You've read my mind about my feelings on season 5. What you said is exactly how I feel.

I think you should post this to House_Wilson because your analysis is spot on.

The Itch is not worth watching except for the scene with House going over to Wilson's apartment at night and Wilson touching House more than he usually does. I don't remember much about Painless except that it was boring (was that the one where House has plumbing problems?)

I like 13, but I was also disturbed by the implication that 13 only has sex with women to control them rather than actually liking/being in love with them. I was hoping that 13 would call that chick in episode 5. They could have worked out.

I loved Olivia's acting in Simple Explanation (the scene in your cap) and Taub's reaction at the end.

The House/Cuddy relationship in season 5 shows us, as you previously said, that "Abuse is Sexy." I believe Shore has a really distorted concept of what a loving relationship actually is.

And I can only hope Season 6 will keep to what the end montage showed

Me too.

That last scene in season 5 showed us that House and Wilson mean everything to each other. They truly belong together. They are lost without each other.

I would like to see your analysis of the other seasons of House. And you can count me as one of the few that actually liked season 4 except for the Cuddy stripping scene. I know a lot of people like that scene, but I thought it was irrelevant to the plot (but I admit it does prove that puzzles or medical mysteries are more important to House than Cuddy).
