WCDT: 2151-55 (26-30 Mar 2012) QC IN SPAAAAAACE... Week TEN!?!
bhtooefr:
I do actually wonder if Hanners is trying to work towards a relationship with Marten specifically, given how it's being hinted towards now by characters that are meeting Marten for the first time (Hannerdad and Lt. Potter).
From a narrative perspective, I'd actually kinda like to see Hanners try it before she's actually ready for everything it entails, and then Marten handling rejecting her (I don't want to see him dating her unless she's completely ready, and given the timescale involved, I doubt that would happen except as possibly the ending of QC), simply to see how that drama works out. Potentially, the fallout from that would also provide character development for Marigold - it'd be an interesting role reversal, as Hanners has been there for every failed relationship attempt on Marigold's part.
As for Lt. Potter... depending on levels of drunkenness, things might still happen, although I'd guess it'd be in a bunk, and not in zero-G. Oh, and why she wouldn't know about Hannelore's insecurities... note that she refers to her as "the doc's kid", not "Hannelore". Even if she should know, she probably doesn't care enough to remember that.
Welu:
This threw a curveball at me. Marten's reaction is interesting. Just, "We're friends" and moved on with the conversation. Doesn't seem to have entered his head (yet) to say, "Why did you think that?"
I hope we see more of Lt. Potter when we go back to Earth.
Also I really like the characters in Zero-G. It's fun to look at.

Surely not bankrupt if 0.76% of Station's share of the company was $5m. He must own at least as much as the AI, you'd think.
Dying...possible from the "so much to accomplish" strip, but since the context of that was that he didn't even know his own age, I doubt it!

On another sidenote:
It must be HELLA creepy, not to say utmostfully distressing, to see your own blood in zero-g. °O
... damn, I just shivered me timber.
Think about all those little bouncy spheres dancing around each other and you'd think it was kinda pretty if it weren't a death dance dedicated to you. ... This is the stuff Stephen King or Clyve Barker novels are made of.
ilikefishfood:
I'm thinking Potter's going to make a move. As soon as Marten said he and Hannelore were just friends, she leaned right into him (panel 5 and 6). I mean, look how quickly she narrowed that gap! The Lt. has intentions! :-D
