Once a dead thing can walk and talk and eat and grow fangs and brow ridges on demand, I don't worry about how it can get an erection. Obviously shit I don't understand is happening there.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Are we veering dangerously back into the forbidden territory of "Do vampires poop?" talk? -- because if we are, I feel the need to filibuster the thread with salad shooter discussion instead.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
Didn't we used to have a FAQ entry about this?
We still have a FAQ entry about it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
They don't have reflections in mirrors, and their clothes crumble to dust when they're staked. It's not as if the things are overburdened with the sensible physics to begin with.

Or, as the Angel crew would say "IT'S A SHOW ABOUT VAMPIRES!!!"

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Handwavey magic, apparently. Though back in Buffy Season 2 there was speculation that they might be able to gorge on blood until their overall BP was raised enough to be able to function.
Other handwavey theories I've seen include the vampire consciously willing blood to go to the important places. (I read a lot of trashy vampire books, obviously.)

What is even happening?

That's all I really had to offer.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
You're right -- I forgot we separated the mythology into it's own thang.
Q. If vampires don't have a heartbeat or blood pressure, how do they achieve an erection?
A. Willpower. And a little touch of Jossy Dust.

Duly noted. I withdraw the notion.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I hadn't realised that Klingon arms and legs were ridged.
hehehe
Voltaire actually did a song called Worf's Revenge (Klingon Rap) which has the lines:
"I'm not a lowly white p'tak like that Barclay guy
I don't need a holodeck to get a parma'kai
When the ladies see the beast I got between my thighs
They say "Perhaps today is a good day to die"
I hit Ezri ,Troi, Jadzia too
Watch out Janeway I'm coming for you
I'm the MacDad Klingon with the humanoid bitches
Cause my head ain't the only part of me that's got ridges"
