Vince is my favourite character of either QaF; in fact, I think he deserved David, Mikey's chiropractor more than Mikey ever did.
Mmmm... I liked David. I also liked Cameron, Vince's Aussie accountant. I mean, apart from the taking over 'let me run your life for you' aspect, they were good guys. *g*
The one thing about Vince was, he never gave up on Stuart, no matter how many jokes Stuart made about 'saving him for my old age'.
The real thing is that Vince makes the choice to stand by Stuart. A couple times in the series, it's not just a case of not giving up on Stuart, he actually consciously chooses Stuart. I'm not sure if Mikey ever does... I haven't seen all of the US series, so I can't say for sure, but I always get the impression of Mikey being manipulated into staying or going. When he comes back, it wasn't his personal choice, it was circumstances. *shruggs* Vince choosing Stuart makes him a strong, interesting character. Mikey's lack of choice makes him look weak and bland.
I've never felt much for Nathan or Justin but you're right in that Nathan was very much on the outside looking in, and Justin has managed to insert himself to everybody's life like a spider in the middle of a web. Sure he's cute, but I don't feel he's real.
Spider!Justin... I like that mental image. Yeah, he's just such a butt-in-ski that he bugs me. There's just no respect for the natural process, of gaining wisdom with your years. Then again, maybe it's an american thing.
The only thing I prefer about the US version is Ted and Emmett. I'm looking forward to season 2 and Ted's porn king empire, and Emmett's doomed love affair.
Heh. To be honest, I liked Phil and Alexander. *g*
But Ted and Emmett are my favourite US characters, without a doubt. (They generally don't annoy me.)
