I'm right-handed and I wear my watch on my right wrist as well.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

But the thing where suddenly Sam is very drunk and that whole conversation felt really out of place

For about 2 seconds, at the beginning of that scene, I thought Sam was possessed by the spirit of the (at that point still unseen) grandmother. I had figured out the invisible girl early on, but I wasn't sure where they were going with grandmom. (All the mother kept saying was that grandmother was in the attic, but no one could speak with her. Why the hell would anyone put someone who had recently had a stroke and who was confined to a wheelchair at the tippy-top of a huge monstrosity that apparently doesn't have an elevator?)

I just really liked the, "You're bossy. And short."

I kept waiting for him to add "and you have stupid hair."

Art Crawl!!!

Yeah, that was just for extra-creepy detail. (I mean, she wasn't even in the private quarters, was she?)

Oh well, "Hunted" was excellent - hopefully the next one will be too.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I mean, I get that Sam could really only say that to Dean when he was drunk but - there was just no lead in to that.

I think the guy getting hung started the drinking. Sam was going on about not being able to save him, and people dying on his watch, or whatever. So while Dean was finding out what happened, Sam was apparently pounding back alcohol.

That would be really rich coming from Sam!

I think the guy getting hung started the drinking.

I think so too, but yeah, it was badly paced in there, so it looked like it was only ten minutes later and Sam was hammered. Could have used a little more lead-in.

Still, I enjoyed it. And really that's all that matters.

A few general spoilers, and some fun commentary. I loved the bit about how Mulder and Scully would interact with Dean and Sam.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

There's something kind of charming in how explicit SPN is with a: the fanservice; and b: the huge honking allegorical anvils.

I did think the drunken Sam pacing was off, but will forgive it for the tortured Sam out the window shot. Which you bet your butt I'm gonna screencap.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

For about 2 seconds, at the beginning of that scene, I thought Sam was possessed by the spirit of the (at that point still unseen) grandmother.

Me too! I was very confused. Also, I thought it was morning or early afternoonish -- I thought it was right after the body was taken away.

Sasquatch! hee!
