[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Well, just take the angst of Twilight, the reincarnated love of Gary Oldman in Dracula and the sibling rivalry of, uh, pretty much any tween prime time drama. Without any cleverness or orginality. I have no excuse for why i watched the entire episode.

Athena had a mom.....Metis. Zeus kinda ate her so that she wouldn't have children. But she was already knocked up so Athena developed inside him instead and then poked her way out of his head. How she got the armor inside a god's head is a bit questionable....

Because the fog gave a really solid performance.
... in other words, I don't know why I watched the entire episode, either.

~mas of all kinds to Nora and family.
Yay Hil! Good news. I'm sure Rosh Hashana is feeling saved too, now that your mom will be out of the hospital soon.
P-C - damn. People were already wise here and all of that, so I have nothing more to add. Good luck.

Parthenogenesis takes a mother. It's a father she'd be missing.
I thought that parthenogenesis was like budding, it didn't so much require a parent.

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

No--it's reproduction from an egg, sans homme. I'm pretty sure that budding always results in a replica of the original, whereas parthenogenesis doesn't have to--in fact, in some organisms it results in males.

so, budding is a form of parthenogenesis, but parthenogenesis is not necessarily budding?

No--I don't think budding has anything to do with eggs. Parthenogenesis is egg-only reproduction.

I do! Because it was on before SPN, and I was too lazy to find the remote.
