Aww, I wished they'd turned John Cho dying at the end of every episode into a thing but oh well maybe next week. I also love Ghost Clancy Brown and hope he keeps coming back too. Okay Sleepy Hollow, I'm sold. Also, this show needs more of Ichabod being charmingly bemused by modern technology/society, THAT is the best part of this show.

Hey, apparently Satan has good healthcare coverage.

Show of hands, who else here is kind of bummed that FOX didn't splurge and just buy the rights to Sympathy for the Devil to use as their opening theme? Sure they wouldn't have any money left over for their VFX budget, but at least I could get up and dace for about 20 seconds while the intro rolled.

Well I think it's pretty obvious, given that she's a main character, that they're gonna rescue his wife from Limbo or wherever the hell she's tapped in before the end of the season. And between her, Abby, Ichabod, Sarah Conner, John Noble, Ghost Clancy Brown and Officer Ex-Fiancée, it looks like they're setting up a pretty nice little Scooby Gang 2.0, if things come together the right way. Or it'll end up cancelled by November, because, well, FOX. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Sep 25, 2013 |

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

The only thing wrong with that image is that she spelled "leftenant" wrong. Also, was I seeing things, or was Pestilence wearing an old-timey WWI-style gas mask under that kabuto? Because if so, that was a nice touch.

Frostwerks posted:I kinda hope the entire police force or at least the main players come around. It'd be some strange poo poo to see a functional, competent and credulous police force in a show. They seem to be laying the groundwork for a Person of Interest-style set up with the Main Duo (Ichabod and Abby), plus a stable of competent supporting characters with actual legal (or illegal) sway to help them out (ie: Jenny, Irving, Katrina, Ghost Clancy Brown, Ramirez & white guy, ect.)

Van Tassel But yeah, they seemed to kind of wrap things up real quick this week, but I'm really hoping John Noble and Free Mason dudes stick around ala Jenny.

Someone needs to like graph the ratio of crazy:awesome this show is running on, because I bet its like like a straight diagonal line reaching upward toward infinity starting from the first second of the pilot. I can't believe I went into the pilot rolling my eyes at the premise only for it to become like my favourite show can't-miss show since like . Everyone seems like they're just having a blast making this show, and that joy effortlessly translates to the audience too. I'm so happy that this shows become such a smash hit.

Same thing here, more-or-less. I'm a Canadian with about the level of tour guide knowledge about the American Revolution that would make Ichabod over, but it's approachable enough and does a good enough explaining things to the viewer that you can keep up and not really miss a step. See: the Sally Hemmings montage.

Croisquessein posted:I'm not sure what to think of that treeman. I mean, guy in a rubber tree suit. Yeah, but it was a drat good looking rubber suit. The way they lit it during those fight/chase scenes really made it stand out. Between Treebeard, the Sandman, the Horsemen, charcoal witch, and Zombie Sulu's hosed up neck, this show as some drat impressive practical effects work that you usually don't see on TV any more in the age of CGI. I can't wait till we get some non-blur filtered shots of Moloch, because I'm pretty sure he's a practical effect too.

Compendium posted:Now that we know that Abbie's soul is on the line, I dread that the season finale will leave us hanging. Yeah, but at least we know we're getting a season two, so it won't be twinned with the dread that any moment between now and March FOX will announce they've cancelled it in favour of giving Greed another shot at life... Which, in all fairness, I wouldn't be too broken up about, but Greed was awesome.

At the rate they're going, I will be legitimately surprised if Kartina is still in Purgatory by the end of the season. SiKboy posted:I see 2 options for season finale cliffhanger. Katrina free, Abbie in Purgatory. (By the end of S2E01 Katrina sacrifices herself to free Abbie, returning to purgatory.) Either that or the finale ends with "Ichabod, Molochs vessel... Is your son!". I think it would be cool if it was some combination of the two. Team Crane all works together to save both Abbey and Katrina, Katrina's free from Purgatory, War is defeated, and it looks like we're getting a complete happy ending for the season until... Moloch-Possessed Jeremy shows up and sets the stage for season two.

Tupping Liberty posted:Is anyone else starting to get vibes that Katrina is maybe not on the good side? Or have I just been watching too much Scandal? I've been trying to write it off in my mind, but people I've spoken to about the show have pretty much said the same thing. She's lied to, withheld information from, and straight-up manipulated Ichabod (and Abbie) quite a few times since the show began. She also kind of dicked over Brom pretty hard, and the Four-Who-Speak-As-One seemed to imply that she really, honestly, totally deserved to be locked away in Purgatory for whatever she's done. I don't want to believe it and I'm hoping it's some sort of misdirect because it seems like they're setting up a way for Ichabod and Abbey to fall in love and for it to be okay because, oh, hey, Katrina was evil all along. But on the other hand, I'm getting this feeling in the pit of my stomach that she sought out Moloch herself from within Purgatory after the Four banished her and is either using him for some kind of larger purpose, or tried to and was overwhelmed by him because he's about as close to Satan as FOX can get away with showing on network television.

Blade_of_tyshalle posted:The scariest part was Ichabod in the devil's trouser. I'm seriously bummed we didn't get to see pink-striped t-shirt Ichabod. The writers must have an entire wall of their writer's room just covered in silly fan art and are trying to make all of it a reality before the end of the show. Great episode, but what the hell happened to Morales? Did they just leave him there at the safehouse unconcious? Or is he also dead now like his partner, Not-Chris Pine?

Katrina is actually Moloch in drag. ZombieCho is a time-displaced Hikaru Sulu. Parish is Ichabod's evil twin. Abbie and Jenny are actually the same person and have been fooling everyone with elaborate mind games. Orlando Jones is actually Orlando Bloom under heavy make up and costly CGI effects. Oh, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau shows up in the last two minutes because it turns out the whole show is a stealth continuation of Virtuality, because gently caress YOU FOX! Prove me wrong, Sleepy Hollow.

Dantes posted:He could use it to post vlogs all summer long while we wait for the return of the show !!! "Salutations denizens of the communications network dubbed the 'Internet.' My name is Ichabod Crane and though I may not look it at the moment due to my being trapped in a coffin, I am a... How shall we say, 'historical consultant' for the Sleepy Hollow Sheriff's Department. If anyone is watching this, the coordinates of my interment site are listed in the video description field. In the meanwhile, permit me to discuss how I found myself in this situation... For the second time in my life. " EDIT: I think I know how they can get Abby out of Purgatory and still keep Katrina. According to Katrina, there's only two ways out of Purgatory: someone takes your place, or you find forgiveness for your sins. Since Katrina's now out of Purgatory, presumably she doesn't have to worry about the forgiveness clause so her sins have fled the coop with her. So all Abby has to do is find forgiveness for whatever sins she has left to be forgiven, an easier task than Katrina finding forgiveness for being a living affront to God, so if she does that, presumably she gets to go free and we get one of those big Sleepy Hollow style "everybody wins" endings to kick off Season Two with.

I think it's a case of Kurtzman, Orci and Olin being savvy enough producers to know that fantasy shows on FOX get murdered before they even have a chance to make it thought their opening credits so they went for "big, crazy, and fast," and somehow ended up winning. Terra Nova for instance failed because it went big, and sort of crazy, but not crazy enough and not fast enough, ergo the show with the unsinkable premise of "Stephen Lang punches the gently caress out of dinosaurs," tanked. ...Yes I know focusing too much on the stupid family and a guy named Brannon Braga didn't really help things either, but that's semantics.

Compendium posted:I just realized, if the Horsemen so far are people who are connected to Crane, I wonder what's stopping one of them from being Victor Garber... Whether or not Victor Garber wants to do another TV series? That would be awesome though, because a) we get more Victor Garber, and b) Ichabod gets to be on both ends of a "No, gently caress YOU, Dad!" generational pissing match.

And then around mid July they just stop because he's figured out how to get Netflix working on Abbey's iPhone and spends the rest of the summer binge-watching Breaking Bad.
