retsuko: finn & jake's fist bump of awesome (fist bump!)

Linguistic issues:

"Abbie, what is this Mets game of which you speak?"

It's Katrina's dialogue that seems out of place to me, like the line about evil succeeding when good men do nothing. Isn't she ahead by about 200 years?

Story notes:

* I missed this show so much! :D

* Basket-face= heh heh. Actually, the whole opening bit with the game was well done. Not too sentimental or overly long. Nice one, writers!

* Holy crap, Abbie's in a Victorian ghost story horror movie! I know Katrina can't be choosy about where she shows up, but that was a bit over the top.

* Last time I saw James Frain, he was playing a psycho, and the same thing the time before that. A nickel says he's a psycho again. So... he's not especially psycho yet, BUT...and, yeah, now we've got PsychoFrain. Granted, Psycho-True-Believer Frain, but psycho as expected.

* Huh... Serious Holmes action here. The Masons! History! Awkwardness! Everything in this flashback happened really quickly! One moment, PsychoFrain is badgering Crane, and then bam! Period clothing! Quakers!

* I do not care for Crane as British interrogator, but it did lead to an interesting reveal about his knowledge of the supernatural.

* Katrina talks like... a very modern lady. I'll take this one up to linguistics, above.

* Aw, platonic love. I'm sure that shippers will take Abbie's speech differently, but I heard it as a statement about what our friendships can do for us that family cannot/might not: give us unconditional love and purpose. It's nice to hear that discussed so seriously. :)

* Sin eating: not a good career choice. :( But can he really consume a blood tie? That's some powerful magic.

* OK, writers, we get it: sin and salvation. Your themes, we understand them. Katrina's an angel, yup. SIN SIN SIN SINNY SIN SIN.

* Frikkin' Masons! Ruining everything with their Templar nonsense!

* EEEEEEEEE! Badass Abbie FTW! NO, either/or fallacy! Come on, people! Oh, hey, it's that guy, the deus ex machina guy! Although props for the idea that regret fuels evil, not the simpler fear/anger equation.

I sat there thinking, okay, this group of people are going to read that speech *this* way, and this other group of people are going to read that speech . . . oh dear Lord. I love this show and I suspect all the fan feuds in the world are already going on and that I'm not spending enough time on Tumblr to know about them.
