Somewhere in season 2 I realized that a huge portion of Cameron was just "say something needlessly hostile or combative, then emphasize it by making your eyes really wide"

View on HN

She was alright in season 1. She was young and inexperienced and she got too much shit from other people. In season 2/3 she has money and her own company and anytime anyone with more experience than her gives her even the smallest amount of advice she responds like someone is trying to break into her house. Worse, when someone has a good idea that isnt hers, she shuts it down

The point, to me, was that it’s a show about flawed people. Cameron’s flaws were frustrating sometimes, but so were Joe’s, Gordon’s, Donna’s flaws. She was chasing something… (the thing that computers get us to? Connection?) and was constantly worried someone was going to wreck it by taking it in the wrong direction. Like what happened in s01 with the interactive chat based OS she was building.

I dont remember donna having any flaws, shes just surrounded by morons and babies

When donna pointed out how popular chat was, cameron wanted to kill it because it wasnt her idea, even if it was perfectly in line with her vision for what computers could be. To me she's just an arrogant narcissist

Donna was arrogant and that caused the friction between her and Cameron, I found Donna in the end to be soulless and awful.

Did you tap out before the end? We spend a lot of time with donna’s flaws after the mutiny ipo sitch.

I think i got to like season 3 or 4?
