I love both the show too much to *compare*, but the House writers could use a lesson or two in writings arcs and doomed, tragic romances from Joss

I rather wish they wouldn't. Great tragic romances belong in fantasy, and not on a medical show. Hospitals aren't epic; they're mundane and bureaucratic (and if House doesn't get Cameron to do his paperwork, Cuddy's gonna whup him). Despite the fangirlish squee I'd be evidencing if House/Wilson ever came to be, the rational parts of my mind fervently wish that Shore would stick to the ampersand, which House, MD handles wonderfully (despite a few Cameron&Foreman slips), and not try for romance. Between House/Cameron and the painful melodrama that afflicted House/Stacy, Shore and his writing team clearly grow a little stupid when romance enters the equation.

True. But it's the kind of thing they were trying for with House and Stacy. And it almost could have worked - in the mundane, he's a doctor and she's a lawyer way (and not a Buffy and Angel way, lol!) - except for the pointless melodrama that they came up with in S2. It was like they set her arc up in 'The Honeymoon' - and then didn't know what to do with her in S2. So they kept flailing around till suddenly someone said, 'I know! Let them have sex. Then we break them up.' So they did. And it didn't work very well.

Yes. I liked Stacy in season 1, but the way the melodrama would build in every scene she was in in S2 compelled one to feel embarassed for the writers.
