It sounds like it's worse than most fanfic I've read.
Oh, BURN! Nah, once you get past the main premise of "Uh, Brennan suddenly wants to spawn wtf??" the writing's not too bad. Better comedy than we've had in a while. And they nearly came up with a rationalization for it: Brennan's idea of emotionally "safe," commitment-free intimacy is... artificial insemination to acquire desirable genes. Of course it is. So... yeah. Alt!universe crackfic.
And then, yes, brain tumors. But! They explain the hockey hallucination, and the ship ghost! (And the appearance of Stewie, and that appearance alone was almost enough to keep me from watching the ep. But it was done... about as well as a hallucinated cartoon character can be done. Think Farscape.)
And yeah, Angela and Hodgins got back together... sorta? Vaguely? They're definitely headed in that direction, anyway, and soon. They were all, "Oh, the ephemerality of this life we lead! We could be snatched away at any moment by a brain tumor! Let us frolic!" Which... I'm kinda thinking B&B will be headed down that path next week. My eyes, too, were a-roll.
Yeah, I dunno if I'll manage to actually watch this episode.
Think low expectations. Then lower them some more. Then you'll have fun!
Maybe if I can find some kind of alcohol substitute...
A solid caffeine- or sugar-high would help, I believe...
