So now we have a name for the demon, Mol-something.

Wasn't that the name of the ex-villain from Watchmen?

Yes, Moloch the mystic.

However both he and our horned demon are named after something else.

They had to store it away in a warehouse, as they did with the ark of the covenant and all other things pursued by occult Germans.

Thats why when you tell someone to "Drop it" you have to specify where to drop said object, or it gets tossed into the hellmouth and destroyed.

Uh, excuse me Ichabod, that's William Blake's The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed in Sun, not Moloch. Although it is a beast of Revelation.

quote:

And behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth.

Ooh, so Jenny joins the fun party. Ichanny or Jennabod coming at ya.(Sorry)

Really good episode. Loved the physical chemistry in the first half and the whole PapaIchabod to Abbie and Jenny was great. Plus the whole totally not Hannibal guy was great. Good to know we've got some great human monsters too.

Also, first time I've seen Ichabod so surprised. He was pretty much :stare: throughout the whole episode.

I guess it would make sense for Ichabod not to recognize the painting though, since it was after his time.

God wasn't very fond of this Moloch guy...

Leviticus 20:2–5 posted:

Again, you shall say to the Sons of Israel: Whoever he be of the Sons of Israel or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that gives any of his seed l'Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones. And I will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people; because he has given of his seed l'Molech, to defile my sanctuary, and to profane my holy name. And if the people of the land do at all hide their eyes from that man, when he gives of his seed l'Molech, and do not kill him, then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, whoring l'Molech from among the people.

Giving of his seed literally meant sacrificing your children (though historians aren't clear on how often this actually happened or if Moloch was even a specific deity).

I believe it was the great American painter Bob Ross who said, "The key to a swollen vagina is... courage."
I had to pause the TV during the opening because I was laughing so hard I couldn't see straight. This might be my favorite so far.

Man, you can get a lot done in 12 hours. These guys make fighting off Hessians and preventing the summoning of 72 demons look like a breeze! :haw:

Best episode since the premiere, although I was totally expecting to see the Headless Horseman this week and was disappointed in that regard.

But the evil Germans and the church scene almost made up for that.

Do we know how far into the season John Noble's episode(s) are? I'm patiently waiting for my favorite acid dropping wizard to show up in Sleepy Hollow.

Fairly soon, I would imagine. FOX traded a "back 9" pick up for an instant second season renewal, so we're on episode 4 of 13. Hopefully having a short season means they can keep up this level of quality too. That OnStar gag was the Best Thing Ever :allears:.

They really shouldn't have used the Red Dragon painting when Blake had already done a pretty kickass Moloch one. I think they should've used this one too as it fit the bodies in the fire at the altar.

The finale should be the trio hanging out at an amusement park or trick or treating while the demons bitch about having their yearly plan ruined.
