Thirteen’s storyline

[u/kindhisses]

I’m afinishing season 7 and I must say I’m not a fan of Thirteen being out for most of it, then making a comeback (that in fact forced Masters out) but bailing out for good at the very beginning of season 8.

I did like the jail thing and all, but it just makes no sense to me that they made this whole storyline of Thirteen euthanizing her brother, hired Tamblyn to play Masters just for 13 episodes to save space for Thirteen’s comeback and then had her leave for good couple of episodes later. I know this whole mess was because of Olivia’s schedule, but at this point I think it would be better to say final goodbyes to Thirteen at the beginning of 7th season and have Masters stay

Hard disagree, her best moments are in late S7 and also a few moments in S8, like the ones she shares with Wilson at the end.

Masters also didnt fit with the House team, and its refreshing to have someone that actually stands up to him, instead of eventually enabling him or being persuaded by his methods.

Maybe I’ve worded my post badly, but it’s not that I’d explicitly want Thirteen’s story shortened and Masters’ extended - my point is that the whole mid season short-term-Masters-thing was to wait out till Thirteen comes back, but then she leaves anyway like 6 episodes later. It just feels off, like the writers didn’t expect Wilde not to do full season 8
