Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

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'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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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)).

"...another exotic gift from The Amazon." Ichabod, ILU

I love that Abbie hasn't bothered to correct his "internet" pronounciation either. He amuses her as much as he would many of us, clearly.

I want one!

I was actually driven to try and draw Mison's dry portrayal. This is my first shot at him, so, you know, be gentle with me--he's got a particular face, never mind his expression.

I can't wait to get to Irving. He's right after Abbie who is also gonna be hard--when she was dressed up at the end for Turkey Day, I could barely recognise her. When she does her hair, it makes all the difference in the world. But I get why she wouldn't, for the job. I didn't for school, when my hair was straightened.

"The Shot Heard 'Round the World" from Schoolhouse Rock Rocks! just came up on my ipod. I was halfway listening to it when it occurred to me how enthralled Ichabod would be if someone played it for him. Almost like listening to a game on the radio or something.

The expression looks just like him, ita.

I loved the look on Abbie's face when Ichabod walked out of the house covered in bloodsap. Sort of "OMG, he's an actual badass."

"I would like to go home now."

Oh, my other thought during the whole birth scene and telling-to-Ichabod was "Well, we know *Katrina* has a son..." IJS, that woman had a lot of secrets.

"...another exotic gift from The Amazon."

KILLED ME DED OMGMISON.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

She may not be a bad guy, but still, I don't trust Katrina!

Yeah, I was thinking "Is that Ichabod's kid?" Too many soap operas.
