Okay, that's off my chest, handwaving now.
Angel: Just admit it: you think you're gonna ride in, save the day, and sweep Buffy off her--Spike: Like you're not thinking the same thing. Angel: I'm already seeing somebody. Spike: What, dog girl?

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.

juliana, that was my exact thought upon reading his answers. They all sound like smart funny people, which bodes well for the series.

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.
THANK YOU.
I... I came here just to be reassured that I wasn't the only one who was twitching?
Also, I think I prefer the Supernatural solution. Which, come to think of it, wasn't all that different. But had some great bro mos.

FWIW, I can't think of any other TV show that's used Old English, even if it wasn't period-correct. ::still twitches::

Hubby was enjoying showing off his knowledge of Germanic languages. "Why are they bothering with subtitles? Everybody understands that, right?" "No, sweetheart, they don't." "Well, they should." "Hush and watch already."

I was not expecting Morales to have Oxford confirm they had a professor called Ichabod Crane who was on loan to police. Who was that on the phone! What a lovely twist.
I suspect that the good witches in Sleepy Hollow may have had something to do with that. Like maybe the Captain.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The whole thing is so ridiculous, it's awesome. And when he gets snarky, I couldn't care less how absurd it gets, because he is just that adorable.
Exactly! This show is just... fun!

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm going with Parallel Earth for Sleepy Hollow.
- In Hollowverse, Sleepy Hollow is a city of 144,000. In our universe? 9,800.
- In Hollowverse, Chaucerian English lasted another 150 or more years than in ours, maybe. Or at least more concurrency.
- I'm sure there's more. Maybe that's why his clothes were not taken from him at the mental facility...
Edited 11/5: I was off by 100K!

Beat that, show!
