I liked Cutthroat Bitch. She was my favorite prolly from the get-go. I do not like Kutner or Taub. I also thought it was dumb that Cuddy was all "You have to hire a woman," because if it's not in the budget for three, it's not in the budget. I vaguely like 13, but honestly? I don't think she and the promise of 30 seconds once an episode of Wilson is really enough to keep me watching. Kutner and Taub flat out do not interest me at all. Everybody else they got rid of was more interesting, more likable, or more intriguing in some way. We know nothing about these two, which, while probably done to keep us guessing about who they were going to cut and save interesting stuff for after they were hired, was dangerous because I don't think anybody feels a connection to them.

So yes. Oh, plus, the case just seemed to stop there after a while. And where did this diagnosis come from, we ask? Because we weren't so much shown as not. How did it fit? Because what? We weren't so much shown as not.

All new people, mostly those nobody cares about, and no new episode until January? Fox is going to have to do a lot of work to pull everybody back in then.

Yeah, okay, so the real reason I didn't want Amber to go was because I needed somebody to slash Thirteen with and she made it almost too easy. Sue me.

I agree so much, expecially on the last sentence.

I think what TPTB were/are trying to do is to have the new team be like the characters that were before. Thirteen is obviously Cameron and I get some kind of vibe that Taub is like Chase, though considering I constantly mix Kutner and Plastic Surgeon up I may be wrong.

I really didn't like Cutthroat Bitch, just because she seemed to be a one-show pony to me. She definitely had potential, and it would have been great to see her more compassionate side. Just little things like bringing the fellows donuts at the cemetary. So she was late, big deal, but dude, donuts.

And Thirteen's big 'secret'. Okay, it sucks, but I don't see it impacting much on the show. If she starts getting symptoms, then what? She'll either have to leave because it'll hit in a three-episode arc or they'll drag it out and beat it like the dead horse her ~*~mysteriousness~*~ already is.

Frankly, the whole arc was dragged out for too long and it become clear because the writers obviously didn't know how to handle so many characters. Big Love is one character I'd love to have seen more of. And especiallySelmak Old Guy.

But those are just my two cents.

Ohyeah. And I agree with the Cameron, though I think Kutner is more of Chase, because Kutner has been explicitly associated with House, just like Chase. I'm having a harder time with Taub, because I made Amber be Foreman in my head because of the car-washing/article-stealing parallel. So idk about him, though he's probably supposed to be the Foreman character.

She definitely had potential

That's what I latched on to, I think. Why does she want the job so badly? I don't believe that it's just because she doesn't like losing. Even if it is, what made her like that? She had enough of a teaser there that I went "Ooh, character exploration".

I don't see it impacting much on the show.

It really can't. The plot line is over, unless the writers don't come back and they have to resort to "OMG, symptoms! No, she's okay. OMG, symptoms! No, it's something else." Because the second she gets real symptoms, she can't really do medicine anymore; abstract thinking and cognitive flexibility are what diagnostics is, plus the chorea would prevent her from actually doing any procedures. She'd be worthless, because even before the symptoms progress enough to be debilitating, she'd have to quit under pressure from legal or else be sued by every single person she ever looked at/touched/consulted on.

Yess to Big Love and Old Guy. There were obviously too many people, but BL was one that I would have liked to stay. He's too. . . incorruptible because of the religion, I think, is why they dumped him. We want crises like Cameron's where she goes "OMG, I am like him now!!1one!"

I liked cut-throat bitch too, and not just because she had the same name as me! She was maybe the only interesting character (besides "big love, who is already gone) and I just hate 13 with a fiery passion and yeah, she is not Cameron and she never will be.

I agree, the Cuddy thing kind of sucked as well, and left me confused I dunno. And yeah, the patient and the diagnosis just got lost in everything else. I'm really glad I watch Bones also, but I miss Cameron like hella bad. The writers need to stop striking and figure out how to salvage their show.
