A++ Would totally watch an entire series about the time-traveling ghost of H.G. Wells.

[@josephine8406]

And his ghost partner

[@scottsmartky]

Me immediately, "Bleak House hasn't been written yet." Immediately, Annabelle mentions that. Shipwrecked is always top notch. So many great bits in a 10 minute video. Thank you all for this wonderful Christmas present.

[@Jane155-x6d]

When he said he had milk and cookies in his vault I said out loud ''You're not pulling a Cask of Amontillado on freaking Santa, are you?!'' He did... And I laughted my ass off.

[@polyphonicgherkins]

The music in this video is fabulous.

[@Izzy-Maurer]

Oh, 'Days since last nemesis walled into wine cellar' made me laugh a A LOT. It's those tiny details which are sometimes the funniest. And every single line Lenore has continues to be utter gold.

[@jaynaneeya]

SEAN'S. FACES. ARE. SO. PERFECT.

I love the narrator aspect of this sm

[@louloureads3953]

"Days since last nemesis walled into wine cellar" was my favourite moment, but I loved ALL of it. And Emily through the window!

[@sylviepotje6121]

Oh my god, I didn’t realize it the first time I watched this but THE BLACK CAT REFERENCE AT 6:24 he didn’t get the raven but instead got that black cat which he killed very gruesomely and multiple times

[@marigold3801]

when that strange gremlin appeared outside the window I burst into tears omg I loved this

[@nmhg]

Omg, this is great, exactly what I needed! I missed them all! And the references! Dickens' writings, Poe's poems, Lenore's usage of millennial lingo, and even Santa saying "thank u, next"... and Poe's pettiness, Lenore's board of "days since Edgar walled someone in the cellar" and her "I'm drinking and it's a holiday" so that makes it a holiday drink, HG accidentally over shooting and meeting Lenore before time... but being so happy he gets to meet her again later for the first time... Lenore being like "ok, somehow I am drunk although I'm dead"... Just utter perfection man! Also, Yasss, more Wellenore and AnnaPoe

[@erinmckenna605]

[@626maggie]

How did you guys know that all I wanted for Christmas is time traveling HG????? 😭❤️

[@ElleGur]

I am new to this series an I was so confused… I'm just going to start from the beginning… if I can find it.

[@MyChemicallyImbalancedRomance0]

Santa: You can’t domesticate a Raven! How about a nice kitten instead? Me who read the black cat: I’m not so sure about that Santa!

[@jaynaneeya]

The beginning was great, the middle was even better, and the end was SO FREAKING WONDERFUL I'M DYING!!!

[@sharonstreight6846]

Hilarious and heartwarming! I think Edgar Allan Poe would be honored by Sean Persaud's sympathetic portrayal. He makes me love Poe more than ever! It's magical!

[@Screen14Pictures]

He's really quite good. So endearing and winning. You just can't help but champion Poe's designs. We love him!

[@emmaraewilliams]

"Also, Bleak House hasn't been written yet." Great.

[@hazeleyedcapricorn]

IT IS PERFECT!!! Lenore's slate of days since last walling in the cellar, Poe's expressions, JACK HOWARD WHASSUP, Emily in the window, UMMM??? H. G. Wells???, Annabel..... you guys!!! This was so good 💕💕💕

[@Screen14Pictures]

Loved every minute and gonna need time to unpack it all. 10/10 LOVED IT

[@jaceyking5015]

Official headcannon is that either HG time travels and saves everybody before they are murdered or invents a way to bring every body back to life so that way they can all get married and have babies because gosh dang it.

[@bookworm1412]

My heart! Seeing HG again. All I want for Christmas is for HG and Lenore to be together again!

[@sar.the.star08]

At 3:53 Poe looks like The Grinch. That is definitely a Grinchy smirk.

I was about to be very mad but then H.G. came back and now I'm crying. You all have just given so much joy this holiday season!!

[@laurenredding1419]

Lenore erasing the seven on the board that says "days since walling someone into the cellar" was the joke of the century

[@SingingSealRiana]

Buthow big is his cellar, how often can he do this before there is just no room left?

[@philyra2]

I love this so much! Sean's characterization of Poe is so wonderfully human and funny. I'm a devoted Poe fan and this just makes me appreciate him all the more. What a lovely Christmas present from Shipwrecked! I adore you guys! Merry Christmas!

[@janillehartung2330]

I wrote a note with my fave moments while I watched and it got... lengthy lmfao “A.) No you haven’t.” “Oh it’s actually a funny story.” “B.) Do not care. C.) You are rhyming again.” “Look, rhyming is hard and I’m not the best at it. If you’ve got something better, by all means, let’s have it.” “Also, Bleak House hasn’t been written yet.” “I took the one and only candelabra that I seemed to own...” “Can you not smoke down here? I have... debilitating asthma.” “BUT THE MILK! AND COOKIES!” SEAN’S CRAZY EYES WOWWWWWW “That’s a weak one, isn’t it? That’s a weak rhyme.” “I made holiday-themed drinks!” “There appears to be no holiday theme to that drink at all.” “It’s a holiday, and I’m drinking. BIG Yuletide mood.” “*singing* Edgar got run over by a reindeer...” DAYS SINCE LAST NEMESIS WALLED INTO WINE CELLAR: 0 EMILY DICKINSON SLAYS ONCE MORE 😂😂😂 THAT END SCENE OMFG ❤️

[@Screen14Pictures]

We LOVE your list, especially Sean's crazy eyes! Oooohh also, "you can't domesticate a raven" and "two filmy orbs distilled with the intoxication of lactose." We word nerds up in here! lol And if that ending even means what we think it means...
