That's most likely a placebo effect born out of the sincere but wrong belief that the brand medication is any different than the generic. Get a loved one to buy your medicine for you so they can save money by buying generic and putting it into a brand-name bottle for you.

vvv Yeah, well, there's a reason I'm not a doctor or pharmacist. It is true generics can have small differences from the way people react to the filler to differences in the coating causing a change in the release or uptake of the medicine, which is super important for things like anti-depressants or other long-term medicines. I base my comment on when people say, "No Ibuprofen won't work, I need Advil." or "I need Bayer Aspirin, CVS Aspirin is made cheap."

It's for epilepsy, so it's not really the type of thing that can be cured psychosomatically.

But yeah, agreed that being picky about something simple like headache relief would be very dumb and very Dinette Set.

What is that, um, "animal" supposed to be? I mean, I'm assuming some sort of a herbivore because Kevin, but I have no idea what it could be based on how Holbrook drew it. Groundhog maybe? Gotta be because it's got two chins.

That's a wolf. Was a former "villain"; after having his life ruined by the protagonists he disappeared for a while, developed an eating problem, and came back to work for them and be comic relief.

I am not joking.

Edit: Whoops, forgot I had a backlog of like fifty posts before responding to this, so I'm really late. Oh well.

No need to send a big bad after the gate party, because Anansi is a traitor! A pretty decent (if short) bit of foreshadowing. Also, the look on Kotick's face is pretty incredible.

Anansi will probably turn out to be a triple-agent. I mean, if you're the 4th-wall breaking character on the team, and you know that superspy teams likes this often have a traitor, why not fill the spot yourself so someone else can't, and then just help the team anyway?

The whole Safe Havens merpeople/just leisurely DNA swapping/trapeze attached to nothing sub plot is truly strange -- even for Holbrook. It just doesn't make any sense at all.

Jesus, Paige...

And we're yanked out of the prior story arc, and apparently dropped back into the present, which is actually a flashback, quite possibly within several other nested flashbacks in today's Jane's World.
