I agree with you about House's nemesis; I also really could do without random people having this need to psychoanalyze him and declare that he is A Bitter Man who clearly has Issues. It's funny when Wilson does it, because they have a history. It's sorta cute when Cuddy occasionally jabs back. It's just weird and faintly annoying now that patients off the street have been developing this habit, though. I also didn't think he was *that* big of a jerk; he's done much worse things. Of course, it now appears that Cop is a bully himself (that explains that theory of his, I guess), so maybe he was just looking for a reason to take offense?

As an aside, maybe this makes me a horrible person, but I do think if I found out my lover was my half-sibling, it *wouldn't* change how I felt about them. (Of course, I don't want kids, so.) I'd probably avoid shouting it from the rooftops to ick people out, but can you really fall out of love that instantaneously?

(I was rather annoyed at the constant "they're just kids" mockery, actually, because I met my now-husband when I was 17. We got enough of that shit, thanks. 12 years later, we're still together.)
