ROTFL
Now that was a really great one :-D :-D :-D
Tago Mago:
We also have to take into account Penelope's Homeric namesake. Think about it: she remains faithfully behind while her lover goes off on a voyage of self-understanding.

I won't, and you can't make me.
Anyway, my infantile tendencies aside, comparing Wil's journey to the Odyssey is stretching things a teeny bit. After all, I think Odysseus pretty much knew himself from the start (didn't want to leave, clever bastard, would do anything to get home). Too, we haven't seen Penelope weaving, keeping her legs crossed, or refusing marriage proposals from a hundred-odd men while Wil was gone.
On the other hand, she is bloody stubborn, an observation that I'm sure was made by more than one of the Suitors.
Near Lurker:
All we hear is...
Tago Mago:
Yeah, I guess it's a tenuous theory. The only incontrovertible parallel QC has with classical Greece is ubiquitous homosexuality.
