I just hope they don't Xena-fy the Founding Fathers too much. As long as Crane is just around in the vicinity for their big achievements without being an unrecorded contributor, I can overlook the trope. I don't want him ghost-writing Patrick Henry's "Give me liberty or give me death!" speech the night before.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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.

Sue, considering that many Americans only seem to have a vague sense of the same, you're probably ahead, since you assume you don't have much.
I'm still chuckling over Sleepy Hollow ranches. And Spanish moss on the trees....

Also, if your blood is involved in any way, "accidental" or otherwise, take a pass.

And are currently in custody due to murders committed by the demon that possessed your daughter!

"Damn, that was my writing finger! Please get the nurse for a bandage before I sign that!"
However, I don't think it was the signature that JeremyWhatshisname was after, because it showed him taking a spiky thing out of the pen, so maybe it was "just" a blood sample.

No, they focused on the spot of blood on the paper that blended with the ink as he signed.

That's a logical sticking point for me, since under most legal/lawful senses, a contract made under false pretences will not stand. Especially if someone presents himself as your lawyer, whom you have an implicit assumption that he is taking care of reading the fine print and letting you know all the important aspects of what you're signing.
Yeah, yeah, good luck suing Moloch for legal malpractice. (Where's Daniel Webster when we really need him?) Still, it sticks in my craw.

We may yet get an episode of demonic law debate.
