Best ending EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! This and Birthmarks are my favourite eps now.

[cb-eaglemaniac.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD.

I'm speechless.

That episode made me the happiest of the happy. xD
It was like watching season 2 House/Wilson all over again! *LOVES*

[peculiar-writer.livejournal.com]

This was a great episode! Yay for the slashiness! It started out being kind of sweet, then it got scary, then they were okay again in the end! They were leaving together! To go have sex! Yay!!!

And can we say House/Wilson/DANNY???? I know you can!!!!

God, that ending scene was perfect^_^

[thelonegunwoman.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, the Bromance is alive and kickin'! :D

[photoash.livejournal.com]

Wow that was so much better than I thought it might be!! :D Finally we see some strengthening of the House/Wilson bond!!!

*blub*

I'm so iffy on this season, but this episode just made it slightly more likely that I'll buy the DVD.

I'll refrain from House/Cuddy bashing (hey, their scene was actually funny/cute today!), but...seriously. That pairing has nothing on House and Wilson's relationship and love for each other. Really. This episode proves it.

SQUEEs for Monster trucks!

Fantastic episode! How about that, Fourteen wasn't shoved in our faces, a really interesting patient of the week, and it was really good. See this formula, writers? Follow it!

I want more LLB, and patients like this. This is my show! It's back!

Finally, an episode with lots of squee-worthy H/W, an interesting patient, and minimal Thirteen screentime! Ama-za-zing!

And...was I the only one who thought House was about to kiss Wilson in the elevator at the end?

[blackpearl-phan.livejournal.com]

That's why I ship House/Wilson: After all the shit they have been through, they still are BFFs/lovers(?)

[specialsmiley.livejournal.com]

So fantastic! Really one of the best episodes this year or any year.
I loved every minute of H/W! :}

The rest who cares.

unknownsoul you are going to have your work cut out for you.

EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC
WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN
Those House-and-Wilson scenes rival Son of a Coma Guy, I think. AMAZING.

[vladimirachan.livejournal.com]

Aagh, I loved it! One of the best episodes. I loved their discussion on the 'social contract'. It's exactly why they gravitate towards each other.

And, as if that wasn't good enough, there was a serious lack of Cuddy and Thirteen.

Also, the Taubner was adorable <3 Taub was the best in this episode.

Some days I wonder if Shore is denying us Hilson sex to piss us off, and he's secretly writing porn of it in a basement somewhere.

I am totally speechless, I don't even know what to say. This episode was not what I expected at all, I guess it was less angsty than I thought it would be. But still OMG, like it was a totally different show after all the 14 and Huddy garbage.

I am still convinced there will be a whole lot more going on with Wilson, at least I hope so.

Now I have to watch this again. But still definitley the best since Birthmarks, maybe even better.

[specialsmiley.livejournal.com]

Absolutely.

*SQUEE!!*

[peculiar-writer.livejournal.com]

Taub's racquetball scene was an Emmy winning performance!

[vladimirachan.livejournal.com]

Which is why we love them XD

[ranrata.livejournal.com]

Some days I wonder if Shore is denying us Hilson sex to piss us off, and he's secretly writing porn of it in a basement somewhere.

I often wonder this, too.

[vladimirachan.livejournal.com]

It really was. And how hurt he was about his nose. (I think it's sexy, Taub!)

[leakey-lover.livejournal.com]

House is baaaaack!

Yay!

[indigo-scimitar.livejournal.com]

*thinks about it a minute*

Yeah, I can see Shore doing that. He loves it; he just won't let on.

[ranrata.livejournal.com]

Commitment, commitment, commitment! =)

[peculiar-writer.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, House/Cuddy just doesn't have that kind of staying power. But obviously, no matter what happens with House and Wilson, at the end of the day, they're going to end up in bed together.

[theunknownsoul.livejournal.com]

PERFECT

I LOVED IT. SO MUCH.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE DANNY.
