Oh, Sven ...
Mallli_kite:
Likable scoundrels are a staple of fiction. There are even a few villains that are likable, at least on the surface.
If it wasn't true, con men and comedians would have a hard time of it :D

Sven seems likable but not very good. Faye seems good but not very likable.

Good point, and my description of Sven goes along. The apparent character development makes him more interesting and likable. But he's still not the kind of person in reality that I would want to be around much. He might make life entertaining at times, but the negatives would be a problem. Sven reminds me a little of a buddy of mine. He was quite a womanizer in our younger days, and I occasionally felt uncomfortable around his girlfriends, because I KNEW their wasn't going to be much of a long term relationship.
But he eventually changed. He's been married for almost 15 years and has a great wife and two adorable daughters. That last fact does make me believe a little in karma!

Dear that entire quote tunnel:
You suck.
<3,
me

I think you suck more for giving a very uncreative response.
Really being mean for no reason isn't that amusing.

I'm going to print that out and stick it on my wall.
Then every morning I can wake up and see it and feel the special warm feeling that it makes me feel inside.
Cartilage Head:
Oh you guys are just so snarky.

Unless two adorable daughters is your code for "tiny, horrid harpies-in-training that make his every breath a weariness," I'm not sure I understand how this development affirms karma. Wait, maybe you mean "sexy, brainless little tarts guaranteed to attract predators like himself." That's more like Sins of the Fathers, though. You know, 'til the, hell, I can't recall what generation, but it always seemed a bit excessive.
To me, karma for Sven is Faye finding someone else after he's realized 'this one' means something to him. I.E. Sven is the only one to suffer, at least long-term.
Or maybe not. I admit I don't really get karma, being neither Hindu not Buddhist.
