Sleepy Hollow

[TheVileOne]

I kind of don't want Sleepy Hollow to end. However, the show has really lost itself this season.

In the first season you had this unraveling sense of mystery. The forces of evil were encroaching. Sleepy Hollow seemed to be this odd epicenter of supernatural activity.

Taking Katrina out of Purgatory wasn't so terrible, however taking her out and involving her with Abraham/Horseman was awful. Now she's basically betrayed her own ****ing husband out of sense of bizarre guilt/loyalty to Abraham. To not lose faith in your son as he had become a horseman himself is one thing...but the vain and petty Abraham? FFS.

To me, serializing the season wasn't the bad move, it was all the bad writing in plotting.

For example. Hawley has some unfinished thing going on with Jenny. Then he is going after Abbie and the show teases them getting into a relationship. Now he is going back with Jenny. IMHO, that's bad writing.

Also, it's not that I dislike the Hawley character, but he's appeared far too much on the show. He doesn't need to be a regular. Like someone they can consult for help now and again.

I've been thinking the same thing for the last three months. Its Heroes all over again only the show's self destructing fast in one season compared to Heroes during S2-4 (Writers Strike be damned)

Woah, while I feel that the show has missed a step this season and definitely not grabbing me as much as it did last year, I would hardly put it in the same class as the downfall of Heroes. Alot of the actors are still doing their damnedest and if they figure things again, it could easily turn back around.

To me, serializing the season wasn't the bad move, it was all the bad writing in plotting.

I'm maybe 4 episodes behind, but I agree. Alex Kurtzman gets crapped on all the time, but he was heavily involved in season 1 and it shows. It was a much tighter show.

If there's one thing the show needs to change, it has to be flashbacks of everything the charcters talk about from previous episodes. It's horrible.

Episode 13 "Pittura Infamante" The bleeding painting was a really creepy visual. Katia Winter did look stunning in that black dress and Ichabod's "Betty who?' line made me laugh. Kind of heart breaking seeing Irving get handcuffed in front of Abbie like that. Interesting seeing Ichabod and Katrina team up to solve a case. The scene with the dead guy waking up and choking Jenny was awesome and the special effects makeup looked great. The hand reaching out of the painting and grabbing Ichabod was genuinely startling and I liked the visual of the killer walking out of the painting. Sounds like good news for Irving at the end!

 

[Fallen Angel]

KATRINA LOOKED HOTT!
I'll take her if Ichabod don't want her and ends up with Abbie.

 

[Sithborg]

I really hope they don't keep changing course on their relationship. I do like it when the Cranes are working together, happily. No more relationship drama, please.

Jenny Mills vs rotten zombie

 

[Human Torch]

This was my favorite episode in a while. Despite my misgivings,it seems they can make Katrina a part of the team. Unfortunately,it's only successful at the expense of Abbie. I kinda don't like the course they're taking with Abbie.She seems a bit too far into the End Game,that she's become fairly unsympathetic. I mean, the "good guys" don't traditionally take the "If I gotta kill 'em,I gotta kill 'em" attitude.It's usually the "We'll find a way..." routine.But still,I enjoyed it.

Jenny's scene was equally creepy & funny. I still don't like Katrina in 'Modern Dress'. At least without her making some comment on it. I would think someone from her era would find modern fashion somewhat 'uncomfortable'. I'm just saying she should vocally love or loath her clothes,but she seems to have adapted without any notice.

 

[Hunter Rider]

This was my favourtie episode since the Pied Piper ep. I thought the case was great and the villain was really creepy and excellently depicted visually.

I'm not a huge fan of Katrina but she did look amazing in that outfit, she went for the classic little black dress/high heels combo, works every time!

Poor Irvine is going through the ringer, hopefully there's some upturn for him soon and he gets to be more proactive.

Abbie is in Jack Bauer mode these days, even Jenny is being warmer. I wonder if it's to push the "shippers" away from her and Crane.

 

[RockSP]

In hindsight this season should've been 13 episodes like the first. And somebody needs to tell Team Hollow to invest in some protection. Irving sword fighting a horseman in just a hoody, Abbie with no vest fighting the corpse soldiers and of course getting shot...get a clue people, lol.

 

[chamber-music]

Hawley and his magical deus ex machina artefacts

 

[Uskok]

They should have supernatural cases to solve in some other places, not just Sleepy Hollow. It's impossible that all the supernatural crap on the planet happens only in one city.

Yeah, I feel the same way about Abbie's character this year and that Katrina has been put to the forefront, but unfortunately at Abbie's expense. I love her as a character, so it pains me that she's been made to be this robot with one prime directive. Everyone in her circle (Corbin, Andy, even Luke for Pete's sake) has disappeared so she has no character development or anything to soften her up. Until recently, Jenny was MIA so she didn't have much interaction with her. It almost feels like she's being brought to the level of sidekick.

I was thinking so too. At the Cons, there was a lot of beating over the head by the showrunners that that was never going to be an option. Which is funny, because I have never seen a show try to dissuade shippers so hard. I don't even think Wincest got as much pushback, lol

 

[enterthemadness]

I've only seen the first episode of thus season, but is season good? I have to watch the season or series finale cause I was an extra in a flashback 1700 scene, well in two scenes, but doubt I'll be seen lol. I won't say any spoilers so don't ask, but if Season 3 happens it won't be in North Carolina due to film tax expired. Atlanta, GA and South Carolina are options for season 3 if renewed according to news here.

I don't get the reference...?

You ever watch Supernatural? Look it up, but prepare yourself.

 

[RockSP]

You ever watch Supernatural?

Nope.

Look it up, but prepare yourself.

Due to that warning, I shall abstain.

 

[Human Torch]

Do many people really ship Abbie & Crane? I don't see it. It's pretty refreshing that they actually seem to have them as nothing more than friends. But as I said many times,Crane is strongly tied to Katrina. I wouldn't easily buy him braking off from her for another woman.Seems wildly out of character for him.

 

[Uskok]

Crane is an old-fashioned gentleman. He would never betray his wife.

 

[terry78]

Unless she dies or turns traitor.

 

[Uskok]

Very unlikely.

The season's been a little hit or miss for me, but worth a watch. And pretty cool that you were an extra, you'll have to come back and let us know that if you made it t one of the scenes.

Quite a few people having been making a point about how much chemistry Abbie and Crane have, which is why they've been trying to tamp it down. I personally think they're cute together (I'm an opposites attract kind of girl) but wouldn't want them in a relationship because romance bogs down a show like this and I don't have enough faith in the writers to pull it off. Plus he's still married. Maybe at the end of the series a la Mulder and Scully, where they can't really do much damage to the show and if Katrina was dealt with.

That chick is a Mileena looking *****.

They are really one of the only reason the show works as well as it does, because frankly it ain't writing.

Episode 14 "Kali Yuga" Loved seeing Abbie perform karaoke to open the episode. Nice to see Jaime Murray show up. Great seeing Irving clear his name. Ichabod explaining Mary Poppins to Katrina was kind of funny. Loved the Star Wars reference. Funny seeing Abbie and Ichabod singing a duet. I wonder what Irving not having a reflection will mean.
