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.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

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.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday billtea and happy day-after-your-birthday Polter-Cow and happy day one and all.
Hee. Thank you (and everyone else). It has now been the day after my birthday for a while, since I am on the other side of the International Date Line. I is now 40. I'm sure I'll start acting like it any day now.
Anyway, I just got back from picking up my birthday present - I have an iPhone! And no real idea how to use it yet. Still, today I'm feeling all tech-savvy just through association.
