I've said it in the episode threads, but I should add it here. For the first time since Season 2, I actually like Foreman (and, for the first time since Season 3, I actually don't hate him.) Minor quibble -- I wish the writers would decide whether Foreman likes Chase or not (let alone considers them friends.)

Taking my reply to the Foreman thread because it isn't satisfaction-based.

*waves to LMC* It’s been a long time, sweetie! Actually I wasn’t even lurking, I just gave up the show completely. Fandom, fanfic, everything. I’m bad at bitterness, and around middle S6 I realized I had nothing good to say about the show, so I just forgot it . I’m a firm believer that if you don’t have something good to say, better to keep quiet. As far as I'm concerned there was no season 7 I’m totally with you here, because for me there was really no season 7, literally. I only know what happened at the end of S7 because House did a fast recap in 20 Vicodin. And for me that was more than enough! Also agree this is quite likely the last season, which makes me hope for something good if they could refrain themselves about big, shocking, outrageous events. Less is always, always better in a show like House – and yes, I know some times – or a lot of times - we have to overlook certain implausibilities, but I can live with that to a certain extent... Thank you Idon for your mini-recap about the next episodes. I’m very glad that Chase will come back, I love him and now I’m also hopeful he will have a little more quality time in the show. I’m not crazy about Taub, but I used to find him funny, I actually never reached the point to know about his personal life, but I guess I can handle him in small doses. I also need to apologize to the mods because I came back without following the rules, I didn’t read the last pages of any thread, and to be honest I don’t think I will. To my dismay the threads I used to follow seem abandoned and some of them – Wilson’s thread, gasp! – are on page 2! Not to mention I was a little surprised I still could log in! I wasn’t disabled after so long! Another reason for satisfaction!

We don't disable people for not posting. If you change the e-mail address in your profile, I'll need to reactivate you. I think all of the characters get discussed more in the episode threads than they do in the threads devoted to their characters. Those tend to get used only when the discussion spans several episodes or seasons. (The actors' threads do get used a fair amount.) And it gives me great satisfaction that so many people seem to be re-discovering my favorite show of all time.

I has been a while Lully. :) I'm happy you're back. I haven't posted anything about House anywhere since season 6. I have lurked though, I admit it. Hope springs eternal. I kept reading episode posts, hoping to see that it had gotten better. And it has. It took a whole season, but it finally got better. I think I've actually stayed logged in this whole time lol.

House is, indeed, my favorite show of all time too, Poeia. But sometimes you need a break to put the good things ahead of the bad things and be able to forgive some mistakes… Or maybe I’m just an awful fan, who couldn’t endure the bad times – there’s a reason that my personal life is not working so well, too. Anyway, I really hope to be back for good. :)

This seems the best place to say how thankful I am for the 7-plus years of House and the people on this forum. The total House experience and the resulting introduction to the genius that is Hugh Laurie have been totally unexpected gifts that came out of the blue and have added much enjoyment to my life. No matter what the future holds, there will always be House and Hugh DVDs and whatever new treasures Hugh gives to the world.

I'm not sure if people still frequent this thread. However, now that it's confirmed that this is House's last season, I think we should light up this thread with praise and thanks to all the wonderful things House brought to the world. As I said on Twitter, it's sad that the show must end but I am so grateful to all the people involved in this show. Through the good and bad times we all pulled through. I would also like to thank TPTB for introducing me to all the amazing people in the fanbase. If it weren't for House I would have never formed a bond with all my friends. Even still, the show will go on in the way of fanfics and fan art. I might actually start up a fanfic of my own! So here's to the series!

What an impact this television show and its characters and stories have had. From the show itself and the joy of having Hugh Laurie on my screen each week (which I already miss even though they have 11 more shows) to the joys and traumas and passions of expressing views online. I mean, how passionate is this fandom that when, after posting to A Certain Forum for years, when dissatisfied, people started a brand new forum just to keep the discussions alive! How compelling and loved is a show that is so deeply moving that it's still hard to believe those characters are fictional? It's been a helluva ride and I'm amazed how heavy my heart is now that the end is in sight. Agree or disagree, I love all you House peeps and am grateful indeed to TPTB, the amazing cast and crew and us, the audience, everyone who kept House alive and vital for so long. I never thought it would last anywhere near eight seasons, because it was just too good. So I'll raise a virtual (and rather early) glass to G. House and co. Cheers, one and all!

Time to give thanks. First to Nikita for being such a crappy mod that we all left. Second to the people who decided to create HHoW. Shortly after it started, I got recruited to moderate the games in the Cafeteria. Third to my fellow mods arizonamyrie, extra_cat, ffaw, galaxygirl, Hail the Random, radiosweetheart and sautomne for obvious reasons (and some not-so-obvious ones.) Fourth to all our members who made this a community. I am so glad to know all of you. But most of all, to the denizens of Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital for giving us such a wonderful reason to find each other. Thank you, ouse!

I thought I was well prepared. I've been thinking, when the time comes, I'd come here for the first thing, and thank ouse, and you, HHoW mods and friends, for such a beautiful ride together over the years. But it took me one whole day just to come here and open the threads. Honestly, I'm still felling terriblly sad and upset...but this is the satisfaction thread, and I didn't come here to being sissy. :) So, thank you ouse, thank you HHow, thank you mods and fellow posters for this wonderful experience! When we'll be watcing finally S7 and S8 in Japan, probably this summer, and next summer, I know I'll come back here every week, to re-read the episode threads for questions and for your insights. So, if possible, please, don't close the site, HHoW mods! ;) I'm so proud this is the first fandom I found in Internet, luckily by chance, and the first forum I've ever posted, not often, but now and then for 3 years. Now I can't wait to see the beautiful ending to the show I've been obsessed for 6 years. It is still exciting. :)
