I still haven’t seen the last week’s episode (was in UK) and since I don’t care much these days if House does indeed get spoiled I had to pop over and see what Erik and the rest of the gang had to say… good grief what I didn’t expect that it would be so bad.

Ok cannot write much since I do have to see the show first, but I’ll pop by later with the comments

Cameron was the only one who kept House on an even keel, and i think the writers have totally lost the plot. The way that they wrote Cameron out leaves me totally baffled. It was a demolition job. I wish JMO all the best in the future.

Oh well, one less show to watch. So bye bye House.

I have been feeling for the past 2 seasons that the medical cases are props for the soap opera aspects of the show. I’ve lost count how many patients have commented on how hot Cuddy is or how much House wants hers and it seems that every patient Thirteen or Taub see is an anvil for their own lives.

Nowadays Wilson’s nothing more but a cheerleader for House/Huddy, a guy who just happens to have an office in a big hospital.
Cameron was just (ab)used as a tool to bring other storylines into motion.

The writers ignore both Jennifer Morrison and her fans by getting rid of Cameron so quickly and incoherently. Jennifer played a big part in the show’s success, it’s disrespectful how she’s being treated.

The difference is that Cameron committed Euthanasia, not point blank murder. While both are technically killing someone, what Cameron did is common-place in dealing with dying patients. Ezra was dying, and it would have been prolonged and painful without Cameron’s help. Chase on the other hand, knew that African guy would have survived if he had not deliberately treated the wrong diagnosis, while KNOWING he was wrong.
He might as well put a gun to his head and shot point blank.

There used to be subtlety and subtext on this show. Now every week we’re hit with anvils as Wilson pushes House toward Cuddy, and random guest characters comment on House and Cuddy’s feelings for one another. You know, just in case we didn’t get it. I think if the House and Cuddy chemistry was natural and organic, they wouldn’t need to shove it down our throats. But maybe that’s just me. All I know is, I didn’t tune into this show to see who would sleep with whom each week or any of this will they/won’t they nonsense. I tuned in to see how the characters grew and related with each other and with their patients, as they struggled to find a cure for the patient of the week. I liked the depth that used to be there. I liked when the comic relief came from the clinic patients and not House’s obnoxious games as he manipulates everyone in his path.

The show was already circling the drain as far as I was concerned. Getting rid of Cameron is the final flush.

Kidding. Was it only me who felt House was intent on breaking ‘em up? Or was he just trying to show Chase & Cameron something they missed? Why was he so proud of his 3/4, when essentially he got just 2.5? He has a staff of 4 now? On many levels, it seemed House went back to his pre-Mayfield days!! What about the doc @ Mayfield, is he done? Cameron is. Who’s next to be thrown away??

Also, is it just me or does everybody feel that the medical cases have become just mere props??

They re-wrote who Cameron is in order to justify getting her off the show. No wonder Jennifer Morrison is confused.

I will miss the character and share your worro=ies about the show.

This decision doesn’t make sense on so many levels: the ethical dilemmas Cameron brought to the medical situations, the contrast to many of other characters on the show, how strong Cameron had grown after 5 seasons, and the number of people who loved the character and had been asking for her back for the last 2 years.

The storyline of Chase losing her, and House too, would have been much stronger if she were still at PPTH working in another department, reminding the viewer what Chase had lost. I think Wilson would also have benefitted from having her around by being given more to do than just primp Huddy. It was to Cameron in season 2 that Wilson revealed how hard it was for him to lose a patient he was attached to and Cameron was the closest thing he had to a friend at PPTH other than House.

Whatever the reason for getting rid of Cameron, it’s not because her departure makes for a better, more complex show.
