Eliot Clinton should be rethinking this, they clearly are two very different type of people (and
Eliot Clinton can do a lot better.)
Seriously. This is the character who has done more fundamental
changing ( in lifestyle, outlook and attitude) than just about anyone else in the current main cast.
He started as a classic techno-nerd, with eyes only for his obsession (though, admittedly, he was also protective of his sister). With the aid of some - um -
forceful arguments from Marten, Faye and Co., he has realized that he can't allow that obsession to overrule decent personal interactions. He learned still more about human interactions during the Night of the Emily Date
Since that time he has
helped rescue a bar full of people when the Nasty Whale burned down, comforted the bartender when she subsequently had a breakdown, started finding his way around this dating thing (usually by trial and error
), eventually leading to the realization that all of this personal change can be
attractive to other people...
When he first appeared, I used to hate Clinton. Now, I'm somewhere between sympathizing with Clinton, and cheering him on.
