Let me start off by saying that this article may offend some thin-skinned people, for which I apologize, but I must get this out of my system – hence the following rant.
I have several friends who seem to think that House has began the downward spiral that will lead to inevitable episode that marks the jumping of the shark. This is so far away from the truth, I can’t help but laugh at these idiots. One person in particular seems to believe that because HUDDY has been introduced into the show (Introduced? Where have these people been for the past three seasons?) the show will die. It’s only natural that fans want to see our beloved, misanthropic ass find love and happiness and rainbows. There were those who wanted Stacy to happen for the briefest moments of time. Those who believe Wilson and House have secretly been poking each other with their pork swords since the beginning. Those who think House should be getting it up the ass by Chase, Foreman, Taub, random clinic patient number sixty-seven. Then there is the ever epic, not to mention entertaining battle between Huddy and Hameron shippers. I repeat, this is normal behavior.
What I find incredibly stupid of people is that these so called fans have begun to HATE and RESENT the show because it has taken a direction they didn’t want it to go. Hameron fans got Chameron. H/W fans got Amber, who in actuality only fueled their motives because she was House with a wig. Huddy fans got sexual hallucinations – and then the SPOILER. Oh nos! The spoiler that caused Huddy fans everywhere to clutch their chests and sob with anger. I myself am a firm believer in Huddy (expect when she is acting like a teeny-bopper, not the strong woman who used to kick House’s ass), but I feel the need to step in here. I am a fan of HOUSE MD, the show. Not a fan of sexual exploits, ships, relationships that don’t happen, etc. Perhaps it’s my upbringing as a die-hard X-Files fan (waiting seven seasons for something to actually happen between two characters tends to teach you a bit of patience). I feel as though these people who claim they won’t watch the premier because of a spoiler that doesn’t follow their wishes should not call themselves fans. Don’t let a ship ever, EVER define a show. If you want to see House grow as a character, which is what the writers are attempting to do it seems and is the point of most shows to see how the characters develop, then wouldn’t you be happy he OPENS up to someone?
Of course, I felt betrayed and outraged on first instinct that House wasn’t going to get with Cuddy right away. But people, this is the first show of the season. We don’t even know how it’s going to play out! Give the show a chance, after all the show has made it into the sixth season and is rated the number one show in the WORLD says some random magazine. Give the writers a little bit more credit, you really think they want to lose their fans anymore than we want to lose the House we love?
I honestly do not mean to offend people out there. But the fact is, the war will never be over between ships. David Shore is not the type of guy who believes in happily ever afters. House will never be unmiserable. He is not the type to go get married, have lots of babies, and be nice because society has told him to. We have seen he wants happiness this past season. That he is working on it. But if you honestly think that his character will do any of the above things without out some sort of snag, you have been watching the wrong show. I mean, isn’t that why people love House? Because it walks the line of reality?
You can’t always get what you want, fans.
But is the ride not worth it?
