Personally, I never felt anything for him as a character. There was nothing interesting about him and his relationship with James was confusing. Were they a couple at one point? Were they just friends with benefits?
As far as we know he's only been with three women. His first being when he was sixteen, then years later when he was assigned to Icarus (James) and finally Chloe.
In 'Cloverdale' in his pre-wedding nerves he seems to be expressing anxiety towards the commitment he is about to make to Chloe; Eli -rather Scott's own subconscious- telling him that he isn't a one woman man. In fairness, he's only been with three women we know off. Is that really enough to deem someone a womanizer and not the monogamous type? I've also read in an interview that Smith also thinks Scott has only ever been with three women.
This confusion caused me to lose interest in his own story. It didn't make sense to me so I abandoned it as a character trait. I had nothing else to identify him as an individual character with his own story and sense of self. I literally know nothing about him beyond that he is a Christian whose parents are dead and he was raised by an alcoholic priest, and this seems to go over the top dramatically and becomes unbelievable melodrama. He seemed so generic to me. He could be shoved out an air lock and beyond me feeling sympathy for other characters that did care for him, I feel it would have changed nothing to the dynamic of the character interactions. However, I have to give the writers credit for his relationship with Young and that scene they had in 'Trial and Error'. This scene stands out in my mind as great character moment for Scott and Young.
