But this is so batshit crazy, I sort of love it. I also love that Ichabod is clearly Sherlock Holmes's ancestor in some way.
Old English sounded really Germanic, huh? Unless they're just making that up.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Old English, the language of Beowulf, was a close cousin of Old German. Middle English, the language of Chaucer, kept some German-like pronunciation. For example, enough ended in that strangled Germanic K. IIRC, the scholarship that determined how Old and Middle English were pronounced, based on things like rhyme schemes, post-dates Ichabod.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Also, there's really no mystery about where they went.
There's a point at which one needs to let an alternate universe be alternate, or you'll strangle it.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
They really don't even bother with the Scully box, do they?

Ha!

The best they can do is attached to her feet. Ouch.

A box to get the shorter character tall enough to be in the same frame with the taller character.
Named after Dana Scully, because Gillian Anderson is like a full foot shorter than David Duchovney.

The last IO9 recap I read said something to the effect of "we're not saying it like it's a bad thing when he shoulders past her, it's just that his shoulders are what go past her head."
Fair.

Ah. Thanks.
