What relationship would you have liked to see more of?
Sorry if this topic has been discussed before....
Lately I've been thinking about how the non-romantic relationships on QAF evolve over time and go in unexpected directions (like with Ted and Brian). However, there are some relationships that I wish the writers had let us see more of because I think they have so much potential.
The relationship that I wish had been explored more is the friendship that developed between Carl and Emmett. I think there is/was great potential for a father-son relationship that Emmett in particular could benefit from. It seems like his only adult 'caretaker' as a child was his Aunt Lula. So I think the possibility of having a father figure that he could trust unconditionally would be a relationship that he would really value.
We see a couple of scenes: where Emmett talks to Carl when Deb's in crisis over Vic, where Carl talks to Emmett about staying at the house. When Carl tells Em that he's a good man, you can see that he wants Emmett to take it to heart (like any good parent). So very good scenes, but I would have loved to see some more.
Any relationship that you'd like to have seen on-screen more?
