Re: The stupid question thread

[philstar22]

Sorry, I stopped watching a couple of seasons ago. I just finally got fed up and wasn't enjoying watching anymore.

I've loved Cam right from her introduction, though, because she was strong and unapologetically in charge. She understands how to get things done.

I'm sad they've resorted to mood swings, though, because that doesn't fit with her character at all.

I could understand part of it, given Arastoo's back in Iran for unhappy reasons. However, it seemed rather exaggerated even with that in mind. One of the reasons I've been looking for a place to talk about it is to see if anyone has any theories (good/bad/cracktastic/whatever) that explain the intensity of these swings.

As an addendum, I can understand liking Cam for those reasons. IMO, I think that her character might be too good for the show (and by extension much of the fandom).

Re: The stupid question thread

Possibly. I think it is particularly telling how much hate she got when she was first introduced pretty much just because she dared to question Brennan and because she used to date Booth and was dating him again.

That being said, I think in general all the characters were better in earlier seasons. Booth was always meh for me, but I used to love Brennan. Getting together with Booth totally ruined her character, though. All of a sudden she was always wrong, he was always right, and of course she would be the primary and nurturing parent because she was the mother even though Booth had always been the more nurturing one and the one who wanted kids. It was like she had been replaced with a pod character.

Crap. Now I want to see some sort of Bones/Stepford Wives crossover fic. Or something. I feel the need to apologize for that little tangent.

On a more serious note, you bring up a good point about her introduction. I've seen some of the earlier episodes when I go to my in-laws' place for dinner, and Bones being awkward was definitely far more enjoyable. I think Cam and Hodgins have been a bit more consistently characterized throughout the show's run, but that's just based on piecing together episodes I've caught sprodically throughout the years. Cam, though, has generally been the voice of reason and sometimes the most logical out of anyone.

Re: The stupid question thread

Cam to me was always the most balanced. She understood both logic and emotion and knew how to talk to people while at the same time understood the science. Brennan was the most purely logical, but too much so to the point that she didn't understand emotions or other people's viewpoints. She's mostly lost that aspect of her character except in relation to religion.

Hodgins has been pretty consistant, and Angela has mostly. Although, Angela got annoying more recently at times because when it came to emotion vs. logic, her emotional viewpoint was always right.

That as a whole has really become the message of the show. Emotion trumps logic, smart but unemotional people have to learn and grow while more emotional and less logical people don't. They've even had scenes with ghosts and things that prove that spiritual stuff is objectively true. It just got frustrating.
