please tell me she doesn't fall victim to rabid fandom hatred like Jo did... Fans were miffed, at least partly. I don't tend to participate much in Bones fandom as that might make me annoyed but I'm pretty sure even the folks who didn't like her at the beginning of S2, eventually warmed up to her. And the biggest Bones comm on LJ had a policy about Cam/Tamara (actress who plays her) bashing - that it's okay to dislike Cam but no bashing would be allowed in the comm whatsoever. But like I said, pretty sure that whole hate thing was a temporary problem. If there are folks who're watching S3 and hating Cam, they should go see professional help about it. :P
I've never understood the tendency to automatically dislike a character based on the generic role they play. Occassionally the characters (OTP interlopers and new love interests) end up deserving the hatred, but usually, they aren't deserving of it. This is actually a problem I have with the dorama fandom, too, but at least there a higher percentage of the characters deserve it.
Still, at least it seems TPTB really gave the character a chance...unlike Supernatural.
I'm more thrown by Hodgins/Angela...they're very cute and they work well together, but they went from no signs of romantic interest whatsoever in S1(and his being apparently involved in a happy relationship) to his openly crushing on her in S2.
They had some flirtation in S1 - or so the actors claimed on the S2 DVD.. They basically improv'ed it and the writers noticed and decided to take it somewhere. I quite honestly don't care much about H/A.. They're cute but don't even give me the seconary OTP warm fuzzies..
SPN seems like an awfully ungrateful show when it comes to het pairings, yes. :P
Here, oh, the writers love her and continue to love her and she gets some fabulous scenes this season.
