I never hear them say "leftenant:" for the Navy, though. Movies with sailing ships, it's always "lieutenant".

The actress is 28; hardly a "girl",  too young to go to Quantico or  be a police lieutenant

Look, I'm willing to throw my faith behind you, but  honestly,, everything is Supernatural with less uncomfortable erotic fan fiction.

If it helps, it's an alternate universe by default, since it seems to be a universe where Washington Irving and none of his works exist.

The one that irritated me the most, and will continue to get a shriek of disbelief out of me no matter how many times I see the episode is "Sam Hain".  Like it's a  dude named Sam, surname Hain.  WHAT.

I dunno, I was getting a super-Brother-Justiny vibe off the apple pie thing.

Eh, I don't think it's indicative of much, other than the writers trying too hard.

I am now suddenly in need of some Ichabod-meets-Steve-Rogers actions so they can be outraged together about "what is this country coming to?" stuff and compare notes on having been asleep for unrealistic periods of time.

Yes, when Abbie started explaining about why Sheriff Clancy Brown was a father-figure, I started counting all the words she used that would make no sense at all to him.

I want someone to carbon-date his clothes so they can all get to wondering where the hell he got 250 year old duds.

Yes, I like his drama-queen proclamations.

He's an academic; they have to explain everything.

That was actually my very first thought before he busted out completely.

Have they not referred to it as the sheriff's department? We have a sheriff; he's an elected official for the county and the head of the police department. And if Irving's a commander, he's still above Abbie but below the sheriff.  At least that's what I understand; I may be wrong.

Am I hearing correctly that he keeps calling her "leftenant "?  Cause that makes me unreasonably happy.

RIGHT? I was all, "What in the FUCK is THAT?"  I was ready for it to be some other creepy headless monster thing.

I didn't see this reply til just now, as you can tell; I probably got an
alert with your name, didn't even read what article it came from, and
assumed it was about Breaking Bad or something!

So…..it's like she's a Black Widow?
