You don't have to feel bad. I was not waiting for you to pat me on the shoulder, but to express clearly the reasons why you and I were right to be that unhappy about it (I knew that you could not be okay with it). Knowing I was angry and shocked for reasons valid to others helps.
I will probably rewatch past seasons in a few months, when I am healed a little. I have loved this character too much to be able not to rewatch him (I'll probably run the first half of season 2 again and again). In optimistic days, I'll rewatch Selfish, which has Huddy scenes that were still in character.
I had no intention of copying your article elsewhere. I sent the link to the writers, pointing that it was a polite and thoughtful review that many fans agreed with. They should read it instead of receiving angry tweets. (Although, anger seems mostly directed towards Shore and Yaitanes). ANd I believe press reviews are out, too, and impressively negative so far. I hope, at least, they'll be aware of this before starting to write season 8. Ad not blame it on a kind of "end-of-Huddy angry fans". But the House staff seem so brain washed/arrogant/ full of themselves, that I'm not sure they will learn anything. Good thing that Shore's contract negociations are not ended yet. The lowering in ratings and the impressive negative reaction should play a part in a possible "game-changing writing". Like, a good one.
And I fully agree with you that consequences, whatever they are, won't change the fact that House's character has been destroyed. Even punishing won't change the fact that we now have to deal with a cold blooded, unrepentant abuser. Heck. I try hard to erase it.
