Eck -it's taken me until just recently to finally get over my dislike for Wilson's treatment of House at the end of season 4 and the beginning of season 5.

It bothered me on so many levels.

Really I mainly watch the show for the House and Wilson interaction and the POTW. When Amber came into Wilson's life I was happy and sad as well. That meant less House, less of my favourite pairing on the show.

And then season 5 started off so depressingly. I didn't mind it but the lack of Wilson and for some reason the love of Thirteen that the producers have. Honestly what the hell is up with that?

I didn't like Amber. I never saw any chemistry between she and Wilson. Her relationship with him was rushed, weakening the power of her death, as a plot point. Wilson's reaction, in my opinion, was ridiculously overblown.

I am working on a master list of all the things I would change about the show, if I could, and all the things I wouldn't change. I don't know when I'm going to post it.

I didn't mind Amber, I hated her at first, but liked her with Wilson. But I think because of the writers strike there weren't many episode of her and Wilson. If there was actually 24 episodes instead of 16 then I wouldn't have mind.

I would love to see it. I have a few ideas I would love to see changed on the show.
First...more House and Wilson. ^_^ Maybe more innuendo between them. How about some sexual tension huh? Or even a hug?

Second, I want the old team to come back, I do love the new ducklings but I miss Chase and Cameron too.

Third, get the Huddy over and done with please. It was nice the first few seasons but now, hmm what's the phrase, beating a dead horse? I used to be such a Huddy fan too.

I think if the season had been 24 episodes, then they would have been able to sell the Amber arc more effectively.

I agree. -sighs- I wonder what season 6 is going to be like?

At this point, I have NO idea.
