--- Quote from: Smallest on 13 May 2013, 09:55 ---On eyes- Lots of people with green and blue eyes have them change based on what they wear, lighting, hormones (as mentioned), and other things.
On Dora, Faye, pizza, and beer/Zebediah's list- I kind of hope Claire doesn't out herself to Dora/Faye, for two reasons. If she does when they're drinking and pizzaing, she might get not taken seriously, shock them too much (making them just like "whoa, holy" instead of "oh! okay."), or something else. The other reason is that I fin it nice for her to just be a girl, not a transwoman, and keeping the other characters thinking of her that way would be best. Of course Marten and Clinton see her as female, but I imagine that with more people knowing will come at least someone who sees her just as trans. Could be one of Dora or Faye (unintentionally, of course), or someone else who either gets told by Claire or someone who slips up.
(also, why isn't Penny in? Pizza is being ordered, this is her chance!)
I'm surprised that there's less speculation of why she's looking for Marten. I'm also curious if she's going to hang out or be discouraged by his lack of existing (probably not, since she stayed for the "argument")

I whole heartedly support this comment for two reasons. One, I don't want Claire to feel like she has to tell people because otherwise she's 'hiding' something and in a way people have a 'right' to know. Faye and Dora would be totally cool, but whether Claire tells them or not is her perogative. Secondly, I like Claire being Claire without it being a trans-centric moment. That's definitely what Jeph is going for with Claire so I completely expect pizza and beers to be pizza and beers. More people will come to know, and react accordingly, but for now I think it's going to be happy times.
That being said... with regards to speculating about Marten I personally think she's there for advice about something. Maybe she likes someone or maybe she wants to talk to him about inviting Clinton to hangout with them more often because he's a misfit too. I don't know, but I think she'll end up getting (contradicting) advice from Dora and Faye (the more ridiculous depending on how drunk Faye gets) and maybe we'll hear Claire's five year plan.

I hope your idea is right because I think that would be great (particularly what I've emphasized). She also might just want to apologize for making a scene at the library (which she didn't, but she could interpret it that way).

When CoD hires old employees start disappearing. You don't want Hanners to vanish...do you?
--- Quote ---I am not quite sure why Claire going after someone would be a new experience?

Snuggle stress seems to point at it. It's not 100% of course and that doesn't mean she hasn't dated, but it comes off as she hasn't dated any straight guys as a girl.

--- Quote from: Neko_Ali on 13 May 2013, 06:44 ---It has actually been long established that the college in town is 'Smif College', which is based on Smith College. So yeah, having Claire attending the college, and having her been there for years now seems either incredibly timely, or a jab at their admissions policy...
--- End quote ---
Do we know which college Claire attends? The library where she is an intern need not have any (other) affiliation with her college.
Method of Madness:
I'm pretty sure they're all grad students at Smif. If anything, the shirt confirms it.
