"Abbie, what is this fixer-upper/spackle/Ren Fair/'tude of which you speak?"
Although to be fair, the writers did wisely lampshade the spackle comment.
Whoa, Middle English?! I hope there is more made of this, although that's a tall order in less than 42 minutes. Oh, hey, there is more! And it is kind of beautiful to hear.
Disorder? I think ailment or illness is far more likely.
Plot issues:
* This is the most well-planned wood I've ever seen! Did Martha Stewart supervise the planting?
* Heh, Crane v. Plastic! And tape!
* Morales the Annoying Ex is annoying so far. What more trouble can he cause? Wait, don't answer that.
* Roanoke?! OF COURSE. I hope that future episodes tackle other famous unsolder American mysteries, like Amelia Earheart's whereabouts, the Lizzie Borden mystery, etc. I'm only being half-sarcastic here.
* "Yours isn't the first generation to invent sarcasm." :D
* What, now Crane's an expert tracker, too? And kind of a anti-classist rabble rouser to boot. Man, he's acting like a grumpy housecat in this episode: "Oh, yeah, I meant to throw that stick in the water. No, this tape doesn't stymie me, not at all."
* This is a good episode for the conflict between heart and brain. I also love how Abbie and Crane keep switching back and forth between these roles.
* Geez, people, making deals with devils never ends well. When will fictional characters learn this?
* As usual, the depiction of religion is an tricky matter. I wonder what religion Abbie has, if any, and if she is religious, what denomination she is. That was also the nicest, most interfaith hospital chapel I've ever seen. Granted, I've only been lucky enough to see two, so my basis for comparison is a bit diminished.
* Pestilence/conquest wears samurai armor. Huh.
* Aw, nice moment at the end there.
* 3 weeks?! NOOOOOOOO!

Date: 2013-10-16 11:13 am (UTC)What I thought was hilarious was how well done the Middle English was vs. how historically suspect it was to use it. Also I guess that's a mystical portal to Roanoke, because geographically? Not so close to Westchester county . . .
The sarcasm line was especially wonderful. My husband does not watch with me, and he is the king of sarcasm, so I happily wait to drop it on him at the perfect moment.
