If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I guess she survives that truck flip, making Death the shittiest Horseman. He's managed to kill what, two loving guys?

I was wondering why they let that news out because it seems like a major spoiler to what happens, but actually death isn't really that big of a deal on this show, so...

Maybe she is dead and will serve as a guide between realms more so than ichabod's wife did.

Death is so loving petty. He's supposed to usher in the end of the world but all he cares about is Katrina (despite not having a head to do any kissy-kissy with) like a loving schoolboy crush.

Death in this show works the same way as it does in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I figured if they were definitely going to kill her off, they would've had the horseman go over to the wreck and finish her off.

I'm always noticing her clothes. Whoever does their costuming has drat good taste. There are several things they've put Abbie in I'd want for myself. I'd probably never pull it off nearly as well but whatever. I'm glad they aren't dressing her in the typical 'lady detective' pantsuit.

Is anyone else having a hard time convincing their friends and acquaintances that this show is worth watching? It goes something like:

"So what's it about?"
"Well, time-traveling Ichabod Crane buddy cop duo. The headless horseman is a horseman of the apocalypse, and gets machine guns and stuff."
"Uh, that sounds absolutely awful."
"Yeah, it is, but it's also unbelievably good!"

It's just hard to explain in casual dialog why this show is any good. At best I can convince someone that it has a hilarious gimmick, but that's not usually enough to start them watching. I think I'm going to experiment with pitching it as "National Treasure the TV Series But Better."

I play up the strength of and chemistry between the leads and point to Orlando Jones' twitter feed to show just how much fun it seems the actors are having with the show. I also rave about how gorgeous Abbie and Jennie are. Once I mention that John loving Noble is a part of it (without spoiling the finale of course), my friends tend to start listening. "National Treasure meets Fringe" is pretty drat good, gonna have to start using that.

Are you talking about The Wind in the Willows? That's probably on there because Disney paired its cartoon version of Sleepy Hollow with the it, they call it The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and it's the only way to buy it now.

Haven't you played borderlands 2? If you want to really look like a badass, you have to walk away and let the thing explode behind you without turning around to look at the explosion. Only pussies look at stuff as they blow it up.

Season 2 is going to be 15 - 18 episodes.

I do miss having this show on my TV every week.
