After all, he's just kissed his girlfriend, told her he loved her and he's off for a once in a lifetime chance at going for his dream. Its also the smile of a guy who enjoys discombobulating his girlfriend because he finds it fun to see her flustered.
--- Quote from: MrNumbers on 14 Jul 2017, 11:57 ---Yeah, Angus wasn't great for me, but the biggest problem was that the behaviours he liked and encouraged in Faye were the behaviours we know to have been pretty bad her. Something more obvious to us now, and something Angus himself wouldn't have been able to see then; They were the qualities he found attractive in her, after all, the idea that they would be detrimental to her isn't a conclusion he would come to himself.
At the same time, Faye was obviously in a super bad place in her life in a way that she wasn't actually dealing with, and she was otherwise holding Angus back from his own dreams over that. She got pretty damn unlikable right around the time Dora kicked her ass into gear by firing her and forced her to change, if you'll recall.
A loving relationship can still be bad without it being either of those people's faults, and that's kind of a scary thought to think.

I think the problem with Angus was that he was just too even-headed for the cast. He never really had the kind of problems that plagued the rest of the core cast - I mean, the worst that he can say was that he had to do dancing at his school. Well I had to learn ceili dancing in school and honestly, that didn't affect me adversely. Angus was just too calm and easy going to remain a core character and nothing he could do was going to help Faye in the long-run, because those were Faye's problems and hers alone.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it either. There is such a thing as reading too much between the lines.

As I recall he didn't approve of the heavy drinking, which Faye got defensive about ("What? So I need your permission to drink now?"). He did encourage the sass of course, but that has not gone away since Faye got her life on track--it seems to be an inherent property of Faye. What self destructive behaviours did he encourage?

On the subject of robots with libidos, it would appear that Samantha has good instincts.
