If by "fucked" you mean "the long delayed realization of a dream", then yes.
Faye's whole character has been off since Angus McBoring swooped in from nowhere as a viable boink partner, and if he gets put on the allosaurus bus, then everything gets a shake-up and a fresh new coat of paint. And dare I hope for it, the return of Sven as regular supporting character?
Whew. Take a deep breath. No raising expectations until Toto-boy is out the door.
Carl-E:
No. Just... no, she's not going back to Sven. I don't even think as a fuckbuddy, that's just too unhealthy a move for both of them.
On different note, I like Angus. I know I'm pretty much alone in this, but I think I know why.
I like wit. I like witty people, I like to hang with them, I've developed a pretty sharp one myself over the years. But a witty person is fundamentally a deeply flawed person - to develop that capacity, you need to be absurdly self-centered. No one is naturally witty, it's something that must be developed, and that development is done through a nearly constant internal monologue. Keeping that going, and fresh, is time and energy consuming, and you have to care about it an awful lot. Which means you value your own cleverness above others. It doesn't preclude close relations with others, but it can certainly be a stumbling block.
Oh, and most people who don't appreciate a wit view one as an insufferable ass. :psyduck:

Faye Whitaker of sector 2814, you have the ability to instill great fear..
Jazzmaster:
If Faye and Sven start dating it's going to be pretty awful. Sven obviously has no idea what love actually is, and is simply confusing his inability to cope with being rejected as having some sort of meaningful emotional attachment.
I mean, I could be wrong, but I'm probably not.
And I was just thinking...Faye said he's "dropping his whole life", when really, he's only dropping her. He's never been particularly attached to anyone else in the QC cast besides Faye, and this is what he's always wanted. But try telling that to somebody who has obvious issues with abandonment...

Great observation. It definitely manifested itself in the way Angus continued to deflect Faye's horrible attitude, as well as in his responses to her every time they had a chat about "Us".
Originally, I saw Angus as a guy who cared about Faye so much that he was willing to continue to put up with/stand up to her in order to "win" her, and it seemed even more endearing when he actually pulled it off. But now that I read your post, it does make me think something else might've been going on. It's possible he was also enjoying the thrill of the chase, and the way it made his ego feel when he Got the Girl. I'm not saying Angus doesn't care about Faye at all, but the way he persisted with her was probably due in large part to some emotional indifference and lack of attachment to the outcome, which is an easier state to be in when you're a bit self-centered to begin with.

I haven't been on the thread this week because ive been busy (and tapatalk has been acting up) but I pretty much came here to say this, lol. I never "got" angus and I'd be glad to see the character hit the dust bin.
