She'd be Haddie. ;-)

"Basically the whole idea of being a good parent/spouse/sibling/friend/whatever, is that you may not agree with everything your loved one does, but you'll support them in it, and help them out if whatever they've decided makes them happy."

Parenthood observations:
1. Of COURSE Bob Little's campaign van plays "Blurred Lines." He has always been borderline creepy. Katims nails a music choice once again.
2. I love how the "SUPER" on Sarah's door ironically punctuates the tense and less-than-super scenes that take place in her apartment.
3. "Well, then, we're…

TOTALLY like a multi tool.

"I think it's kind of like popcorn. When it stops moving around, it's done."

"he may also be the worst well-known actor I have ever seen who continues to get work"

More Dean Winters, please!

I know, right??? BEN FELDMAN! He's talented AND adorable. C'mon.

My Pennsylvania public school taught it in the 1970s. I even remember reading a biography of Virginia Dare.

Public schools in New England and the MidAtlantic states do big curriculum units on Colonial America. I grew up outside of Philly and currently live five miles from Valley Forge National Park, and I know a ridiculous amount about the Revolution simply through osmosis. ;-)

I don't see Crane as quite the indiscriminate horndog that Franklin was, though. Then again, I don't even see Hugh Hefner as quite the indiscriminate horndog that Franklin was. ;-)

I get more of a Grimm vibe: those screechy violins sliding creepily up the chromatic scale with some heavy bowing as the show goes to commercial break.

Well, it was also shown again in the recaps, so if it was a mistake they didn't fix it.

Yes, I first "knew" him as an actor in a bunch of BBC historical and costume dramas, like The Buccaneers.

And wouldn't the missing child be a case for the state police or even the feds?

Yep, that bugged me, too. The Roanoke settlers surely would have spoken Early Modern English. I think that Middle English died out by 1500.

My first thought was, "I hope he's still going to do Grimm, too."

It bugs me that he opens doors for women but continually sits down in their presence (when they are standing). Selective 18th-century gentlemanly manners. ;-)

Oh, the British royal family is totally steeped in German blood. But from what I remember, the Hessians were mercenaries, soldiers-for-hire. Such men rarely have strong and/or idealistic affiliations to anything besides cash.

Yes, I think that, too.
