Unexpected, to say the least...

As sad as this episode was for me, I also think it's one of the best I've ever watched. I was very fond of Kutner and his suicide was orchestrated perfectly in this episode. It was moving, fascinating, frustrating, clever and made you think - very good entertainment. This and Amber's death are two of the best story-lines ever to feature in House, in my opinion. One of the things I love about House is that they never try and sugar-coat the truth - it's unapologetic in its portrayal of human nature and behaviour. Few other programmes offer that sort of analysis, and this is what makes House so great. I'm going to miss Kutner the character, and Kal Penn's acting - he made Kutner funny, endearing, intelligent, approachable and realistic as a person. Wonderful episode. On a side note, I really hope Foreman and Thirteen survive this, because I love the relationship they have and I'd hate to see something drive them apart... lastly, I don't particularly like Taub - disagree with Kutner's decision or not, they worked together and he should have gone to the funeral, in my opinion.
