This wank brought to you by a helpful mouse.

Remember House, the TV show about a Hugh Laurie brilliant doctor who plays by his own set of rules? Well, all you really need to know is that one of its major plot lines consists of two or three seasons of will they/won't they sexual tension that ultimately goes nowhere.

The players:
Dr. Gregory House: An embittered, sarcastic man with limited mobility and even more limited esteem for medical ethics. Recently checked into a mental hospital.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy: A long-suffering hospital director who attempts to stop her employees (particularly House) from electrocuting/killing/kidnapping patients. House’s former classmate.

House/Cuddy has its share of shippers, of course. But A CHALLENGER HAS ARRIVED with the introduction of Lydia, the relative of one of House's fellow patients. With whom House apparently has sex. And plays the piano.

Anonymous posters counter with angry blocks of teal deer. Huddy fans don't know what they've got... 'til it's gone. The lion lies down with the lamb and shippers become self aware okay, not really.

More Reactions:

“...and could you believe I'm more pissed for the piano than the sex? Sex means nothing. BUT I'VE WAITED ALL MY LIFE FOR HOUSE TO PLAY PIANO FOR CUDDY FOR GOD'S SAKE.”

"in his mind, he made LOVE to Cuddy... in RL he jsut has sex with women show me your genitals, your genitals, show me your genitals, GENITALIAAAA!"

“I used to have faith in the writers that they could keep House in character while seeing how a relationship with Cuddy unfolds. Now, I am just sick.”

She’s a psychiatrist fellow patient’s relative slut whore!

“they didnt even show him have sex with fucking stacy. what the fuck. fuck fox fuck the whole house crew fuck franka potente. i gotta admit for the last 2 seasons all this show did was devastate and bore me.
im so fucking out of here. x-files for life.” (This thread has pseudo-flounce, passive-aggression, and X-Files wank.)

"it's sick. I don't want to play those games anymore. I'm not following Shore on that road because it's not worth it (IMO). I get too hurted watching House with another woman (even if it's a transference, and I don't even believe this!), it's too much for me."

"If you'd come up with this show about this man
and created a Love Story with the Pretty Girl
but then discovered that he actually had major chemistry with the Sexy Boss
and decided to explore that instead
and found you'd opened up a whole gigantic story arc
and you decided it was so good
that you wanted to continue it into the future
and ultimately have them end up together
BUT you wanted to take several seasons to get there
and you'd reached the Moonlighting Shark Jump point
and so you needed to find a way to take a gigantic detour backwards / sidewards...
- is this the way you'd do it?"

"You people really need to get a grip."
"WHO ARE YOU to tell me how I should do and feel??"

But the crown jewel in the TMI crown probably has to go to one anon poster, who writes:
My whole childhood was crammed with heartbreak - my mother was spun around in a tire, hosed with ice water and beaten to death by government officials in my country, my 3 brothers are still in jail, I left the love of my life for the fucking head of an ice cream company my father wanted me to marry, I fled my country - and YES. I AM upset by a TV show that I feel is being written inconsistently because it is a form of escapism, an emotional rollercoaster where you can lose yourself in the story without thinking of the consequences.

You know what, my country's not a democracy, the government fucks you over, but the PEOPLE would never be this rude and uncivilized to each other.

Needless to say, it does not end there. The main thread is currently at 588 comments.
