You guys all make really good points.
And yeah, I think we all "love" XR or else we wouldn't be on this forum.
I just thought of an interesting point thought. It's about 42. (I can just see Kila cringing right about now.) ;D
But think about it: 42 didn't have a body. She didn't even look anything like an organic. She was just a face on a screen. XR was put off by her at first, but we know that he became attracted to her. She had personality, we all know, she definitely wasn't a mindless robot. XR came up with the idea that she should have a body, but he was attracted to her even without one.
If you think about it, when XR is attracted to just any female, it normally doesn't last. It's just superficial. But he liked 42 because he could relate to her and she to him. He liked her personality at first (in the end, she knocked him down, just because she was cruel like that.) If XR was to be in a relationship that lasted, I'd say he'd be with a robot for those reasons.
But that's just me. Everyone else makes such good points. I have nothing against pairing XR with an organic. (Marred is cute) I just don't think it would last for long.

...you just described exactly why that episode is completely OOC! ;

Is it out of character that XR would act like that or 42?

XR.
Seriously. He's not going to fall in love with someone who just insulted not only his intelligence but also his best and possibly only friends without reason. Even if she was gorgeous, that wouldn't happen.

True that. I haven't seen the episode 42 in a long time, so I had forgotten exactly what she said. But we don't know exactly what they said in between exchanges. She could've apologized for being harsh with his friends and said that she was just frustrated (but I kinda doubt that would happen.)
I think that point you made kinda makes the situation even more interesting though. Maybe he kind of realized that she needed attention, because he knows what it feels like to be a robot in a world of organics. Maybe he was trying to be nice, and when he learned more about her, ended up liking her.
Ugh, my brain isn't really making sense right now. I need to see this episode again before I analyze it, seeing as how I forget most of the dialogue.

That's so not XR though. He's *not* that compassionate. Seriously.

Hmmm. You're right. The whole episode is confusing. I gotta watch it again.

Lol.
I'd say to pair him up with an organic...well, because he pretty much acts like one and...that's all I got for now.

I think he should marry a PIKACHU Nah JKJK x3 I think he COULD be with an organic. If they don't mind that he can be a bit shallow at times. I just think that a robotic, unless it ALSO had a personality sort of like his then he could. With the cyborg thing...well I think that could work..but it would still be the same as the organic, would have to be able to STAND him. .....ACTUALLY anyone would have to be able to stand him...but still Also, XR can't actually "die" like an organic can, so it could be hard for him to be with someone who will eventually die, and just leave him without anyone, just like how 42 did. This is just what I think of it :3

Lol. Who knows, maybe XR would "die" first (hopefully not) because..you know...everything's gotta rust and then his memory drives wouldn't work (or I'm just not thinking straight right now...I don't know)
The anwser to every question in the world : I don't know!

Maybe he was trying to be nice, and when he learned more about her, ended up liking her. That's so not XR though. He's *not* that compassionate. Seriously. That could happen! How should we know how XR would react to a situation like this? I don't think he's ever had to comfort a fellow robot. Yes, comfort might not have been his first plan of action when confronted with a very frustrated woman and insulted by said women, but we can't just stereotype XR and say he's only good for cruel, sarcastic humor. He's got a heart... engine... whatever! Kila, I know where you're coming from. I personally hate 42 with the red, hot intensity of a thousand suns! She's an insult to females everywhere! But if we want to say that XR has the emotional range of an organic, we have to acknowledge that he could feel compassion when facing 42 just as much as he could feel anger at being insulted. Plus, you have to admit XR was at his sweetest during 42, and I really like that sweet side of him. Anyway, XR should be with an organic. He things, feels, and acts like one. The only thing he lacks is a fleshy exterior! And really, shouldn't personality make up more of a relationship than physical appearance Most robots don't have personalities, and the ones that do only have one-sided ones. Plus, he's shunned from the robot community. Cyborgs? There really aren't that many on the show. So any cyborgs with XR would have to be OC. I personally have very little patience with Character/OC pairings unless they're exceptional. Most OC are just MarySues any.
