*hisses in Bia's general direction* I think we'll be stumbling into several reasons to hate her as we go back and re-read the archives, but this one is BAD.

By the time the current storyline winds up, the entire cast will be standing in line to kick Bia's butt.

You are a Whovian as well. Cool.

Sorry, not into Brit Sci-Fi and Timey-wimey ball stuff.

Brain-ectomy? I don't remember that (no pun intended )? When did something happen to his brain?

Right about here - http://wapsisquare.com/comic/sphinxed-out/

And I can't hold this in any longer... (please don't be offended)

She was the Bathory's daughter
And hung those poor folks from a hook
'Til the sad day
The Inquisition held sway
And they bricked her up tight in the rook

Me neither. I always thought the Dr. Who series was just too full of itself.

I was never a huge fan of the original series, but the revival is Something Else.

Ok, thank you. I didn't remember that bit although I do remember the series of comics.
And, not offended at all.

Boxilar wrote:(Shelly is) the first Titan/Sphinx hybrid successfully bred. Thing is, I'm bettting Bia has tried before, but she went the convoluted route of convincing Phix to give up her son to secretly breed with until she got a daughter because a direct Shinx/Titan mating didn't work. Bia needed human glue to stick two incompatable parts together.

Did I mention I really don't like Bia?

Oh. OH! I just had a nasty thought.

Bia picked Shelly's Dad because he was the child of a human/sphinx hybrid, right? Was it ever stated outright that the hybrid in question was his father? And aside from Shelly and Phix, have we seen any human-headed sphinxes? 'Cause I has me a suspicion...that maybe Bia's breeding program goes further back than we've yet been told...

If so, and if Phix just put it together, it would make her feral episode that much more explicable.

And also if so, I really, really, really don't like Bia.

And that will be Paul's cue to throw in another twist that makes Bia sympathetic again (well, no, I'm not expecting that, but we all know he could, don't we?).

Just one point you missed. Shelly's dad is the only hybrid we know in this equation. His father was human and (I would guess) the one that raised him.

Ah, but don't forget Popcorn Grandma:

Shelly's "natural" grandmothers seem to be Phix and Styx. Who acted as grandma to make that delicious popcorn?

"Shelly is the first Sphinx/Titan hybrid ever bred." Hmmm. EXCEPT FOR A WHOLE INFIELDS WORTH OF OLDER BROTHERS everyone seems to forget about - who should be just as awesome as Shelly if their ancestry is ever expressed.

Just a thought - that Shelly might have a ready source of superpowered family as allies...... (c8

Except that males can't transform, and being able to transform was the catalyst to activate Shelly's Titan powers.

But Shelly was showing signs of being 'special' long before the Sphinx genes manifested. You still have 7 Commanche boys running around out there that quite possible have some sort of minor power. And probably a yen for adventure, too.

They just better be over teasing their little sister...

Perhaps the bowling ball to the head was the true catalyst that unlocked Shelly's hidden abilities, and 80,000 years was just enough time for it to resolve.

Or perhaps I've just watched too many episodes of The Flintstones.

And, while we have no evidence to the contrary, we also have no evidence that Bia was their mother - i mean, childhood friend shows up for the first time in years after beloved wife has mysteriously dies, consoles grieving widower, things progress...

Does anyone here think Bia wouldn't have murdered Shelly's Dad's first wife to gain her own ends in a situation like that?

Easy...Shelly's grandfather (the one who got busy with Phix) probably remarried at some point...and that would be the only mother the Shelly's dad remembers and the only paternal grandmother that Shelly knows.

Plausible, but only a theory until we get more hard evidence about Shelly's family history. This "not knowing" is enough to drive a girl crazy though.

Thanks for nothing , now I have to wonder if I have enough reasons to dislike Bia here.
