--- Quote from: raoullefere on 30 Sep 2011, 22:23 ---Yes. This is why I hear a strange grinding noise whenever I see Dora whining about Marten's lack of direction, etc. I think it's my teeth. The idea that Marten was ever 'settling' for Dora was pretty much a product of her underwhelming regard for herself as a romantic interest. The truth is that she'd have been a whole lot happier had Marten been less into her. They might even still be together, except, you know, Marten would've dumped Dora because he wasn't that into her. If that sounds crazy, well…

Just wondering, who would be ok with their significant other still living with the person they were in love with, and being opposed to moving out?
The fact it lasted as long as it did is a testament to Dora's patience. He didn't want to move out, never went out of his way to show how special she was, etc. It was just "Ho hum, I'm in a relationship but don't want my life to change at all". Past issues or not, it would be a tough situation for any girl to swallow.

Damn it, just when I had Dora all figured out you throw this curve ball. I never even bothered to stand in her shoes, the view from over here is much gloomier than I had imagined. It's funny that I never realized Steve's situation was basically the same as Marten's with the exception that Steve's GF actually had a romantic relationship with the guy she was living with. That being said I immediately felt sorry for Steve when that situation was presented to us and my first instinct was to tell him to run... I guess I should have told Dora the same thing. While my gut feeling at first was to tell her to give it some time, I knew Marten wouldn't commit to anything he couldn't fully commit to. Either way, it still stands that Dora sabotaged herself, not Marten, and if these really were issues that were eating away at her, she should have spoken up. (About more than just the fact that she thought Marten was still crushing on Faye.)

Are you sure it isn't an erosseat?

Sheezus, this is what I get for not reading for a weekend... 4 pages of some really offtopic discussion interspersed with lunacy and intrigue both... so in the name of Chaos, here's today's 2c worth of random... apologies if I re-hash someone elses words, I kinda skimmed the last couple of pages as the tl;dr-fugue took hold.
Robotics and The Three Laws in the QC universe
If Marten was truly in danger of harm when Elliot hauled him off, then does this illustrate the lack of the 3 Laws in QC robotics, given Momo's inaction at the time?
Or did Momo sense no actual threat of harm, and thus was not compelled into action?
The Couch
Maybe Marten got to keep it because Hannelore's so attached to crashing on it?
Padma using Marten
I think when she invited Marten along on the hike, she was simply being friendly, and nothing more... I don't think there was any kind of manipulative agenda at work in the shadows. She could have even arranged it for Sam's benefit, given that Sam appears to have tagged Momo as a friend. As far as Padma knows, Momo is Marten's, after all...
Is it cold in here?:
I agree with you about Padma, on the grounds that she doesn't seem to have the shrewdness to be that devious.
The QC-verse can't have the Three Laws, because the Second means no free will, which means it would be intolerable to allow AnthroPCs to vote, yet they have full civil rights.
Another case where Momo didn't intervene in a hazardous situation was when Sam went over the cliff. We don't know if she can move fast enough to block a determined 13-year-old, but there's no evidence she was even lunging in that direction.
