You're probably right on the money with the Galactica reference. I remembering thinking that "Chosen" came off a bit like JW had just seen Lord of the Rings; now all the exposition in this makes me think he's just mainlined Galactica, and was thus inspired to misinterpret evolution. But the sex is just... silly, really. It plays like a joke, albeit of the sort of potty-mouthed fanboy variety. So glad to see Buffy's love life reduced to the same level as jokes about Captain America's shield. That has dignity.
But if boinking is the key to opening the dimensional portals and letting the Old Ones back in, does this mean we need to go back and reevaluate seven seasons' worth of Hellmouth symbology?
So... the Hellmouth was always meant to be a vagina, giving birth to monsters? But then there's the Slayer with her phallic symbol stake and... yeah, shutting up now.
