Wilson's Heart

It still makes me cry, even after 10 years of watching this epsode for the first time. And I am not a cry baby.

I was crying long after this episode ended. ME! I never cry; my friends call me the "ice queen." I just couldn't stop thinking about it. The last scene with Wilson and Amber...then the note when he gets home...ugh! Later, when my boyfriend got home, I was trying to describe it to him, and I couldn't even talk because I just kept crying...I kept trying to tell him, "I kept thinking, 'What if that was me and you..'" Ack, I'm getting teary just thinking about it now! And, oh, Dr. House....if you need any consolation...;')...giggle...all in all, it's not very often I'm glued to the set. Excellent performances by all. Can't wait for next season!

I tried finding something wrong with this episode. I could have, but I wouldn't have been objective. It was extremely moving. Wilson's Heart is simply touching, and probably the best House episode, if not the best TV series episode ever. It is puzzling, mysterious, romantic, realistic, tough. It doesn't let you pause and guarantees a tearful hour. Could not ask for better acting, and in no other episode has Wilson been the most important character, showing a very sensitive and touching side of him. You have to appreciate a character like Wilson, being invented almost opposite to House, however being able to face him. This series reflects perfectly the most important side of both House and Wilson's characteristics: House's Head, Wilson's Heart. Simply wonderful !

Incredible. "House's Head" (the episode prior to this one) was the buildup, establishing a surreal, emotional approach never before seen on "House." THIS is the payoff. Save for some episodes of "The Shield", I have never witnessed a more deeply felt and powerful episode on television EVER. It will take a whole lot of effort for the writers to top themselves on this one. "Wilson's Heart" could have easily become sentimental and clichéd, but it looks too deep and sees too much honest pain. We are finally able to see that House is not a monster, that his misery extends far past his leg injury. We can finally look into his soul and see a resonating sadness and loneliness surrounded by a lifetime of pain. This is a masterpiece.

This episode, and the previous one, are two of the best pieces of television ever made. They are tense and dramatic, poignant and oh so sad. I defy anyone not to be moved by the final scenes.

All of the performances are exceptional, the script and direction superb. We see a different side of House as he struggles to find the answer and, for once, shows genuine concern for another human being, or is he really more worried about what the outcome will mean for himself ?

It doesn't matter. These 2 episodes are simply brilliant.
