I've found the hardest part is just getting people past the trailers. I mean heck didn't most of us have the same opinion of it looking really, really terrible? I don't know of really anyone who just saw the trailer and was like SOLD, I think best case I was cautiously optimistic. Although after the pilot I started pushing hard for it on Facebook and in my circle of friends, I think I've managed to get half a dozen or so actually watching it. Once they do though, they've all been hooked. Now if only I could get more people to watch Hannibal.

One nice touch was when Abby tried to give Crane the "I'm sure they have witches in every corner drugstore in Carteret posted:Some shots from Episode 5 filming today. Not really any spoilers, but just in case: Thanks for these, btw. It's really neat seeing how they do some of the set dressing and behind the scenes stuff, like throwing dirt on sections of roads to make the dirt roads of the time. I also thought at first those guys were in-show re-enactors that Crane was going to run into, and I still hope this is something that actually happens. Personally, I like that they are only a few episodes out. It allows them to do course corrections if certain elements aren't working with the audience. Though in this case they are firing on all cylinders and don't need to change a thing as far as I'm concerned.

"Hey Pat, have you watched Sleepy Hollow at all?" "Nope it looks dumb but I love sleepy hollow/headless horseman" "I checked out the first episode, it was loving awesome the headless guy has a shotgun and an AR" "Lol wut, I'll take your word for it anyway" **45 minutes into it** "man that black chick is hot" I can't tell if I need new friends

The official Twitter account has an "Ask the Producers" thing going. I asked if they had a long term plan for the show, the response was, "We have a long term plan. We didn't say seven years of tribulation for nothing"

And you do have to differentiate because Ghost Witch Wife is also hot. Really, unsurprisingly, pretty much everyone on the show is pretty attractive. Except the Horseman and Focus Impaired Demon, of course.

I can't wait to check this show out. I was super hyped for it just because I love time travel shenanigans, urban fantasy and police procedural and this seemed to be literally all three rolled into one. Seeing a hugely positive reaction from this thread makes me very happy and even more optimistic than I was, especially compared to the lukewarm response Agents of SHIELD got.

This has already kind of been mentioned, but is the headless horsemen supposed to be Death? Because they specifically quoted "Held a bow" and cut to the branding of the bow on his hand. This would make him Conquest. Katrina names Conquest as the first horseman as well. I don't really care if the horseman come out of order, but I'm very confused about which horseman they are saying is currently headless... edit: went back and watched the scene in the pilot again, and yeah, George Washington had a very special bible, where the first horseman was Death yet was carrying Conquest's poo poo and riding on his horse... Ichabod: "The book of revelations, And there before me stood a white horse, and it's rider held a bow, and his name was death, and then a voice like thunder said: come and see" King James Bible: "And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer." "And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him." edit: \/ which is fine, but the bow is very confusing. Why would they they gently caress up one of the most quoted passages in the Book of Revelation? Snak fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Sep 28, 2013 |

I think pre-zombie Cho referred to him as being Death itself when he was telling Abbie the horseman couldn't be stopped.

spookygonk posted:When Cho was resurrected in the morgue, still with his head flipped, anyone know if that was practical sfx (eg, Cho wearing a prosthetic mask) or cgi? Either ways it was good work, especially with the stretched skin, post flip. Looked like a combination to me: dummy head for one shot, composite for another, cgi neck (at least where it joins the actor's real neck) throughout. With the flickering lights during that scene there were a couple frames of lighting fuckups on the neck that spoiled it a bit.

I've yet to have a friend start watching it and give up. Most of them would youtube the trailer and look at me like I'm trying to force them to eat their own cat but would ultimately give it a try and end up liking it. Hopefully this will be one of those shows that picks up by word of mouth and gets more and more viewers.

There's also quite a few real life strange editions of the Bible. One example is the Jefferson Bible. This is the Bible carefully edited by Thomas Jefferson (AKA 3rd President, DoI writer, etc.) to remove all references to mystical and supernatural events.

To be fair, he only edited the New Testament, and not all of that either. It's technically not a full bible but "The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth". Think of it as a sort of Mega Gospel with all the ghosty bits cut out. Cut out and put into Washington's Bible, obviously.

Ben Franklin was a smart man. He'd realize quite quickly that lightning powers could be used to both impress French Women and to make beer.

If this show lasts seven years, at some point they're gonna have to go get some new aerial footage, the bridge you keep seeing, the Tappan Zee, is currently in the process of being replaced with another bridge. I'm also patiently awaiting the episode where they get on Metro North (the railway they keep showing in night aerial shots) and hit the Big Apple, you know it has to happen. 'This town hath changed greatly, leftenant!' Lastly, Sleepy Hollow / Tarrytown looks nothing like what they keep showing, I visit relatives and friends in Tarrytown, the town just south, and while there might be pockets of Olde New Englande here and there it's pretty much urbanized. And there's not a single Starbucks in Sleepy Hollow, the closest is up in Ossining or across the bridge in Nyack!

As someone who's never been to Sleepy Hollow nor does she expect to: don't spoil my dream (of Starbucks every city block and gunpowder under the streets). Please. Is 'lieutenant' as 'leftenant" a Ye Olde British/American Pronunciation, or what? I'm trying to twist the word around to get the way Mison pronounces it from the way it's written (and the way I first heard in Master and Commander...), and fail utterly. How is the word pronounced today in the UK/US?

But there's a mediaeval spelling of the word that is pronounced "leuf", and as Britain has been around a long time we ended up taking both of them. Americans only took the modern variant.

English is not my first language, but I usually do good on the pronunciation. But in this case, the underlying French simply didn't make sense however I took it. Knowing that it was originally also 'leuf' explains... well, everything.
