I like his clothes. Classic. He always looks sharp. ...except for those pale yellow sweaters. If there's one color I can't stand to see on white guys it's pale yellow!! |

I agree. I think he looks great and I love him in a suit. All the striped ties though...were they fashionable in the 70s? I much prefer the plainer ties but maybe that's because I'm looking at it from a different time. |

I think he was a pretty snappy dresser too. I did like when he wore something a tad more casual, only because it gave him a more relaxed look. Very debonaire. I did notice a couple of blazers make an appearance MORE than once - I guess that stands to reason. |

I like the khakis and white shirts. He looks just swell in those...and best of all, he never wears pleated pants! |

I like when he rolls up his shirt sleeves and unbuttons his shirts... sadly, I don't recall a SINGLE episode where he is in shorts - or better a swimsuit...How excellent would that have been if he had accompanied Jaime to the Bahamas and went to the beach with her... But I digress. I thought he filled out blazers quite nicely too.... |

Is one of Oscar's flaws that he's a CHICKEN? Why doesn't he just ask Jaime out? Do you REALLY think he feels it's inappropriate? I don't think so - she's an independent contractor, not an employee. |

I suppose you could think that Oscar is too work-obsessed to pursue anything with Jaime. His work does seem to be the main priority in his life... |

Do you think, at least maybe early on, Oscar really could have been so involved with his work, that he never really took the time to actively think about his feelings for Jaime? That is wasn't that he consciously decided not to pursue her, but that the subject just never rose to his conscious thoughts? |

Yeah, that's possible - it's impossible to know since we are given SO little insight into Oscar's inner life. |

Yes, since we almost always see Oscar at work or in some situation connected with it, it gives the impression that he does nothing else. It would have been nice if they had shown more of his personal life. We got to know so little. |

And it's such a shame that we didn't see more of his personal life isn't it? I can just imagine him, going about his daily business - if not happy, maybe interested at least and somewhat content - an then Jaime steps into the picture. Do skyrockets go off right away, or do they sneak up on him slowly? If he isn't used to being in love, maybe it takes a while for him to figure out what it is he's feeling - and then longer to work up the nerve to ever contemplate more with her. |

I'm moving this over to the Oscar character flaws thread, as it was pointed out that I had previously contributed this post in JAIME'S character flaws thread I had said the Oscar should have told Jaime how he REALLY felt about her - that he was in love with her, rather than hold back out of a sense of propriety or loyalty to Steve...So it that a character flaw then (relating back to the topic of this thread)? But what is the flaw? Cowardice? Excessive self-deprecation? |

Why, what a good question! I think that because we never get the slightest hint of what is going on inside his head it's impossible to know what held him back. It could be cowardice (fear of rejection), lack of confidence, a sense that such a relationship was completely inappropriate, loyalty to Steve...it could be ANYTHING. |

I guess it isn't a flaw if he REALLY felt it was inappropriate - TRULY, otherwise, he's covering ![]() The same doesn't apply to Steve - he couldn't have been oblivious to Steve's...dating patterns. |

Since Oscar considered Steve a friend even more than an employee, I have to think he was being extraordinarily noble in not pursuing his feelings for Jaime! |
