I realized today that no matter how much my life sucks, at least I DON'T have Ned Stuart walking in the door and refusing to leave! And it gave me a lot to be grateful for, too. That whole scene is so ridiculous anyway. I mean NOONE enters someone's home and intends to wait for hours for them to return, at least not in those circumstances. And telling Julia and Barney it's OK for them to go! Uh, yeah, right. (Alternate reality: they leave and Chris comes home to a stripped bare place. Julia and Barney are astonished and try to explain, "But Chris, he SAID he knew you! He said it was OK!")
I must say that I find Barney's wanting to help Chris quite touching. This is the first thing he has done that has nothing in it for him. (I don't think getting all fired up about helping the Collinses counts.) It is a pleasant change that Barney isn't out for anything and he hasn't tried to kill Naggie or risk her life in quite a while even! It is a good thing we have a couple of new supernatural beings around or it would be getting dull.
