Here's a right handed Hand of Glory (actual).
That's interesting, because every bit of folklore & occult history I've ever seen was very specific about it needing to be the left (sinister) hand. But neat that there's actually a HoG in a museum somewhere!
Jilli, you've seen Harold and Maude, right?
I suspect that last week's episode suffered from a bad script that needed to be rewritten and could not be made into a silk purse, not even for ready money, based on the Kripke comments reported from the strike lines.
I saw Harold & Maude long, long ago, and need to see it again.

I know! I get Buffy Tourette's whenever the Hand of Glory is discussed in any context. Buffy season 5's throw-away line uttered (I think by Giles) in the magic shop, "The Hand of Glory packs a powerful punch." When I watched (the original)
The Wicker Man
on New Year's Eve, which featured one somewhat prominently, it took me out of the film. Ditto this episode of
Supernatural
(although as Plei mentions it probably wasn't an episode I mind being taken out of).
I was mildly spoiled (for premise) and hoped the ghost ship episode would be so much more than it was, although I see a lot (maybe I'm taking too much) of potential in the image of both ghost brothers sort of merging and poofing.
I like Bela. I think I like her better than Ruby.
I know I like her better than Ruby. This could be my Y chromosome talking.

You do. I will burble at you tomorrow about it.

But there were tuxes!
::crickets::
Yeah, that's pretty much all I've got. Well, no, there were a few good one-liners, too, but it definitely was the weakest episode of the season for me.
And tuxes!
No, that tag never closes.
"Don't objectify me" gave me love.
Then again, it may have been the arm folding or the face making.
"Can I shoot her?"
"Not in public."
It was weak overall. But there were a few cute moments. I still don't like Bela but, eh, she's obviously not going anywhere.
I will start liking Bela more once she develops more than one expression. Smug condescension wears thin quickly. It wore through during her first episode.
