Robert Sean Leonard by Adam Taylor/Fox

Cheers to Robert Sean Leonard for bringing down the House. He's been doing skillful, subtle work for two decades — I always thought he should've gotten a huge movie career out of Dead Poets Society — but Leonard has never been better than in the aftermath of Amber's death. As Wilson has finally stood up to his abusive mentor ("We're not friends anymore, House. I'm not sure we ever were"), Leonard has more than held his own opposite the formidable Hugh Laurie. So where's his Emmy nomination?Related:• VIDEO: Robert Sean Leonard sizes discusses the Wilson-House friction• Share your own raves and rants about other shows on the Reader Cheers & Jeers discussion board.• We may feature your Cheer or Jeer on TVGuide.com or in TV Guide magazine! read more

Robert Sean Leonard in House by Greg Gayne/Fox

As the season rushes to a close, so do the fates of many characters in one wrenching season finale after another. This is the time of year when terrible things tend to happen to terrific characters, and that was certainly the case on Fox’s Monday night shows.Starting with the best: House. Kristi Yamaguchi wasn’t the only one clocking a perfect score last night—yes, I played back Dancing With the Stars to come down off my emotional House high. House scored a “10!” (mimic Bruno’s fist pump) with this gripping two-part finale, which shockingly and movingly pulled the plug on the character of Amber, whom we will no longer refer to as Cutthroat You-Know-What. She stole Wilson’s heart, and ultimately ours, and Anne Dudek was magnificent throughout. When it was made clear that nothing could save her from the multiple traumas triggered by that bus crash that fractured House’s memories, painful goodbyes were in order for a truly memorable character.

"Ugly"

House showed his typical sympathetic bed-side manner with POTW Kenny. Khleo Thomas and Hugh Laurie by Greg Gayne/Fox

How does being beautiful — or deformed — make others treat you differently? That was the central theme in tonight's episode, and it brought out some unexpected twists and revealing moments for House, as well as the POTW.Kenny is on his way to Princeton-Plainsboro for surgery to correct the major congenital facial deformity that keeps him from being "just another face in the crowd." The catch is that the entire experience is being filmed (and bank-rolled) by a documentary crew. Everything's set to go in the OR and Chase is about to perform the surgery when the kid has a heart attack, followed by a host of other symptoms that seem to jeopardize his facial surgery.Meanwhile, Dr. Terzi (Michael Michele) has shown up for "class" with the rest of the Wannabes, who immediately start trying to figure out whether she's guaranteed one of their coveted spots. House, who clearly has the hots for her, can't stand the fact that he's sort of hired her, and has a little heart to heart wit... read more

The House Wimp: Why Robert Sean Leonard Loves His Job

Robert Sean Leonard, House

TV Guide spoke with House's friend and tormentor on sparring with Hugh Laurie, making Wilson more prickly and vegging out with Dog Whisperer. (House airs Tuesdays at 9 pm/ET on Fox.) TV Guide: It seems your character, Dr. Wilson, is finally giving it to House as good as he gets. But why is he friends with such a curmudgeon? Robert Sean Leonard: House is brilliant, self-deprecating and witty. What's not to like? OK, he mistreats people — but in a really amusing way. Almost every­thing the guy does is for some purpose. And Wilson's a lot more secure in his friendship with House now. I think that has changed, as Hugh and I have changed on the show, too. TV Guide: Your real-life relationship has changed? Leonard: Sure. W read more

It wasn't the most exciting finale I've ever seen. It was subtle yet managed to surprise with a twist: House was left with no ducklings on his payroll. But even that move raised only my eyebrow and not my heart rate — as, say, last season's finale did.First of all, House fired Chase. Just when I started to like him. I blame Wilson. He's always buzzing in House's ear about this or that. Now it's about House and his fear of change. Next thing you know Chase has no job. Nice work, James. Then there was Marina (Mercedes Renard) and her mysterious illness. Roiling seas aside, Esteban (Omar Avila)and Marina's desperate voyage from Cuba to New Jersey for treatment at the hands of Princeton-Plainsboro's foremost diagnostician resulted in a case that flatlined pretty quickly. After all the focus on losing Marina's medical records at sea, this didn't have an impact on her treatment. Then Esteban, the husband shown to be extremely concerned about the love of his life, would only raise a l... read more

Just ask him to stay already! Am I the only one who wanted to reach through the screen and scream this at House? Foreman wants to stay, House wants him to stay, but they are both too stubborn to make that happen without the other asking for that privilege. Men. The funny thing is, Foreman is leaving because he doesn't want to turn into House, yet here he is acting just like the man. Methinks it's time for a little self-reflection, Eric.How funny was this week's patient? Nate, played with finesse by Nick Lane was an obnoxious teenager suffering, it turns out, from hemachromatosis — too much iron in his blood — which had him in excruciating pain. Much to his beleaguered mother's (Colleen Flynn) dismay, Nate's personality problems were not a side effect of his illness. Nate's prickly style had Chase declaring him evil and Foreman sedating him purely to shut him up. Is it any wonder that House liked him? In the midst of figuring out Nate's problem, Foreman tried to solve a li... read more
