I wish you luck, Aerinsol! Go for it! Dare to do what no one has done before! And crack is whack! Whatcha doing it for, Aerinsol? Shame on you! XD *jk*
I was reading the last couple of pages and can't help but insert my two-albeit worthless-cents! I don't think it's wise to say that XR and 42 wouldn't mix together if there's only one episode in existance with them both in it. It's like...judging people before you even get to know them. That's not cool! As for the OOC of XR in the episode, if the writer/creator makes him act that way, then in a sense, wouldn't it be IC? Ok sure, if it's so OUT THERE like XR is kissing another male robot, or Zurg suddenly hates purple *gaspeth*, then I agree, that's OOC. The creator can do whatever they please with the character, right? It's their character! I'm just saying that, to declare someone else's own character OOC when they set the pace for that character, is just....I don't know. Words phail me now. It's almost 2:30am in the morning...and I got trash duty tomorrow!
Oh one more thing before I go, this episode was character development for XR. I mean, it was unprecedented! The scenario had never before been covered in XR's history. He genuinely liked 42, and before anyone says "What about the other chicks?", it's not the same. That's called infatuation or lust. There's a difference, see.
I probably should have stayed outta this, but I can't sit here thinking about it...
*shlings out before armageddon starts* and it's not even 2012 yet!

...well, you can believe that if you want to, but I really really think it was just OOC bad writing. :3
And of course we're still friends. We're just friends with differences of opinion. <3

*snort* Oh wow.... Oh one more thing before I go, this episode was character development for XR. I mean, it was unprecedented! The scenario had never before been covered in XR's history. He genuinely liked 42, and before anyone says "What about the other chicks?", it's not the same. That's called infatuation or lust. There's a difference, see. It was great character development, I was actually impressed that they put flirty XR in a serious relationship, but then the ending came along and crushed it all! *whines*

...But... see, it still wasn't good character development, because it happened too fast to be believable. :[ My two cents, anyway.

Yeah, that too. I bet the writers just didn't want to spread it out over more than one episode, so they tried to cram it all in a half-hour time slot which just doesn't work. Not that they even tried to make it work, seeing how it ended and all. >.<

But I'm still thankful Kila, for your examples and that you understand my difference in opinion. I'll use them to help keep the characters in character. *hug* don't worry, I'm secretly rooting for CaR and Marred anyways! ;D yeah, I'm with you BG, they should have expanded this into several episodes, but unfortunately, I guess the writers were afraid of the show being pulled, and just queezed that great story idea into that half hour slot... (it isn't even a half hour for crying out loud, more like 15 minutes! ) Besides, XR is ultimately looked upon as the comedian; and the kids wouldn't like it if he actually went serious compared to his flirty side... They don't understand romance, lol...

LOL! I don't even understand romance! Hence why I shy away from it in my writing...cause I would do it all wrong. ALL wrong XD
regarding Kila's post about it being too fast to be believable, I suppose that's a valid reason. But also like Stitchaholic said, if cartoons are indeed modeled after reality or to be realistic in a sense, then that's how life is. It comes at you too fast sometimes to be believable....and boy do I have a story for that!
Well maybe the writers had no idea that they were going to cancel new episodes for the show, and decided to air the episode as a baby step. Who knows? They might have actually planned scripts going into fuller detail about 42 and XR!

Couples I support as JOKES and jokes only: Nos/Mira Mira/Warp XR/Madame President XR/SparklePrincess (Gravatina's cat) XR/Booster's mother XD XR/the Commander's Desk
Couples I support: Cannon: "Beer" Buzz/Mira (MUCH love.) "Big Mac" Romac/Mira (Much love.) "Slayer" XR/Savy Evil!Buzz/Gravatina Booster's Parents Savy's Parents Petra/Plasmaboy
Fannon: "CaR" XR/Carrie "JaR" XR/Jamie
Couples I'm Neutral with: Cannon: Buzz/Gravatina XR/Mira XR/42 Booster/Petra XR/Sally Buzz/Sally
Fannon: Kila's verison of XM/XR ((Carrie's SO MUCH better than this, seriously.))
Couples I do not support (but I'm not the kind of person stop looking at fan art or not read a fic because of a couple I don't like...then again, it depends on the couple and the fic/pic) : Buzz/Ozma Warp/Mira CindyVortex/TimmyTurner (Wait, wut? O.o) XR/Booster (They're brothers not lovers.) Mira/Booster (I tried liking it but I can't picture the both of them together.) ZADR (Randomness again, ftw.) NOS/Anyone XL/Anyone (Show me a good OC for him and I'll reconsider.)
-----
And people are keep mentioning about more fannon couples. I have quite a few of them:
1) I'm reamping XR/XM. My version of her is nothing like Kila's version of her (except my version of her is still perky and happy). My XM is more mature (with the mentality of a teenager). XR and XM are best friends in my fandom, often chatting with each other when they're not working. The couple's kind of ambiguous; no kissing, no glomping, no cutesy names, and absolutely no stalking.
2) I'm making a Booster OC, she doesn't have a name yet but I came up with her design yesterday and ideas for her job. She's a janator for the Star Command Acadamy School. She's not a cannon species but one I made up (I need a name for the species too, I'll think of somethin). She's quite tall, and unlike most BLoSC females, she is not sleek. She's not fat either (think of Lilo & Stitch's Nani). She has a poofy section of fur on her chest and elbows. Also she has long hair, which is in a ponytail, and part of her hair leads to her face and it ends between her eyes and above her nose. The tuff of hair on her face resembles the one on Envy's Lilo&Stitch's experiment Envy. The rest of her body has smooth skin. Her eyes kind of resemble Stitch's eyes, more-so Spearmint's eyes (so many L&S references in one charater). She also has mid-length antenneae on her head. Her ears are rabbit like and droop down (they only perk when she gets excited). The ears kind of resemble Thumper's ears and they reach up to her shoulders; she also usually keeps her ears in the front of her body instead of her back. While working she wears Militarty-esque boots, a long sleeved jacket, and long pants. When she isn't working she wears a different more clean and formal pair of boots, a sleeve-less tee shirt, and shorts. I having trouble on the colors of her skin and hair but that's all I got on her so far.
3) I have two Grubb OCs and they're a pairing, married in fact. (I still need names for the both of them). The male once worked for Zurg against his own will, but was saved by Shiv Kital. The female used to live on the Grubb planet but fled with her children after when a bunch of Zurg's hornets began to kidnap and enslave the male Grubbs (one of them sadly being her husband; she only left because she didn't want her sons to get kidnapped). She later finds him on Star Command and they both get jobs there.

Welcome. You have any name ideas for any of the three charaters?
