I'm laughing at all of you who think Claire is wearing a wig. With proper shampoo/conditioner regimen, any hair can be soft and fluffy. I think everyone's overthinking this. 

I was thinking that Claire was wearing a wig for plot reasons - as in, Emily would pull to get her hands un-stuck, and the wig would come off. And then we'd get to see just how tactless Emily could be. But, Jeph didn't go that route, it seems.

[TinPenguin]

Red hair certainly is possible with Tai's skin.

Human genetics is quite a bit more variable than simple groupings like putting those together, yeah. It's just more common. Example of something rarer:

oh my god so cute

Why is there NEVER anyone else in the library?

I guess its a clone of the Sunnydale library[1].

[1] If you dont get it - thats a reference to the Buffy the vampire slayer tv show. Never ANYONE but the Scoobies was in the school library [2]

[2] Except for the one time when they lampshaded it that there usually never was anyone but the Scoobies in the school library [3].

[3] Yes, I read too much tvtropes.org ...

Maybe all the sensible people stayed away from the library because it was, you know, right on top of the Hellmouth.

Like how in the last season, nobody actually knew what kind of apocalypse was about to happen, but they all left town anyway.

Just to comment on the hair thing, I "like" the antlers.

So who else would moose their hair?

But nobody knew that the centre of the Hellmouth was right below the library until later on, and the library was definitely empty during the first season.

Just want to say something about jwhouk's assertion about changing gender so as not to be "twins"...

a) I don't need to tell you that that's not a reason to "go trans", and

2) it probably increased the likelihood of being mistaken for twins.  If they're different genders, they're fraternal twins - but if they're the same gender and only look a bit alike, with noticeable differences, well they can't be identical, now can they? 

Me and my 15 month younger brother were mistaken for twins for years, until there were noticeable differences (mainly size - he got taller, I got rounder). 

[jwhouk]

...There's a reason I state this. Namely, my cousin.

Who was a twin.

And she is now a he.

[Valdís]

I'd wager if you told him "You're just trans because you don't want to look like your sister!" he'd take pretty serious offense to that. Just accidentally being genetically close to a transperson doesn't automatically grant you great insight. That also doesn't show any causation at all.

[Finvara]

Pretty sure, when looking at Claire, that the likelihood is she just felt trans was Right. It can easily be guessed that it is simply FATE for her to be adorable.

I give you the highest possible compliment one punster can give another:

GROOOAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN ...

[Cheesasaurus]

Wig. I'm guessing wig. Very real, as it probably has some AI-like process that makes it feel "fluffy", but it's probably a wig.

I disagree.

a) Wig would likely have come off with Emily's pulling of it (unless it was VERY well held on)

b) Claire says she'd been growing it for four years, likely around the time she started transitioning. Four years worth of hair growing would make it pretty long.

c) A former flatmate of mine who is also ginger has a similar level of bushiness in the hair department so it is entirely possible that Claire is the same.

Just to comment on the hair thing, I "like" the antlers.

You, sir, just won the internet with that pun.

[Is it cold in here?]

There have been other people in the library: the ravers, the Bros, people checking out books (and trying to unsuccessfully while Marten and Tai were sharing an erotic image) and flirting with Marten.

[Barmymoo]

I was about to say "but those people were only there for plot purposes" but I guess that is kind of the point. It's like we never see the characters going to the bathroom except when it's part of a joke or the plot. If Jeph drew every detail of every minute of every scene, each QC day would take about a century.

[Akima]

So who else would moose their hair?

I wish I'd said that. By the time I'd thought of it, you'd already posted. My hair-joke took too long to gell...

These gif-jokes must take Jeph a lot of extra time, but the last two have made me giggle.

[Pilchard123]

Well, try not to feel too cut up about it. It's not worth getting into a lather about.

[Finvara]

Rinse. Repeat.

You guys make my head spin.

[sha'mad conde]

I am disappointed that Emily didn't include Princess Leia bagel-hair as one of the visualizations...

[jwhouk]

You get the feeling that mom or dad did a little too much LDS at Berkley back in the 70's?

[cesium133]

You get the feeling that mom or dad did a little too much LDS at Berkley back in the 70's?

Didn't know there were that many Mormons at Berkeley.

Didn't know there were that many Mormons at Berkeley.

And aren't they supposed to have rules about that sort of behaviour?

[jwhouk]

(facepalm)

No one gets the STIV:TVH joke?

[henri bemis]

I DID!

Double dumbass on all of you.

[Rimwolf]

(facepalm)

No one gets the STIV:TVH joke?

I don't even get "STIV:TVH".

[Valdís]

I don't even get "STIV:TVH".

My brain is telling me it's "Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home" from reading IV as a number and googling what the Star Trek films were called (because I had no hope of guessing those letters). Dunno the reference, though. 

[Akima]

I googled that for you.

[jwhouk]

Kirk used the quote to explain Spock's erratic (for the 20th Century) behavior. The wrong acronym for acid was used to make it seem that Kirk wasn't exactly all there, either.

[Sassafras]

I don't even get "STIV:TVH".

My brain is telling me it's "Star Trek 4: The Voyage Home"

I realized right away that it was Star Trek 4, but I didn't know the subtitle so my brain filled in with "The Vulcan Hard-on". And I don't even read that much slash fiction.

[Carl-E]

"that much"...

Keep telling yourself that, OK? 

[techkid]

Sorry Sassafras, but...

MUST... READ... ALL THE SLASHFIC!

I'd really worry then.

[Bluesummers]

I love that movie, and that's too minutia-y even for me. X_X Go find me some whales.

[Method of Madness]

I've never seen it, but...nuclear wessels.

[Bluesummers]

BWAAAAAHAHAHA...Chekov gets me every time.


...Kidney dialysis. "What is this, the dark ages? Here take this pill."

That's right, kids...don't take pills from strangers, unless they're from the future...because that's totally legit.

[Sassafras]

"that much"...

Keep telling yourself that, OK?

What I meant is that I prefer straight-up fanart to fanfic.   

[WAYF]

Thanks for the poll, jwhouk.

Eventually I had to go with Plaid. It's just the best.

[Wagimawr]

unless they're from the future

McCoy is totally 20th century cranky...no easy way to tell!

[Mr_Rose]

unless they're from the future

McCoy is totally 20th century cranky...no easy way to tell!

Now there's a fanfic in the making; McCoy is secretly a time-displaced 20^th C doctor who was in a hospital that got hit by something weird and experimental during the run up to the eugenics wars and now he has to adapt to the future with all those aliens and funky hyposprays, without giving himself away.

[Is it cold in here?]

That makes a scary amount of sense.

[Bluesummers]

Explains why he's always so pissy and depressed about everything.

[DSL]

Would now be a good time for a colorful metaphor?

[de_la_Nae]

Damnit DSL I'm a doctor, not a clever writer with a deep grasp of metaphors!

[Finvara]

I'm sorry, the joke's dead, Jim.

[DSL]

I am picking up a number of distress signals.

[Carl-E]

Crap, I need to change out of this red shirt.

Thanks! My guess was "Star Trek IV: The Vomit Heaves" but I restrained myself (until now. I'm not much of a Star Trek fan, except for Deep Space 9.)

[Method of Madness]

Deep Space 9 is the only Star Trek series I've seen in its entirety (I've seen First Contact and a couple tOS episodes, but that's it otherwise).

[DSL]

I don't get into the whole "Star Trek rules" vs. "Star Trek sucks" galaxy-wide conflagration kerfluffle except to find it hilariously entertaining (especially when Trekkies and Warsies go at it) but for my money, "ST: Save the Whales" was the best of the movies, simply because it was what various elements of the fandom have been saying Trek was -- drama, adventure, social consciousness, humor all in one, even if a little hammer-handed at times. Also,"Hello! Computer!" and Sulu flying a helicopter and <takeivoice>Oh My!</takeivoice>

Star Trek 90210, featuring the Abramsprise, was also entertaining for different reasons.

[Finvara]

Star Trek, Star Trek: TNG and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine are some of the only shows my father and I could watch together when I was growing up, so they hold a special place in my heart. Plus, it didn't hurt that TNG had that guy from Reading Rainbow on it.

Man, the episode where he talked about books and "dinerspeak" and then accidentally ordered a spaghetti sandwich, that was a great episode.
