Sleepy Hollow got a nice writeup in TV Guide magazine. And Teen Wolf got a whole article!
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.
'The Killer In Me'
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Someone over at Almost Human really misses Breaking Bad, huh?
Heh, yeah the combination of Gareth + Acaveda + BB was pretty awesome.
The show itself is still only okay, but they do seem to have a good handle on which fans they're wooing.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Boy, the Arrow folks are pushing this Barry Allen kid pretty hard, huh? [link] (EW article on the episode tonight, with a clip from the ep embedded)
He's cute. A fetus, but a cute one.

Seriously, what is he, 12? (He also seems more Wally West than Barry Allen to me, but that's pure comics nerdery speaking.)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
HOW DOES THIS SHOW DO EVERYTHING RIGHT?!?!?!!
They do *CASTING* and snark right.
It's just basic facts and logic they get terribly, terribly, laughably wrong.
The birthing scene anachronisms were almost as annoying to me from a historical accuracy perspective as the Middle English idiocy. I wanted to beat them all over the head with a birthing stool.

Because books.
But it's the argument I always give -- most of the audience wouldn't know what a birthing stool is. They expect a woman in labor to be in a bed.
It's lazy shorthand that caters to the least informed, but it's also because the majority of the audience probably doesn't care very much. They're interested in the fact that Ichabod has a kid, not how he was delivered. You know?

Yeah, but if media made efforts at historical accuracy, people WOULD know!

That's true. Except that how historically accurate do you want to be about everything? If they were really that accurate, not many of the people in Crane's time would have all their teeth, and the women would definitely not have such shiny, shiny hair.
I'm just saying, when it comes to storytelling in a limited-time format, like an episode of a TV show, expediency is going to play a role. And I still argue that the fact of the baby trumps how the baby came into the world, especially if it would mean using script time to explain a birthing stool, for instance.

brillig
They spent a lot of time on Jefferson and Sally Hemmings, citing DNA evidence and everything. To informed people, that's old news, but there are a lot of uninformed people who might have been as shocked as Crane. Plus showing the complexity of life during the Revolution. Someone somewhere is wondering "Was it really like that?" and is firing up a search engine--or even looking at a book!
I'll grant them glossing over authentic birth practices.

Arrow: so, is Felicity's dress a Power Girl shout-out? It's making me giggle.
