Oh, and I would assume everyone at the time (1700s) would have spoken English (not the Americanized), or had Dutch or some other accent when speaking said English, not speak like a modern Philadelphian (which I'll explain presently.)
Yeah, getting picky here.
I tell myself it is not meant to be historical, but hysterical, although the characters seem to be taking it all very seriously.
It's not only basic necrowhatever. *rolls eyes*
I mean, they’ve not only got the Horseman himself to deal with, but this demon named Moloch, the Horsemen of the Apocalypse (which is what has been set in motion...yep, another apocalypse), resurrections, spells, witchcraft/covens, a golem, zombies, grimoires, judas coins (30 pcs. silver), and now (and here it comes) Benjamin Franklin, yes, THAT Benjamin Franklin, has experimented in creating life Dr. Frankenstein-esquely. Yep. I thought, ‘oh wow, he’s going to imbue life with a kite, key and lightning. Nope. Apparently he only sewed together the best and strongest body parts of fallen colonial soldiers, but never reanimated it...but they do, Crane and Abbie, with a spell. Of course.
I think the kite/key/lightning thing would have been far more amusing.
Either use the keys instead of bolts in the neck, or placed key in one of the patch-work cadaver’s orifices. Far more amusing in my opinion, no matter how they went about that type of reanimation.
Yeah, I will continue to watch it, if simply to groan at whatever else they decide to bring into it.
I don’t think they’ve done the aliens thing.....yet.....*sigh*
What concerns me, is some people may really believe the implicated 'history' is true.
Here is the scene of the Franklinstein monster fighting the Headless Horseman AND the armored Horseman of War!
And, if you are interested, here is the actual story as told by Diedrich Knickerbocker, aka Washington Irving -
