Sparks will fly!
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sleepy Hollow: Spanish Moss in Westchester? Really?
so ... you were expecting accuracy? of any sort? (except in occasional bits to confuse us)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sleepy Hollow: Spanish Moss in Westchester? Really?
Yeah, really, that was the bit of wildly ridiculous inaccuracy that threw me. There is no alternative universe where Spanish Moss grows Up North.
But they're filming in North Carolina, I think. They couldn't go ripping all the moss out of the trees.
It's almost as bad as mountains in Florida.

I wanted to know what kind of staunch abolitionist was drinking rum in the 1700s. Was cruelty-free rum the conflict-free diamond of the 18th century?

I'm not aware that any abolitionists were refusing to drink rum, but I may just not have seen any references to it.
re: Crane's son--perhaps the Oxford professor on loan to a New York university is actually Ichabod Crane the Sixth, or whatever, researching his ancestor who died during the Revolution.

Rum was just such a key part of the slave trade, it surprised me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was thinking that Crane Jr was adopted into the rich-assed family, and therefore was an ancestor of the woman there. She kinda looked like Katrina, in TV-relative ways (I find myself staring at Tomorrow People and going "Yeah, you can't really cast for that, can you? But some shows do good jobs considering--SPN is good at everything other than Sam. Poor Sam. Sam needs a hug..." (many of my thoughts devolve similarly, no surprise)).
