Actually, I have no problem with the 'Bombshells' episode other than what it does to Cuddy's character at the end. If I were sure the writers intended to slaughter her credibility, I'd be fine with it too - she's their character, not mine. I'm not sure, though. I think they simply didn't notice.

But other than that I loved the episode. I don't have to agree with Cuddy's decision to dump House to respect it, just as I don't have to agree with House's decision to forgive Wilson and Cuddy whatever they do to him without ever bringing those issues up with them and making them reflect their behaviour. I respect his decision there, although it's probably a foolish one.

What I object to is sloppy writing and the propensity to sacrifice the show's central tenet, the search for truth, to the exigencies of TV ratings.
