    The best House episode yet!

    So i was thinking how can they do it and pull it off with glorious fashion with us wanting to see the 5th season.

    (Believe me i really can't wait to see season 5)

    They pulled it off. Not only just this episode but they keep you guessing ...and they left more for you to figure out in the next episode! That makes it just awesome.

    I talked with a lot of my friends that love House and they just put it in one word "Wow." I would have to agree.

    I can't wait for the grand finale. I Hope you enjoy this one as much as i did.

    Suggest, don't tell

    The power of suspense lies in suggestion. People seem to misunderstand House, constantly moralizing in stolid sanctimony. It's a nice TV show! As drama, the collaborative action in the episode unfolds as a stage play. It also shows that each member of the team not only reflect parts of House's personality, but also those he locks away. Excellent tele-drama. Some if the best acting in the series.

    Finest Episode!

    Superbly written. House is epic in this episode. The way it is shot is like a high budget movie.

    Its all inside the head

    They could have easily made this a 1 and half hour movie. House head 1 is excellent. Yes the starting scene would stimulate your brain and heart for sure. But that is not all. You get to know what House is thinking. You really have to watch this closely for clues. It was all there right in the beginning and then in the middle. The last 15 minutes were brilliant. Direction was awesome. Acting was top-notch. It was intense, little funny but more of a thriller story. You will be completely hooked and intrigued by every small detail you see. House series just keeps getting better and better. House is brilliant actor. This TV series is so addictive. One of the best episodes so far. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Don't skip this one at all. Watch it with lot of concentration.

    • Trivia
      This episode's director, Greg Yaitanes, won an Emmy for "Outstanding Directing For A Drama Series." He later became a regular director on the show, and by the end of it, he had directed the most episodes.
    • Goofs
      When House's heart stops, Wilson and Cuddy perform CPR on him, with Cuddy doing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. However, she is doing it incorrectly; she is not pinching his nostrils shut, which is necessary, otherwise the breath of air will escape out of the nose, making mouth-to-mouth ineffective.

      Dr. Gregory House: And if I don't know, you don't... You know the clues.

      Woman in Black: I know what's bugging your subconscious. What's my necklace made of?
