I do not know why I love this episode so much, but I do. Anyway, so I know we have discussed this episode before, but while trying to write my story about the episode, I began wondering about the

Okay, first, I'm freaked out. You post a discussion/question on the day I finally come back to fandom (after three weeks of RLing). It's more than being on the same page... That's telepathy right there! o.o Perhaps we should have our brains analyzed by Magnus

We are on the same page quite a lot of the time! I love it! I was sitting here at my desk at work and all of a sudden it just hit me - the meds - what do the meds mean!!??

I get what you are saying and it gave me a thought. In the dream world, she paints instead of saving the world. When she stops painting, she goes back to the medication. So, in real life, saving the world is her drug - it is what keeps her going, or she would have to stop and think about everything and then she would get depressed. Which makes me wonder what on earth did she do for those 113 years!! So, in the dream world, she has become unfocused on her painting - it isn't enough for her anymore - but she doesn't know that she is supposed to be out saving the world - she she needs the medication. Wow - and you said you were babbling :)

Well, I guess I will have to think about it later - need to work on work stuff now.
