House

Now the last episode made me really mad at 13... Grawr.

Did anyone watch last night's episode?

*Spoilers*

Apparently, actor Kal Penn is joining the Obama administration as a liaison between the White House and Asian-Americans. That's why they killed his character off last night.

I did!!! I was so shocked!

But when I found out why... then... i can't blame him

Heh. A girl on my friends list posted something on Facebook today complaining about it. Said it wasn't believable, and that they should've killed off Thirteen since she has Huntingtons already and it would've been "like way better". Or something.
I laughed at her. I thought it was a good plot twist, and made for one of the better episodes of the last couple seasons. And that's pretty cool that the actor's going to be doing some political work.

I had to laugh though because of all people to represent Asian-Americans, they pick Kumar, as in Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. It's like putting Tommy Chong in charge of the FDA or Eminem in charge of Urban relations.

Actually, from what I understand, he is quite an activist in that field. Makes more sense than my Governor being a robot that comes from the future to kill John Connor.

He's apparently taught a class on Asian-American relations at a University level before.

Hmm, I guess I stand corrected.

Besides Harold and Kumar I had only ever seen him on House and maybe an episode or two of 24.

I think that's kinda the best part about it. It was so completely unexpected and unbelievable. Kutner was always seemed like a cheerful, hopeful guy. But so many real life suicides are the exact same way. It brought an element of reality to it, and put the viewer in the same emotional unbelievability as House and his team. It's sad to see him go because he was one of my favorite characters, but it was a well done episode.

I had high hopes after last season's finale... but today's episode of House was just... uninspired filler. House without any of the other important characters, which made it rather boring, really. I do hope the season picks up a bit, though.

i was rather amused, though i am concerned with the lighter/happier direction they are taking the character. The preview of next week looks a good bit darker though, so perhaps that'll help.

Honestly, the hallucinations & such from the tail of season 5 while entertaining really chapped my hide, honestly.
