Reasons to love Marshall Flinkman

1. Marshall is (relatively) small, but mighty.2. When office-dwelling Marshall was abducted and tortured by the bad guys, he kept his cool and gave them a prank program (Pong!), instead of the one they wanted him to reconstruct. In your face!
3. Marshall isn't afraid to admit that he sweats a lot during times of romantic stress (like first kisses). That's normal, right?
4. Marshall crafted a handmade pop-up book for his son, Mitchell Flinkman. What a sweet dad!
5. Marshall saved Sydney Bristow's life when she was buried alive, and the rest of the team was locked up in quarantine.

Marshall: It's like a half-spoon... half-fork, will that do?
Jack Bristow: That will work.

[mechanial voice]
Marshall: Robot Dixon...
