WCDT: 2131-35 (27 Feb- 2 Mar 2012) QC IN SPAAAAAACE! Week 6
Welu:
This is sad but it doesn't feel as deep as the Talk. Jeph seems like he's going to keep getting deeper into the issue. To guess, which feels kind of mean on Hanners, I would guess being back where's she grew up could bring back a lot of her triggers and I'm worried we might see her go back a few steps. :-(
Deadlywonky:
I was wondering if she might regress, but she's been OK up until she went to get ready for the party, my hope is that she might have at most a small (read funny) freak out over something. Serious psychosis or Hannerflail would be a major downer for the party

With all the stuff they must have tried, I'm surprised they didn't ship her to Earth, though they probably considered it. Maybe her mind did the same kind of overreaction the immune system does that makes it freak out at stuff like peanuts - not enough exposure to dirt and germs and people and plants and such, so encounters that did occur freaked her out. Something to consider if we ever get our asses into space.
--- Quote from: pwhodges on 01 Mar 2012, 01:59 ---Also, she said early on that she came to Earth because the therapy in space wasn't much good: 665. We knew she was messed up, and that must have gone back to her childhood, so I'm a bit bemused by the reaction to today's comic - it really doesn't feel in any way equivalent to the talk to me.

I agree with this. This strip wasn't exactly a giant revelation; we've gotten plenty of allusions to how much worse she used to be, as opposed to The Talk, which came out of the blue, and we had no idea that Faye had been through anything significantly bad at all. It's just that we're now getting specifics, which match pretty well with what I expected; the same, but worse and INSPACE.
Zorp is now my favorite word.
Zorp!

We had no idea Faye had been through anything bad? I thought Jeph had been implying a had past for Faye for awhile. Of course, I thought he was implying that she had been in an abusive relationship.
Is it cold in here?:
Dora felt bad about regarding Hanners has funny while also feeling sorry for her. child Hanners is purely sad.
Beatrice thouqht that was a discipline problem?! I think even less of her.now.
I vaguely remember that there are mental health problems that improve over tiime.
Should Winslow install a therapy module?
Is typing on an iPad punishment for my sins In a previous life?

--- Quote from: DSL on 01 Mar 2012, 00:53 ---Gotta wonder, considering what we've seen of the major influences on her during her formative years, where did Hannelore pick up her ethical sense, which is one of the more finely tuned among the characters? Maybe her (considerable) empathy drove its development once she was around people who weren't preoccupied with their duties on the station.

Makes sense, or she could have come by it intellecttually, by thinking how she would have liked to have been treated. That would not work for most people but she does not seem to have a normally robust id.
