The Cake is a Pie February 5, 2015 Share February 5, 2015 (edited) Someone else already pointed this out earlier in this thread, but I can't find the post to quote it.... How is it we saw Grandma von Tassel and Katrina's mother in the flashback? Did her mother have her out of wedlock? Did her father take the Von Tassel name? Was she an immaculate conception? Because Helena Von Tassel should have been her paternal grandmother for her to have the same last name.

I read a review on the episode where the author said the show had to kill Irving in order to give him something to do. So true. Let me chime in with others who'd watch a House Hunting episode featuring Crane and Abbie. Can you imagine: Crane: "You call this crown molding? I call it a travesty and a mockery of fine craftsmanship. Where is the attention to detail, the selection of quality wood, the passionate artistry, for goodness sake?" Abbie: "It's new construction, Crane. There is no passionate artistry.

Isn't that a benefit of being a witch? (It might not be, I'm just blue-skying it). When she was in Purgatory, she knew Ichabod was awake--that's why she could communicate with him. I want to know what the heck Katrina did, if anything, to Irving in the last episode? Did she know he was undead? Did she pretend to cast a spell to separate his soul from Henry's? Or did she really think she'd done something profound? Henry knew how to communicate with Irving, and vice-versa. So they obviously knew what was up.

jhlipton February 6, 2015 Share February 6, 2015 I think it's time for Abbie to skip town as soon as possible and no, it's not because of Frank. I've never feared more for her life, than when Ichabod gave his "heartfelt" speech about the real reasons they are fighting. Knowing that manipulative hypocrite, what he really meant was: "We fight for something, we fight for my beloved Katrina, my family, the life I want with them. Prepare to die for me, Lieutenant!" It would have been a lot more meaningful if he had been fighting against Katrina even a little bit. Abbie's never doubted his being a Witness, except where it coflicts with his crappy family. I'm upset that what we really cared about - Ichabod redrawing the map and all of his "betrayals" gets barely one episode to fix it - even though the whole map thing was NEVER addressed, yet this show is spending an ENTIRE FRECKING SEASON resolving all of the CFD and Crane marriage and Katrina crap. I think you're going to have to headcanon that the map never happened -- I think that the writers have. It's the only way to move forward. Sucks but it is what it is.

vanarnd1 February 7, 2015 Share February 7, 2015 For considering this was a Katrina heavy episode it was better than I expected but I am not sure how much confidence i have in what was set up for the last few episodes. Are they going to have every villian in this show be a candidate to be reedemed? Between Henry, Irving, and now maybe Katrina how do the Witnesses even go about fighting them? I would like if Katrina becomes evil but if it just becomes CFD part 2 with Icahbod trying to save her there is not much point to it. It is similar to the betrayal conversation Abbie and Ichabod had. They keep dancing around what Ichabod has done in the past and by not really confronting it and only talking in subtext, it leaves the door open for him to choose Katrina and his family in the end which would be awful for the show IMO. I feel like the storylines for Katrina and Henry have to be resolved by the end of the season and I am not sure if 3 episodes is enough to do it at this point. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/21543-s02e15-spellcaster/page/3/#findComment-800174

I think it's just as reasonable she'd recognize him by face as any modern human would recognize a famous figure from the same time period by face. It's more likely that someone living in the modern day would recognize him because we have access to resources that people of his time or slightly after would not. He wasn't famous in the way that his face was literally common currency. How many people of his time and position would have had portraits that were circulated or lasted outside of family? I suppose we could fanwank that she had seen an image of his face in some historic account or book of spells/other witchy publication and that it was sufficiently accurate that she could recognize him, especially given the familial connection. It would have made the most sense if it was clear she had known who he was from her time in purgatory. I think it was just not a well thought out piece of dialogue.

Color me surprised that Kent didn't fall in love with Helena despite the fact that she's married and then develop insta-obsession with Katrina. The writers showed great restraint by not going that route. Again, more glaring inconsistencies with the writers and their inability or desire to actually create a BIBLE for the show, to keep things straight. Remember how Katrina claimed to not know she was knocked up and told Ichabod that...Then we get the date episode and she DID know. A couple of people tweeted two different writers. one producer. Do you know what the response was? "We're looking into it." and "maybe is was something we missed." Dudes...There were only 13 episodes in season one and you can't remember a major detail like that. As for the insta-obsession with all things Katrina/Van Tassel - how do you know that wasn't the case BEFORE the changes. I'd put money on that being the case (and Goffman's own self-insert) before FOX stepped in and said "change it!". *wink* I did think it was weird that she recognized Solomon on sight. Yes, portraits existed, but there was the artist's talent. But not everyone could afford to have a portrait done for them, and if they could, it's not like the portrait was available for everyone to see. That's what bothered me a bit. Solomon didn't actually look too well off, and even Katrina says "times were hard." so where would the money come from to get a portrait made. On top of that, the flashback says that they sent Kent to Purgatory right after. So why would the witches need to know what the dude looked like, and why would they be afraid of him. He was trapped in The Purg for hundreds of years. There was no mention of him being able to flit in and out, so why was he so feared in the real world.... See, that's what I get for trying to introduce some logically analysis into the show....*sigh*. I was so bothered at the age discrepancy of Katrina and he ancestors that I had a hard time with the rest of the episode. I agree with the above poster that Helena should have been Katrina's great-grandmother. That was such easy writing.

Which is yet another missed opportunity for the show. The long-livedness. They never explained why the Four Sisters were around for so long. But why not apply that to Katrina too. Make her long-lived too, something that would be an obstacle in the marriage (Crane would grow old, but she would not). It could have actually been Katrina in Salem, and she could have demonstrated some actual powers *cough, yeah right* or something. Again, great possibilities squandered. Was it just me or did it seem like Tom Mison looked extra hot this episode? No, not just you. He was looking quite fine this episode.

DeLurker February 9, 2015 Share February 9, 2015 HalcyonDays - I know this has been a rough season for SH, but you probably need to step away for a breather...you're looking for logic. You're looking for consistency. You're looking for a four leaf clover. An easy answer (to part of the plotholes) would have been for Kent and Katrina cross paths in Purgatory. He could have told his side of the story to her there. Hell, they both had a couple of hundred years to kill. I think they make the writers wear corsets when writing Katrina scenes and they are cinched up so tight that oxygen is not making the requisite rounds to the brain cells.

I'd put money on that being the case (and Goffman's own self-insert) before FOX stepped in and said "change it!". *wink* I'm totally betting this was what was originally planned. And filmed. And thought to be Emmy worthy. And scrapped by FOX just as you say. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/21543-s02e15-spellcaster/page/3/#findComment-805722

You're looking for consistency. You're looking for a four leaf clover. An easy answer (to part of the plotholes) would have been for Kent and Katrina cross paths in Purgatory. He could have told his side of the story to her there. Hell, they both had a couple of hundred years to kill. I think they make the writers wear corsets when writing Katrina scenes and they are cinched up so tight that oxygen is not making the requisite rounds to the brain cells. This made me laugh, DeLurker!! What the hell was I thinking, looking for logic. Foolish me. I guess it was dumb of me to have writers actually remember some stuff and link certain aspects of the show. Duh. I agree about the corset + lack of oxygen. It's the only explanation. I'll just focus on the Ichabbie and the pretty British man. Truth in Posting: The map leads to Purgatory. And Katrina. And we all know how that turned out..... 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/21543-s02e15-spellcaster/page/3/#findComment-805965
