Good Lord, I read it earlier today and thought the same thing.
The writer makes great points. Very mature view. And nice to see people recognition that Lisa has much more to give than what she was offered to do on House.

but their romantic potential represented the human potential, in spite of overwhelming complexity, for happiness and redemption.

I had hoped that the show would attempt to portray a relationship where two independent people try to give themselves romantically to one another without sacrificing who they are as individuals. I feel like that’s a real issue among modern couples and something not explored in movies or TV, especially not network TV. Instead the show opted to change the characters of House and Cuddy, who morphed from their fiercely independent selves into the “Huddy” amalgam that underage fans fawn over and create YouTube montages too. It wasn’t an adult or modern relationship; it was the sort of fantastical hokie rom-com crap you’d find on Grey’s Anatomy.

At the end of the day, though I’ll miss her, I’m glad she’s leaving because line cooks are modern day tragic figures and Edelstein has Anthony Bourdain talent.

Damn, that's good! Great find, Isa. I think you've started to reinvent us. ♥
