And I Must Scream is when someone is conscious, but can't move, talk or do anything for eternity/very long time, right?

Yet I've also see examples of it in pages that instead talks about how someone is conscious and yet their bodies are manipulated to do something they don't want. Or when their soul is trapped inside something mobile and/or aiming for destruction and they can't do anything about it. Yup, it is often also used for "they're conscious, trapped, and unable to do something" without the "imprisoned for long/eternity" part.

What to do?

A bit too dependent on anecdotal evidence to work as a thread.
