I've been trying to figure out why I like Sgt. Hatred. I think part of it is that he seems to genuinely want to be a better person. He provides a kind of interesting contrast with Dr. Venture, who has no desire to be any better.
He's like those big, drunken characters in fantasy movies. Not necessarily bright, but big hearted and loyal to a fault. Unlike Brock (who is still my favorite VB character), he isn't the slightest bit conflicted about being Dr. Venture's body guard. He seems to love the job and the responsibility, even if he isn't especially good at it.
Also, he has that great line at the end of last season about eating a Labrador Retriever.
I do think that some of the child molester business has been a bit overplayed (the whole "boy-girl" thing this week was a little over-the-top, even for Sgt Hatred), but I think that this week's encounter between Rusty and Dr. Z suggests that there is hope for all of the characters, if they can find a way to pull themselves away from their obsessions. It would be nice to see Sgt. Hatred achieve a certain level of redemption - which, of course, would mean they'd have to kill him right after he achieved it.
