lot. I mean, if House hadn’t gotten drunk, or called Wilson for help, or gotten picked up by Amber, or gotten on the bus, none of this would have happened. And even before House decided- diagnosed- that she was going to die, Wilson was already suspicious about House being “into” Amber after what the barman said. He tries to tell Wilson that, quote unquote, “If he had any brains he wouldn’t be giving out drinks” or something like that, but it’s clear the he doesn’t really know if he had been having an affair with her or not. And even after it is confirmed that he wasn’t from the memory stimulation with electricity, the fact remains that the barman did, after all, say that she had seemed like his girlfriend on that fateful night. So Wilson isn’t sure what’s going on, and in the previous episode he was already coming to terms with his conclusion that House had feelings for her, after House said that he would like to see her naked. In his typical House-like manner.

I LOVE this last episode. It’s just beautiful. It leaves a few “to be continued” things, like “what will happen with Wilson and House” and “will there be a Huddy” and “will Cuddy and Wilson hook up, or will he be sadly in distress after the death of his wife” and “will Wilson come into even deeper stages of depression after he was already on speed for his first depression.” But it also ties up some things nicely, like confirming that Thirteen does have Huntington’s. I wish she didn’t. I want her to live, because i love her character as the person who messes with House because he can’t figure her out.

There isn’t much humor in it. There are hardly any House cracks that are his signature, and it is not your typical episode. But any death scene with Amber and Wilson is bound to be awkward, because they are sort of polar opposites. I think it’s the best it could possibly be. And Wilson’s acting was PERFECT. I’m not just saying that because I’m in love with him, either.

When you think about it from a perspective, Amber sort of had to go. (This paragraph is repetitive.) Her and Wilson had a mostly physical relationship, I think, even though they were in love and made a very good ’ship. But she got between House and Wilson, and their relationship should stay the way it was, as good friends, without a girl between them. I think she was in love with Wilson, but I also think a small to medium-sized part of her was trying to get revenge on House (for firing her) by being Wilson’s girlfriend. And all there was to her character was already had. I mean, she tried her hardest to get the job, she was fired and crushed, she was Wilson’s girlfriend and wife, and she could have kept being his wife I suppose but there wasn’t much left to her character. She had potential, just not that much compared to all the new characters.
