I think sandcrab277 needs to remember this was / is a TV show and it's entertainment, not real.
As far as the episode goes, the wheel chair was included for some edgy type jokes (like the dwarf in episode 8 or whatever) It's pretty much a formulaic House episode, not bad, not great, but still entertaining. So yeah, that's about it.

I don't know if anyone really reads my reviews so I include a 'disclaimer' of sorts at first. Really, I rate on a fair scale. 5 is average (as in was ok but nothing special), I very rarely give out 1's or 10's because very few movies are perfect or complete crap.
TLDR: Overall this is a really good movie that I'm surprised came from Netflix Studios and wasn't released in theaters. It's a slow moving suspenseful movie with amazing acting and a good plot, and the ending is kind of a let down, but also fits into the entire narrative of the movie. Almost rated this an 8, but point deducted for some problems with the pacing and the ending. 100% worth watching though!
So anyway, it seems like most of the reviews here are divided into three categories. Those that 1star said "Ending sucked" or "No Plot",those that give it 10 stars and call it a masterpiece without really explaining anything. or those like me, that give it a fair and unbiased review. So here we go. 7 stars because this is an above average movie that almost made me want to give it 8, but just missed.
Acting - Just amazing. Really don't need to say more than that.
Plot - The plot is rough at some points and the ending is kind of a "um what?" moment, but overall the acting makes the plot / script work in a way that at least makes it enjoyable.
Directing / Camera work / cinematography / music- Again, all are just amazing. It actually shocked me that this was a Netflix film and not released in theaters. Simply beautifuly shot and it's amazing what the director got out of the actors
Pacing (just including this since a lot of people complain about it). The movie is a slow burn for sure, the pacing IS a little scattered but overall, the flashbacks are well placed and in general, it's not great but it fits the theme of the movie.

I have found parallels with the MI movies and the Fast and the Furious series. Each one continues to improve on the original (with a few duds, actualy they kind of match up in both series with the second movie being the worst).
Yet, like Fast and Furious, Mission Impossible keeps on going with better story lines, new and lovable characters, bigger stunts (especially in this movie, Tom Cruise is a mad man for doing some of the things he does in this and i guess not really a spoiler alert that Tom Cruise does almost all of his own stunts).
Really there's not much else to say that this is close to Ghost Protocol on quality and storyline, except with bigger stunts and the newer members of the crew shining (Pegg steals a lot of scenes in this one as he tends to do), with also the old ones still doing their bit supporting parts yet still adding real depth to what should be really just an average action film at this point in the series... It is basically like I said, continuing the 'switch' that happend on MI3 and just every episode is borderline like the original TV show... just keeps on getting better and bigger and such a fantastic movie all around, not just for an "action movie"
Simply Put. I was tempted to give this an 8 but read dislaimer if you want on how i review. This movie again is kind of mirroring the Fast and the Furious. Each one somehow keeps improving the series (except tokyo drift in FF which actually brought us some cool characters for the later ones, or MI 2 which jesus...what a sloppy mess that was of John Woo's SLOW MO PEOPLE USING DOUBLE GUNS WHILE POPPING WHEELIES IN A MOTORCYCLE FIGHT GUNKATA STYLE???). In other words, if you are a fan of either either FF or MI series, (or an action film fan in general), this is a fantastic movie with a few sloppy moments, some script problems (nothing distracting), some plot holes that well, after 6 movies they kind of happen, but ultimatley, this is a must watch summer blockbuster.
Disclaimer : People complain about my ratings... I tend to rate on a REAL scale. I mean 0 means the movie should not even exist and 10 means it's just something you must see because it's something MORE than just a movie. For me, a 5 means it was an average movie, worth seeing but nothing special, you will enjoy it or not. A 6 is "above average for the genre". So, a 7, especially for an action film, means that this is FAR ABOVE average for its genre, scenes, plot, acting, characters etc. Honestly, I'm tempted to give Fallout an 8 and i wish that IMDB allowed like 7.5 or 7.6 but well, they don't. So yeah, my 7 will make this balance out to this movie eventually being rated around a 7.6 which is exactly where it should be.
No 8 because it's not QUITE there due to some predicitability based on the series, some sloppy writing at times, and some plot holes that, which aren't distracting and kind of start to develop when ANY series reaches 6+ films, it's just not quite an 8.... But it sure is close. Sure, I could rate every movie a 0 or 10 like everyone else does but um, that's not honest or possible. EVERY movie can't be 'perfect' or a total failure. Wish more people thought that way during their reviews, however us that review often get counted more strongly than the people who just post "10 its awesome !!!!!" or "WISH I COULD GIV THIS ZERO STARS IT SUCKS" idiotic spam basically.
