Late to the par... er funeral (too soon?)

Kutner: Sadly, I never cared much for him as a character. I never could quite buy him as a doctor, and no, it's not because I think of him as Kumar. Never watched White castle ;)

I was completely spoiled so I had my reservations about how this was going to play out and I was hoping that they weren't going for cheap shock value . The fact that KP had to leave helped and this and Shore and co. just got away with their failure to give Kutner a single independent storyline in two seasons *and* got a lot of heartwrenching drama *and* managed to reduce the cast *and* managed to set up even more DRAMA! for the finale *and* make it fit with the season's overarching theme… Hee. I don't think the suicide was necessary but they kinda made it work.

Wilson and Cuddy, meanwhile, rocked my socks off in this episode. Word ;)
But they are friends Of this I'm not sure. Don't get me wrong I have no doubt they care a lot about each other, and I've spend the whole season wanting to believe they're actually real friends... but I'm not really seeing it. It's probably a personal thing, to me a friendship has to be based on caring and desire to have that other person in your life while Wilson and Cuddy are basing their relationship on House(Cuddy) and Wilson's fraking savior complex. Even back in season 3, when they started getting close and Wilson took her out, it was because, according to him she worked hard and needed it. NEED of course being the main word on Wilson vocabulary. They do have real moments but from where I'm standing the whole thing it's not really working.

scene between Cuddy and Taub Hee, every time there's scene between them I flashback to "As Good as it Gets" and mentally tell Taub to hurry up and tell her that he loves her because Jack Nicholson is gonna show up demanding his table and throwing insults.

I fear for House in the next few episodes. I'm more concerned about Wilson, which is weird because I actually care about House a lot more

because Kutner's suicide has faced her with her greatest fear: which is, again, losing House Really? I mean she would be devastated, but I think her biggest fear would be losing Rachel. Speaking of Rachel, where is she? Come on TPTB I want a sweet scene between Cuddy and her kid before the finale. Specially noe that she is, what? 5 months old? Cuddy is happy with her baby girl and I want to see it, even 15 seconds of them cuddling and then you can have House in peril!! again or whatever, so the show doesn't get to fluffy ;)
