TV Review: "Dying Changes Everything" on House M.D.'s Season Five Premiere - Page 4

"Dying Changes Everything" picks up beautifully where "Wilson’s Heart" left off, wisely focusing on the state of House’s heart. In Hugh Laurie’s capable hands, we never doubt that House has one, and the fascination of trying to figure out this complicated man is as potent as ever.

    I thought that ending scene with Wilson and House involved some powerful acting. The looks on both Wilson and House's faces were simply heartbreaking, and you could see both sides of their arguments. As you said, Leonard and Laurie just work perfectly together. Those two really make "House" the quality show that it is.

    I agree with the previous poster, Robert Sean Leonard and Hugh Laurie are a powerful acting pair. I never ever tire of watching them together. I absolutely loved the closing scene. RSL and HL just totally nailed it on so many levels. I need House and Wilson for House the show to work for me. So I hope the break-up doesn't last too long.

    I am so looking forward to their make-up scene cause they totally nailed the break-up scene.

    Thank you both for your comments. Yes, I think that Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard work beautifully off each other, both in the comic scenes and in the dramatic. And the break up scene was very moving on both their parts. I think Wilson was viewing their relationship through his pain, much as 13 was viewing her patient through her's, and there's more to be said on what he's gotten from the friendship. But Robert Sean Leonard was fantastic in showing the raw pain Wilson feels. And watching House take the risk we know he fears and open up to Wilson, hope for a moment that they could be alright, and then have his emotions rejected more thoroughly than even he feared: a punch in the gut. It will be an interesting ride watching these two try to find common ground to rebuild.
