It's always mind control, isn't it?

So. Nightmares.

Something to do with glowy faces and low-flying helicopters and doorbells. Whatever it was, it ended with my waking myself (and my roommate *winces*) an hour early by yelling: "Give us the owls! Give us the owls!"

And then, after getting back to sleep (ish) and waking up at a more reasonable time, I go to watch a totally random, never-before-seen Avengers episode before breakfast.

And the episode? Is "Too Many Christmas Trees", featuring Steed going progressively insane due to mind-controlly nightmares. Heehee!

So, y'know, if I start loudly singing songs and obsessing over socks and Santa Claus and handing out pens with tear gas, that's probably why.

(Best possible microcosm of The Avengers: Steed and Emma discussing a murder case, all serious-like. Perfectly normal dialogue. But, for no apparent reason, Emma is sitting on the couch, playing a freakin' huge tuba, and Steed's standing on tables shooting golf balls all over the place. No wonder I love this show!)

Also: the response on my request for fic-related assistance? Absolutely overwhelming. You guys rock!
