  • What's disease? Where?

I never really got the vibe they were dating.  I know I'm gonna get a storm of "you act like we don't know what dating is!" But weren't they just having sex? I mean, did they call them selves boyfriend/girlfriend? I feel like Padma might have been sad that Marty couldn't hang out, but I don't think she knew he did it becuase he was pissed off at her. I think the email is gonna go over just fine.
Anytime I asked a girl to a movie or a party or whatever, in the 1950s it was called a "date." In the 1980s, my daughter suggested that the definition had changed substantially. I don't think Marten and Padma spent much time together. Both recognized a strong chemistry. With Padma's plans to leave, they recognized in different degrees that it wasnt to be. YMMV.

That was my biggest issue, too. Were Padma and Marten even "dating", could they be considered Exes?

I mean, honestly, I'm basing this on my best friend and her current boyfriend. They met by having sex one night and met up to have sex a couple more times. Then he asked her on a date, but they weren't officially dating until after he asked her to be his girlfriend.

I think Marten and Padma are similar. Like...neither really said what they were, so were they? Or were they just having fun?

Thing about dating... it's just a word. Its meaning can be entirely subjective.

However, in my mind there are two alternative prerequisites for dating. The first is, y'know, actually going on a date(s). The second is sitting down together and settling the nature of the relationship. Padma and Marten never did either (the dancing doesn't count as a date).

Aw yeah, Abby. I like my men large as well. Scrawny doesn't cut it when you are a voluptuous ethnic lady. Can you imagine?

Anyway. I'd say that Marten and Padma weren't serious enough for there to be too much trouble to get back to being awkward acquaintances. Personal experience speaking here.

I always think of it in these terms: Do you consider yourself dating? If you can't definitively say yes (or know the other person can't definitively say yes) then you're not - as a pair of people - dating.

Dating, to me, implies that you are somewhere between some kind of casual relationship (which may involve sex or may not depending on your beliefs) and are moving towards a more solid, monogamous relationship*.

If you have a casual relationship with sex but there's no plans or intentions whatsoever for it to become serious, it's fuck buddies / just a friend you have sex with.

I think Marten rather fell into the trap of feeling like he was dating (he's doesn't seem well set up mentally for no-strings attached relationships) while Padma consciously fought against it after she realized she was pretty much fallin' for him.

Hence the recriminations and stuff.

Interestingly, it seems Marten still feels he has something to say to Padma. He's clearly not proud of his actions and he's trying to make some amends - I wonder if Padma will rise to that and make amends for her own part in the screwup that was their relationship? (whatever kind it was)

* I acknowledge open relationships don't fit into this all that well, but I think monogamy is probably enough of a cornerstone of serious relationships for most people for it to fit as a general outline.

Padma may be a blip on the comic's radar for a while - a distant ship that was passed in the night.  She may never be seen again, or we may get a strip of her reaction to Marten.  However, we don't know - Gramma dies, she comes back to NH - she may make a regular reappearance in the strip.  I wouldn't put anything past Jeph. 

YMMV.

Clearly the term "a date" means different things to different people.  I'd be inclined to call 2073 a date, but going on one date is not the same as saying "they are dating"; subtle, I guess.

Anyway, Marten's email won't be ignored; Jeph wouldn't make such a specific plot point just to drop it, I think.  There'd be no real development in Padma simply blowing Marten off, either - so the main possibilities that occur to me are (1) she says she's coming back as Granny is now dead/better/hates her/moving to Northampton with her, or (2) she invites Marten to California, and he goes (whether we get to see the visit is another matter - but we saw Faye going back home, way back when, after all).

Oh man yeah, that whole strip does have that aspect to it. I guess the thing is you can go on a date... and never see the person again. a date is essentially (at first) getting to know one another (and later potentially?) trying to judge that you're sure you might want to commit in some way to someone.

Did they ever get past the "getting to know each other" stage?

I think Padma is more likely to come back (even if just for a visit) than Marten to go see her - she's got the Secret Bakery folks to see where as dropping Marten into California (on his own?) offers very little to DO with the strip. Even this space arc (which has introduced a large amount of characters who we may not see again) has had three of the core characters in it and it's switched between them. Can you imagine a Marten and Padma in California arc? The WCDT would descend fully into chaos!

Anyway I wonder if Padma will have moved on? Perhaps the lesson will be that Marten had his chance to say his bit and he fluffed it, so now it's too little too late to make a difference. It may bring him some closure though.

Marten going to California just to see Padma might be a bit much, but what about him going to visit family/old friends and making a side trip?  We could get some more insight into Marten's past in addition to furthering/resolving the Padma situation.

I don't know if Martin going to California would make sense at this point just to vist family and friends. I think a likely scenario is that Padma has met somebody. Sure, it hasn't been that long, but it doesn't take more than a visit to the Pharmacy to meet some dude and go out for coffee.  I think Padma was more of a life lesson for Martin than a long term relationship. He's learned he's got to grab life with both fists, instead of waiting for life to drop something in his lap.

Or I could be completely wrong about everything.

Faye calling him an idiot based on him e-mailing seems kind of unlikely considering that he's trying to rectify the assery she called him out on earlier; I'd expect her to approve.  As for Dora, I don't know.

Trying to rectify his assery could actually end up with him just getting yelled at again; after all Marten seems fated get a proper ego crush on a regular basis.

You may very well be right...a part of me would hope that the universe would be satisfied with the relatively minor ego crush he got from Lt. Potter, for a little while anyway.  Probably a false hope, but if the real stuff isn't available...  :-D

I think another character calling Marten some variation on 'idiot' is also becoming the default for the strip.
Personally, if she made an angry phone call/email back, I would feel validated in my original decision to discontinue contact in the first place.  "I'm so pissed at you for ducking me after I ducked you!"  "Ah. Psycho as I suspected."

It is also barely possible that Station is just being nice to Hannelore, and wants to give her a pleasant experience. Or something that he thinks could be a pleasant experience. I doubt that Station would know about Hannelore's pretendate with Sven.

Yet, the creepier alternatives cannot be ignored.  Station may be behind the idea of BFbot.

A sad alternative explanation would be that in her teens Hannelore had a crush on Station. She may have even pushed for intimacy. But the memory of that epic failure has been blissfully wiped out. This theory puts HannerDad's reaction in this comic into a different light. A concerned father as opposed to a creepy nerd.

Well, we know from Pintsize that human-robot makeouts are legal, so logically Station would indeed be the perfect first boyfriend for her.
Logically.

Common sense says that any kind of relationship between Hannelore and Station probably won't happen.

Therefore, I say that we're reading into this too much. The suggestion that the circumstances were a date was Hannelore's idea and not Station's, after all. He might have just wanted a quiet dinner (which he can't eat, I guess) to talk about things, catch up on each other's existences since they last met.

Ya, but this isn't "lol all chinese/italian/black/swedish people look the same lol". This is the case of two entities actually looking exactly the same. Getting confused between two AIs using the same hologram or the same chassis is justified as far as I'm concerned - and if AIs were petty enough to get offended by it... well, then clearly they'd be a very good simulation of humans...

Except that Padma actually has sex. And Padma is just generally clueless.

Oh, and I had to vote for the "you don't even know my first name" option. I am, after all, a Carrie Underwood fan. And her hubby has a special place in my heart as well (at least, as long as he's wearing a certain hockey team's laundry).

And did anyone else get the joke about her being called "Abby" - especially after she essentially gave Marten all this advice?
