And Faye's hair looks nice too.

And there I was, hoping to be the first to comment on Faye's do - but I was beaten to it. Hours late and a little short.
And this was a great wind up, now we need a pitch.

You banned him? Now I go back to being the most unliked person on the forum again :(.
While I agree with his take on Marten never taking charge on anything, the wild sex proposition never happened. It'd also make Marten sad and mopey when she left because Marten doesn't run around having guilt-free sex like a douchebag. He would get emotionally attached to her as he should.

--- Quote from: Paranoid on 29 Sep 2011, 21:25 ---Are we sure Elliot is a bouncer? As far as I can tell, the only reference to it was by Wil in strip 1883, and Wil could have been talking about a different guy names Elliot. I ask because unless Jeph has already said so elsewhere I just don't see Elliot being the sort of person who could handle 'bouncing' people.

What, you can't see him physically escorting one person to another place without violence ensuing? Like we've just seen him do?
--- End quote ---
What violence ensued? I can't help but notice that all of it was inferred by Martin. Yes, Elliot looked threatening as they headed off towards the bar, but that's all. It could easily have been a one-time thing brought on by Elliot's frustration over his unrequited love. Either that or Jeph once again wrote someone out of character in order to set up/deliver a punch line. Either way, I've noticed that as a rule Elliot is obviously a non-violent person (except when it comes to fish of course :-P). While his physique may perfect for a bouncer, I expect that would not be enough to deter every possible obnoxious drunk. Eventually, he'd have to actually use physical force, and after his "What? I would never!" protest to Martin the other night I just can't see that happening unless one Padma (and maybe Sam) were involved. At least, that's my $.02 for what it's worth.

yay, more Faye and Marten! I've been interested to see where the Marten/Padma thing would go, if anywhere...but most of the people from tSB just didn't hold my interest.

--- Quote from: themacnut on 30 Sep 2011, 03:28 ---Well of course-her relationship with Angus is still relatively new and untested. Her emotional bonds with Marten on the other hand, are well-established, long-standing and deep. Marten has pretty much proven himself as a stalwart friend, Angus has yet to do so on many levels. Of course Faye will react with trepidation at the prospect of her close friend leaving.

You would think.
The reality is that she's shown a considerable indifference to Marten lately. Some of that is his own fault, I grant you. I'll even go so far as to say it's natural for a person in the early stages of an intense relationship, but... it has been a bit dissapointing to see the growing distance between Faye and Marten. From that perspective I'm glad to see that she still has the time for him.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there. We haven't exactly seen much of them interacting, but we only see a little sliver of what goes on in the QCverse. They've remained close through A LOT of shit, and Marten stayed close to Faye when he was in a relationship and she was not. I find it hard to believe much would change if the roles were simply reversed.
(Oh and also- i effing love Faye's haircut. and shirt.)
