After watching this episode I did not know how to feel. It was probably
the best and worst moment in any TV-show that I've ever seen. I just
sat silently, listening to the music with tears falling from my eyes,
the fact that i cried for the first time in five years almost shocked
me more than the ending.
The characters in this show have never felt more alive than after this
episode, and I can't wait to see more - Nothing can compare to this
show when it comes to the actors skill, the script and the ability for
the show to really affect you a deeper way than you thought possible.
I love this show and will continue watching it for as long as it airs.

Family TV night always includes House, MD. Luckily with TIVO we can
re-wind whenever someone in the family inevitably blabs commentary out
during the show.
We never had to touch the TIVO while this episode played out. Everyone
kept their pie holes shut and that's saying quiet a lot when you have
teenagers about you.
The quiet held until the very end of the show, and for several minutes
afterward. That just doesn't happen in our boisterous family.
In the silence, my husband and I held each other for a long time. Only
fantastic theater can grab and hold you like that. TV just doesn't get
better.

*** WARNING!!! *** SPOILERS!!! *** ----- this episode of house was
probably one of the best episodes i've seen. seeing house cry, seeing
house unite with others (Wilson) for once, seeing him place his life on
the line for his friend. watching the team scurry. it was almost as if
the characters were right in front of me, in real life, looking
desperately for an answer. i have never been so in awe and so depressed
on any episode of house. this was so sad yet so rich and full of
amazing feelings! it nearly brought my husband to tears as well! i
think for me the two touching scenes for me were when house realized
that there was nothing they could do to save amber due to the medicine
overdose she didn't know she had. that part, seeing house cry, seeing
Wilson's heart wrench, and then house seizing! wow. and the other scene
is probably the obvious, "last feeling/goodbye" scene between amber and
Wilson. you feel so bad for Wilson because he's finally truly happy in
a relationship and as much as i thought amber was annoying, i thought
she was good for him. and then to see him have to turn the machines off
holding the one he loves, ack! so heart wrenching. it made me want to
hold onto my husband forever! what a great episode!

I have always enjoyed this show. I just started watching it again from
the beginning and I have to say, this is THE most heartfelt episode in
the series. I've never felt more for the characters. It's always
refreshing when House stops acting like a self-centered child (which is
always VERY entertaining) and becomes human for just a moment. I can't
tell you how sorry I feel for House, given the circumstances. It hurts
to see that Amber went to do him a favor and ended up paying for it
with her life. But, how much blame can you put on House? Anyways, I
really enjoyed this episode and cried all the way through the last 5
minutes.
I hope this show goes on for many years to come!

I my self must say that this ending has really taken its place in my
heart. Though sad for what happens as I did hope for a better outcome
for certain individuals.
**SPOILERS below!!!** Not sure if I've ever cried so much in a series
before... Specally not for Amber thats been a real b****. Guess I felt
for both Wilson and Amber. Really! Wonder where everyone will pick up
in S.5? Wonder if House will blame himself and go even further to close
people out, will House ever forgive himself as it seams that he blames
himself for what happened. Will Wilson ever be fine again, will he
forgive House? As it looked right at the ending when he stands looking
over House... That he blames Gregory for Ambers death. Questions and
even more questions.

This episode leaves you speechless. Everything in it was great. I would
never expected such an excellent piece of work when I started watching
the episode.
The character of Wilson has never been so deep like in this finale. His
desperation from the beginning to the end...it was such realistic. It
makes you cry.
Amber, that character that everyone hated when the season began, now
she moves you. Her final minutes with Wilson are terrific.
I think the scene that touch me the most was when Cuddy enters Wilson's
office, and tells him to wake Amber up for a last moment with her.
"Wake her up to tell her that...", Wilson says, and he breaks down in
tears.
And you have never seen House such emotional. But he's not the leading
character. Not this time. Wilson and Amber took his place. And they
took our hearts.

SPOILER FROM THE START.
No cynicism. No plays. Not being impersonal. Not in this episode. No
place to rude behavior. It's personal. Heck, it can't be more personal.
It doesn't care you have a very severe skull fracture. It doesn't care
you have had a cardiac arrest because a drug overdose. Oh, well, we
recover you for a moment and get a memorable oniric scene with Cuddy!
You volunteer for direct brain stimulation. You repeat not once but
twice and three times the overdoses. Your ear bleeds because the skull
fracture extends, and you ignore it, so you go to take a bath to
concentrate. You get personal and ignore medical evidences. Nothing is
enough to help you friend. Guilt? Responsibility? Friendship? I'm sure
the later.
And when all is lost, YOU CRY. YOU. And finally you collapse. What a
finale. No solution for the case, no solution FOR YOU.
And finally we have your confession: you don't want to feel pain, you
don't want to feel excluded, you don't want to feel guilty against
Wilson... You want to be dead. Or have your brain turned off.
But you want to be alive more than to be dead, so you step off the bus.
And can you find anything harder than explaining your loving one her
symptoms and knowing she will understand she will die in minutes?
And please, remember Thirteen's Huntintong's diagnose is MORTAL in the
long term.

first time in my life i have ever cried about a movie or series ever!
this was THE most moving episode of House ever. i really feel sorry for
Wilson, but also for House because indirectly, Amber's accident is
partly his fault.. and this will change House' relationship with
Wilson. also, in the last minutes of this episode Wilson finds a note
from Amber saying she's sorry she's not there... it must've been
Horrible (with a capital H) to be reminded of her accident that way :((
anyway, House is the best series i've ever seen and i recommend it to
everyone! usually i'm very critical at rating something, but this
episode has fully earned my 10 out of 10 rating.

I was crying long after this episode ended. ME! I never cry; my friends
call me the "ice queen." I just couldn't stop thinking about it. The
last scene with Wilson and Amber...then the note when he gets
home...ugh! Later, when my boyfriend got home, I was trying to describe
it to him, and I couldn't even talk because I just kept crying...I kept
trying to tell him, "I kept thinking, 'What if that was me and you..'"
Ack, I'm getting teary just thinking about it now! And, oh, Dr.
House....if you need any consolation...;')...giggle...all in all, it's
not very often I'm glued to the set. Excellent performances by all.
Can't wait for next season!

I'm normally fairly critical of TV shows, and I think that's why the
only one I currently watch is House. I have purchased all 3 seasons so
far, and intend to purchase the 4th when it comes-out on DVD: the show
is that good. The actors are all so excellent, and the parts they play
are done so well - it's all I need to get my entertainment fix for the
week. So, for those who haven't decided to watch, I would highly
recommend a try. Watching "Three Stories" is a good place to start, if
you would like to know more about House.
This episode really got to me; I especially loved how they matched the
music to the situations. Although that's common enough in shows, this
was what really made it for me. Actually, I've watched the last two
episodes several times now (using Amazon Unbox), and the music just
sticks in my mind after wards. Everything is tempered so well together,
and the only "bad" thing I would say is the sexual part. I could have
done without that, but that's just my own moral beliefs talking, and
that's what the show is all about in a sense, right? So, I suppose it
wouldn't be house if *absolutely* everything was easily digested.
For those who are on the side of "fetus" rather than "baby" - the
"Fetal Position" (Season 3) is an interesting dialogue to have; the
show has a heart-stopping moment, where the baby actually grabs House's
finger as they are operating on it (in the womb). It's one for the
books, as he calls it a "fetus" before, and a "baby" afterward.
Something to consider for those who are still undecided on that front.
Thanks for letting me share, and here's to all those to constantly
leave us questioning who we are and where we stand on what matters in
this life.
