Cam is just the worst person ever

Go cheat on your husband some more. Then go tell someone you used to be best friends with, to leave the project SHE brought you into. Cuz she was gonna toss Joe aside (FOR YOU), just cuz you're in love with him again. Seriously, she's an immature child who will NEVER grow up emotionally. And I sincerely HOPE Donna ruins everything Cameron tries to create from here on out. Cam just let her go. Look, Donna was sick of Cameron saying "yea, well, it's my company", every time Cam disagreed with Donna. So Donna showed her "uh, no, it's not bi*ch". And asked for a vote on her idea, and everyone there agreed! So waaaah, she left. She wasn't cast aside. SHE LEFT. On her own. Cuz she didn't get her way. Now she's bitter, and can't let go of her dam grudge. So yea, I SO hope Donna ruins anything Cameron does from here on out. CAMERON.....IS.....WORTHLESS. Write her a*s off the show already!! Please!! Introduce a better character. One that I done wanna throw my remote thru the screen, anytime their annoying a*s face is on the screen.

Jothos, Cam is my favorite character on this show; she is utterly lovely and beautiful; I love the way Mackenzie Davis portrays her!

[–] paul-2219 8 years ago

You like her character because she's attractive? OK.
I always hated her character, but up until the last couples scenes I was starting to like her. She seemed like she was maturing. She had forgiven Joe and Boz and was starting to act (and dress:) more maturely, and at the end even admitted that much of the things that went wrong were partly her fault.
And then she tosses Donna out of HER project because she was willing to let Joe go if he was bothering her?
What?

Hey, half the people watching this show do so because they have the hots for Joe. And they don't hold his promiscuity against him. But he's a guy.

I enjoy watching HACF and having beautiful women like Cam and Donna certianly doesn't lessen my enjoyment.

Ha, I'm not entirely sure of the second part, but definitely agree with the first part! Lee is mighty easy on the eyes, plus he's such a great actor and is magnetic in everything I've seen him in so far.

Yeah, but you really need to check your priorities if you love a character largely because of the way they look - that is the point.

I think Joe is attractive, but when I re-watch the show, he makes me want to kiss him upside the head with an aluminum baseball bat on the regular.

[–] Information-Police (4889) 8 years ago

Yes, I watch it because I'm so hopelessly smitten with her.

[–] LoBo_77018 8 years ago

At least she was honest. She's learned to express herself instead of holding things in, causing resentments and acting out. Shows personal growth IMO.

[–] Sluggr-3 8 years ago

Yes, she is now stabbing people in the front as opposed to the back. Such growth.

Throwing fits definitely shows growth. Right.

Seriously, she's an immature child who will NEVER grow up emotionally.

But didn't she do exactly that. Instead of making an emotional decision (= all are together like nothing happened) she analyses what went wrong the last time. Which was that her and Donna were on entirely different pages when it came to communication. Don't forget that Donna, although her initial decision seemed rational, tried to stab Cameron in the back before. While it was Cam who went entirely nuts, it was Donna who let the situation escalate, using the same measures she chose when trying to bribe Donna into the project.

Now that her pixie look and mentality seems to be gone for good, mabye she does not need the grown-up looking over her shoulder anymore. I think her character got a lot more interesting in those two episodes. She seems to feel less entitled for being the former prodigy and seems to have a clearer vision what she wants, the two factors which made her leave Mutiny in the first place.

But haven't we just seen that Donna and Gordon were on two different pages throughout their relationship throughout their courtship and marriage when Donna admitted she pretended to like camping? Never mind her sabotaging Gordon's dream of bjilding a computer of his own by telling her father to cut off the money. Donna is a lot like Joe, only instead of telling people to hit for the fences, she tells them to settle for mediocrity.

Come to think of it, Donna and Joe have bedn antagonists since the moment that garage door opened in season one. We just took a while to notice.

Gordon was not mentally stabile at that time. But I guess that is part of the character: being the grown-up.

Maybe that makes her indeed the anti-Joe, but I don't think being reasonable and having realistic goals is a bad thing. Every dreamer needs people to grab them by the feet before they are flowing away and get lost in lala-land.

[–] Randy1949 8 years ago

Do you mean he was not mentally stable at the time Donna went behind his back ( for his own god) and let the air out of his tires? Or did he start drinking heavily afterward? You'll notice that both Gordon and Cameron cooled on Donna after the revelation of the little white lies. It's cumulative.

There's nothing worse than having settled for less when you know in your heart you could have done better. I felt for Walter White, and I felt for Gordon, especially when he said that insanity is doing the same old thing and expecting a different result. And again, it was learning about a white lie that was not all that serious, but it probably was the death knell of Gordon's marriage. It mirrored what happened later with Cameron and Donna. Donna simply isn't genuine. She'll say one thing and do another She'll be sweet to your face but diss you in the car ride home.

I actually like women in real life a little less because of Cameron Howe. Especially manic pixie drrream rrriot grrrls-types like Cam'ron. They're the worst and they need to disappear from the show.

[–] catbookss 8 years ago

I actually like women in real life a little less because of Cameron Howe.

Yeah, that's rational. Because of one fictional character on a show, you actually dislike real life women a little less. Sure.

Cameron is right about one thing about Donna, the latter is quick to toss aside people. Cameron was on the verge of forgiving Donna until that conversation about Joe. Let's forget Cam for a moment and think about Joe. Why is Donna so ready to get rid of Joe whilst he hasn't done anything to her and where he had the main vision of their new project? I too wouldn't trust someone like that.
