bullshit!!!

While I am happy for Kalpenn Modi and his new career move working for the Obama administration, I still call bullshit on the direction "House" went with things. Kutner was all depressed and suicidal? Seriously? SERIOUSLY!?!?! I'm sorry, but as someone who has had a history of depression, and suicidal thoughts (when I was in college, I've been clear on that front for over 13 years, thank goodness---the suicidal thoughts that is) they have got to be kidding me, well that is SOME portrayal of a depressed and suicidal character. Except not, since they just pulled this crap out of their asses. And yeah, ok, there are people good at faking "normal" but whatevs, I still call BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT. What are they doing to my favorite show? Or rather, what have they done? Can we please stop with the Foreteen crap, thanks?! Argh. I'd probably stop watching if I didn't still thoroughly enjoy Hugh Laurie's performance.

I think a sudden brain tumor would have been a less cliche way of killing off a character. And that's saying a lot about the writing, they totally pulled that plot line out their ass.

I dunno. By the time I got back from Wisconsin, I was seriously pondering methods. Could you tell?

I didn't see you in person on a regular basis. I know in college, when I lived with and practically on top of friends, I knew when things were spiraling south.

I live alone, and have for the majority of the last 15 years. Coworkers didn't get inside, and the friends I told had trouble believing. *shrug*

Just sayin' it's possible. Unlikely plot thread and about as much fun to watch as the Tritter arc, but possible.

Oh, IRL is different, of course. Mostly I meant this is a lame-ass plot twist to come out of nowhere without the smallest hint of trouble from Kutner. Totally pulled from their asses, and it shows.

I'm sorry you were in such a bad place. I know all too well what a shitty place it is...

I think House finally jumped the shark.

STOP

he DIDN'T kill himself. They can't be that stupid. Stay tuned to find out what really happened

Well, I hope you are right!

Supposedly, they did it to drive House nuts, b/c HE thrives on solving a mystery and he didnt see this coming either.

I'm going to stay tuned b/c the word on the street is House and Cuddy finally get it on this season.

Yeah, Cuddy and House are supposed to finally get all up in each other's business, but that is historically a Jumping the Shark move right there. We'll see how they handle it.
