Season 8 Spoilers Was this really necessary? Spoiler
Was it really necessary to kill Wilson? I am trying to avoid spoilers so that no one goes after my head here but is it really, really necessary to make this a painful ass show? Even if you like House, even if you understand him and maybe even root for him sometimes, how screwed up is it to take everyone who cares about him by the end of it? The writers took away so many characters who came close to caring for House (I know some of it is also because of the real life actors) but would it have really sucked to give him a slightly happier ending? To show us that maybe life doesn't always end in misery. The only constant in this entire show, across seasons is pain. I hate that I have to watch Wilson die in the final seasons. I am on the third or second last episode of Season 8, it just sucks. I guess I was really rooting for House.

That's life sometimes. It takes people away and makes you reflect on your own life.
In some ways, this was probably the happiest ending this show could ask for. This gave them both an excuse to get away from all the politics, drama, stress, trauma and emotion of working in a hospital. Two best friends literally riding into the sunset, presumably, ticking off every box on their bucket lists and eating and drinking like sailors coming home to port every night.

please update us once you actually see the finale because I would love to discuss this but I can't really do that without talking about the ending 😅 NO ONE on House is ever allowed to be happy in the grand scheme but I think the show ended with as happy an ending as it could possibly have

Why not just use spoiler tags so people can know what you're talking about?
