Dancing Around the Four Sides

Well, House would always go for the word with the most shock value.

Gotta say, Hugh Laurie plays "blitzed halfway to Jupiter" amazingly well. I've got a mixed reaction to that ending as well. I mean ... on the one hand we see House trying really hard to choose happiness for himself, but on the other, he's drunk off his ass when he's trying, and we've seen that his tendency to self-destruct and see his own happiness as detrimental to other people and to his skills. And those beliefs are going to screw him up, I think.
