This is the best episode so far. I mean, there's just so much.

Hell, that shootout Irving was in could've been a closer if they found a way to stick Ichabod and Abbie in there.

Next week looks interesting because we'll see more zombies and it also looks like we'll see some historical zombies too.

I'm telling you, it's true. People grow from spores.
Abby and Crane looking for the secret manuscript -
A: Good news and bad news. What do you want first?
I: Is this a riddle?
A: Never mind. [...manuscript is in London]
I: London, that's a three month voyage by sea...
A: [...] they've uploaded the manuscript online.
I: That is excellent news!
A: You have no idea what I am talking about, do you?
I: No I do not.
(off they go)
Then, Ichabod fiddling with laptop, doing something "catastrophic," and etc, etc.

Those have to be my favorite parts.. but agreed, probably best episode yet, pilot aside.

I think he had the most "oh no, technology/present day stuff, wtf?" moments this episode compared to previous ones. Still without going overboard.

I love this show, seriously. I really want some sort of compilation after this season of Ichabod vs. technology/todays stuff (like paying for water, and baked good levies), and Ichabod trying to understand Abby's present day speak. Someone's gotta do it, if not a DVD/Bluray extra.

I am impressed that he loaded up what he was looking for (presumably from that CD that was in the drive? Auto-play maybe?) and managed to print something at all.

This has been bugging me since the first episode: Why can't they just describe the horseman as a murderer dressed in a freaky costume? This is not a novel idea. The horseman is easily tall enough that it could be a costume with a regular sized man inside. I mean, even if he had a head he'd still be a weirdo in a redcoat uniform/costume, right? It would also explain how he disappears so quickly, since a guy in a costume could just take off the red jacket/prosthetic and look like a normal guy. They'd still have to keep the whole Apocalypse theory under wraps, but there is no reason they couldn't tell the authorities about a psycho with a costume fetish.

I saw a guy with no head = crazy.
I saw a guy who looked like he had no head, it must have been some kind of costume = plausible.

Where does the wind come from that blows upon your face, that fans the pages of your book?

How did he print stuff off? Lots and loooots of hand-holding by Abby, no doubt. This is the woman who labeled his entire hotel room with instructive sticky-notes, after all.

Holy CRAP a lot happened this episode. But let's ignore how a headless guy sees the glint of silver in his skull.

Hey, I figured that a guy would know what was going on in his own head, you know? I didn't have a problem with it.

Jesus gently caress I love this show. This is my favorite episode. The Mason-O-Lanters creeped me out. It took me a second to figure out what I was looking at when I first saw them.

I loved how they did the Sally Hemming conversation, split between three locations to show how long the argument went on before they had to really break it all down for Ichabod. Loved the scene in the museum. Man, I wouldn't what would happen if you gave Ichabod an American History textbook.

I also really loved the bit when he kept sucking on his straw and she started laughing. It was such an honest exchanged it almost seemed like it was an outtake they decided to leave in.

Gyges posted:

I love that Crane signs his voice mails.

Loved this too. And he didn't just sign it, he dictated a whole letter. He started the voicemail with, "To my dearest Abby" or something along the lines.

Waffleman_ posted:

He's still on the water, Jesus.

I can kinda get it. The idea of paying for something that freely falls from the sky or is right there in the lake would be absolutely absurd to someone from him time. Especially when he now knows water can be gotten from a tap in your own house.


Can someone get a .gif or a picture of the look on Ichabod's face when they are in the cabin and he first asks her if she paid for the water? I loved the look on his face.

The best part of the whole Thomas Jefferson/Sally Hemmings bit was at the very end when Abby shows Crane that Jefferson stole his one-liner and attributed it to himself. The look on Crane's face is just priceless. "Well, we never really know people..."

Definitely the best episode so far, especially with the humor intertwined. I'm so glad that this show is doing as well as it has been so far. I usually don't follow ratings and instead just taper off something as I lose interest. Season 2 here we come!

I thought it was the worst episode :(

I'm starting to get worried that the show is relying way too much on telling instead of showing us. Every episode so far has had at least one instance of him just telling us the whole motivation of whatever it is that episode, most episodes he does it multiple times even.

At first I didn't even care because it's wacky zany fun, but we're 7 episodes in now and they're still doing it and the 'no this is the way it really was' joke is starting to get thin too. It's made worse by it being only 10 episodes a season, which is something I thought I'd like but it doesn't feel like it's really growing at a pace of a short season.

I'm nowhere near not liking it anymore territory or anything, just was hoping they would have built more onto it by now, but hopefully since the instant renewal and popularity season 2 will be different (a lot like Buffy's was).

Abby is a little nuts about tap water. Besides, cheap bottled water probably comes from a municipal source anyway, she's probably drinking tap water anyways, possibly from some county with worse water quality than whatever county Sleepy Hollow is located, shipped across the country with diesel-fueled trucks.
Yeah, the lengths humans go to defile the Earth, to paraphrase Ichabod.

That episode way too much fun. All the crazy little touches helped make it like Ichabod signing his voice mail and the horseman's axe decapitating the stuffed bird when it missed Irving. Also, I thought I was going to be really annoyed at the use of Paul Revere in the episode and then Ichabod goes to town on the museum guide about the inaccuracies (only to get it back when he's told about what a dick Jefferson was).

I'm surprised the silver teeth weren't damaged when Abby tried to Heisenberg the skull...

I bet he knows the existence of planes by this point but it's not something that he's really wrapped his head around yet. It's one thing to know that flying machines exist, it's another to understand that it means that he can get back to London in a matter of hours.

I believe it was the great American painter Bob Ross who said, "The key to a swollen vagina is... courage."
I have a friend that lives in... hell I forget where. Somewhere in The Netherlands. He had the following to say about the episode:

"This episode when out on the evening of November 11. Where I come from, that's St. Martin's Day. A day where children turn up at your door with a light in a hollowed out sugarbeet or paper lantern, sing a song, and expect to be given candy. That cannot be a coincidence, surely?"

I have no idea if that holds any water, because with scheduling funkiness it can be nearly impossible to line things up perfectly, but I thought that was a neat little something!
