You bring up a good point about how the whole Tritter thing strained their relationship, and how it's not going to be the same afterward. It's certainly silly to expect things to be the same after that mess.
Still, I tried to see the episodes with this in mind, and I'm still unsettled by the whole thing. Maybe it's just dissatisfaction with the whole show mingling with dissatisfaction with H/W.
This:
The problem I see with Season 3 is that the show's turning more and more into a soap opera rather than the medical drama it was in Season 1 (and most of Season 2). The writers are replacing the medicine with more soap opera and drama, which they don't necessarily do very well. For example, they don't exactly know what to do with the entire House/Wilson relationship.
is dead-on. The drama! The drama! I guess maybe the reason I'm so annoyed with the personal relationships changing this season is because the writer's are sort of... well, bad at them. Sigh. I was actually enjoying the Tritter arc for the pressure it put on H & W. But now, it's kinda.... ick. Oh well. I see now that it's prolly just to-be-expected fallout from the Tritter thing, etc.
I feel better after reading your response. Thanks!
