I enjoyed that. I especially loved Ichabod's cheesy lines at the beginning. "Let us unleash our own horsemen." The Pied Piper's design kicked rear end too. That's one thing I absolutely love about this show, all of the monsters look so drat cool. Next week's looks great too. The Weeping Lady was it? I am a little worried about the "three weeks" bit at the end. Just three more episodes until the midseason break? Come on, it just got here.

I love that it turns out he was just hamming it up and being dramatic on purpose. I know it's been said any times already but they play the "man from the past doing future stuff" so perfectly.

I know it's been said any times already but they play the "man from the past doing future stuff" so perfectly. The best part is that it never quite goes the way you figure it will go. When he's first riding in Abigale's car in the first episode he sidesteps the usual "My Lord! A horse less carriage? What sorcery is this?!" crap and starts playing with the power windows because, hey, that's really kind of neat. In this one you expect him to go in fits and starts, almost hitting things and generally being every new driver ever. Instead, Abbie mentions that Japanese thing and Ichabod blows through the driving lesson like the professional stunt driver (who was actually driving the car). johntfs fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Oct 14, 2014 |

For the benefit of us non-Americans, is this episode based off a real legend of the Revolutionary War? Because, for me, it wasn't very captivating and felt like serious filler. I also thought the Piper looked kind of lovely.

Waffleman_ posted:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pied_Piper_of_Hamelin I know about the Pied Piper of Hamelin. I'm asking in particular if there was some random legend from the war about a ~*~magical faerie satyr~*~ whose pan-pipes assassinated a company of Regulars. Given how the show has previously attempted to ground its weirdness in reality, I was curious if there really was a story from the war about that. I guess I should over-explain what I'm asking next time so morons don't assume I'm even dumber than they are

I said this about Henry earlier, but whatever, they need to split his chatacter in two so we can have Badass Evil Irving and Badass Good Irving on the show at the same time.

Also, it just felt odd that last week they brought a Franklinstein's monster to life using the severed head of the Horseman of Death, which is now out there somewhere doing who-knows-what... and nobody seems particularly concerned about that this week.

Robot Hobo posted:I would guess that Irving is going to become Andy's replacement. Same basic situation, he doesn't want to be a bad guy (though Andy wasn't quite as adamant about that) but Moloch OWNS him now, so he doesn't really get to say no. Andy was Death's servant and Irving is deaths.

I was pretty disappointed with the latest seasons for Orphan Black, Bates Motel, Orange is the New Black, and Hannibal (There were some amazing parts but I just felt like none of them reached the potential of the prior seasons). Without spoilers, is Sleepy Hollow season 2 gonna let me down?

I'm wondering what the consequences of Washington Irving not existing in this show's universe are (but otherwise things are as similar as possible; all other major authors do actually appear to exist in this fictional world). The obvious ones are that the short stories The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip van Winkle don't exist. The latter not existing is why Ichabod Crane is referred to as "Captain America" and not "Rip van Winkle", as a metaphor for someone long asleep. (Heh, I didn't realize until I wrote that sentence that both Steve Rogers and Buck Rogers pulled a Rip van Winkle.) It's likely no one in this world is going to think that people thought the world was flat and Christopher Columbus proved it wasn't. That was fanciful invention of Irving that caught on in the real world; Irving wrote loads of stuff on Spain partly because he served as ambassador to Spain. Because of that, it might also be the case that other American authors were never inspired to visit Spain, either. Ernest Hemingway might never have been inspired to spend so much time in Spain, so we might not get The Sun Also Rises, which means the Running of the Bulls is not well-known to this world's United States. The Spanish Civil War would still have occurred, and still attracted people, so we still might get For Whom the Bell Tolls though. Let's see ... this world's version of Westeros might be mysteriously missing Dorne (Irving is partly responsible for making sure the world has heard of things like Alhambra). Someone else has to be thought of as the first major American fiction writer. I'm guessing James Fenimore Cooper. I can't think of anything else. Random TV episodes and such aren't really all that significant. I'm probably overthinking this, but this is fun anyway.

So I was talking to a friend the other day and all of a sudden, she whipped out a Sleepy Hollow novel out of her purse. Is this poo poo for real? She said it was canon or something but what the gently caress, it was an original story too. Does anyone know anything more about this?

That would be The Secret Journal of Ichabod Crane. I don't know much about it, but there was an interview with the author on the Sleepycast.
