"You know why we spend nights at my house?"  
HUGE SPOILER (VIDEO) FOR "THE ITCH" - CHASE AND CAMERON

You have been warned.


HOLY MOTHER OF ANGST.


Um, I'm already crying? But I actually kind of totally love it?

I am such a whore for angst, man. SUCH A WHORE. And this shit is FANTASTIC.

She isn't cheating! He isn't being idiotically jealous again! This isn't even about his paranoia over her past crush on House! DUDE. This is a legitimately grown-up and mature reason to be angsting! And Chase is the one being rational, CAN YOU BELIEVE?

This is the canon relationship version of the "Act Your Age" conversation at the coffee machine. I'm not the only one who sees that, am I? He's calling her out on what he perceives to be true about her actions and feelings, and she's going on the defensive because she knows that he's at least partially right. But, like, he's not entirely right - because I think, knowing Cameron, it's more that she's terrified of what their relationship and the depth of her feelings actually means (having something to lose), thus she has been keeping him at a distance the whole time. OMFG I AM ALREADY IN LOVE WITH THIS.

AND. Um, clearly DS and KJ and JS and JM did not actually lie to us about C/C being the centric focus of this episode. I am honestly shocked. And that totally revives my faith in this episode's ability to win at life.

Excuse me one moment: AS;DKLGJHAD;FGYA;OGHAKSDDGHA;OISHFGZ;DHFGKDHFG;LZHA;DKLGFHAO;ETGH!!!!

I love that clip. A lot. Especially if in the end they work through their problem, and end with a domestic scene.

Well, they obviously aren't living together yet. So the decision to move in together has to come at the end of all of this angst. It's going to be all kinds of awesome. I am beyond excited now.

Also, Cam/Jen is totally killing me with that look on her face and the tone of her voice when she says "Why would I keep inviting you over if I didn't want you there?" KILLING ME. Ugh, she looks like he sucker-punched her with what he said about her not wanting him around. Breaking her heart to suddenly realize that that's the message he's taken from her fearful actions of self-preservation. GAH I LOVE ANGST.

I want them to end the episode with them move in together (preferably Cameron taking the initiative at the end, asking Chase to move in or something...). I'm such a sucker for domestic scenes. LOL

I love the angst too, although I need my happy ending. But...that expression on Cameron's face, and Jesse...A+ acting from both of them.

I think, despite my earlier predictions several weeks ago about the moving in, that it kind of has to be Cameron's initiative at this point. I mean, I always figured it would be but I also always figured it would be more "let's live together" and they'd end up moving in to his place, which is bigger and nicer and all kinds of better. But given this scene and what he's saying about her space and how she's always kept their relationship guarded by keeping him officially out of her personal space... the symbolism wreaks of her needing to ask him to move in there with her. Give him several drawers and an entire empty half of her closet.
moo?: Chase/Cameron - better[info]ikilledkenny86 on October 31st, 2008 09:36 am (UTC)
ok, you got me, I decided that I actually really do love that scene.

I was getting AYA vibes too and vibes from their post-FWB arc in general.
Mae Vaughan: cameron: empathy[info]mae_vaughan on October 31st, 2008 06:58 pm (UTC)
YAY! I'm so glad you turned your frowny-face from last night upside down, because THIS IS GOING TO BE ALL KINDS OF WIN. *bouncebouncebounce*

I mean, really, it's not like we didn't know some form of these issues was getting in the way of their eternal happiness, right? We've known since the minute FWB ended that he's feared he would always love her more than she could ever love him. It really had to be brought up and dealt with if there's any hope of them making real progress together.

And real progress is necessary, because I still demand a ring on a her finger by the end of May. I'm just sayin :-p

THEY ARE SO GOING TO MOVE IN TOGETHER BY THE END OF THIS EPISODE.

*FLAIL*

oh my god, it's amazing how much great acting they can put in a freakin' minute-long scene. jen & jesse just KILL me, they're that good. cameron looks so tired, and hurt/defensive at the beginning, and when chase tells her she kicks him out of her place in the morning she just BREAKS. and oh my god, chase just looks so self-deprecating yet still hopeful in that "i know i love you more than you love me, but i love you anyway" sort of way, that it just makes me want to start bawling and/or run to give him a hug. it is so AMAZING what these two can convey in such a short scene.

i normally don't love the idea behind angst, more like i love the fact that if they still have angst, they still have airtime. but in this case i love angst because it comes with AMAZING scenes such as this. it is soooooo good.

they WILL have a happy ending to this, i just know it.

Oh my god, YES. Jen/Cam is absolutely KILLING ME in that moment after he says she never even wanted him there. Her face just completely falls. I keep saying she looks like he sucker-punched her, because it's this look of shock and anguish and heartbreak over finding out that that's actually what he thinks she feels toward him. And just - GAH - her voice, OMG, the tone in her voice with "Why would I keep inviting you over if I didn't want you there?" KILL ME NOW, OKPLSTHNX. It's ripping her heart out to know she's doing that to him, making him think and feel this way and doubt her feelings for him, etc. But she's still too scared and defensive to jump right in and set him straight.

In this scene, it was Jen that had me crying with that face and that voice. I fully expect Jesse is going to make me cry at least once in this episode, too. I'm trying very, very hard to ignore the meta of it all, I swear. BUT OH MY GOD, THE ANGST. My heart. I'm in love with episode already and I've only seen one minute-long scene.

It is totally going to come out as a win at the end of this eppy. They're going to move in, and I always figured they'd move in to his place because it's fucking huge, but now I think it's going to be importantly symbolic for her to want him to move in with her instead. Ugh, I just have this incredible scene in my head of how I keep picturing that whole declaration of love/moving-in invitation/making-out in total happiness scene to go down, and LE SIGH. It's just going to win at life.

I don't even care that the Hamerons are already trying to spin this as spelling doom for C/C, because they are just ridiculous and reacting out of fear from the realization that - OH YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT - we are canon and they are not and we fucking win, bitches!

*muffles high-pitched squeal with a pillow so as not to damage her family's eardrums*

YES. I KNOW.

ok, let's just flail. *FLAILS*

you know, that scenario could very well happen! it makes a lot of sense. in my head, though, i can't shake off the idea of them moving into chase's place. and after watching this clip, i think it could still fit somehow-- like, it could turn out that cameron has a perfectly good "it's not you, it's me" reason for kicking him out of her apartment in the morning, like perhaps her apartment reminds her of all the times when she was lonely, or grieving, or hurt and she just doesn't want to associate chase and her relationship with him with all of that... at which point the idea of leaving those things behind permanently (by moving into chase's place) would come up. so yeah, i think it could go both ways, depending on the mood of the scene.

and... house/cameron shippers? huh? what are those? *whistles innocently*

OH GOOD GOD THE ANGST.

I LOVE ANGST. It is my guilty pleasure. X|
Mae Vaughan: cam/chase: always watching her[info]mae_vaughan on November 4th, 2008 03:45 am (UTC)
Mine, too! Sigh. God, I love angst so much.

Unless, you know, it only ends in tears.

But this angst won't! Ends in kisses and happy! AND IDIOTIC GRINNING!

*spins and twirls*
