It sort of makes me sad that whenever you post about why you think Cuddy is awesome, I'm finding myself thinking the exact opposite, and I'm finding more and more reasons to dislike her. And that makes me sad, because I want to like her, and I used to like her, and I don't want to dislike any of them. *sigh*
That *is* sad, but then, you're not happy with certain directions the show has been taking with her re. the baby arc, the House/Cuddy arc and, more importantly, with House's character arc. You've also been unhappy with the show's not-so-subtle shift towards ensembleness. These are matters of taste, and really cannot be helped as such! I *heart* that they explicitly spoke about Cuddy's superwoman complex, because that's one of the most attractive things about her character for me, not to mention the fact it also ties into her eternal, at times stupid optimism - another feature that I cannot resist. I enjoy the possibility of a less miserable House and a not-dead House at the end of the show (the latter would be a dampener as far as I'm concerned). So...
