no subject
I didn't think any payoff in Help Me could possibly have been worth the derivative nature the show suddenly took. At the absolute least, the absurdity in Son of a Coma Guy is medically related and something House could reasonably have a part in, being a doctor (the guy being fully functional physically was definitely a stretch, but at least he wasn't crawling through holes, and you get some pseudo-bullshit explanation with the drug. Help Me didn't even attempt to explain how House could crawl underground so frequently, he just did it), instead of, well... The plot of Help Me could just as easily not be in a medical show. The doctors could have just as easily been backdrops like the firefighters and such were, and instead of House it could have been the girl's husband. Son of a Coma Guy still revolved around an actual diagnosis, was still a medical mystery, and both parts of the episode came together nicely and powerfully in the end. So regardless of payoff - Help Me doesn't even fit into the type of show that House is, it just happens to have a few characters in common. I could even take another flashy finale, House's Head/Wilson's Heart, and yet it remained about a medical mystery, a diagnosis, and featured the characters of House in abundance in a situation that could, without in-your-face stretching, happen.
As for the sudden out-of-nowhereness of Huddy... Mostly, I'm bugged by the severe and abhorrent retconning in a juvenile attempt to turn House and Cuddy into ~star-crossed lovers~. I don't mean that Huddy never existed. The show started off with three biggies involving Cuddy, Cameron, and Wilson, so Huddy has always been a part of the show. They closed off the Cameron part decently enough with Chase, House and Wilson have been having big gay adventures all season (including the literal gay-off which was, admittedly, an awesome episode), but... no, now it's all Cuddy and only Cuddy. The writers actually went back and changed the show. Like that 80's dance episode where the two of them confessed their love for each other that had been going on for like 20 years or something... what? That doesn't explain how in Three Stories, they don't even seem to know each other. And I get that things change after your first season, and you have to take its canon with a grain of salt, but that's way beyond the pilot episode, not to mention it's one of the most pivotal episodes in the show's canon since it explains House's limp. Fucking with a realistic, previously well-established canon for the sake of making Huddy !!fate!! is just a big no in my books, and I say this with absolutely no hate towards Huddy (I'm a non-shipper so if House had ended up with Cameron or Wilson I really wouldn't have cared either, but at this point I see far more to House/Wilson than I do with House/Cuddy). I say it out of hate of taking two previously well-established characters with a slightly murky but clear enough backstory, and smashing them together without care or consideration for what's been earlier established. It shows a lack of both care and planning, and it's just plain, well, bad.
... Loooong post.
