And did anyone else catch the little moment with Stark and Allison when he called her Allie? I think that it was the "Allie" that made her give up.
Buffy! If I wanted to fight, you could tell by the being dead already.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Not having seen the episode yes, I have to wonder: what are you doing during sex that you get broken ribs from it??
(N.b. I have never broken ribs, so it's entirely possible that people with broken ribs are always thinking, "Okay, no more handcuffs and pleather swing! I am way too sore!!")

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
There's nothing to explicitly say that Stark was assuming "broken ribs" -- he could have just been assuming "sore and worn out."

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I enjoyed the episode, but I'm getting real sick of "It sounds like they're talking about sex, but actually they're talking about something else." gag. It just feels done to death for me.
I am glad they avoided the "awkward confusion with relative" scene after Zoe spotted Allison's purse, though.
ETA: The same clothes scene with Stark was amusing, though.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yes, quite.
In fact, "yes, quite" to your whole post.
It's funny the things that work and the things that don't work.

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

I keep trying to answer this and getting distracted by laughter.
It's not that hard to break ribs. A bit of unregulated pressure/compression and you can definitely do it.
I hate that "Aha! Not talking about sex!" gag so much it's not even a gag anymore, but instead a prompt to work out what in hell they're actually talking about before they pan out and reveal it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I thought for sure that "10% of our brains" fallacy was completely played out.

Me too, but he qualified it with "at one time" so I let it slide.

Yeah, that's the biggie for me. With "at one time" I'm just fine, even if the %age is a bit off.
