The only thing that irks me that TPTB got away with everything. They got away with not fleshing out Kutner's character for *two years* (despite KP's busy schedule elsewhere; apparently, he told DS and KJ 'very early in the process' that he viewed his tenure in the show as 'temporary'), they got away with a contrived, engineered for DRAMA! death precisely because it's a suicide, and they even got away with making Kutner's death a vehicle for House's angst. I'm fairly certain that TPTB didn't know he would be leaving so soon (apparently the planning started in December?), but when they did, they had to come up with a retcon that fills all the gaps. Not fleshed out? Ah, that's because he was the guy who was everyone's friend and yet no one really know.OOC suicide? Ah, but how do you know when you didn't really know him? Vehicle for House's angst? Naturally, since the show is from House's POV, and even Amber's death was an excuse to let House's drama with Wilson (and this season's extended drama with Cuddy) play out - what else did you expect?

Erm, I hope I'm being clear about what I'm getting at?
