  Really?!

  WARNING: LONG angry blog ensues.

  Why?

  Why is it that all the shows I watch seem to never follow through with what they build up?

  First of all, let's start with SVU. Now that's a given. I sorta gave up on watching Law and Order SVU primarily because the tension between elliot and Olivia that has been built up for years is now pretty much nonexistent. No more close moments, heart-to-hearts...no more eye-sex. Nothing. Where is the sexual tension that we used to see back in Season 6-7? Where's the "You're the longest relationship I've ever had with a man" feelings? What, now that Elliot has knocked up Kathy yet again, only prolonging an already broken marriage, Olivia pretends her feelings for Elliot have never existed? What is it with writers these days?!

  After giving up on SVU, I started making up for the lack of shipping with House and Cuddy's interesting dynamic. Finally, a show that was actually going forward with built up sexual tension...Or so I thought. I started watching soon after I saw the Huddy kiss, which felt so....satisfying. Relieving. But of course, it was something that was only momentary and they both have since fallen back to their unrequited love phase. Post-huddy kiss episodes have been riling with explosive sexual tension, from House indirectly complimenting Cuddy, to Cuddy's longing looks at House....It was pretty much obvious at this point that eventual 'tension relief' was inevitable.

  Which brings me to the last couple of episodes of House. The Huddy excitement begins in Under My Skin, when House retreats to Cuddy's office and asks her to help him with detoxing. Cuddy agrees and, after a long night of unpleasant nausea, withdrawal, and utter misery on House's part, Cuddy admits her feelings towards House. There is a long pause. They are both staring at each other. Both acknowledge they are alone. Awkward, yet HOT and WELCOMING sexual tension ensues...which culminates in hot, fiery passionate sex.

  The finale was much invited as well for Huddy fans around the world. House's expected pompous attitude over his deed was definitely entertaining, as well as Cuddy's attempts to forget about what happened the night before. All was well, until the last ten minutes of the finale, which just blew me away...in a BAD way.

  Which brings me to this point.

  REALLY?!

  Really, House TPTB? Was it really necessary to make everything all part of House's hallucinations?! I felt so cheated, betrayed, and fooled. For once, I thought there was actually a show out there that followed through with a relationship, but apparently I was blatantly wrong. For once, I thought House was going to be happy, for once I thought House was truly not in pain. But of course, the writers decided it would be nice to pull the rug right out from under all of us and make it all, well, an illusion. a figment of House's imagination--mentally ill imagination, to be exact. And now, we are back to square one. except now, it is more apparent that House is pining for Cuddy, which makes it all the more painful to watch now that we know that the Huddy romance of these last couple of episodes never happened.

  I have never been more disappointed about a show in my life. I don't even know what is worse--SVU for pretending that EO no longer exists, or House for deceiving everyone.

  There is really no purpose for me to watch TV nowadays. It's not like I even had a TV to watch here in the first place.

  SVU's TPTB should take a few tips and pointers from....

  HOUSE! I have become so hung up on the Huddy ship because they are actually making PROGRESS and ADDRESSING the UST. In 2 days, we will hear the MOANS heard around the world ( ) when House and Cuddy get it on!

  Now if David Shore and Katie Jacobs were able to work this out on House, why can't Neal Baer and Dick Wolf do the same for SVU? As you can see, I'm pretty disappointed as to how they handled the relationship between Olivia and Elliot. After YEARS of Unresolved sexual tension building up, it has come to this-- a few jokes and glances here and there. No more hugs, no more hints, no more EO. WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  People are gonna be dropping dead like flies...

  On TV, that is.

  The most painful thing to watch on TV is to watch someone you have grown to adore/connect with die, right there in front of you in your living room, essentially.

  And now I'm going to be witnessing this in the spring, when someone's going to be "biting the dust" in both my favorite shows, SVU and House.

  Well, I'm not completely sure if "biting the dust" really applies to a character death on SVU but it does seem apparent though....

  Anyway, I digress. Sure, it may make some great drama to watch, but it's just so heartbreaking and gutwrenching to witness, especially if it's going to be on a season finale, where we would just be left in shards for 3-4 months, knowing nothing of its impact til next season's premiere.

  One of the saddest character deaths that I have seen was the death of Dr. Mark Greene on ER. He was one of my favorite doctors on that show, and watching the episode ("On the Beach" Season in which he succumbs to his brain tumor had left me sobbing in my throw pillow as the tunes of "Over the Rainbow" by Brother Iz played on relentlessly.

  ...And now, I will have to go through the same tears, and crumpled tissues again, when I watch a favorite character die on House and possibly SVU. At least this time, I won't be alone...I'll be crying along with all my fan friends!
