Anachronism

A thing belonging to a period other than that in which it exists (especially something that is conspicuously old-fashioned)

Quite enjoying "Death by Lightning" on Netflix. I suspect that's because I know 2% of F-A about James Garfield, so the inevitable anachronisms and artistic licences go over my head (except for the anachronistic swearing, which wisely follows in Deadwood's footsteps). Also: jeekist, what a cast!

Anachronism is kind of an ingrained facet of most fantasy design which I'm not hugely bothered by but it does irritate me when no thought is put into portraying a specific time in place for the setting. I don't buy the "stagnant age because magic" premise
