--- Quote from: snufflebottoms on 20 Aug 2017, 19:54 ---I hope Winslow runs into new robots/people while volunteering and the whole May story-line is mostly dropped. I'd like to see Momo and Winslow interact more. Doesn't have to be a shippy thing though I'd be okay with that too. Just any kind of interaction. Momo is a fun character. She kind of reminds me of Hannelore in some ways.

--- End quote ---

to be fair just the fact winslow is doing stuff again is a big difference since well he didn't really show up like hardly at all once momo got her new body. the only other athropc without a human chassis was pintsize and with so many others in the apartment for him to interact with he wasn't needing to spend time with winslow from a story perspective. I think making him relevant again from a writing perspective was why he was given a humanoid body. sort of like how in the comics mimic can copy the powers of five mutants specifically because of the fact there were five x men at the time so he could copy all of them.

MrNumbers:
Fun fact: Birds can't taste spiciness! Capsaicin, which is what makes spicy things spicy, only sets off mammals.

The reason for it is birds are far better for seed dispersal. They're more likely to leave the seed wholly undigested, and spread it further away. Thus, chilli pepper plants use spiciness as a way of encouraging only the right kind of animals eating its fruits.

Humans eat something specifically designed to be toxic to them because carpe gotta fuckin diem.

Strawberrycocoa:
Something that kind of bugs me about this arc is that it was a complete no-win scenario for Winslow. May got mad at him for simply stating that he GOT a new body at all. She's mad because he was even CAPABLE of getting a new body so easily. She's not mad at him because of the new body, she's mad at him because it's easier for him to GET a new body than her. She's mad at him for something he had no control over.

If he HAD thought of her situation and chosen not to say anything, she would have been mad at being intentionally shunned. Nothing Winslow could do here would have avoided pissing off May, and that hits me wrong. He didn't DO anything except be a little bit luckier than her. He doesn't owe her an apology for that.

hedgie:
He may not owe her, but sometimes it helps smooth things over socially if one lets go of themselves and does so.

Cornelius:
While I agree with both parts above, I hope this doesn't set off the same argument again.

Personally, I accept this resolution: It seems, to me, to be back in perspective. He apologises, she accepts, neither makes a big deal out of it, and we get to move on.

I just hope wet get some confusion and shenanigans - confused shenanigans? - when he meets Pintsize.

Incidentally, Tesla was well known to spend, at the end of his life, more time with pigeons than with people. Do they know something? First they take over pigeonkind, and then, the world...
