I was a bit disappointed when the came close to but missed the famous
Star Wars quote "I've got a bad feeling about this."

In no case where anyone has seen the true face of a spirit while the
inhabitation is taking place.  Gerard has always looked like Gerard,
but Mike the Dwarf looked quite different in the dream.  All of the
sightings of Bob have been when Leland is not physically present; in
the sightings of the Giant SDCTWMDRSW (love them acronyms; I'm going
to be terribly depressed should SDCTWMDRSW actually have a real name)
has been nearby but not physically located with the Giant.

The few scenes where Leland and Bob alternate are all presented either
as Leland/Bob seeing himself, or from the omniscient camera.
