I am still really irked by this episode and I'm not sure why anymore. Oftentimes, people take their own lives and we never see it coming and yet I'm still having a hard time believing Kutner would shoot himself. Saying it's "out of character" isn't fair because it happens like that in real life. When a person takes their own life it can be sudden and shocking, but I kept fuming that Kutner's death was contrived and shoe-horned (even though I realize Penn left the show pretty abruptly). And even though I recognize that this show is all about House in the end, I'm not impressed with the way Kutner's death is just a vehicle for House to angst some more. The only thing that I actually liked was Foreman's memorial note on the website. It's so perfectly him and it makes me feel like I understand why he drew away from Thirteen to grieve.

Anyway, am writing Amber & Kutner fic. Oy vey.
