FENWAY ALL SLEEPY AND STUBBLY AND CAN I HAZ HIM!? Eeeee, that pushes my fangirl buttons like cuh-razy.

Apparently ecstasy does not agree with the signal (the larger assumption being that all drugs = don't agree with signal). Signal boosts serotonin production to levels that are dangerously high when combined with a drug doing the same thing, it seems?

Strange aside, but it makes me wonder what it would be like for someone on an anti-depressant. Would it screw them up? Like overdosing on their meds?

Nigel: ...Very bad trip.

Hahahaha, Nigel is *totally* speaking from experience, here.

TOTALLY.

Alien medical research is only 14 days old. Oh, man, Nigel! You do not have an easy job.

LOL, is it any wonder he's so grumpy? The genetic structure of this thing, a possible cure, every bit of research rests on his shoulders. That's no small thing.

Dream team!

Too right, hehe!

Oh, the hand on Nigel's back. ♥

She acknowledges that this is hard on him. Nigel makes me wibble and wanna hug him! And... well... more than that, but you get the picture. :p

I think he looks better clean-shaven, but oddly enough, I know what you mean! There's something about a grumpy, strung-out Fenway that's appealing.

Ugh, now I'm imagining Beverly ordering him to lie down on the couch and bringing him a hot mug of tea. ♥

That's a good question, because they only mention "recreational drugs," but they don't address the fact that a lot of prescription drugs can act on the same parts of the brain. I'm guessing that would cause an averse reaction, too, although Nigel did say that for the recreational users they'd be fine once they processed the drugs through their system. (And now I'm wondering if a system overloaded on drugs would react badly to the full-strength signal. Hmmmm.)

I feel like he and Molly have the scariest of the jobs. Because, yeah, what *everyone* is doing is vital in its own way, but until Nigel comes up with a cure, those infectees are going to present a danger, and they're not going to have any way to ACTIVELY fight what's happening, they can only manage and contain. He's the linchpin that a lot of this fight is resting on and that's just... an unimaginable amount of responsibility.

Yeah, I love that as antagonistic as they can be, they can also have moments like this where they really get each other. Aaaaagh, THESE CHARACTERS.
