Loved the Ending

When I heard that House was going to end, I was told that he would wind up in prison, so really did not want to watch it. Then after the summary, I saw that he was in a burning building and then thought he would die heroically. Was I ever surprised that he and Wilson went out on a motorcycle ride together. It was so exciting and a good ending to the show. I am now considering buying the dvds for the show. So were you as surprised as I was at the ending?
