I still think "your son's doll blamed for murder" is my favorite. Especially now that I know it ties back to the world's ugliest doll. Too funny!<br /><br />Re: this episode --- the MOTW plot didn't do much for me, but agreed on the casting of young Mr. Corbin, the spider in the mouth, and on the delightful opening with Abbie and Ichabod doing yoga. I particularly like how it started out funny and then settled into a very genuine moment of support and friendship. Abbie encouraging Ichabod to express how he felt about the latest turns in the Katrina situation was lovely.<br /><br />I really loved the "variety of rodent hats" line. The way she delivered it was just hilarious.Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-61145202721579982282014-11-05T06:41:00.760-05:002014-11-05T06:41:00.760-05:00TV Guide, in its November 10 issue, did a short bl...<i>TV Guide</i>, in its November 10 issue, did a short blurb about how many shows have used a Wendigo. Starting with shows that have used it in the past (<i>The X-Files</i>, <i>Charmed</i>, <i>Supernatural</i>, and <i>Grimm</i>), it points out that four shows (<i>Teen Wolf</i>, <i>The Blacklist</i>, <i>Sleepy Hollow</i>, and <i>Hannibal</i>) have used it recently.<br /><br />From the article:<br />Bryan Fuller, <i>Hannibal's</i> executive producer, thinks the creature's current popularity probably comes from its roots in (Native) America. "There's a home-turf appeal," he says, "as opposed to, say, Dracula or the Mummy, which are more international."ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-62757510355216551762014-11-01T05:30:31.595-04:002014-11-01T05:30:31.595-04:00That list is hilarious!

I need to watch it again and jot down the potential law suits, because what I saw made me laugh.<br /><br />Completely agree about the episode. Wasn't much into the MotW. And, we've gotten two episodes in a row where the MotW was someone from either Ichabod's or Abbie's pasts. <br /><br />Frankly, if they want to dredge up the past, I'd be more interested in finding out what happened to Abbie's mother as opposed to some random guy who happens to be Corbin's son. I really don't care about the antagonism he had toward Abbie, because I don't know him.<br /><br />But, Ichabod "beating" the breathalyzer, doing yoga, having loose flowing hair, getting fragged on an online game? More of that, please!<br /><br />(And more hilarious ads like this!)<br /><br />Kat Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00609424771874961444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-57307576935780398272014-10-28T21:15:28.592-04:002014-10-28T21:15:28.592-04:00Agree that while the MotW was a bit off, Crane doi...Agree that while the MotW was a bit off, Crane doing yoga and playing online was worth the price of admission.<br /><br />Loved that ad.
