'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
Timothy Busfield as Franklin is some brilliant casting. I do hope we see more of him.
Be careful what you wish for, given his first appearance. I do wish they'd had him speak with a British accent though - wouldn't all the Founding Fathers have sounded vaguely English?
In 1780, a British accent sounded more American than it does now. Ichabod's accent is the really fake one.
She was not bound to the chair. She just had her arms pulled back behind the chair. ANYONE could escape that. Simply Stand Up.
Oh god, so true.
Question, because I watched Doctor Who last night instead of rewatching Sleepy Hollow...did they air both parts of the premiere together, or just the first hour? I don't want to be spoilery.
Just one hour.
I want to see more of Franklin and Ichabod being pissy at each other. And Abby going "Dude, don't diss the founding father."
Just one hour.
Thanks. I should probably keep my mouth shut until next week then!
While I enjoyed Ben-and-Ichabod show, my history brain kicked in again. Washington was appointed general of the continental forces in July 1775. Franklin left for France in December 1776 and stayed there until after the war. Franklin was in Philadelphia; the fighting during those years was in Massachusetts and New York.
Also, Franklin published an account of the key experiment, which may or may not have really happened, in 1752.
The one thing I suspect is accurate is that that Franklin could be insufferable.

That was your first mistake.
I know. I keep telling myself that this is an alternate universe, but it doesn't always work.
During the last Who, I kept telling myself this was taking place in a universe where people actually think that it's OK for the safest bank in the universe to have air ducts large enough for people all over the place.
