--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 29 Sep 2010, 12:12 ---Sven is having the effect of alerting Hanners to and immunizing her against some manipulative dating moves. This is an invaluable service to her that doesn't benefit him, except maybe a little ego boost from showing off his knowledge. This is consistent with Sven trying to be a good guy.

Fixed.

I'm all for redemption, but let's not get over-excited. Basically admitting you're a manipulating douche is one thing. Actually not being one when there's no real consequences other than your conscience grumbling at you is another.

That would put them on firm Theoretical footing, but they'd still need to do the survey to verify it empirically.

Carl-E:
The theoretical aspects of this have been well established through several generations of debate in dorm rooms, bars and other places "boys" gather to discuss such things. 

Don't look at me - I never hung out with those guys.  .

She's her mother's daughter. Only nicer, and without the secret headquarters full of death-traps.

Tergon:
We've never seen Hannelore's secret headquarters full of death-traps.  But I bet she has some.  Hell, I bet when she was little, she had a trap system worthy of a Home Alone movie set up on that space station to play tricks on all the robots.  Of course, she immediately panicked at the mess she'd made and started cleaning furiously, but still.

...idle thought:  I wonder if that's a contributing factor for Hannelore's OCD?  Y'know, growing up in an environment where if things are messy, out-of-order or not working properly, you are probably going to die.  Even given the obviously advanced technology in the QC-niverse, especially when it's in the hands of Hannelore's dad, I can see how someone who basically grew up having to follow the rules of an Astronaut would have issues later in life.

Anyway.  I, too, hope that the date isn't interrupted.  I'm sure we'll get updates on what the rest of the gang is doing; Faye may or may not have plans with Angus tonight, Marigold may or may not be engaged in a deathmatch with Dale, Cosette and Steve may or may not be on a double-date with Penelope and Wil.  We'll no doubt check in on them.  But Hannelore and Sven deserve the chance to let this go off without an audience, even if it does somehow go catastrophically wrong due to a clumsy waiter or something.
