Eh, maybe a little. I think the 13-heavy arc for a few episodes I was thining a bit, but I still really like this show mostly because of Laurie. The last couple of episodes (esp. last week) have been good and this week's looks promising.

 

[Kira's Mom]

Hope it's good tonight.

 

[Kira's Mom]

NOOOOOOOOO! Not Kutner! Oh, man. That came from nowhere...

I was sure Taub would be the one to top himself.

 

[Neroon]

Kal Penn, whatever character he plays NEVER seems to come to a good end

 

[bigdaddy]

Wow... this show is horrible trash... wow...

I have watched for several seasons and this could very well be the last episode I bother watching.

 

[Kira's Mom]

Kal Penn, whatever character he plays NEVER seems to come to a good end

Yeah.

 

[Neroon]

Kal Penn, whatever character he plays NEVER seems to come to a good end

Yeah.

So ... what is House's play here? Is he trying to somehow assuage his own guilt?

 

[ancientone51]

Kutner WTF??

House with the family...whoa

 

[Brent]

well, ok, the kutner death was interesting, and unexpected, completely, a weird kind of depressing episode so far though

 

[Trekker4747]

Based on spoilers I had read, I suspected Kutner would die tonight.

Apparently in, er, "light" of his death all of New Jersey turned their lights off.

I feel the same way. I love House as a character, but I feel as if I've had my fill. Plus, eventhough the show itself is far from bad, it feels as if the tone has shifted from what it was in the first season. That first season felt like a simple show about a simple doctor, but now there seems to be more melodrama. I think they've done this in an attempt to keep the show interesting, but I'd say the first season's formula was fine and worked well. This isn't the kind of show that needs too much drama. All it needs is House being House. That and possibly a shorter run.

As for this episode, I'm surprised that Kutner's dead.

Foreteen should have expected what happened with House at the parents.....

 

[Kira's Mom]

Taub is getting to be more like House than Foreman was. Odd how detatched he is.

Kutner streaked at a football game? That does sound like him.

Yeah, I think House is going to be troubled by guilt for a while.

 

[Samurai8472]

First Derek on T:SCC and now Kutner. Not a fun time to be on a FOX show.

lol good point

 

[Kira's Mom]

House thinks it was murder? Well, technically, he's right, suicide is self-murder.

 

[Neroon]

First Derek on T:SCC and now Kutner. Not a fun time to be on a FOX show.

Ask Nathan Fillian if there was ever a time when it WAS fun

 

[Trekker4747]

House and Wilson are having an interesting "Holmes and Watson" moment here.
