I kinda want to kick House in the shins a lot of the time (especially for the way he treats Cuddy and how the writers have her allow him to walk all over her).
Usually I have no problem with how he treats Cuddy, because, strangely, I don't interpret it as being *personal* in a lot of ways. I think it's just that he and Cuddy are always going to be at opposing interests. And as long as you have something House wants and you won't fork it over to him easily and you won't be persuaded through sexual bribery, you're going to get it in the face from him.
What I think is extraordinary is that not only can Cuddy take it, but she still manages to look after House.
I don't think he's walked all over her, I just don't think that the writers have emphasized that Cuddy *must* be doing her job pretty damn well. Because she's managed to keep her job, House's job, and the hospital running excellently. Which means that, at least most of the time, even when dealing with House, she must come out with what she intended to get.
Sometimes I secretly believe that Cuddy actually has pwned House (and did so a long time ago) and is just making sure that he doesn't know it by allowing him to believe that he's bending her over a chair.
but Amita and Charlie have managed to go from "OMG! Do!Not!Want!" to "Aw, they're so cute,"
Amen. At the beginning, I was deliberately putting on slash goggles just to avoid that 'ship, but after a while, like pool water that's just a biiiit too cold when you first get in, I got used to it.
They got a lot cuter in comparison to Don and Whatever Her Name Is That's The FBI Agent Chick. I was headdesking profusely over that one.

Still, it's a good show.
