Tanman:
uh... Marigold has lost some serious cred with me if she can't watch her shows on that supercomputer of hers.
/watches more tv on laptop and phone than on his actual home theater setup.
Border Reiver:
Perhaps she would prefer a larger screen?
I feel sorry for Marigold here, what with her unintended rival out there doing what she had at least thought she wanted to do and feeling trapped in the room. I mean what if she needs to visit the loo? Of course knowing the two of them were coming over Marigold could have left earlier.

Established, she doesn't keep a phone in her room because that distracts from World of Warcraft. Not too much of a stretch to imagine that sucker's exclusively for WoW, with just enough left over for some Potter fanfic.
But I know what you mean. I'm beginning to wonder why I spent money on a TV.

It is their happiness I think is artificial. I could understand Faye being a bit confused after Angus planted a kiss on her, but I don't know why she didn't recover her senses after a couple of dates and tell him that she's just not interested. In anyone.

Because that's not where she's at now. That's where she was when she met Marten, but she has grown and changed since then. A big part of that was her little what-da-ya-call-it with Sven.
She's ready to try getting back into the dating pool, and I think she's bathing in the excitement that comes with a new relationship.
This just illustrates why I don't get all the Angus hate. Angus might have been a one note gag when he was first introduced, but he has developed since then. So has Faye. In fact all of Jeph's characters grow as the comic progresses, but many people act as if the characters are stuck at comic #750 where Faye and Angus are concerned.

Mostly because she IS interested in Angus, and has explicitly stated that she really likes him (in the recentish underpants arc). She was interested in dating in general much earlier than this, telling Doctor Corrine that she wanted to be able to kiss boys but didn't feel ready to do so. She began to overcome those boundaries with Sven (perhaps not quite as she had intended, but she did it nonetheless) and is continuing to do so now with Angus. I can't say for sure how the relationship will end up, but Faye is genuinely interested, as is Angus with her. I'm looking forward to seeing how Jeph progresses their story.

This. I don't understand why people dislike the guy so much; as akronnick points out, he HAS been fleshed out a lot since being introduced, and the relationship provides plenty of scope for further development. He's honestly one of my favourite characters in the comic.
