--- Quote from: Storel on 13 Dec 2017, 16:56 ---Well, 3632 is titled "A Question Finally Answered", but I submit that it actually answers two questions: not only does it establish why robots are able to blush, but it also confirms (for those who still harbored some doubt) that Tilly is not a robot herself.

Not necessarily, they might be a robot but still not know why they're able to blush. How many of your autonomic functions do you fully understand? :-P
(yes, I know, Tilly's human, quiet you!)

Hmmmh ... what's Ridley Scott's take on that?

I think I can see how this is going to go; if Hannelore tries to dismiss Tilly at the end of the 48 hours, she'll be shamed into changing her mind by Marten and Claire. Or, she'll have some kind of change of heart by the end of the 48 hours and decide to keep Tilly around after all. Either way, she'll be stuck with Tilly. Along with the rest of us. :-P

I sorta doubt it. I mean, I'm pretty sure they'll be around in some form, but I don't think it'll be a) this consistently or b) as Hannelore's...anything. Most likely a recurring cameo role.
Not because of fan backlash or anything (if that's even significant in the first place), but cast balance and how much Tilly is being placed up front right now. It seems like the result of wanting to get a lot of Tilly drawn and played out before they go back on the shelf, to me. If they were going to have a more core role I think Jeph would've moved to a new PoV after the cafe visit for a bit.
Just my impression, no firm foundation for it.
Edit: welp, now I know just how sick I am. Didn't even notice the pronoun snafu until this moment. Fixt.

I've made this point before but I don't see Marten's passive behind caring enough to intercede on Tilly's behalf and, also, I haven't seen anything yet that makes me think he sees them as a friend. So, even if he wasn't all, "blah" about life, why would he butt into Hanner's(his friend for years) business to tell her that she shouldn't distance herself from someone he JUST met, literally, yesterday(in comic time).
And, sadly, while I can see Claire being stupid enough to try it, we'd still run into the same issue of someone else taking away Hannelore's agency for their own selfish reasons.
Is it cold in here?:

--- End quote ---
Same here. So far I've been able to catch my slip-ups before I hit Post.
Bad Superman:
Switching from she/her to they/them when referring to Tilly was surprisingly easy.
Reading other people's posts however is a different topic. Sometimes when I read a *they* or *them* I find myself asking 'What *they*?', or 'Who are *they*?', before I realise 'Oh, the poster meant Tilly!'.
