Re: 157

[takemeback.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. I feel dumb for asking this, but what is it about the meth incident that is so bothersome? Was it sleeping with Chase? Because I always interpreted that as him taking advantage of her -- or at the very least, he was as much to blame for that as she was. Would you mind clarifying? (It'll actually be really helpful for me because I'm planning to write a fic about Cameron for femgenficathon that occurs during the HIV scare, so I'd love more ideas/opinions to tackle.)

Re: 157

I just thought it was completely ridiculous and entirely out of character. I can't even begin to blame Chase because I'm far too busy blaming the writers. I think it's completely unrealistic that she'd be that receptive to the suggestion of a dying man because she might have HIV. Cameron is obsessed with ethics. Stealing crystal meth to get high and have stoned sex is not a realistic coping mechanism.

There are other things about the writing that have annoyed me but that really eclipses everything else. The only other thing I can remember is that I'm annoyed at how they keep dropping hints that she still loves House even though she's saying oh no, mean things to him.

Again, normally, I'd say that Chase took advantage of her, but instead I decided that the whole thing was stupid and didn't happen. It was the only way to enjoy the show.

Oh, I totally get that. I agree that it was very OOC and it completely shocked me. But I guess I see that as all the more reason not to sympathize with Cameron-bashers and not to hate her myself, because I (like you) recognize it as bad writing. I did, however, hate Chase for a long time after that, which in retrospect was probably unfair. It was, like you said, an all-around poorly-conceived storyline.

Re: 157

I didn't like Chase beforehand, so his part in the matter change much to me. Smarmy bastard.

I think the natural reaction to bad writing is shock and anger, but I do think it's forgiveable to misdirect that at a character in extreme cases like this. In a perfect word people would be more aware of bad writing even in series they like, but for most people if they like it then they assume that the writing is good and the writers know what they are doing.
