Yeah, they did a way better job setting up Henry as a bad guy than Katrina.

GyverMac posted:Was cool with a time travel seasong finale, where the roles of Abbie and Ichabod was reversed. A real neat way to end it if its not getting a 3rd season. It wasn't totally clear if she was supposed to be bad bad, or morally ambiguous. It went back and forth a bit. Wanting "her people" to be free to be themselves isn't bad, especially if Washington promised them that in return for their help. Witches could be very handy to have around when you're fighting demons and whatnot. But the first 3 people Henry tries to wake up immediately resort to violence, so maybe witches are bad??? Semi-justified violence since they are each under stress when their powers manifest, but couldn't one of them have been under stress that caused them to use their powers to rescue someone from a burning car or something? And then Henry is all "now we're going to burn the non-witches, hahahaha" and she's fine with that. Which also makes no drat sense since we recently learned the Salem Witch Trials were orchestrated by a warlock, not muggles. Wanting to save her son is admirable. In another story breaking causality to save a child could be something the hero does. She'll not just save his life, but save his childhood, so he'll never grow up to be a bitter, crazy old man. It is dangerous, and it's obviously something people who like 2015 the way it is now need to try to stop, but it is understandable. All she needs to do is not save Crane after his fight with the horseman, so she won't be banished for using forbidden magic. Crane doesn't need to die, she just can't save him the way she did before, so when Abbie saves him everything should be fine. Then she hooks up with Death to make sure her husband is killed, for no reason at all.  She ricochets between understandable actions and moustache twirling evil, and I'm still not sure what we were supposed to think about her.

What does the new Batman game have to do with Sleepy Hollow? Well, if rumors are to be believed, there's a familiar voice in this trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpXUIh7rlWI Edit: He's tweeting about it, John Noble is the loving Scarecrow.

Marathoned seasons 1 and 2, and I hope we get a season 3. It's an interesting premise, albeit batshit crazy. I really didn't like how they handled Katrina's flip to being a villain. Just seemed kinda, lazy. They had a character that was pretty cool, then they busted her out of purgatory, and then they just have no clue wtf to do with her. loving LOVING John Noble in this show. He's such a bastard. The part where you think he's about to go all good guy and heal the hotel chick's leg and smite assholes just turns into "Eh, gently caress it, still gonna smite assholes but I'ma go get my genocide on" instead. Did they ever figure out what to do about the Kindred? It was kicking the poo poo out of Death and then it ran off to terrify kids or something. Loved the callback in the finale though. Weirdest thing to me is I can't figure out why Crane was arrested to begin with in the first episode. Dude was just walking around when Sulu rolled up and arrested him.

Well, this sounds familiar. A black woman detective with a troubled history teams up with man who was sleeping for a long time and also 'knows things', in a Fox TV series with the same title as a popular movie. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/minority-report-stark-sands-star-778152 The MSJ fucked around with this message at 16:36 on Feb 27, 2015 |

Loved the callback in the finale though. Well, it was doing exactly what Ben Franklin designed him to do. Dunno how he programmed him to fight for Crane and Abbie when he's got the Horseman's head, but magic etc. etc. Tom Mison mentioned in an interview that they should have done an Avengers riff and had the Kindred sitting at a table picking at shawarma crumbs in a diner somewhere waiting for orders from the Witnesses. Death should do a heel turn and team up with the Kindred fighting hordes of demons whipped into an apocalyptic frenzy by Orion. I genuinely hope that the Sleepy Hollow producers even considered this for a nanosecond.

So many dropped plotlines this season, including wtf Orion was talking about when Crane smashed his halo blade. Seemed like an important point like "OH poo poo YOU JUST OPENED PURGATORY AND OR HELL" or something, but nope, flighty bastard wings off and promptly gets forgotten about.

Yes, they're very similar. I know I can't wait until the twins receive a vision of Alexander Hamilton rising from the dead to murder descendents of Aaron Burr.

Well I just finished season 2. Not as strong as S1 but it still had a lot of strong episodes. There was a lot of really disjointed stuff though, I got a really strong impression that something was not right in production Either way, still solid. Katrina as a villain was great. She pulled off 'Evil Witch' really well actually, too bad it came out of nowhere and then she almost immediately died. This still leaves the headless horseman though and I want at least a season 3 dealing with him

A couple of weeks ago I looked up the show to see if it had been renewed for a third season and everybody was saying it wasn't going to be renewed, and now they're saying it may or may not be. But apparently the head writer is gone now. I assume that's what "show runner" means. http://www.zap2it.com/blogs/sleepy_hollows_showrunner_is_leaving_where_does_that_leave_a_season_3-2015-03

Yeah, pretty much. A lot of people weren't happy with Goffman's choices. I wonder who's up next. I wonder if they'd be ballsy enough to promote the creator to showrunner (Iscove) or if they're just gonna pick like Kindler or something if it comes back.

Writers "leaving" is usually a toss-up of what actually happened. The ratings plummeted for season 2 and almost all the reviewers agreed that they lost something in season 2 with the random meandering plots that went nowhere and ended up completely dropping the ball with some things. For fucks sake they introduced a literal Angel who came to stop Moloch and made it a one-off episode that was never mentioned again.

Now I'm wondering if Katrina's heel-turn was something he planned for Season 3, but his decision to leave came while writing the last couple episodes, and so he just went ahead and did it.

Lycus posted:Now I'm wondering if Katrina's heel-turn was something he planned for Season 3, but his decision to leave came while writing the last couple episodes, and so he just went ahead and did it. It did seem abrupt, and not in the cool first season way. Her final acts were really unfocused, and nonsensical. Mother wracked by guilt will do anything to save her child -- perfectly good tragic premise. In character too, since she got into trouble back in the day for being willing to do anything to saver her husband It also has a nice completeness since what she has to do to saver her child is not save her husband. As long as she doesn't cast the long sleep spell on Ichabod her coven will have no reason to punish her with purgatory, so her son will never end up in the wicked orphanage. Then things get stupid. Abbie saves him in a way that won't get Katrina in trouble. Great. Everything is fine now. We just have to defeat Moloch again and the world is saved. Katrina gets fixated on killing her husband and ends up doing a bunch of stupid poo poo that would probably piss off her coven all over again.

Renewed for Season 3 with 18 episodes. New showrunner is Clifton Campbell (The Glades, White Collar, Profiler and SeaQuest 2032). Kinda a surprise there.

On one hand, the new showrunner looks like a Fox exec brought him in. So, we'll likely get the "more episodic, less serial" stuff we heard about for season 3. On the other hand, if they had promoted a current writer to showrunner ... umm, I'm not really sure if anyone was up to the task with what I saw in season 2, honestly.

Like I said, I really don't mind the series becoming more episodic. Really, where season 2 tripped was in its serial stuff and just not knowing what to do with it. Then again, I'm a fan of episodic media anyway.

I thought S2 was pretty episodic, but then (in the first half) they'd make it seem serialized by throwing in a bad Henry scene. "Look, that monster was just part of Henry's latest scheme! Bum bum bum!"
