I hope Henry starts rotating jobs constantly so we can have Dr. War, Professor War, Officer War, and Construction Worker War.

I just want to see John Noble cut loose with his booming Irish voice in court.

I don't have anything to add about the episode (wasn't John Noble great in this one?), but I hope that the thread title changes each week to be a different Revolutionary War monster. May I recommend James Mummy-son or John Dracula Adams?

loving loved this episode, just like them all. It's just so nice to watch a wacky show with actors that you actually care about. The two leads are just so good.

My only issue with episode is that everyone knows the 30 pieces of silver paid to Judas were not Tyrian Shekels but Roman Denarius, and they don't awaken your inner evil but contain within them 30 fallen angels that corrupt, influence and eventually takeover or partner with anyone who touches them. ...drat it I was Crane to face off with Nicodemus Archleone

I spent the entire episode geeking out over the idea of the Denarians on this show. Honestly, those could work in a way. And now I wanna reread their particular books in The Dresden Files.

Another great episode, but I did feel like they did a sudden swerve with the coin and Jenny. Every example we are given of the coin effects has to do with betraying what you love most, not just get mad and pick a target. It would have made far more sense for her to target her sister, who she already has a grudge against anyway. It made me wonder if that was changed partway through the writing, since the betrayal aspect was emphasized so much early on.

It made sense she would target Reyes instead of her sister because the issues they had in season one have at least been fixed up for the most part; in that episode, Jenny was angry at how calmly Abbie was taking the fact that Reyes turned in their mom, but was probably angrier at Reyes in general. Also you know, she also had the gall to arrest her when there's more important stuff like the threat of freaky hell poo poo breaking loose. That might have touched a nerve.

True, but every example seemed to stress the other part as well...the teller loved that bank, Benedict Arnold loved his country, etc. Each one was a personal betrayal, so it just seemed a little off to me.

Lycus posted:That's not what Henry said. He said that it brings out darkness that's already in you. Arnold was already thinking it, already wanted to do it, but something in his mind (loyalty, friendship, duty, whatever) was holding him back. The coin didn't make him do a 180 degree turn and hate what he loved, it just silenced the part of his mind that was keeping him from doing what he truly wanted to do. Ichabod would have latched onto the idea that it makes you turn against that which you love, because that's going to make him feel better about being betrayed. Sort of a hopeful denial. Then when Jenny gets the coin, she doesn't turn on her sister, who she loves. No, she grabs a gun and goes after the Police Chief who she hates. She does what she really wanted to do all along, but there was some part of her that stopped her, which the coin just pushed out of the way. If Ichabod stops to think about why Jenny picked the target she did, and how that applies to Benedict Arnold, he's going to become quite sad.

Robot Hobo posted:Right. I think you could actually read this as Ichabod being in denial about Benedict Arnold turning against Crane and his fellow revolutionaries when he (incorrectly) explained what the coins do to a person. Very good points. It was probably just me reading more into it than was there.

muscles like this? posted:Victor Garber just joined The Flash, which I guess dashes any hope of Daddy Crane returning. Not necessarily. There's plenty of precedent for a regular on one show to guest star on another show. Both Reed Diamond (a regular on "Franklin and Bash") and Amy Acker (a regular on "Person of Interest") have guested on "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."

It skyrocketed in quality in the last 5 or 6 episodes and then stayed that way, once they no longer had to stall in order to keep pace with Winter Soldier.

Doesn't Crane have an identity though? I remember last season that the Chief called Oxford(?) and they said they had a history professor named Ichabod Crane, which seemed important but it didn't come up again. Or maybe I imagined that.

Having one dude ready to answer the phone and go 'Ichabod Crane? Yeah he works here' is a far cry from having actual entries in databases certifying you exist. At least, the way I remember that going down in the first season was basically 'I called over there and they said you were legit' so that's how I figure it.

Ichabod never seemed to question that bit, but he was having a busy day. So someone at Oxford was both willing and prepared to cover for Ichabod in case anyone came calling, and surprisingly quickly after his re-awakening. So that means Team Witness either has allies there that have been waiting for him all this time, or it was some string-pulling on Henry's part. Team Moloch did need Ichabod to involved at least long enough for him to allow the sin-eater to separate him from the Horseman of Death, so that's definitely a possibility.

Yeah, that seemed like a big plot point that was never expanded upon, that someone in the UK saw fit to make sure Ichabod Crane was in the database to legitimize him. That should probably come back up. Ichabod has no social security number (or a British NIN, for that matter.) All he has is a fraudulent UK passport. But is there some conspiratorial Mason connection pulling governmental strings for him?

Well, they are going to London some time this season, so it will probably get some kind of resolution when they do that. The writers are usually good at picking up dangling threads like that one. I've got faith.
