What I found interesting is that when the idea of shoes being thrown at Alex to try and dislodge his head fence, I would have bet my life that Fatiha would've been the one to actually throw the shoes. Then suddenly this monster appeared.

[ID: Three screencaps from Taskmaster. Jason Mantzoukas says, "This is going to be one of those ones where you're like, 'Shockingly, Jason was doing this for 33 minutes." The camera cuts to a view out over the Taskmaster house's roof and garden, overlaid with the huge numbers, "29:00". End ID.]

now, what i'm going to say is me coming from a half self indulgent-half narrative standpoint, but the loss of momentum that can be felt in season 6 could have been saved by going for hilson endgame.

Which sounds irredeemably shipperish, so just let me explain. At least to me, the whole house-cuddy thing has gone on waaay too long by the time season 6 rolls around and instead of being the 'ive been in love with her for years' thing, it comes off as him just popping up every other episode to remind the viewer that this is, in fact, the only other thing that should (doesn't) have the viewer hooked on the show.

Looking at the other side of things, Wilson went through a similar cycle to house with his romantic endevours through seasons 1-4 - season 5 is a nice conclusion to the Amber era, one that is genuine and that even hilson shippers appreciate.

We go into season 6 with these two having sacrificed many things for each other's sake, as well as with house coming out of Mayfield a better man. (I won't even argue his romance with the german lady, it was a nice change from his pathological codependencies back home.) They get a condo together. There's the whole gay joke ep that hardly has any traction without there being any stakes. The furniture thing, 'i like what this says about you, wilson.'

When the Sam re-run arc comes along, what wilson's doing is taking a step backward. At least in my opinion, a step backwards in a fictional story merits a step forward elsewhere. And everything's already set up: House's jealousy, Cuddy out of the picture, Wilson launching into and latching onto a relationship he knows won't work longterm (really? gonna beat the dead horse called 'people change' again, david?) Admittedly, I'm still on ep 19 s 6, so what do I know?

It's just that - it's all there, already! All the writers would have to do was nudge House's possessiveness into something less comfortable than 'diversity quota of 2010 fulfilled by token bisexual side character' to get into a really compelling and, realistically, earned plotline that would dig the pacing out of the ground. But where's the fun in that?
