Loki:
Sooo...
Is anyone else bothered by how apparently Claire has full access to Marten's phone, yet he fought with Dora over her snooping through his computer?

Different circumstances-- if Marten says, "read this, I can't" it's entirely different than her surfing through his browsing history just because
Tova:
I guess he trusts her not to go snooping through his stuff without his blessing? No, I'm not bothered by that, oddly enough.

Main difference being that Dora went ahead and snooped on her own initiative despite Marten clearly not wanting her to. Though Claire has demonstrated similar ... initiative ... in breaching boundaries, we've also seen a greater level of trust between Marten and Claire than we saw between Marten and Dora (who seems to have done some growing-up of her own since the breakup.)
Still bugs me, though -- I got it drilled into my head years ago that answering someone else's cellphone was seen as kind of squicky; they're "personal property" in the way that the phone growing out of the wall wasn't, quite. (I'm thinking of the time when a co-worker went home for the night, leaving her cellphone on her desk, and then her mother called. I was one desk over and answered ("Hello, this is (DSL), answering Maribeth's phone!") and I could almost feel the Mom's hackles go up on the other end of the connection. Letting Maribeth know her phone was at work since she had no landline (a pioneering move in those days) was its own comedy of errors.

You're not the only one.
