No More House...
I can't stand it anymore. First season was great. Second season was somewhat good, with great moments. This season? Intolerable. I'm not even going to bother watching this next episode ("Finding Judas"), because the preview just made me roll my eyes in disgust. No more.
1) I'm completely disgusted by this "House is addicted to Vicodin" thing they're doing. He has a legitimate problem and has a legitimate need for pain killers. If they wanted to give him an addiction to his medication, which is entirely possible, they should've handled it far more carefully. This smacks of a badly written fanfic, somewhat akin to when fanbrats write about characters getting raped/cutting themselves/doing drugs just for emo-angst purposes. Writers, you disappoint me.
and
2) This Tritter thing. I can buy that a cop might go on a power trip, trying to get at a guy he doesn't like. Sometimes cops aren't nice guys, sometimes bullies become cops, too. But police officers cannot just go around freezing people's accounts willy nilly. No matter how badly he wants to get House, Tritter can't freeze Wilson's accounts. He can't freeze the ducklings' accounts. He can't even freeze House's accounts, because House isn't even a suspect for anything. Tritter is just digging, so he can find something. This is a completely unbelievable abuse of a power that this guy doesn't even have. One call to this guy's Captain or the Police Chief, and he'd probably have his badge taken away. Writers, really, at least have the decency to watch a few episodes of Law & Order if you're not going to bother doing actual research. Even that'll tell you this much.
Someone, shoot it dead. Before the stupidity starts spreading.
