Cameron's alright. I mean her flaws are pretty surface-level.

We're not supposed to like Cameron right? If we are than the writers have done a terrible job at making her remotely likeable. I feel like they want me to be rooting for Cameron but its the exact opposite. If Donna has to destroy Gordon and Joe in the process of destroying Cameron I wont be completely happy but I'll accept it.

Cameron han't been well characterized if they sincerely meant for her to be the tragic underdog of S3. The only scenes she shows any traces of likeability are with Joe, her sworn enemy, and she treats her actual support base like poo poo while being an antisocial spaz. She's very seldom in the right other than when they rig up those moments of flashforward hindsight, which never feel earned simply because of how inflexible and bad at reasoning and emotional capacity she is.

The most I've liked Cameron since probably season 1 was when she kicked Donna to the curb in the S3 finale.

Cameron is a walking daddy issues cliche and her best work is with Toby Huss when it boils over. Also Toby Huss rules.

I like Donna and Gordon a lot, especially when they are talking poo poo about Cameron's husband and his bigwig job at Sega.

It was hard to watch Gordon miss all the signals in that dinner and wine scene with Donna.

To be honest, and maybe i misread the scene, but I took it as 'Gordons moved on, he really doesn't care for Donna anymore'.

Like, I don't think I saw another scene where he was longing for her or something. Or I'm dumb cause I watched a bunch of these on the subway and missed it. But I just took it as 'yeah we're friends now, who can you recommend me to' like a normal person can be with an ex they're forced to see once and a while.

Also, I kinda wished this was the last season because it felt like a nice sendoff for everyone. The '5 years later the gang gets back together and they work it out - fade to black' worked for me.

I'm kinda glad they dropped gordo's brain thing because I was really worried it was going to be a big focus this season when it turned out he was talking to no one (when they found it was unplugged). I was happy they just dropped it.
