From House to House

So it turns out that the suicide of Dr. Lawrence Kutner on “House M.D.” was not meaningless after all: it was brought about by the job offer given to Kal Penn (the actor portraying Kutner) by the Obama White House. Penn is going to be “liason to Hollywood” or something like that.

I still salute the writers of “House” for coming up with the suicide to deal with the sudden disappearance of Kutner; it was a dramatically potent move. But finding out that the plot twist was likely manufactured to accomodate Penn’s career move takes away from the fun exercise of watching House re-runs on USA and thinking “was that foreshadowing?…was that Kutner crying for help?”, etc.

Good luck to my Jersey boy in his new job. Don’t keep that handsome mug off the screen for too long, though.
