Current Events > Rewatching House, Kutner is kind of depressing in retrospect *SPOILERS*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Pretty sure he only ended up suiciding because Kal Penn wanted to leave, but there's a couple of details before that point that make it believable.

Lost both his parents to a murderer when he was six, claims he "enjoyed" being "on the outside looking in" to that chinese woman. When asked if he's happy he seems really uncomfortable when he says "sure". And after Amber dies he's the only character besides House and Wilson who are alone in the ending montage.

I'm getting sad the more I think about it.

Also whats the deal with Amazon Prime apparently having the rights for "Teardrop" but only for a handful of episodes. >_>

Recently been going on a House binge as well.

Hugh and Robert are both fantastic actors, with Robert I think just truly shining in his various scenes - especially the more depressing ones.

I do wonder if we are seeing more to Kutner than was intended though. While I certainly think they used his suicide to impact House later on, not entirely sure how intended that was.

kutner was also a bully and apologized to his victim at the end of one of the episodes.

bullies aren't known to have satisfying lives etc.

I rewatched the series a couple months back and I realized again just how much Foreman annoyed me.

Wilson is one of my favorite characters in fiction, period. Yeah, the actor kills it whenever he's on screen, and his and Laurie's chemistry is perfect.

Makes sense. Gosh so much of this show has left me by now.

I've definitely got mixed feelings towards him. On one hand, he's usually justified and usually practical. On the other hand, he's sort of a dick. I think getting "promoted" after rejoining the team definitely helped his character though.
