I love Hal because he was created in the late fifties, and the (broadly speaking) Sputnik era still shows so much in his characterization; but that, at least prior to Geoff's intense outbreak of nostalgia, he's been *out of place* in the world since the 1970s. He tries to adapt, but he's still *old*, and at the same time, he's still the same cocky flyboy he was more than fifty years ago, real-time.

Also, he's great in a team-up. And has some of the worlds slashiest fight scenes. And loves powerful women (go Carol!) even though everyone he dates tends to go a bit nuts.

Now tell me why you love G'nort. *g*
