I picked the never-seeing-Hannerdad angle. Cause so far this storyline is sorely missing a pitfall. And in QC, there's always about two pitfalls.
In the Tai's Party arc, Dora went on a date (before showing up to the party anyway), and then Tai was too shy (or perhaps wise) to be as forward as she might have been.
When Steve started going out with Cosette, they got interrupted at inopportune moments,
twice. On the
same night.
Doing battle with the VespAvenger, Marten tried and rather comically failed to do anything useful, despite his efforts.
Sven did manage to take Hannelore on a date without anything untoward happening... unless you count managing to say the exact wrong thing to her, twice.
When Dora and Marten first got together, Dora spent much of the next day worrying about how she had hurt Faye.
Marigold trying to deal with her feelings for Angus took a
very long time, with many a faux-pas and awkward situation along the way.
What I'm trying to say here is that I think deliberately making things not that easy is a large part of Jeph's writing style, and I'm kind of nervous about what the pitfalls will be here. Especially if it leads to disappointment regarding the whole
"Spaaaaaaaace!!" aspect of the arc, which I wouldn't put past him.
EDIT- Oh, and I can guess from the comic that just appeared that this week will not actually
be about going to space: it'll be about everyone talking about how
lucky Marten and Marigold are for having the opportunity to go to space.
