To the point where I actually hope he survives, although the chances seem to be perilously small.

I know. I mean, I'm pretty sure he'll survive until the very last one or two episodes, but then? The only reason why I think there's a small chance he might survive is that deleted scene from s2 where Head!Six, on Kobol, tells him that he's going to be the only human currently living in the fleet who will set foot on Earth. Cylon prophecies, though ambiguously phrased, have a way of coming through. Mind, given the reappearance of Kara at the end of Crossroads and her claim to have seen Earth that could be jettisoned already.

Nathan:
What I find most disturbing is that I actually think he is attractive, despite all the flaws...

That's not mutually exclusive. *g* Luckily for us, he's fictional, so one can't act on the attraction anyway!

Mind you, it would take someone with superpowers of persuasion to make Nathan see a psychiatrist. Too bad Eden is dead!

Hm. Peter met her, though...*g*

ROTFLOL. Good point, though. Otoh, while Peter is entirely capable of using Eden's power on Nathan to make him go to therapy, Peter is also the type who went himself in his late teens or early 20s just because his family would disapprove and came to the conclusion it doesn't work anyway (mostly because he didn't want to give up any of his hang-ups and so never went more often than twice).

I maintain that Dr. Melfi after a session with the Petrellis would find Tony Soprano wholesomeness itself...
