The photoshop on that poster is out-of-control. Why did they make their legs so tiny?

If I recall, they used "ridere" (pronounced "rreederuh"), which is the Middle English equivalent of "(horse) rider". A better word would have been "hors-man", but it's clear that they purposely went for the more difficult to understand words.

Yup! "Eye" was pronounced "eeyah".

Plus, from the way that Paul and Yoko tell it, it sounds like John wasn't too far away from asking his old friend Paulie to write some songs with him. Sigh.

Yeah, it's a bit of a rookie mistake.

If we are counting analog tape loops as a foregrounding of electronic music, then he's been messing with this stuff since he did the tape loops for "Tomorrow Never Knows".

I always felt that way about "Within You Without You". Ugh.

I think that him having fewer crap records has less to do with his talent and more to do with him dying. Like Citric said: the 80s, man..

I agree. I always get a little uncomfortable when people hold John up as a model human being. I mean, his music was great, but he threw his first wife down a flight of stairs.

I hope that Ichabod says yes.

Hey! They are just sensitive lads.

I'm sure that I am the only one who noticed the his/her thing. LOL

You would have thought that the Medievalist that they used for the translations would have said, "Um, you know that this whole exercise is goofy and makes no sense, right?"

The guy who did the translations purposefully picked out more Germanic words. By Chaucer's time, our language was very much already influenced by French (England was conquered by the French in 1066). If they were being more realistic (and not going for 'what sounds more foreign'), then it would not have sounded that…

I get your point, but that kid wouldn't be speaking poetically. He would be easier to understand than Chaucer.

The number comes from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik….

His hair looks weird, but his face in that picture looks like it suffers more from a bad photoshop job than anything else. (They didn't smooth out his face the same way on both sides.)

Yeah, I think that is has a lot to do with one being dead and the other being alive. We didn't see John get old or sick. We didn't see him get tempered with age.

The "Middle English" of this episode got to me more than I usually let inaccuracies get to me. If you are going to be inaccurate, be inaccurate in fun Renaissance Faire ways. Don't present your goofy crap in the voice of an "educated" Oxford scholar.

I didn't watch Fringe, but if you liked X-Files, you will probably find a lot to like in Supernatural. I find that there's a similar vibe to both Supernatural and those excellently quirky X-Files one-offs (think "Bad Blood"). The more serious X-Files mythology episodes… eh, not so much.
