Momo, do not turn this into a morality themed story arc where you storm in there and try and change things, or start shouting at faye for enabling it. no
i am not in the mood for a drama llama arc right now Jacques. don't do it, do not even think about doing it, do not even think about not doing it!

It could just as easily be a setup for commentary on those who must immediately rush in and Make Things Right, whether those being Righted want to be or not.

that's true. i would be ok with that.

Just a random thought, what with Jeph drawing analogies between AI rights in the comic and other social issues in our world. (The weird thing with Pintsize two weeks ago notwithstanding.)

Two female AIs, even. Honest question - who reckons that means it passes the 'standard' (for want of a better word) version as well?

Chassis.

It does, but that's no surprise. QC easily passes the Bechdel test most of the time. It would almost be hard not to given that the cast is mostly made up of women, and this isn't a 'harem anime' where everything comes back to the focus on one male character. Marten may be the most important male character, but there is no 'main character' really. Faye is just as important to the story, and the huge cast of secondary characters all play big roles. It's unuaual to get a multi-month story arc based on Hanners, or Dora, or Claire etc...
