That accent ...
and that snark delivered, with 18th-century-style flourishes in that accent!
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

When Abby realized he was trolling her by learning how to drive already--I don't want to imagine Jenny's driving lessons that focuses on bootleg turns.

Exactly. Jenny was messin' with Abby on that score.
I have one quibble. I've had to stop and start the episode and have just gotten to the rescue scene.
Okay, so 10 year old girl has been kidnapped and traumatized. Ichabod carries her away and pauses for a long conversation about ethics and artifacts.
At no point does the child utter a peep.
Unless the piper cast a silencing spell...I'm not buying it. A single line from Crane about the need for calm would have fixed it for me.

Whathisname Holly has a McConaughey-like charm. I like him.
Interesting points Henry made in his conversation with Irving at the end of the ep. I don't like that they seem to have tricked him into signing over his soul (if they actually have). Though, to be fair, he didn't take the time to read before signing. Still. That kind of deal seems like it ought to require assent with knowledge, based on my preference and how I think that kind of lore goes.
The Pied Piper was good and creepy -- loved the effects especially in the fight with Ichabod a the end. His noise-cancelling earbud schtick, when he first tried them on, was funny, too.

He signed in blood. I think arguing consent would be like one of those lawsuits that cost more than a favorable ruling would be worth.
Though Henry did seem willing to tear the contract up--with consequences.
My quibble with the rescue was--since when do iPhones come with explosives timers set in? Unless Holly and Crane had time to coordinate bombs.

I thought the iphone bombs came out of the big bag of boomboom. If not, you are totally right. How could that even happen?
I was intrigued by aspects of the Henry/Irving conversation where Henry pointed out how much Irving may have lala'ed past some of the finer details.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I noted from the closed captioning that Holly's name actually seems to be Hawley.
And yeah, still objectionating here to deals signed under false premises. Somebody presents themself to you as a lawyer, you are supposed to be able to implicitly trust their advice.
(I'd love for a Lawful Evil Satan to show up and declare the contract null and void -- just so that he could fuck with Moloch. Especially if he were played by Viggo Mortenson. Ah well.)

That bugs me, too. OTOH, it's not like Evil Incorporated plays by the rules.

I'm slightly disappointed he's not played by Josh Holloway, since the character reminds me so damn much of Sawyer from Lost.

Love it. Party foul on Moloch.
Hawley. Why do I like that better? Weird.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
still say the actor playing Hawley looks and sounds like Gary Busey when he was young.
