Wow

I've never felt so compelled to write my views on a show in my life I actually had tears come to my eyes I had to laugh it off (at myself) when in reality all that happened was I had an emotional response I've never felt before towards a TV show of fictional characters was because i have never before seen such fantastic writing and character portrayed over 42 minute episode... This episode is absolutely fantastic and absolute MUST WATCH! So many layers and hidden depths in this show I love it!!! I can't get enough of it... But this episode has by far been a stand out for me so far I am truly lost for words at my response to the ending of the series. I'm shocked!

Simply brilliant !

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.

What more does anybody want from a TV series ?

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 !

Trivia
As House is in the bathroom, his bathroom stall has writing that says, "James Wilson is adorable."

Goofs
When Foreman and Taub turn Amber to check the small of her back, Foreman switches from Amber's right side to join Taub on her left side, pushing on her leg to roll her over. For patient safety, either doctor would have grasped at the patient's shoulder and hip, turning Amber toward them (so she doesn't roll off the bed) while the other doctor checks her back.

Quotes
Dr. Gregory House: I could stay here with you.
Dr. Amber Volakis: Get off the bus.
Dr. Gregory House: I can't.
Dr. Amber Volakis: Why not?
Dr. Gregory House: Because... because it doesn't hurt here. Because I... I don't want to be in pain, I don't want to be miserable. And I don't want him to hate me.
Dr. Amber Volakis: Well... you can't always get what you want.
