Watch this show for the most petty portrayal of the The Headless Horseman ever.

Good OP, Annakie.

I thought the most petty portrayal implied it was the best portrayal.

Plus his whole thing is tricking people all the time, not fighting, and he used to have a pet golem, so it actually fits the show pretty well.

If John Noble does not recreate the duck soup mirror scene with his new friend I am going to be incredibly disappointed with the writers of Sleepy Hollow.

One of my favorite parts of the premiere was how much Ichabod disliked Ben Franklin, not because he was a person who should be disliked, but because he bossed Ichabod around.

Also because Ichabod likes to think of himself as the smartest guy in the room and so did Franklin.

Honestly, I think anyone would come to despise a person who routinely subjected you to his pasty white schlong and beer gut unprompted on what had to be at least a weekly basis.

While calling you a prude.

You know with any other show I would say the Franklinstein would show only in a few more episodes before dying in the season finale, or even just get killed off in the episode its introduced.

But with Sleepy Hollow I know the writers are going to milk the gently caress out of this and its going to be an official member of the team and it will be awesome :allears:

I like Hawley the previous two episodes, but yeah I was kinda surprised they brought him back so soon again after the last one, but this show is so fast paced it shouldn't be surprising. I think he is a good foil to Crane though when they are butting heads about who is the smartest guy in the room by having them throw fun facts at each other, but I am already getting tired of the "looking out for my own" shtick, I just want the show to hurry up and get past that characterization because we know he will.

I'm waiting for the inevitable moment when Moloch's army marches into Sleepy Hollow and the only defense against is the Colonial Historical Society's Re-enactors.

Only if Crane gets a speech where he states that their battle will be one reenacted for the ages.

Moloch and his army of petty assholes are really commentary on bureaucracy and how dumb asses fall upwards into positions.

The idea is hilarious to me and you can't tell me otherwise.

Yeah I think the show is heading in that direction as well, we already seen a few hints that not everyone on the side of good is really all that good, the masons were really shady and if they weren't killed off so quickly I am sure we would have found out some more seedy poo poo about them.

edit: I mean its kinda clear since the theme of this season is new allies who are bit iffy. We have Franklinstien's monster, rogue adventurer Hawley, and foreboding Sheriff.

I like Hawley but they are using him so much that I am getting tired of him too. They seem to be pushing him because he is somehow going to play a big role in things somewhere along this season so they are shoving him into every episode they can instead of going the route they did with Henry.

I want Moloch to have a boss, so it turns out that the boss also thinks Moloch is highly incompetent and bad at their job, and has just been using Moloch as a distraction for the witnesses while the other demon guy gets his army ready.

I just really want Hell's chain of command to all hate each other for being bad at their job and grow even larger.

I missed Headless being Headless and not Abe.

It seems like the show realizes that this is a problem but still want Abe to be his own character hence the separation thing.

I am curious how this is going to go horribly wrong, it will probably involve Franklinstien's monster.

Yeah he's definitely the Old Testament kind of angel, you know, the kind that made people drop to their knees in awe and terror of the glory of the Lord.

I really hope it turns out Orion is really the only angel like this, and all the other ones are just really chill dudes who just kinda shrug at everything going on in the show.

I still get the feeling they were ordered to off Moloch by midseason by the horrible douchebags running Fox. Like some higher up network exec who watched none of the episodes but saw Moloch in one of the trailers and said Oooo thats too scary, make someone else the overarching villain.

And the rest of the season is the writers trying to recover from having to toss several seasons of plots and rebuild from the ground up while trying to recapture the mojo of the first season but failing miserably..

Uh, hmm.

Nope?

Absent Hessians on dinosaurs next week, I'm done with this show. Actually, I'm pretty much done with the show now. It's ruined for me. It wasn't Katrina or Henry or lack of Irving or Jenny or Crane Family Drama that did it. It was this episode. This episode proves that The Powers That Be are officially The Fanbase. This episode was about "Giving the Fans What They Want" without regard to plot or character or story logic. So, at this point, fan service trumps everything. Do the fans want Ichabod and Abbie to get married? Fine. Do they want Irving, Jenny Ichabod and Abbie to have a sexual foursome? Fine.

See, fan input seems like a good thing at first. However, generally the worst movies, TV episodes, etc. are those written by committee. Those that try to please everyone. Now, Sleepy Hollow will be a show "written" by a committee of thousands. There is a reason that "fan fiction" is a synonym for "lovely, self-indulgent writing." We got an object lesson in that this episode. I suspect the next part of that lesson will come next week.
