| abstract | - Internal monologue, also known as inner voice, internal speech, or verbal stream of consciousness is thinking in words. It also refers to the semi-constant internal monologue one has with oneself at a conscious or semi-conscious level. Much of what people consciously report "thinking about" may be thought of as an internal monologue, a conversation with oneself. Some of this can be considered as speech rehearsal. This storytelling device was used frequently throughout the original series, starting with episode 205, in part due to small cast of any given episode, which usually consisted of no more than five members. It was used in a variety of ways, for example, when Quentin Collins and Count Petofi switched bodies, Quentin would still think with David Selby's voice despite the character being physically portrayed by Thayer David, and vice-versa, as a way of illustrating that Quentin's consciousness was inhabiting Petofi's body.
