I'm not saying Cuddy was irrelevant, I just didn't miss her. Yes, she enabled House, but so did everyone else. And she's gone now and he still gets away with stuff. He strangled a man in the last episode. And what gets the cops attention? He stuffed tickets down a toilet. Vandalism = bad. Attempted murder = Who cares?
I think the show already didn't have much time left, whether Cuddy had stayed or not. The originals were leaving or gone already, some of the replacements had left. And I believe Hugh Laurie wanted out as well. It was time. It'll still suck to see it end, because I still think it's generally pretty solid.
The show was always about House and Wilson for me. That was the most enjoyable part of it, their exchanges, their pranks, their road trips.
