IS there a...cliche, or a trope or a syndrome that states all essentially smart secondary characters must be made to look like complete idiots so the jackass main character can come in and show off how smart he is? I'm talking specifically about Lassiter and Wilson. Both are in their 30's, yet one's the head of the entire oncology department in a major teaching hospital, one's the head detective of a police precinct. That didn't happen by magic, they have to pretty pretty smart and capable right? Then why are they always made to look dumb at their very profession so House and Shawn can come in and save the day? I might be the only one who's annoyed by this >.>

No, but if you join the post I made yesterday and the EPIC clichebadfic we are writing there, you can add it to the story and make it official.

Oh my god, I just spent ten minutes reading that and I am rolling with laughter.

My favorite: "THE AIRWOLF JACKET RESCUING FAKE PSYCHIC"

Also, I may say this, "I'M BUTTCRAZY IN LOVE WITH LASSIE." about someone, regardless of the looks I will no doubt get.

I can't keep up with the 200 comments though!

The things, the incompetent Lassie is more of a cliche for the actual show, the ficcers treat him better for goodness sake!

I think you're going to need to, I have a widescreen computer and the comments are going off my screen, haha!
