It's somehow ironic that the episode quality improves whenever the female leads are in the background...probably because their personalities have been reduced to flirting and/or whining...:P
But seriously,chemistry between male characters on this show seems to me so much better and natural that I can't imagine any romance beating that.:P

It's so sad, isn't it? XD The single House/Cuddy scene in this episode was great. I wouldn't mind the ship so much if it was like that all the time. Not that OOC crap they're force-feeding us now.

*g* yeah,on other shows even if I didn't like a particular ship I at least liked both characters and could even like them as a couple(luckily those shows are heavy on procedural drama,not soaps),but here,it seems that having a crush on House turns all women quite...pathetic(Cameron and Cuddy share the same fate I'm afraid.:P).It's hard to like even the cute scenes when you can't like the character anymore.;)

Ah, I was thinking about that too.
And you can definitely see it in most things written by men (heck, it's blatant in The Watchmen).

I suppose nobody writes women like Kathy and Mo. Instead we're all shown as hormonal basketcases.

Unfortunately I am a hormonal basketcase.
