I don't care that the show is insane or that the 'history' is cray-cray. Ichabod and Abbie are adorable.

I LOL'd over a tweet I read last night re: Sleepy Hollow complaining about Abbie not remembering the Roanoke colony becase (as per tweet) "That was the only interesting thing in early American history!" Perhaps an exaggeration, but, yeah, the "lost colony" is one of those things that intrigue kiddies in school.

Speaking of school, I wonder why Oxford is covering for Ichabod. It's not a Connie Willis novel, so I don't think that Oxford has the time travelling history department yet. ;) I amused myself with what was being left out of that call:

Oxford: We have an Ichabod Crane on record in 1769. But he's on leave since 1769, and is in New York since 1769!

(Or therebouts. I figured he needed a few years early in order to meet Jefferson and Adams (Unless he was in France. Can't wait for that whacked 'flashback!'). And I must say, I tend to think Ichabod had it backwards. Easier to believe that it was Adams who liked puns and Jefferson who liked inappropriate limericks. Everyone pretty much agreed that Adams was a tightly wound stick in the mud... The 'history' be cray-cray. Hee!)

I was so annoyed when '1590' (ie. Early Modern England, time of Shakespeare and Marlowe) meant wheee, we're all talking Middle English which is SO out of period....

And then Ichabod and Abbie were so adorable that I just took more Handwavium and enjoyed them.

I found it especially funny since they have Ichabod talking perfectly normal modern day English. Even though I seriously doubt that would be the case. yet they expect us to handwave that, and then they have the kid talk middle English... (wrong period or not)

Lol. I know. I figure someone decided that to write like Shakespeare would be really really hard, go wig subtitles!

Handwavium - Hee!
