Last night's House finale, mindf*ck that it tried to be, just seemed like we'd ventured into familiar territory. To discover that House and Cuddy hadn't slept together at all, that he had hallucinated the whole thing and was, in fact, still taking Vicodin - sure, I went "whooooa," but I said it in a "I can't believe they're doing this again!" kind of way. "No Reason," the second season finale, already had House hallucinating the goings on, and last year's two-part finale had House trying to interpret his own visions. It's just not impressive the third time around, especially since we've all seen The Sixth Sense.

That being said, Hugh Laurie hit that last scene out of the park. The moment House realized that he was very sick and very possibly losing his mind, Laurie perfectly showed the fear and uncertainty and pain - it's rare to really see House drop down all of his defenses, even when he's truly shaken. The look on Laurie's face made it clear just how scared House really is.

Of course, since this is House, he'll probably be fully cured by the second episode of next season. House nearly rivals Heroes in the "nothing really has consequences!" category.

On another note, I can't believe the writers made Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer act out a wedding scene. Those poor guys are total pros. That must have been the most awkward scene to film ever.

What did you guys think of the finale?
