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

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.

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.

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, 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!

OUaT: I thought Prince Phillip was killed when Emma and Snow went back to the fairytale realm? So how is he alive now? Am I misremembering?

That gave me a startle before I realized what thread I was in and saw the OUaT.
