    Absolute poop!

    What a load of pretentious pointless nonsense!

    This episode was so bad it genuinely made me angry I'd wasted an hour watching it.

    bad

    This is so far the only episode of this show which I have *actively* disliked, and boy did I not like it. Poor execution of a trope that's already been done to death motivated purely by shock factor completely unravelling two entire seasons of character growth. I definitely agree with the other reviewer who said that "you could watch the first five and last ten minutes of this episode and lose nothing" (paraphrased). Really, really hope that season three undoes the damage that this show did to the show and my opinion of it. I genuinely don't think there's any reason for you to watch this episode, or for that matter any of this season after Euphoria part 2.

    Good but could be better

    Not a bad episode, but ends up being pointless. You could literally watch the first 5 minutes of the episode and last 10 and you got all you need from this episode.

    Brilliant episode

    Enjoyed every second of it. Best written episode so far. Every dialogue is perfect.

    • Trivia
      According to his wristband, the first three digits of House's social security number indicate that he applied for it in Ohio (where he is presumably from). The wristband also shows his date of birth as June 11, 1959 - Hugh Laurie's actual birth date.
    • Goofs
      When House is using the robot arm to cut Cameron's shirt button off, there are obviously no threads holding the button on the shirt before the knife cuts it off. The robot arm knife just moves a loose button.
    • Quotes

      Jack Moriarty: You think that the only truth that matters is the truth that can be measured. Good intentions don't count. What's in your heart doesn't count. Caring doesn't count. But a man's life can't be measured by how many tears are shed when he dies. Just because you can't measure them, just because you don't want to measure them, doesn't mean it's not real. And even if I'm wrong, you're still miserable. Did you really think that your life's purpose was to sacrifice yourself and get nothing in return? No. You believe there's no purpose.
