(Someone needs to write a note on their hand - "Monsters are here!" - though I can hardly blame anyone for not thinking of that yet, considering the circumstances...!)
hahaha, that's EXACTLY what I said to the husband, sometime around the point where River popped up from the catacombs and is all, "Nope, no monsters here!" Come on, guys, write a note on your hand; haven't any of you ever seen Memento? XD Though, like you said, under the circumstances, it's understandable that they're just going moment-to-moment and not doing a stellar job of thinking on their feet.
It was really interesting to watch this after we'd been talking about Eleven's visible portrayal of his age and alienness ... I don't think I really saw it all that much last season, but I see it a lot more now. I don't know if it's because of that conversation and various other meta that I've read since I saw the previous season (I watched it all in a batch, so I didn't have much time to process) or just that it was front-and-center in that episode, but yeah ... I do see it, and I also kinda see where you were coming from with the Peter Wingfield/Methos comparison, too.
