WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

So uh what you are telling me is I should watch Sleepy Hollow.

I mean the premise sounds fun enough if the show doesn't take itself too seriously but it's got John Noble in it as a villain?!

WARNING! INTRUDERS DETECTED

Yeah, the episode by episode review stuff is great, I look forward to people warming up to Walter. The same happened to me; for most of season one I saw him as this meddling annoying old man who had nothing to contribute to the show, and now he basically is Fringe to me.

...of SCIENCE! posted:

Another upside of the switch in tone from pilot to series is that for once you have a show like this where the protagonists can actually get poo poo done without wading through red tape or fighting against their bosses and the government. Compared to Mulder and Scully being undermined every step of the way by the conspiracy or Sam and Dean Winchester alternating between being fugitives and FBI LARPers it's a nice change of pace.

I love when a show does this too. Inept and obstructive bureaucracy is a tired cliché at this point. Have the characters face real challenges and dangers instead.
