How could the Manhattan clan speak modern English when that wasn a language in 10th-century Scotland?
Greg’s answers: I heard that Michael Reaves has a brilliant (because it’s simple) solution for how Goliath, Hudson and the Trio could speak modern English upon waking at the castle. Demona used a spell from the Grimorum on them the night before they woke up. Perfect. They’d never even have to know that there was a change in the language. I love it. (Wish I had thought of it.) [Later, he adds…] If you buy into Michael’s explanation, then yes, I think you have to assume that the tenth century sections were translations for the viewers’ benefit. I haven’t STUDIED Michael’s idea or thought about it’s ramifications. So I’m not saying that the idea is canon (there’s that word again) in my head yet. But I think it has promise. As I’ve mentioned before, originally it was a cheat that we thought we could live with artistically.
