House M.D. pays tribute to Dr. Lawrence Kutner

Dr. Kutner is one of the three “survivors” from Dr. House’s insanely series of tests to replace his three doctors Chase, Cameron and Foreman during the fourth Season of House M.D. I am totally addicted to this series and I have the complete DVD from first to fourth season and could watch it over and over again and still laugh over the House-ism moments.
They apparently cut short Kal Penn’s character Dr. Lawrence Kutner and I was totally shocked. I was so shocked that I thought that Kal Penn was really dead when an obituary appeared on House’s website. Apparently it’s Kutner the character’s obituary and not Penn’s. Kutner was a sassy, funny doctor and yet unassuming, brilliant and but was not overpowering. Although the show could have done better in giving him enough limelight and character unfolding, he had his moments when he stands on philosophy and medical diagnosis through Starwars and other science-fiction theory that he so loved.
Kal Penn, the actor asked to be let go from the TV show to work with Obama’s administration in Washington as associate director for public liaison. Whoa, not bad. So this means that he won’t be acting for a while.

Gone But Remembered

Some Episode lines
“I’m sorry for your loss.” - Cuddy
“It’s not my loss.” - House
“I’m sorry you don’t think it is.” - Cuddy
“Suicide means you could have helped him; murder means you’re off the hook.” - Cameron to House.

Hugh Laurie’s character Dr. House was shaken for Kutner who appears to be always a breezy, carefree person to commit suicide. As the funeral service is going on, House was in Kutner’s house searching for answers on why Kutner decided to end his life. For a doctor like House who always obsessed with answer, this was a mystery he has to solve even in the indignant lectures of Cuddy, Wilson and Cameron on his lack of remorse.
