I don't believe that Laurel could get that good in such a short amount of time.
Right? I believed in League of Assassins-trained Black Canary, but not Goes To The Gym After Work Black Canary.
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Yes, and I believe in your father is burning your hand so you don't feel pain Thea just fine too.

Thea being that good in such a short time kind of stretches credulity, except for the fact that they were probably training all day, every day. And Laurel hasn't, because of that pesky day job, for one.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
But she has righteous anger...
That's gotta count, right?

Maybe for Carrie, other people still have to learn how to aim.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Abigail Adams would have been in her 30s. However, by 1777, she had had six children, one stillborn, in 10 years. She had run the farm during John's many absences. It seemed through those years that he was only home long enough to get her pregnant again. When money ran short because he was off revolutionizing instead of lawyering, she tracked down clients with unpaid bills and demanded payment. It's much easier to believe in Abigail Adams as supernatural crime fighter than it is to believe in Dawn as Abigail Adams.
Her Dawn-ness was distracting to me as well. Even more alarning, she's TWENTY NINE.
I am very very old. I am Icabod old.

Ann, that's a ferret.
When I was in grad school (okay, this was 30 years ago, so my memory may be wrong), I did a paper on Abigail Adams's correspondence during the Revolutionary War. My memory is, she was very good at running the farm in John's absence. However, she hated doing it. She repeatedly told John that she wanted him home so he could run the farm while she went back to her regular role. Fascinating individual.
I could see her as a reluctant supernatural crime fighter.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I suspect what she really wanted was to get back to having time to read. Her parents didn't believe in education for girls, but she managed to read everything in sight, so that when John met her, he was surprised at her erudition.
(yes, I'm a fan.)

Not a lot there to not be a fan of as far as I've ever heard/read.

Thrive to spite them
I finished The Librarians (in my head I say it the way they do on the show...you can hear the Pooh case when they try to come up with a lame cover story. Even if the characters in the show can't hear the Pooh Case, it's there). I watched it in the order intended rather than broadcast order.
I'm still adjusting to seeing Christian Kane not know how to kick ass competently (which why the last episode was a nice surpise). I like all the characters and even though some of the special effects were really really bad I hope it gets picked up for a second season because it was fun to watch.
