Trolling Link for a decade


Tarrytown doesn't have 9 tracks, it barely has 4. Also the real station isn't as palatial as the shows.

Also the show needs to shoot more stock footage of the Tappan Zee, there's almost no trace of the new bridge they're building right next to it.

Then again, if they made the show any more accurate, nobody would watch it because the real Sleepy Hollow / Tarrytown is super boring and not as expansive as the show suggests.

Just a heads up. Audible has a reading of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow with Tom Mison narrating. I listened to the first 20 or so minutes and he does a pretty good job. I'm going to save the rest for a late night run through the woods.

I think they gave it away for free last year; it's a pretty decent reading. Mison's dulcet tones could make a phone book interesting.

So far I think the all-MOTW approach is running into a problem where, yeah, Abbie and Ichabod are still great, but the main plots are just dull.

It's missing something without the grand colonial conspiracies.

^Sucked into a convenient plot hole, to be spat out....somewhere, sometime, maybe. *shrug*

Anyway, wonder if they'll come back to Crane's adventures in Plasmodium later on; from what I've read it's not possible to actually 'cure' malaria so much as to stop an episode and make the parasite go dormant again.

Also the trailer at the end of episode 1 looked like it showed the actual Grim Reaper, I would be on board with that.

He started gaming in season 2 or even late season 1----Abbie walked in on him complaining that some kid with 420 in his username 'fragged' him.

Oh god they're going to drag him to an orthodontist and then reenact David After Dentist, aren't they?

Also anyone else get the idea that Zoe and Pandora are the same person? I don't know if this was directly spelled out somewhere and I'm just dumb or if it's a clever red herring but it seems like they're leading that direction....

First touch: Life.
Second touch: Dead again. Forever.
Up until this episode the main cast roll was:

Crane
Abby
Jenny
Betsy Ross
Pandora

of the 5: 4 women (2 WOC)

add in Joe Corbin and Abby's boss, which sorta balances men to women to almost 50/50.

This is an interesting anomaly for a straight up action adventure show that wasn't really going for a specific audience either.

Depending on how nitpicky you want to be about cultural and racial identities, according to IMDB, Shannyn Sossamon (Pandora) has native Hawaiian and Filipino heritage. Sleepy Hollow is also one of few network shows where the lead actress is black.

They don't work with the town sheriff's office anymore so there's no reason for her to be around.

Something that bugs me about this season is that Abbie's FBI career is kind of wonky. It was just six months between seasons and I guess that was enough to completely go through training?

It's mentioned that Ichabod was gone for 9 months, not 6 FWIW.

Still that's a really short amount of time to get established in an organization. Not so much Abbie, but her friend rose really quickly.
