So I stopped watching "House" early last season, and all I've encountered since then has been via fandom, ie bits of fanfic etc here and there, and some comments about how the writers are quite clearly pandering to fans and slashers etc. I was pretty sure it was still pretty understated (if not entirely in people's imaginations) though.
And then I randomly flipped channels to commercial tv for a change, and hit a trailer for the upcoming episode (8:30 on ten, if you care), which basically implied that House becomes obsessed with a male soap opera star and kidnaps him for his own nefarious purposes, a la Love and Death on Long Island. I sat there incredulous.. and then of course looked it up online.
Alas, the real plot, as exhibited by the american ad, is much less interesting :)
On the ohtr hand, how awesome is it that I can watch an ad and immediately find a synopsis of the episode and a similar ad for the same episode. I love the internet.

Yeah, yeah, fine :)
I don't have a problem with House's set-up (I love mysteries), I went off the shows for other reasons.
I like watching stuff on dvd, that way you can spread it out, although it does mean often being spoiled for major plot points.
