I've been thinking a lot about the impact of Kutner's suicide and am baffled by complaints that it was too sudden and that the show moved on too quickly afterwards.

Re: "too sudden" -- well, we all know the real reason for its suddenness is that the actor needed to be abruptly written out of the show (thanks, Obama), but it was also a realistic depiction of suicide. Sometimes people impulsively kill themselves while drunk and no one knows why. Happens all the time in the real world.

Re: "moved on too quickly" -- did we watch the same show???

Kutner's suicide was the direct cause of the overarching plot for the second half of season five, and also drastically changed the overall trajectory of House's life. Presumably the writers originally had something else planned for the instigating event and just swapped in Kutner's suicide, but either way that crisis is what kicked off most of the major plot twists for the remainder of the show:

Kutner's suicide upset House so much that he could no longer sleep and drastically increased his Vicodin intake to cope with both his insomnia and his feelings.

The sleep deprivation set off House's first bout of psychosis in which he tried to kill Chase, and the Vicodin abuse set off his second round of psychosis in which he hallucinated having sex with Cuddy.

The multiple bouts of psychosis are what convinced House to go to rehab.

House getting off Vicodin is what made Cuddy willing to give things a shot with him.

That relationship ending badly led to House crashing his car into her living room and going to prison.

The knowledge that his parole was about to be revoked and he'd miss the last 5 months of Wilson's life is why House faked his death.

The show didn't "move on" from Kutner's suicide at all -- its effects reverberated for three and a half seasons, all the way through the series finale.

I'm not arguing that Kutner's suicide was the *only* reason those things happened. House's life was already in the dumpster. But Kutner's suicide was the match that lit the dumpster fire.

Tell me why there's so many Hilson fics (as there should be) but next to none retconing Kutners death.

THERES SO MUCH POTENTIAL.

House calls him that morning to bitch him out for missing work being his whiney usual self. It's enough to shake him out of it and say hey yeah I can wait a few hours. Only he goes to work and feels okay.

He sees what happens between the couple, how she tried to kill herself for her husband. Has a noticeable reaction and House clocks it.

Kutner just breaks. Starts letting it all out. House gets visibly effected by it. They strike a GOOD friendship. Wilson even starts to get a little jealous. Together they dig through everything. Kutners problems and Houses baggage. House even comes to terms with being in love with Wilson.

We get told time and time again that House and Kutner are different sides of the same coin. So why don't we have fanfic of it. I just want them to be bffs.

Wilson wordlessly offering Kutner some of his chips in 4x13,,,, Wilson & Kutner friendship, my beloved (we were so robbed of more of this)

thinking about Thirteen post 5.20 needing to talk to someone about Kutner's death but not wanting to do so with a counselor because they're a stranger, they didn't know Kutner and they don't know her, and she's kind of sick of seeing counselors at this point in her life. and House and Taub and Foreman are all shutting her out and dealing with it alone and forcing her to do the same. and she realizes that the person she wants to talk to about Kutner's death is Kutner and the conscious realization that she'll never talk to him again hits her like a truck
