Yeah, but those were ghosts. They didn't have to drive through I-95 NJ traffic to move up the East Coast.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
That show also renamed the Tappan Zee Bridge, and had the Roanoke colonists speaking "Chaucer's English." I think that expecting any sort of accuracy from them is expecting too much.

I question whether the creators of either show know how far apart Sleepy Hollow and Washington DC are - was it just me, or did Abbie and Ichabod drive down for a single conversation and drive back the same day? All in daylight?
I actually looked it up on Google maps during a commercial break, and Google's most optimistic estimate was 4 hours. So even assuming traffic went perfectly (ahahahaha), that's still an 8-hour round trip. So...handwavium.

I watched both shows despite the fact that I gave up on Bones a couple seasons ago. It wasn't as painful as I expected it to be.

Sleepy Hollow also has people zipping about between the colonies in the Revolutionary era at improbable speeds.

I've driven roughly that trip dozens of times (when I was living in DC, and my parents are maybe half an hour from Sleepy Hollow), and never made it in less than five hours each way, and that was in the middle of the week and managing to avoid all rush hours. Usually, at least six hours each way.

Oh, I assumed Google was being ridonkulously optimistic.

Maybe there's a secret FBI-only superhighway that THEY don't want us to know about.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Also, while it's been years since I watched Bones regularly, I remember it being a science, not magic, kinda show. Inserting Sleepy Hollow, where magic is demonstrably real, into that universe seems like cheating somehow.
Yeah, they didn't mesh very well. It did get me to watch Bones for the first time in 3 years or so, which just confirmed why I stopped watching. Let's hope they don't make a habit of that.

Nope, they used the Nanda Parbat subway system.
