Hanners is, as my crew uses the vernacular, a damn solid friend.

True but emotional pain usually cannot be let go so easily in the face of logic, no matter how much sense the situation makes.
--- Quote from: Tergon on 29 Nov 2010, 04:11 --- But we haven't actually seen how he's coping with it, other than hints that he's not handling it very well at all. Like I said before, and like others have said too, Marten might indeed be about to snap... but it hasn't even been a full day yet. Let the breakup sink in. And then, maybe, something can trigger him. I'm guessing Marten will manage to control himself until something pushes him over the edge. Then, though, you might wanna stand back.

This is pretty much what I want to see. An honest-to-god gut level expression from Marten about how he feels and what all this means to him. Maybe it's because Jeph likes to take his time advancing a plot, but so far I can't help but despise Marten's character for maintaining the same passivity and the "wherever the current takes me" attitude that he's well known for.

I think that's dependent on the person. Whilst Martens never shown a particular tendency to place logic before emotion, it hasn't been demonstrated that he can't either.
El_Flesh:
I've known people who simply have an attitude where they rationalize it and it works for them. They don't sob. They don't get in a funk. They are somewhat subdued, but they are basically fine and get on with their lives, making jokes just like Martin is making at work. If ANYONE in the series is cool and calm and will not fall to pieces over a breakup, it's Martin. It's entirely in line with his character, and what he said; "...now I gotta go and do the same old stupid song and dance..." He really did have enough. He already HAD a GF that didn't work; he's probably done the sobbing thing once already. You'll find it gets old fast.
Now Faye should have gone apeshit ballistic and actually beaten on Sven, then snarkily hate him anytime she sees him.

Faye is kinda beating up on Sven in a sense. He's had no one since her, since they all look so flat. She's broken him. She should just flash him everytime she sees him; he'd stare for a bit, then break into tears.
