BenRG:
Today's the day when Faye remembers why she tries to avoid having conversations with Pintsize, I suspect. His life and his problems push her 'weird-o-meter' needle a bit too far over to the right. Seriously, though, I suspect becoming entangled in this matter may reassure her that, no matter how odd her relationship with Bubbles is becoming, she's still got mainstream problems compared to a certain robot copper.

I can't help but wonder why Pintsize was expecting anything different from Faye. I mean she pretty much is the living avatar of 'spiky and sassy', so 'supportive', especially of him isn't something that you'd expect! If anything, sticking up for and trying to protect Roko is more in character for her! :-P

FWIW, I consider Winslow to be entering adolescence for a variety of reasons. The answer to the question of his alignment is 'wait and see'.

P.S.
Pintsize was very upset that he didn't impress Roko before and he seems to be very keen to have a second chance now. Either he intends to get the coveted 'worst date ever' spot or he really does like Roko and we might be seeing him about to attempt a real relationship for the very first time (the mind boggles at that, by the way)!

Zebediah:
The problem with Roko+Winslow is that Winslow is out of town for an indeterminate period.

Roko’s romantic prospects in Northampton aren’t great at the moment, at least among the known cast. She seems to be interested in male robots, and the list of presumably single male robots other than Pintsize includes:

Punchbot
PT410x
Punkbot
Gordon
May’s parole officer
Droid 06

I’m probably missing a few, but still: do you see Roko working with any of those guys?

BenRG:
I've got to say that I think Punchbot is a very sweet guy, IMO, and I suspect that any Roko/Punchbot ship would probably be ultra-cute and ultra-sweet. As a CPA, Barty Punchbot is also sufficiently 'respectable' enough for an ambitious officer to take with her to formal functions and the like. The fact that he's an underground fist-fighter with sadomasochistic tendencies might actually be a bonus for her.

That said, my feeling about the direction of the arc, at least at the moment, isn't really about shipping Roko at all. I think it's going to be at least in part about Pintsize being genuinely attracted to Roko on a certain level and trying to clean up his act to impress her on a second date. Whether or not that goes well or comedically badly is entirely up to Jeph. I have to say that the character of Pintsize is the sort that lends itself to a "I didn't learn any lessons at all!" outcome with the relationship crashing and burning because he ultimately has more fun being who he is now than he ever could being a 'respectable' boyfriend.

Cornelius:
You know, having "Pintsize" and "respectable" in the same sentence really feels odd. It's not just that it needs a negation, it's more like an equator and poles not touching kind of thing.

Yet if you shift the magnetic poles ninety degrees from the axial poles you would have the equators touching the poles - the results are .... interesting ...
