He didn’t specify how to lol. It’s like the Joker in The Dark Knight is holding Rachel by the window and Batman says, “Let her go.” and Joker responses with, “Very poor choice of words.” Then he throws her out the window. Meaning Batman didn’t specify HOW to let her go.
Yeah this was the last episode I believe, and I remember when i saw it, i was shocked as fuck. But after seeing it again, theres only one thing wrong with this scene. Wilson would not have gotten out of that car so easily. The first thought in his mind would be, Great, House is going to abandon me here with no way home, however many hour away (This at Cuddy's sister's house) so theres no way he'd letHouse in that car alone, and just willingly get out without AT LEAST 5 back and forths. But the fact that he didnt argue, like you guys said, made the scene all the better because there was no awkward tension, it was just, pure. I feel like Cuddy and them could've had more fear in their eyes. I mean they could've been killed. What if Cuddy had been standing there. Can you even imagine. Also what does this ending imply? He went to Tahiti or whatever to live out his days, but he's still the same guy so he'll solve puzzles for the locals, and fill his god complex by doing everything he can to help them as long as they give him respect and admiration. I say this because after everything he went through, he'll never try to forge meaningful relationships again, he's broken, completely, and this is proof. Now he'll just satiate his id completely. I'd love to see this house spinoff where he's just solving medical problems for locals, and they worship him as the great healer (I know this isnt some ancient culture, but how many doctors of house' standing are there.) only thing is, I love cameron so much, because shes so hot, and we've spent so long building on these characers, i'd want them back. But, i'm sure a spinoff ehre would still be great. too bad they never made more, this show was pure genius.
Wait, I'm sorry. Maybe I am misunderstanding. Do you think this was the series finale? If so, no. This was the season 7 finale and 8 was the last. So as far as what this season ending implied, to me, is despite being so far into the series, House is still an ass. He initially has the intentions of going in, returning the brush, and being done with it. But when he sees how happy Cuddy is (Without him, in House's eyes), he quickly develops a new agenda --- to ruin it. House making Cuddy feel miserable like he is, made him "Feel much better." And he dips out to Tahiti to avoid getting arrested.
I think this is revenge. Not from how Cuddy 'just' had a guy over. Though because house warned against Cuddy of them dating and she pushed on. When he finally is able to realize he's actually happy and putting aside his fears, Cuddy pushes him away over the fears he initially addressed. Seeing her able to move on so quickly after destroying house, he wanted to show exactly how he felt by destroying hers.
Konoyaro I absolutely agree with you except that House was first to pursue Cuddy romantically, it's not like she came on to him and started talking him into beign together. But overall, I agree with your explanation
Well, he was right. House went and found a bar that fit his mood...and apparently, after crashing his car through Cuddy's front window and parking it in her dining room, he feels pretty damn good~
Alexis Grunden wilson is who more know house,he know him for almost 20 years in season 7,even much more cuddy because she work with him for ten years but only handle him six months like her boyfriend.
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 When did they sleep together? House was expelled and didn't get a chance to have a relationship with her, and I don't remember them smashing
I don’t think the beginning of the final season followed this up well. What happened in this finale was a big deal, not just legally, but also for house as a person, and the show only acknowledges the criminal aspect
Weird how Cuddy is the only one who looks utterly horrified at what House did. The one guy is just holding his mug with a blank expression, and the other two just look curious
Well it helps that it’s not their house or their mess to clean up and deal with lol I bet it helps knowing you get to just go tf home and not have to deal with that shitshow of a mess lol
@@egirlcafemanager7119 , it’s not bad acting though because there are people like the people in Cuddy’s home that are done with life completely; them having to deal with the biggest bullshit of all time, so them seeing a car fly through someone else’s home just seems secondary in their points of view.
I love even when he was in his most irrational moment tells Wilson to get out because doesn't wanna him getting involved in the most stupidest thing he will do in his life
You take a person who avoided emotions their entire life. Break them down and get them to finally feel. Once you've reached your goal you drop them like they wasn't even a spec of dust. You move on with no remorse at all. Yeah... I say House was being too nice to return her brush.
@@renameduser6668 But they mentioned Cuddy during season 8, it's not like the producers could not put some easter egg like flowers with the name Cuddy during the scene. They really wanted us to forget about the character and that's fine.
Been in a similar situation. My love life sucks to the point I'd closed myself up not wanting to get hurt again. Had been that way for awhile. Ran into an old flame from almost 15 years ago one day. Beautiful woman who I'd always said was out of my league. She starts chasing me, and I tell her no because I always get hurt, but she persists. Where we have history she talked about adopting my son, and maybe getting her tubes fixed so we can have a kid one day. Telling me she's not like the others and would never do me that way breaking down my walls until I'm 100% in the relationship. Barely a month after that I start seeing the tell tell signs. Long story short she did everything she promised she wouldn't. And did them with someone I knew. Been nice to have a TV show life and drove my car through her house then went to Mexico like nothing
I love how calmly and with complete silence he gets out of the car, steps around it and the debris and hands her the brush like he didn’t just drive into her home.
You can actually see this throughout the whole show, not only color but also camera work, movement, shots, who its focused on, gives it more depth once you notice
After being heartbroken completely, by seeing her dating him, breaking up with him and moving on so quickly, after making him love and adore for her, the feelings he gave up long ago, House had to find the most quickest and the most destructive way to ruin her and somehow make her quit her job in the hospital because he couldn't and probably wouldn't stand her anymore, so he drove his car into her freaking house, fine it's still not rational thinking but it still fits House
That's the thing with hyper rationals, emotions aren't our friend. It's a vicious cycle that only reminds us feeling things is not as good as people make it out to be. So I may never be happy but I'll never be hurt, at best interested, at worst I'll be bored.
Right?! I'm looking at Cuddy and her guests like, ". . . y'all don't see him standing RIGHT there at that huge window???. . . they'll notice eventually. . ." (they still don't see him) ME: ( ( O_O ) ). . . .HOW??
oh come on. It's nice to have the insight of why crazy man do such coocoo things through the play but he ran into ex-lover's house, practically potential murder. In relationship btw House and Cuddy, it's not only House felt devastated, i think Cuddy suffered more during the time. So it's not right to judge she "destroyed" House.
I love how Wilson saw House smiling and being happy, but later he lied to cops about it, he said that House felt depressed and went to the darkest and most depressed hole in New Jerse, only to let House be happy for at least a while before they catch him.
Thats because he knew he wasnt happy. If Wilson really thought that,he wouldnt stay away from House for over a year afterwards,he would have approached him as if everything was fine.
Wilson thought House was depressed and he thought he was right about where he went. We see more evidence of that when we see him again and he tells House they aren’t friends anymore.
honesty with everything thats been done to him, but that was probably one of the major reasons, bend a man over and over again and be surprised when he finally snaps
He does bottle up his feelings a lot, using his brand of humour and cutting insults to deflect anyone that tries to examine him and how he's really feeling. House is a very private person who doesn't want people to like him, so he says and does things to push others away. Wilson seems to be the only person who saw through it.
To me it was a shame that Lisa Epstein and the executives couldn’t agree on a deal for her to be on season 8. I feel House and Cuddy didn’t get the ending they deserved.
Oh they _definitely_ didn't get the ending they deserved. I don't dislike how they ended their relationship, but I feel like it was still just a bit too cruel of a way to do it. I would've liked to have seen Cuddy at House's funeral at the very least. Would've brought a lot more closure to everything.
Gerald LeJeune It was Fox’s fault. They wanted to cut down on House’s budget as a whole ‘cuz they were spending 5Mil an episode. The other actors agreed to a pay cut, but I guess it must’ve been too low for her. Sadly, they’ll never get the ending they deserved other than in fan fictions. 😢
@@elmoglue Forman and Wilson actors did not take a cut actually (even were given a raise if I'm not mistaken) .... They couldn't offer the same to Lisa, assholes...
He drove his car into her dining room after seeing them sitting at that table. He had no reason to believe they weren't still at that table. Drove at it full speed. Even though he didn't kill them....he was probably either intending to or perfectly okay with it happening. Yikes, House.
@@advait35 Rachel could've been running around. He never sees her through the window with the others. He couldn't possibly know that no one would be in that room, or even enter it as he sped into the wall. It's attempted murder.
@@SergioSource most criminal charges are made from mens rea or “Guilty Mind”. If House had the full intention of property damage with the assumption that no one would be in the room, then it’d be hard to charge him with any level of attempted murder. However attempted manslaughter may be a better way to try and stick him with another crime, but even then that’s tricky if his intention was property damage, and no one got hurt.
The fact that mere seconds ago, the whole group was sitting around the table, and House had no way of knowing whether they'd moved or not.... Seems like he didn't care if he killed them. Blind luck that he didn't.
I saw it this way too. even though in court, season 8, he told the judges he knew 100% that they moved from that room, I think he told that because the lawyer advised him what to tell.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. People see this as a very "House" moment and laugh it off, but it's terrifying. House let his emotions control him to the degree that he'd kill, or he never really cared about killing to begin with. I can't tell which is worse.
@@Kyriakos703 Idk about that.. House always does dangerous and risky stuff, but there is always a line, and his "hunches" are 95% of the time right. Just like when he is treating a patient, he knows it's risky, that "usually good things happen, sometimes bad things happen", he saw them move out of the living room, knew Rachel wasn't even in the house but with her grandmother, and while he was driving straight he saw that they weren't here. He knew there was a chance he was wrong, but he was sure he would be right, and he was as usual, no one got hurt. But of course it doesn't excuse his behaviour.
Notice how his eyes were glossy. He was utterly heartbroken, depressed, and on WAY too much Vicodin trying to cope! He had hit rock bottom in his life. Watch season 7 to see how he got here. (this was the last clip of Season 7 Finale)
cuddy kind of had this coming. No one ever helped house. everyone knew he was suffering but only wilson really ever made the effort. Cuddy just reaped the rewards of him being clean of his addiction, but as soon as she found out he took one pill when he was scared for her life and needed a way to cope, she dumped him in 2 seconds flat. Cuddy, and cameron have become the most self centered bad people in the show.
Elias Bender nobody should be there for House to babysit him. Not even Wilson. Wilson just cares too much. Doesn’t matter if he’s in pain or not, there are some boundaries. House could handle the pain in other ways than drugs. He chose drugs and should expect how Cuddy will react. He literally made a poor of himself basically blaming Cuddy for everything but i feel like she was just tired of him. He didn’t care enough to protect the relationship. Even was surprised by her reaction. Like what did he expect? Also was surprised that Cuddy found somebody new after he decided to marry a whore? Instead of trying to fight for her and show her she’s the one he wants and speak with her about what happened? He literally made her leave him. It’s his fault. That was so stupid. He became stupid, annoying, emotional and miserable after Cuddy. Hate what they made of him.
House is an adult. They are not his baby sitters. One is his boss and the others are his work colleagues. If he can't handle his own shit then he needs to be in psychiatric care. It is unfair to dump his problems on them and call it their problems. If he needs help, he can get it easier then most. He is a doctor living in a highly developed western nation with lots of money.
All this talk of House is an adult, and should have known better and blah blah blah, absolves Cuddy et. al. of responsibility for their part in this. Cuddy knew what House was, and bailed the moment she thought she might not be able to handle it, but not before convincing House that he should take the risk that she'd bail like a flake. Which she did. House is to blame for his response, but acting like he alone is responsible is like wearing red in gang territory in Arkansas. You didn't deserve to get stabbed 42 times, but you were the one who chose to wear red in Crip territory in Arkansas.
It’s just super weird how Cuddy was one of the titular characters from the beginning of it all, and just completely disappears next season, even from the finale!
it wasnt just because of that, She was trying to get paid the same as Hugh Laurie which yes she is a good actor but she isn't the star of the show nor as good as him.
He still kept other stuff of her as shwon in S8,and in his final halluciantions,he confesses the only women he loved and could be with were either Stacy or Cuddy. Sooo that action failed.
the problem is that with house being house, that is just expected. the message doesn't really get sent if its a brush through a window because thats just another day for house.
In speedrunning, this is known as the "door skip," where instead of wasting time walking to the load zone from the street, the car enters the load zone and you skip right to the cutscene
they all poked and proded him to let his emotions out, and he did.... maybe they should have left him alone. could you imagine being house, cuddy was always there encouraging him to be more open giving him real hope for the future one where he doesnt need the vicodyn all he needs are his friends then they think she might have cancer he doesnt know how to cope with the fact he might loose her so he relapses and goes back to the one thing he knows will make him feel better, then just as his hope is restored she abandones him and just as he comes to terms with that she has already moved on which from his perspective looks like he barely mattered to her at all. house is obviously in the wrong with what he did but cuddy should have known better to get involved with someone so unstable, their relationship at least the way it started was comming from the wrong place, she seemed to pitty house rather than actualy love and respect him.
Will Forest i agree,it's cuddy fault too because she work with him for ten years before be together and know who house is and still choose him ,an addict,having a daughter who depend only of her,even house tell her after the night they sleep together,that he was a insane choice for somebody who had a child,but she don't listen him and say i don't want you change,and they only last 6 months together.
My issue is that Cuddy understood what she was getting into with House. She knew that everyone relapses at some point. House taking some vicodin during an incredibly stressful time - a time where his sole reason for being off the drug, the woman he has obsessed over and loved for years, could potentially die - in order to not only stabilise himself, but to stabilise himself SO THAT HE COULD BE THERE FOR HER, is by no means bad for the relapse.
Wilson mentions going to the worst and shadiest bar they can find to cope, but after he sees Cuddy and has his heart broken, only an ocean could represent his misery. Look at how dark and grey the clouds are in the final shot. This show is art.
@@zekeiwa5837 nono, hear him out. what house is feeling is nothing short of melancholic. house's feelings are fully bittersweet, on the brighter side he has finally driven (literally) a wedge between cuddy and himself, which gives them both a chance to move on. on the downside, he really will NEVER get her back, he has to let go of the hope. the show talks about hope and how with no hope, there is no happiness. the beach being representative of his feelings is also bittersweet. a beach, a supposedly happy place on a sunny day, can represent a massive amount of misery with a slight weather change. the clouds make it gloomy. the hope of a happy day are suddenly gone when it rains at the beach.
In my view House may have realised he couldn't have Cudy in his life anymore as he loved her and couldn't stand not being with her while seeing her at work. So He did this to make her move away completely
Astute observation. They broke House and Cuddy up because Lisa Edelstein was leaving the show due to a pay dispute. I wish she didn't leave, their relationship could've been so much more :(
@@Krysae I dont think he did. He made the dispute to the court saying he knew for a fact that no one would be there, but it also could've been appealing bullshit
So nobody is gonna notice that the 6:21 shot, it's directly taken from the painting "the wanderer above the sea of fog" that symbolizes the unknown future...? Such a great show!!!
From Cuddy’s point of view, House decided to drive his car straight through her dining room in order to return the brush she asked for after what she assumed was a heartfelt conversation where they made genuine progress.
House killing everyone in Cuddy’s home including Cuddy herself with his car, and him living his life in paradise away from the United States completely would have made a perfect series finale more than Season 8 finale of House M.D.
Some people are saying that this was a shark jumping moment, but i totally understand all the emotions house was going through after he saw the guy over. Very realistic scene.
@@vishaansingh1019 House was THAT good. That’s why Foreman got him release from prison to help save the lungs needed for a transplant. The writers (or whoever) came up with these stories are insanely talented!
@@hollyb6885 He still wouldn't have been allowed to keep his position after the transplant. I'm not gonna sit here and list the hundreds of times House would have been fired/arrested, and I understand it's a show, but they definitely went overboard at times.
@@vishaansingh1019 I agree that he should have been reprimanded or jailed many times. He was definitely a jerk much of the time but House was such a great character.
PLLEEEASE upload the scene after the woman’s leg is crushed and House yells to Foreman “That’s the point!” One of the best scenes in the show and you haven’t uploaded it yet!
Tobias Davies Buddy, I already watched that video. It doesn’t include the actual scene in the hospital where House yells at Foreman, just the amputation itself. Chill before you try to act smart. Plus, maybe you just have a different RU-vid service than I do (sarcasm), because the video you linked is the only one with a clip of that episode. There aren’t “several results”
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-u4hJnl-rfKA.html Two videos with "that's the point" in the video title. I'll concede that the original link didn't contain it. I guess I followed through to the other videos based on the comments complaining
Tobias Davies Lol I suppose you actually do have a different RU-vid service than me because that video is blocked in my country Edit: so’s the second video bro. Can you chill out? I wasn’t even being aggressive in my original comment so I don’t see why you feel the need to be a dick
I’m sure someone has mentioned this in these comments already but I’ve always loved the irony of Wilson saying the bar House will be at will be a reflection of his current state of mind with the assumption that it’s a dark depressing place. It’s true it’s a reflection of his current state of mind but house really did let it all out in that action, and while it may not have been a sane thing to do, he’s at a greater peace of mind and happier than he’s been in years. So he’s on a beach in the tropics.
I love the little boat on the beach, it always gives me the impression that House just jumped in a tiny rowboat and rowed himself across the ocean to paradise.
This is still and will only be the only medical show i like not that Grey's anatomy or er or the other 50 medical shows that come out every year those all suck this is the best one
Vodka Flask Genie well he just released all of his emotions from every episode of the show that's like saying "ppff you came in 10 strokes wuss" no i came from tens strokes because no nut november just ended (even though it isn't let's just use it as a metaphor)
Been there at that position. Seeing your loved one enjoying happily with another...while u r still struggling to get out of the mess they made. It hurts like hell.
*House hands her the brush Cuddy: This is my sister, her husband and their son. *House stares blankly, then realizes how to cure his dead patient before bouncing to a tropical resort*
So House was a 'genius' for knowig what happens with others and how they would react but couldn't see that Cuddy was suffering too. Sure. Let's make excuses . He wanted to hurt her because he was an assho%$. That's it.
This would have been a brilliant ending to the show. Ruining his career, destroying the last of his relationships, and spending those last few months in a sunny and far-away place while the feds track him down. Tragic and awesome and entirely in-character (at least with the contrivances of this season).
Say what you want but for this I put almost all blame on Cuddy. I say almost all because House took a pill at his weakest moment (and we know how addicts deal with harsh situations). But Cuddy accepted House as he was, made him feel safe, wanted. Made him open up. And because of a mistake that he did, because he loved Cuddy that much, she abandoned him. But as we saw, House dealt with that, didn't forget about her and went to meet her. What he saw that Cuddy went on as if House never existed, like he didn't matter. That situation would break ANYONE. So House broke her house
Worse than that, House told her how the relationship was going to end, before it started, and she still pushed him into it, and kept it going just long enough to convince him to accept that he might have been wrong, and it could last. Just long enough to let him hope that he could have happpiness, then ends it for the reasons he told her she would before, and move on immediately.
@@apishgaming5283 Well I take into account that no one got hurt. Attempted murder ofc would be too much. But other than that, terrifying or not cuddy was the one who caused it
I just realized that if they wouldn't have moved House would've just killed all of them. Like they all would've just died. That'd be an interesting ending to the show, House goes to prison for 4 cases of murder.
I don't know why it has only now dawned on me that all of those sitting at the table should have died. There really wasn't a reason for them all getting up--House was ready to kill all of them.
I remember wondering if he kills himself after Wilson dies and rewatching this 14+yrs later makes it obvious conclusion! They no longer write such complex characters like House. He's so tormented and addicted more to self-destructing than Vicodin and those around him were enabling him by either their disregard or normalizing his behavior
"Man enough" to do it. Lol. He drove a car through a house not caring whether he murdered 4 people or not. Is that how we're defining what men are these days?
Say whatever you want, house ramming the car is violence. Doesn't matter how much pain he was in, it was wrong when he punched chase and it was wrong when he did this. She broke his heart, he doesn't want to be aroung her, fine, resign and move away. She being cold hearted doesn't justify he becoming a murderer in this situation. Also, we have to consider the fact that the main reason she broke up with house is because of her fears not just for their relationship but her daughter.
Start of episode: "He'll be in a bar. It will look the way he feels on the inside. Somewhere dark, the absolute deepest pit you can find in New Jersey" End of Episode: *House sits at a bar with music that emanates celebration. Its bright, cheerful, and all around generally just a good vibe all around.* God I love this shows symbolism XD Rot in hell Cuddy! LOL
It feels somewhat out of character to for Wilson to get out of the car so easily. Seeing House that angry which in all honesty is kind of rare he would know at the very least House would do something self destructive if left alone. There should be an argument but he just gets out the moment House tells him to. Wilson wouldn't fold so easily.
The crash scene made me contradict my insides. I feel house, I know how shitty it is when a person that you need in your life and you love so much carelessly dumps you. She deserved that, but at the same time, it was taken far too far. It wasn't necessary to crash into her house. I mean my x bumped me two years ago, but I still work for her as a plumber and I still go to have tea with her from time to time. Not much from motivation, but because she is one of my richest employers and I need to keep connections warm. But house took it way too far, it as really not necessary to do such kind of an act.
its not that simple, if it wasnt clear already house had underlying mental issues and his work in plumbing has him consulting his ex every day by being either passive aggressive or annoying but still being her "friend" that kind of unrequited love only builds up if it doesn't blow up, unluckily for cuddy and house it blew up way later because house doesnt have a short fuse, but the sparks gonna reach eventually and that bomb is only getting bigger, people saying "dont bottle things up" isnt just what you say in a situation or neutral advice its the real deal, and if you think you wouldnt snap under the weight of those explosives or in your case the pressure in my pipes you must think your also bullet proof and can walk through walls
No, she didn't deserve that. He try to break her relationship with a man, accept to be in a relationship with her, act like a child when he found out she was sick and destroy her house just because he saw her with people in her house. Wtf is wrong with you. He was selfish.
