Both Sides Now

One of my absolute favourite episodes from house. Epic just epic!

In an episode that starts like any other, we are taken to follow the characters and their usual stories, but gradually, we sense that there's something different as some scene intervals leave us with an intriguing feeling. The plot seems to flirt with the idea that something extraordinary is about to happen, but we are still unsure of what exactly.

As the story unfolds, carefully hidden details begin to emerge, revealing a much deeper and intricate plot than we could have ever imagined. Our theories are constantly challenged, and each new development leads us to reevaluate what we thought we knew.

The episode concludes with a memorable scene that leaves us in awe, etched in our minds, and even after the final credits, we can't seem to shake it off.

This was the best house episode since the beginning of the show. For the first 30 minutes or so, you could tell that this was just one ordinary episode, with ordinary stuff(-interesting case-diagnosis-some emotional things about the characters-), but the last 10 minutes were absolutely fascinating. In my opinion, if you like even a little this TV show, you mustn't miss this episode... And concerning the ending, I won't give anything away, but i would only say one thing: at the final credits I found myself crying. I'm really wondering if there is a season 6 and how it will be like, because with this ending, there are many possibilities but none fit perfectly. This is the first end of season that made me looking forward like this for the next season, to see what happens next.

Well just how much can I say without the risk of giving anything away? This was just the most unexpected ending done so remarkably well but at the same time it was totally understandable that it deserves an award of some kind both for the acting and writing.

I have no idea how they can, but am sure there will be a sixth series by the end of the year. Without giving too much away I hope they do not take a 'Dallas' way out of a problem that now exists. The silly thing is though that they have almost used this theme exactly the same way before!

Enough said except to say that the whole House M.D thing is just too good to be just an American TV series!

Without giving any of the plot away, this episode was masterfully crafted. It leads you along and suddenly kicks you in the teeth. But everything makes perfect sense, and as the last minutes go by, it gives you just enough time to process what has happened and realize that there were no flaws. The timing of this storyline, how it was constructed and presented in a way that makes perfect sense and simultaneously comes as a shock, how it ties the themes of the season and the very series together, and of course the pure emotional impact of Laurie's acting... I rarely feel tricked by television, and almost never does it rip my guts out like this episode did. Brilliant stuff, absolutely fantastic acting and writing. I'm glad I stuck with House this long. Any series that goes on for this long has filler and bad plots, but when you get episodes like this, it's worth it.
