“I heard you were shot five times in the tabloids.” “That’s not true. He didn’t come anywhere near my tabloids.”

I think they had the perfect premise for a multi-season show: each season a new Horseman. S1 = Death = Abraham. S2 = War = Henry. S3 = Famine = ?? (I thought they would go for Irving when he came stumbling out of Purgatory and drank a gallon of milk from a Quickie Mart), and my pet headcanon, S4 = Pestilence = Katrina…

This season is an improvement inasmuch as I’m not hate-watching it anymore, cringing at its obvious Mary Sue-isms and someone in charge clearly working out their mid-life crisis via the small screen, but its really just kind of... boring. Abstracting the story away from the history and geography of Sleepy Hollow,…

The wheels of justice grind a lot more slowly than people realize. It took 7 years for my cousin’s murderer to come to trial.

This is incredible. Between this and the season-appropriate leafy sea-dragons, io9 has kept me playing “pretend” pretty much all day.

These are gorgeous and I want all of them to be my underwater-fairy-friends.

People who don’t even acknowledge it are more conspicuous than people who say weird things. Two of my cousins were murdered ten years ago, I found out at work and promptly lost my shit (as one does) and had to be driven home by a friend of mine. I was out for a week with family stuff, and when I returned it was about…

Which is not the case in this movie, where the princess is being voiced by Pacific Islander.

LOL! I have a wicked crush on him too, and I think he and Beharie are the heirs to Peel & Steed (and Nick & Nora, if they pull the trigger on Ichabbie which I desperately want them to). I totally agree on everything else, and I love that the writers have wrapped the high-school bookworms in their audience in a big…

Oh wow, I have the opposite reaction! I love that the writers have written what are basically literature-nerd in-jokes into their characterization of Crane, it makes him more than just a funny name stolen from a short story that nobody remembers reading in 8th grade, he’s actually *the* Ichabod Crane from the story.…

Its a direct reference to Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”. The physical description of Ichabod Crane refer to his lankiness, his large hands and feet (tee hee!), and makes a note to point out that he gestures a lot with very long fingers.

Really? Wow. I think he looks like a Muppet. Totally harmless, and completely incapable of having anyone take him seriously.

Who is, incidentally, Maya Rudolph’s (from Saturday Night Live) mother.

Mine used to routinely set off metal detectors, and I got a full-on boob-grab at Shannon Airport several years ago as a result (although my friend Tim got some aul’ fella’s hands up in his business for his troubles, though they were fairly amiably chatting about accordions all the while so I guess it didn’t bother him…

I dropped off with Clara, even while Matt Smith was The Doctor (and he was my favorite Doctor, blasphemy I know). I find her desperately boring. I love Peter Capaldi but the Companion really makes it or breaks it.

Jason Momoa shirtless, in clingy “trousers”, and dripping wet is the only thing that will get me to see a Zack Snyder movie in the theater.

Even if they hadn’t (I never took Electronics, myself), the fact that he brought it in specifically to show *another teacher* should have tipped them off that it wasn’t a “bomb” or even a “hoax bomb”.

He brought in a clock he made to show his Science teacher. That’s what kids do. Its pretty much their job to learn, and demonstrate the things they have learned.

If they actually believed it was a bomb, they would have evacuated the school and called the bomb squad. The fact that they did neither of these things is a clear indicator that they KNEW he hadn’t built a “bomb”.
