Are they implying that Jay Garrick killed Barry Allen's father?

I was totally wondering that, unless it was supposed to be...whatshisname Thawne. Reverse Flash. (Who was maybe Barry Allen's secret twin, taken away at birth? I'm a little dodgy on his origin story.)

John Barrowman? STILL THE PRETTIEST.

How much do I love them for that scene with the chemicals and the lightning? This much. I swear it's almost exactly the scene I remember from the comic.

YES! I was burbling about that to Tim when he came home (he missed most of it) (and doesn't actually know anything about the Flash other than "runs fast; the animated version is voiced by Lex Luthor").

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.

They could do it like that product placement in Alias! "Quick! Get in the Ford F150on the birthing stool!"

Yes, I was thinking about this STILL in the car on the way home. In my defense, I've had more ridiculously nit-picking and obsessive thoughts.

I'm not sure why I allow myself to wince and twitch.

I mean, I'm watching a show where Katrina's a Quaker Witch who shops at Hot Topic, and Ichabod is a man of elevated station sporting some seriously taboo facial hair. BUT STILL! I WINCE AND TWITCH! Were they not so snarky and fun, it would be the exact sort of thing I couldn't watch for wanting to throw my remote through the screen.

Oh, and the bling her ex gave her? And the one he WANTED to give her? SO TOTALLY NOT IN THE PERIOD STYLE, OMG.

Apparently Plei and I were yelling at the same parts. (Not only was it not period style, but I don't think it was even period possible.)

Ichabod is a man of elevated station sporting some seriously taboo facial hair.

It's not like it wouldn't be easy to get him a straight razor. There really should have been a scene when he asked for hair powder.

I'd think that having a baby is pretty self-evident. It could have been shot in a more period fashion without explaining anything. The key thing was that Katrina had Ichabod's baby.

And neither was exactly Quaker plain dress, either. I'm working on the theory that Moloch is providing Katerina's purgatorial wardrobe. It seems as logical a hand wave as anything.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Oh god, coffee is EVERYWHERE.

Well, she had somebody's baby. Perhaps there will be a DNA paternity test callback.

What? Where am I?

I seem to have fallen into a vortex.

wrong thread...moving on

bonny, I think you wanted to post that in Bitches.

t edit You were too fast for me!

Sleepy Hollow - I've stopped expecting accuracy for, well, just about everything. Katrina's supposed to be a Quaker ... not only is she not using Plainspeech, even with Ichabod, but her clothes (and hair, jewelry (JEWELRY? period or not, I don't think she'd wear any aside from a wedding ring). So when they do go for accuracy, it's a nice surprise.

the women would definitely not have such shiny, shiny hair

You'd be surprised what you can do with bear grease ....
