--- Quote from: DrBear on 26 Feb 2013, 11:32 ---It reminds me of the space station arc - there was an interruption in that one, of course - but that also feels like Jeph stretching his abilities, putting his characters in new and unforeseen situations and locations. Nothing wrong with that. We'll be back at the COD before you know it.

For sure, I understand that it's necesary to break the pattern and try new things in order to keep it interesting, and it has been nice getting to see more of Marten's family dynamics and Claire's reactions to it all, but still I'm starting to miss the rest of the cast. Maybe it wouldn't feel so strange (to me) if this story arc was intercut every now and again with stuff going on "back home". I think this all seems so foreign because Marten is pretty much the only one representing the "core" of the QC group right now, as Claire is still a very recent character and Marten's parents don't appear enough in the comics to feel like familiar faces.

I don't think so.

Being Trans tends to broaden your mind.

Certainly it does. I didn't mean to suggest Claire hates on any of that stuff. I simply meant that after the turmoil of transition, she may want a slice of "normality" to act as an anchor for her life. That's what a great many transfolk want - to feel "normal". And surrounding yourself with "normal" things is a way to move towards that.

nb. the scare quotes around "normal".

Is it cold in here?:
I don't know how the family kept her profession secret after Marten used her bondage gear for Show&Tell.

mustang6172:
Why is "recognize" in quotation marks?

DSL:
I read that as "(tried very hard to pretend they didn't) recognize."
