Kugai:
This is going to prove very interesting.
Either Ms Vance is gonna come and kick Dora's ass, or she's gonna drag Marten back home
Or both.

--- Quote from: Border Reiver on 03 Dec 2010, 07:42 ---Actually, I think Marten's reaction is quite normal - "I'm an adult, I can deal with a break up on my own and don't need you to come rushing out to help."
And if Mom does overreact, then I can see Marten snapping.

This is the sort of trainwreck I could see coming -- Ms. Reed insists on talking to Dora, even politely, and Marten asks her not to; she does it anyway, and Marten finally yells at his mom, possibly something he's never done (we don't know at this point whether he's gotten confrontational with his mother). It's the kind of thing that could be both hilarious and wrenching, and would give us more insight into Marten's relationship with his mother. Whatever Jeph ends up doing with this, I'm definitely intrigued.

I prefer the version where she kicks Marten's ass then drags Dora back home, to be her new protégé, since Marten clearly isn't into it.

That could be an interesting twist.

--- Quote from: azurite on 03 Dec 2010, 10:02 ---Why on earth would Veronica go whoop-ass on Dora?! It wasn't like Dora cheated on Marten, strung him along, or was abusive--she just couldn't deal with her insecurities about Faye (and gee, I mean, it's not like Marten was living with Faye or had a huge crush on her for any significant amount of time, it's not like everything they did socially as a couple had Faye in the room too, and we certainly saw Marten doing everything he could to make Dora feel like she was his first choice, like how they got their own place together to start fresh, and remember that amazing strip where he finally said "I love you"?.... Oh. Wait.) That's not so much hurting Marten as it is "being the other half of a relationship between two flawed people that ended with both people getting hurt." There's a huge difference.

Parent Logic. Protect your own. And when your own happens to be your only one, it tends to amplify it a bit. I disagree on your thoughts about the relationship coming to an and and your thoughts on Marten, but that's not the point. You could point out how both parties are victims till you are blue in the face, the fact is, All Marten's Mom is probably gonna hear is "Some Girl hurt my son, my only son. Now I have to hurt her."
Her threat to Faye when she thought that Faye was gonna eventually date Marten, topped with the fact that she's flying out so, uhm, instantly, after hearing the news makes me think that There will be fear spread to Dora. I'd be surprised if there wasn't. :psyduck: <-my surprise face.
I would be pumped if, in an effort to Save Dora (or assume she'd need saving and panic), Hanners Calls her mom in to help handle this.
What? I can't be the only person who thinks that a Coffee Shop Match to the Death between Marten and Hanners Mom would be awesome.
THERE HAS TO BE OTHERS!
