Radio! posted:I'm curious how they're going to manage regular communication with Katrina to begin with if her magic is really as weak/gone as she said. She certainly doesn't have a cell phone and it's not like they can attack the cottage every time they need a meeting. The Cranes came from the age of the most successful spy ring in history, and Katrina's being guarded by a man-thing from that same age, too moonstruck to spot anything that's not happening right in front of his eyes. They'll work it out.

Halloween isn't falling on a Monday this year of course, but I really hope for a Halloween episode at the end of the month. I know this show is basically Halloween stuff through and through, but gotta imagine what their take on the holiday is like if they're able to base an episode around it.

According to John Noble on the Sleepycast, the plotline with Henry being Irving's lawyer is going to have a hell of a payoff about halfway through the season.

I can see it happening. It's not hard to imagine Parrish taking the tact of "You signed the contract in blood of your own free will. Hold to it or your soul is forfeit - and so are the lives of your wife and child. But if you keep faith with my lord Moloch, he will heal and restore your child." The carrot/stick approach usually works with a tasty enough carrot combined with a painful enough stick. I wondering if making/becoming monsters is going to be the theme of the season. While some people think Captain Reyes belongs to Moloch, I think she's going to be a monster on the good guys' side, like Dexter or Jack Bauer. The question with will be: How much necessary evil will she choose to do before she lapses into unnecessary evil?

Robot Hobo posted:Of course, Ben Franklin died a century before H.P. Lovecraft was born, so Ben couldn't have actually been quoting Lovecraft at all. Either Lovecraft took those lines from Franklin, or they both got it elsewhere and the Necronomicon is probably in play. Not that I wouldn't love the Necronomicon to show up but this show really isn't very Lovecraftian, there's no real "good vs evil" theme in Lovecraft's work, it's all about the hopelessness of resisting terrifying cosmic powers. They could throw in Unaussprechlichen Kulten or De Vermis Mysteriis though, that would be cool.

I loved how in the finale how War went from kindly old man to complete rear end in a top hat. It was seeing Walter and Walternate in one person.

hangedman1984 posted:I imagine its nothing more than an easter egg But we just had the headless horseman fighting his own drat head (which had been stored in a safe deposit box between seasons) that had been stuck to the top of a Franklinstein's monster who was reanimated by witch magic after more than two centuries of being preserved in a battery-powered crypt under a police station, who needed incantations about the Old Ones to awaken from death. All started and (for now) finished within the space of a single episode because nothing here was crazy enough by their standards to warrant a two-parter. I'm never saying "never" with this show.

Thread titles for several threads are changed weekly if the OP asks or if a mod so chooses based on a line or plot development in the show. These changes usually occur a couple hours or a day at most, and sometimes minutes, after the conclusion of the episode. That's the way it's been done for a long while now. I'm sorry something was spoiled for you but the only thing I can say is maybe don't visit the forum if you're that bothered by spoilers? I mean we're not going to be able to work these things around everyone's viewing habits. The rule is that if something has aired in the Eastern time zone it's fair game. That includes in the thread or the title. Title changes especially are usually done while the episode is fresh in people's minds.

Not spoiling stuff in the thread is very different from not spoiling stuff in the title. Expecting people to avoid the thread before they watch the episode is fair, expecting then to avoid the whole forum, and often their User Control Panel, is (IMO) not.

At least with a show like this where they pull all kinds of crazy poo poo out of their rear end, if I were spoiled by the thread title I would have no idea what the context behind it is. All it would do for me is make me want to get to watching the episode as soon as humanly possible.

Robot Hobo posted:Seriously, Franklinstein's monster? Who was going to fall for that? I would've 100% assumed that was an absurd joke if I hadn't seen the episode. Part of me hopes they find some way to incorporate Civil War-era mythology into the show. Warlock Lincoln vs. demonic familiar Robert E. Lee. John Wilkes Booth in an apocalypse cult. And Harper's Ferry? John Brown was freeing slaves while also stealing Pestilence's Secret Amulet. Crane was asleep, but Katrina consulted on the whole thing from Purgatory. With the help of reformed-vampire Alexander Hamilton, who faked his death in a duel with Aaron Burr to conceal his vampiric nature.

Robot Hobo posted:Also, most of the spoilers you could give are going to look like crazy made-up bullshit trolling anyway, until the very moment it actually happens in the episode and goes from "obviously a joke" to "oh, that is actually happening" with no steps in-between. Sleepy Hollow is special that way. After 15 episodes of this show, which has given us everything from decapitated 18th century soldiers wielding assault rifles to Ben Franklin in the nude, I would believe literally anything.
