"My kingdom for a green pen!!"
Though I've never been officially manic, I found that whole episode (as in BP episode) very relatable. The feverish organizing and thought-connections. I would have totally flipped out to have people burst in and tear down the genius too! NOOOOOOO!!!!!
Their depiction of depression (vegged and disconnected in the blue room in the dark) was good too, though it lacked the interminable feel of it. Guess they couldn't really do that though. Who'd tune in or a realistic portayal of
that aspect after all?(!)
One thing that bothered me though was how they showed her med routine, which is to say
not a routine. Sure, I get the whole "can't do things properly thanks to work culture restrictions" thing, but somehow it didn't set right.
I think they do a good job of it. (Certainly better than many others!) (I've seen all that is a available on dvd, so can't comment on anything that's happened beyond that.)
