To start, how could a story with the title Seven Sexy Cowboy Robots be anything but AWEsome? It was a fantastic story in my opinion.
Did anyone else find it odd that Buck wouldn't sleep with her? I understand that it's the personality of Herbert but the reason they got divorced was because he was unfaithful. It's hypocritical of him to have an issue with her sleeping with other robots. To me, if he really loved her then he would never have cheated on her in the first place. Also, as a female I would be royally PISSED that my boyfriend created a robot that looked like another ex-girlfriend and wanted my personality inside her. What the heck!!! Don't get me wrong it made a hilarious section to read, but I would choose death just to spite him. I'm too stubborn to allow Buck/Herbert the satisfaction of my looking like someone else. Then again I would love to drive him nuts until he committed robot suicide so...
A real question I had though is why would Buck/Herbert stop having sex with different women after he had enjoyed affairs for so long? And on a more interesting level: would Herbert have altered Buck to make him last longer? I'm thinking yes. He apparently has a big ego so I bet he wouldn't be able to stand being that dissatisfying.
I think the change was more along the lines of him dealing with his own mortality once his biological self died, looking back on his life and maturing a bit. He's still pretty vain, but he doesn't seem to be as bad as he was as a human. And as for the modifications, he does seem to regard Buck as his chance to be young, strong, and just generally better than he was in life, so he probably corrected quite a number of things.
ReplyDeleteohh i just laughed out loud at your post!! at first i was like.. does she mean live longer? and then i connected the dots! my guess is he's so self-centered he probably thought he was a sex god and didn't need to make any adjustments. then once he got there and realized he was nothing compared to the other 6, he was too embarrassed to even try...
