MORE SPOILERS!!!! <3

Finished the season! CRAZINESS! I absolutely LOVE what they're doing! The beginning of the season was slightly boring -- it became obvious at some point that they were setting up his "checked-out" kind of mental status, but I think where they've gone with this is a lot more exciting and interesting than some of the other plot lines they've done recently.

I hate that House is "losing his mind", but the potential for disaster -- i.e., House completely losing it -- will make his regaining himself that much better. I mean, let's face it -- we all know that there will be a season 6, so it's not like we're really worried that he won't get better.

I don't want House to change. Well, not much, anyway. I don't want him to be nicer; I don't want him to lose his sarcasm and cynicism and his not-so-occasional immorality. Because then he wouldn't be the House I know and love.

In fact, if those are the things that would change, I'd rather see him lose his mind. The hallucinations with Amber were AWESOME. SO CREEPY AND EVER-SO-SLIGHTLY EVIL. I mean, attempting to kill Chase with the strawberry allergy?! I LOVED IT.

Truthfully, I'd rather see House die than become "normal".

As to the whole House/Cuddy thing -- I think that was awesome. I'm NOT a big House/Cuddy fan. Really, I don't like them together. But I was excited to see House in a relationship. It's not like we'd ever see House and Wilson in anything other than a "bromance" and I don't really think I'd WANT to (I HATE that term with a passion, btw); I've always HATED Cameron -- and never really liked Thirteen that much, either. I LOVED House with Stacy, but that opportunity passed long ago. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED WHEN THEY PUT WILSON AND AMBER CTB TOGETHER BECAUSE I SERIOUSLY WANTED HOUSE/CTB ACTION! The ONLY woman I liked (aside from Stacy) was CTB and look what happened to that!

I LOVE that they brought Anne Dudek back (again!) and put CTB in that role. Obviously, the writers love CTB as much as I do. I will continue to tell myself that the reason they didn't pick CTB to stay back in season 4 was because they knew they'd have to have her and House get into a relationship and that might screw things up. Yep, I know I'm right. =D

Please, tell me YOUR thoughts on this whole thing -- even if you radically disagree with me. I'm very curious as to how other fans are feeling "divisive" over this!

Also, did I miss commenting on anything particularly juicy?
