I saw that, too! (I use cc because we live on a noisy street, and there are few TV-watching experiences as irritating as having a major plot point drowned out by a fire truck. Three times in one evening.)

I want to meet Wendy now. On screen with Ichabod, ideally.

Was Ichabod wearing a yellow plastic hair-clippy thingie? Was I hallucinating or did anyone else spot this?

When this aired in the UK, I saw an interview with Whishaw in which he said that, while preparing, he was watching the lead-up to the downfall of Qadaffi in Libya, and he tried to use some of that desperate arrogance.  Plus Michael Jackson.  If you know that, you can see them both, but the actor is SO good that he…

Whishaw did get a BAFTA for this role - for good reason, obviously.

I had the greatest time watching this - having been forewarned by a friend about the silliness.  It's just too absurd and too much fun and I don't even care what happens later in the season (which I will watch), I giggled delightedly through the whole thing.  The leads are both great, which helps.

Lighthearted fun to watch at home alone in the dark … I did that the first time I watched an episode of The X-Files, which was "Squeeze."  Big mistake.  Big mistake.  Huge.

Holy heck.

Very cool.  Although the main result is that I've now listened to the White Stripes doing this song in Blackpool - twice, with more replays likely.

Somewhere on the Internet (where am I?) someone posted that the clip-on tie belonged to an early Doctor - maybe the Second Doctor?  Which makes it less uncool.

According to the Guardian, it's a hotel bar (specifically, the Sky Bar): http://www.grangehotels.com…

"Run You Clever Boy AND REMEMBER"

I'm sticking with he's alive either way.  Damn it.  A Season 3 without Ben Whishaw would absolutely not work.  (He's on record as saying he wants a third season, which gives me hope for poor Freddie.)

One thing that interested me, when I tracked down the non-quote by Lincoln (okay, when I looked at Snopes), was how much Lincoln DID have to say about the importance of workers.  Even though it's as authentic as those ridiculous "Shakespeare" quotes people put up on Facebook and Pinterest.

It did appear - attributed to Lincoln - in history books in the 1950s.  So not quite Freddie's mistake, even.

Extra liked for the M quote!!
