You're not coming off as stand-offish or combative. And I think the subject of mental health representation in the media is a big trigger for *both* of us. But no, I don't see our discussion as an argument.
I don't know that it will or won't work; it will depend on how they handle it. Do I think they will handle it well? Probably not, but it's not impossible. In fact, what might lead to House's "emotional/mental breakdown" is the idea that he never saw it coming, and that would make him crazy, as the person who knows everything all the time, and that he'll never find/understand the "reason", or "cause", which negates his entire raison d'etre.
I *do* trust that it won't be a *Surprise suicide!* without significant after-effects, which may shed more light on it.
