Okay, good. I'm putting things back in perspective again.
House and Wilson have loved known each other for a very long time, and the fact that they're having a dry spell ... and are tense with each other about it only signifies that their chemistry is STILL there.
This is a great view, and I'm going to practice using this view for all future episodes. Except...
Have faith, my dear! Couples aren't always puppies and sunshine. Once Wilson has his breakdown (like we don't know it's coming?) House will hobble to his rescue and things will be merry again.
Couples certainly have problems and fights and awful moments and a rocky road together, but since H and W aren't an open couple, I'm worried that this is the show's way of getting rid of all the icky H/W slashy subtext that I enjoy so much. Which is really silly (and paranoid! Yeesh), but it's how I'm feeling lately. It would be one thing if H & W were an acknowledged couple on the show. Then at least their current rift could be addressed. But since they're not, I worry that more of the same is to come. More unhappy tension between the two, making room for Ham, Huddy, or God-knows-what.
And if Wilson ever does have his breakdown (which I personally think has been a long time coming), I'm not so sure that House would even attempt to help him out. I really don't see House doing much to help his friend. At least not in any meaningful or satisfying way. That worries me. But really, I think I might be worrying just a little TOO much.
I need a sedative.
Thanks, though. Your response has put things into better perspective, and I'm feeling better about my favorite TV show couple. :)
