You Did It, Didn't You?
I was originally planning to make an Entry of Foreman Appreciation as an apology to Foreman for taking so long to fall in love with him compared to the other characters - I just happened to watch the episodes in which he made Cameron sad first and remained rather too stuck on that first impression of him, but have since with the help of you guys realised how Incredibly Awesome he is - but then I watched 'Autopsy' and Chase hijacked it. Sorry, Foreman. 'Autopsy' spoilers behind the cut.
My thought process regarding Chase lately has been something like this:
Right, my love of Chase is excessive and ridiculous. Clearly I'm judging his failings too lightly because the first thing that really made me take notice of him was the incredible pathos of his attempt at reconciliation with his father. I only took so long to come around to Foreman because my first impression of him was of That Guy Who Made Adorable Girl Sad, so obviously my first impressions are having too much influence on my perception of Chase, too. I mean, he's really not all that nice, is he? And he's selfish, and he can be very immature and irresponsible. I'm allowed to like him, but I think I should look at him more objectively and, y'know, tone down the insane fangirlism. NOW TO WATCH 'AUTOPSY' LOL.
And now, of course, I love Chase more than ever. Oh dear. That episode probably shouldn't have reinforced my fannishness, but it did. I would never have expected Chase kissing a nine-year-old to be cause for me to love and adore him, but it wasn't his fault - well, okay, he gave in, but he certainly didn't have any twisted sexual reasons - and he did it completely for her, and I loved the way he was so uncomfortable and couldn't look at her afterwards, and his subconscious actions and awkwardness the next morning, and his little smile when she said she liked hearing him talk (and don't we all?), and giving her the tickets (awww!), and the hug, and oh my God I couldn't stop laughing at the team's reactions when they found out. AHAHAHA. That last one isn't really a reason for my fangirling Chase, aside from the indirectly-causing-me-immense-amusement thing; I just had to mention it because it was hilarious.
I AM FANGIRLING OVER A TWENTY-SEVEN-YEAR-OLD DOCTOR WHO KISSED HIS NINE-YEAR-OLD PATIENT WHAT THE HELL SERIOUSLY WHAT THE HELL.
I want to make it very clear that I am not saying 'OMG CHASE/ANDIE OTP'. I did find the kiss itself slightly disturbing (although, as Chase protested later, 'it wasn't sick' - it clearly wasn't remotely sexual, I think I was made more uncomfortable through sympathy for Chase's situation than by any sexual connotations), but his unease and his resistance and why he gave in in the end meant that I couldn't help loving him for it. Even though he's often selfish, here he was genuinely sorry for her and willing to endanger his job in order to grant this dying girl's slightly weird wish. Also, the way he came to really care about her and that bit at the end with him seeing her out was just adorable. It was.
Because I feel guilty for continuing to neglect Foreman, I will mention that there was a shot of him near the end of that episode in which he struck me as extremely hot. Discussion of his awesomeness must wait for another day.

Aw, the Chase kiss was just cute. He's a bit of a dork.
