Some grumpy thoughts about "Remorse"


In consideration of the massive continuity errors of the latest episode—is that just sloppy writing or (and) sloppy producing, or do they think we viewers are stupid?
 Episodes that follow each other but where something fundamental that happened in the episode(s) before is just forgotten? The total rape of Chase's character? The stupidity of Foreman and 13's on and off love affair? Wilson, who one time hates Cuddy for the way she treated House, and a moment later is angry about how House treated Cuddy "over all the years", which is total nonsense, even for Wilson? 
"Remorse" made no sense because of the position it had inside the series, especially not after "Wilson" or "The Down Low". It's as if they pulled an old and forgotten script out of the drawer and filmed it down in haste, not caring whatever, how little sense it made at that point, and just thrust it into the show randomly.
This show has producers in abundance, but none of them catches continuity errors and wrong characterizations? Do they just not care (not even HL?), or...what else is wrong with them? 

Your thoughts on this?

Don't worry - I shall save you from the non-co-dependent House!! *Beats the notion off with a stick*

Seriously, though. I don't think it's possible to make him stop depending on Wilson for moral/ethical/emotional support/guidance/insight without completely mutilating House's character. And however much some writers may be stretching the Huddy angle, I don't think DS would let them get away with destroying House. One of the producers even said years ago that a happy healthy and sober House all at once would mean the series is over. Which is clearly isn't. So...I'm not too concerned.

Although, people keep hinting that Wilson's character will slowly get explored in a little more depth, and I have this tiny little sense that they're trying to make House better enough that Wilson freaks out over no longer being needed by his one constant in life. And since Wilson defines his own value by how useful he is to a needy party (and since experience has taught him that when he is no longer needed/no longer makes himself needed, the person he loves will grow distant and then leave in some fashion, like the collapse of his marriages after his needy wives learned to stand on their own, and the disappearance of his brother after Wilson refused to play the part of the needed one...) I could see Wilson flipping out if he suddenly realized that House didn't *need* him anymore. Because I don't think that Wilson really understands that people would *want* to be his friend even if they got nothing tangible out of him. (Sort of like House, IMO).

Incidentally, I also think that's one of the reasons Wilson never really gripes all that much about supplying House with food all the time. Because House is getting something out of him, so it's like security, being needed even for something trivial like that.

And I'm done with the looooooong posting.

And I loooooooooove you for your reasoning and will say many other things some other time, but not now as you need a break from loooooooong posting and I need to betaaaaaaaa and then sleeeeeeeeeep.

When you do have time though sometime (not in a hurry here), would you mind taking a look at my comment (http://community.livejournal.com/house_wilson/3913595.html?thread=48516987#t48516987) down below and applying your intellect to it as well? There's an angle I'm sure I'm missing and I can't see it from where I'm standing.

Goodnight from this side of the pond though for the time being! *waves*
