Great tragic romances belong in fantasy, and not on a medical show. Hospitals aren't epic; they're mundane and bureaucratic
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.
