On the other hand, there is nothing I enjoy more than full-blown Cameron hysteria. I am easily amused. Same here. If Cameron did not already exist I would have to invent her.

LightMyCandle- 03-02-2008

I just base my theories on Cameron's past behavior, which is a good indicator for future behavior. Yep, and everytime I try to give her the benefit of the doubt she pulls some crap like what NightOwl stated. It would be amusing if it weren't so freaking annoying. If it was meant to be amusing it would be. But I really believe we're supposed to find it hot, sweet, or like they have some deep connection or something.

And I didn't see House complaining much.

And I don't care if House complains about it or not. That certainly doesn't mean I have to like it. I just think it's weird that a girl tries to turn nearly every situation where her boss is hurt in some way into a sexual thing for herself.

Uh, I saw absolutely nothing hot, sexy or anything else remotely sexual about the scene with Cameron cleaning House's wounds in Merry Little Christmas. I don't think it was supposed to be at all erotic. I guess if viewers saw that still, it's probably an argument in favor of the two actors having some undeniable onscreen chemistry together. But no one, least of all the characters, were supposed to come away with "turned on" as a motivator in that scene. YMMV.

I will gladly watch Cameron fawn over House if it keeps "Thirteen" off the screen...and I despise Ham, so that's saying something.

Uh, I saw absolutely nothing hot, sexy or anything else remotely sexual about the scene with Cameron cleaning House's wounds in Merry Little Christmas. I don't think it was supposed to be at all erotic. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be and maybe it was, I don't know for sure. It could very well be my paranoid mind that goes into overdrive whenever Cameron's onscreen. I know that some Hameron fans saw it as hot and/or sweet, so maybe it was intentional or maybe it's their overactive shipper minds (that's not supposed to be an insult, my shipper mind is way overactive, just not with that ship.) This is starting to get off topic, the point is, for me, since MLC I have learned to be constantly on guard and cautious of Cameron, it takes some of the sting out of her antics. Back on topic, I know some people think House couldn't be hurt on his bike because there would be other injuries, but how do we know that there aren't? They just specifically talked about memory loss, so obviously there's a head injury but that doesn't mean there aren't other minor injuries. I wonder if someone staying with House through the night at home to watch for unconciousness will be where Cuddy or Wilson could come in? Hmm, wouldn't they just keep him in the hospital since he works there anyway and if he refuses to stay there, I can't imagine he's just going to let Wilson or Cuddy stay with him to keep an eye on him.

Well if he's still a bit shaky maybe. If not that didn't stop them and Cameron from showing up in MLC. Re. MLC I agree with bailey that Cameron's visit wasn't meant to be an erotically charged scene. But I do think it was supposed to show us Cameron's desire to connect with and have an influence on House while playing to her wounded bird syndrome. That could have played into some of the Ham shipper feelings.

Had it been anyone else who came to see him, they would have done the same. The scene was sweet and endearing. I'll leave hot for another scene.

LightMyCandle- 03-02-2008

Well if he's still a bit shaky maybe. That's true. If this is an accident then it's something that happened to him, not something that he did to himself, like the knife and the blood. If he is really shaken up he might want one of them around, albeit in his own Houselike way.

Namaste- 03-02-2008

I actually like the idea of the accident being something related to a slip and fall. We typically see House getting around fairly well -- if in pain. But in fact, in relying on a cane he'd be susceptible to falling for much more mundane reasons, and I like the idea that we the viewers would get a reminder of that. (Which could also lead to frustration with people treating him like a "cripple," rather than as a brilliant jerk, which I would imagine would frustrate him.) Besides, if it were a motorcycle accident, then we'd just end up with an arc of Wilson whining at House to get rid of it.

Taiga- 03-02-2008

Instead of an arc with people whining at him that it's his own fault he slipped and fell because he's an irresponsible drug-addicted miserable misanthrope? Hey, I wouldn't put it past them. Come to think of it, their very first reaction to House's amnesia may be to believe he's faking it.

LightMyCandle- 03-02-2008

But in fact, in relying on a cane he'd be susceptible to falling for much more mundane reasons, and I like the idea that we the viewers would get a reminder of that. I know a man in his late fifties who has used a cane since he was in high school. He still occasionally gets in a tangle, a trip or a slip (even with sneakers). In fact, there was a guy here on HHoW who mentioned how treacherous a well-waxed floor or icy parking lot can be. (I do apologize that I don't recall your name, but I remember that you use a cane and you have blue-green eyes. :) ) So I would very much like to see a bit more of House's daily reality, and his reaction and (probably angry resistance) to it. And since we're talking about someone who is in pain, well buzzed on Vicodin, and knocks back a few when he's home, it seems unreasonable that he doesn't take a slip or a stumble now and then. Even if he was athletic, pre-infarction. Besides, we haven't seen the motorcycle (or even House toting the helmet) for so long, it would be rather weird to reintroduce the bike, just to have House wipe out on it. It would make sense for someone to point out that a lot of narcotics, combined with several bourbons, is not a good idea for a man with limited mobility. But please, not a whole arc! As for faking it, I was thinking more that Wilson would suspect House of pulling something like the brain cancer drug stunt or yet another knife in the socket type "exploration".

Even if he was athletic, pre-infarction. I agree with WaryCary and Namaste here. I'm surprised we haven't seen him slip more, particularly when out in the snow/icy walkways. My mom walked with a cane for a very long time (both knees were replaced one year after the other) and she slipped once in a while (and not a drop of alcohol in her either) so, it would be realistic I think to see it happen once in a blue moon. It's also really difficult for her to get up if she does fall, granted both her knees are worthless. My money's on a slip of some sort, either on an icy walkway or (better yet) because of something Kutner left on the floor or something. I don't know why, but I would just find it so appropriate if it's at the hands of Kutner. His character is such a sweety (let's all say awwww)...just imagine how he'd respond. I wonder what could be so critical that he forgets though. Sigh, only how many more months left to wait?
