Where oh where has Transcript Anon gone?

And who are the people who think SH is a flash in the pan? While I enjoy AOS, SH is the far superior show.

RL was eating into their transcripting time if I remember correctly

Another forum I go to, I stopped reading the SH thread, because there was SO MUCH bitching about...well, the most inconsequential things - that the SH in the show is about 10 times the size of the real one, nitpicking on Ichabod's accent, that Ichabod and Abbie both call the Book of Revelation 'Revelations', the fact that we don't (or didn't, as of last week, I still haven't seen the latest one yet) know where Captain Irving's loyalties lie, that they revealed the Horseman's origin in the first episode instead of making it a Deep Mystery to drive the show. (Meanwhile, actual suspension-of-disbelief stuff like the nurse giving Jenny her meds not checking under her tongue (ignorable if she didn't check at all, but once you try to cover that, it becomes more glaring to ignore the most blatantly obvious way to hide the pill), or iffy stuff like making Abaddon (a demonic figure from Revelation) the name of a Romani language, is ignored... ... Also, at least one person implied using Abaddon was a Supernatural rip-off, on that note.)

(Not nearly as much raging there about Agents of SHIELD, though the general consensus is 'meh'. But the only ridiculous complaints are 'not enough superheroes' and 'I can't understand Fitz!')

The internet continues to surprise and amaze me. Who the hell cares is they say 'Revelations' or 'Revelation?' And his accent is part of his appeal. Like, rawr, Baby, you team up with Gen. Washington.

And why don't people like Fitz? He's barely had time onscreen to do anything to tick them off!

And his accent is part of his appeal.

Yeah, I love his accent (and how he pronounces Lieutenant - I'm so happy to hear that pronounced properly!), but someone on the forum decided it was inappropriate to the era (they also apparently missed that Ichabod was English), and complained loudly about it.

As to Fitz...people that I've seen don't like him because they think he's bland (which is a valid complaint, even if I disagree - if only because he hasn't had much front and centre time, as you say)...but when I say they complain about not understanding him, I mean they claim they literally cannot comprehend his accent. Which is weird, because it's not really that thick, and...this is a forum where half of the posters watch Doctor Who regularly, reference Red Dwarf all the time, etc, etc, etc.

These people sound like they have never heard accents before. You should ask them if it hurts to be so ignorant.

I'll give 'em that Fitz is undeveloped, but it's been a measly three episodes.

LOL...I'd get banned for doing that, but that was pretty much my thought, yeah.

I doubt FitzSimmons will end up terribly well developed, unless the series gets renewed and they can get some focus next season, but, honestly, I don't think that's a flaw - I like them, despite that...they're fun even if they're a little flat, and do the job they need to do for the show, which doesn't require them to be particularly well-rounded - Skye and Ward are the obvious leads, May and Coulson the significant support characters, so the four of them need development, but FitzSimmons are the amusing exposition and macguffin dispensers...I'd not be opposed to rounding them out a bit, certainly, but their development is less important than the other four, so can take a back burner to them and the plots.

Totally seconded, I'm also tired of hearing that Coulsen is bland... he's got dry wit but I wouldn't call him bland.

But I do love both shows and if I was going to nitpick anything about their interpretation of Revelations in Sleepy Hollow is that the witnesses can't call down curses on the earth and spit flames out of their mouths to destroy anyone who attacks them.

Gotta save something for the season finale!

That poster wasn't wrong, though. While there were of course regional variations in both countries, in general American English and British English accents at the time of the Revolutionary War were very similar; much more than they are today. Additionally, most 18th century Englishmen's accents were closer to modern American English than to modern British English. So Ichabod's accent on the show is (probably; note the above disclaimer re: regional variations) anachronistic.

(Obviously, if you don't care about the show's anachronisms, that's fine; it's a ridiculous horror/fantasy series, not a documentary. But any viewer who was hoping for a historically accurate backdrop for the horror/fantasy elements does have plenty of cause for complaint.)

Abbie says "Revelation" in later eps (I've been paying attention because that bugged me in the first ep too). That's funny about Abaddon because people were saying the same thing about Moloch (that SH "stole" Moloch from Buffy).
