Ketch has a Mississippi accent???? But he sounds mostly British to me, and David HJ is Canadian, so how could Mississippi slip in there? What does that accent sound like then?

I warn you I am SO bad at recognising accents, though I do know when one of the UK ones sounds wrong (like BMoL Mick's, or Jensen trying Cockney in Dark Angel...LOL)

In the episode where Ketch is questioning the shifter, it takes his form and says something to the effect of "I know everything about you." speaking with a completely different (deep south/Mississippi) accent.

ooooh, I don't remember that at all. Now I need to find it so I can see what this accent sounds like :D

PS - the actor who played Mick was Irish, but was trying to make his accent sound more London-ish, which was why he sounded weird.

Yeah, I know - I'm afraid I told him last year his attempt was (um) less than successful LOL. It's a shame they couldn't have written him as an Irish character instead of a Brit because his natural accent is lovely. But he was right to note that he couldn't legit have been a Southern Irish BMoL, that would never do!

I actually started writing the explanation story that Ketch was really from Mississippi and that the BMoL had taken kids from assorted juvenile justice systems to train as assassins. Mick could just be their Irish experiment kid.

Explaining all these things would take up valuable episode time. That's why the show should just hire some of us to write the companion website to fill in the plotholes and expound on the glossed over backstories.

Ha ha great idea - you should pitch it!
