I mean the myth of the legend. It doesn't exist in this show.
Oof. Openly express disappointment with the writers while it's currently on? Yikes. (Unless she knows it's cancelled, but still not cool.)Katie Winters even thinks there's a problem with Katrina

oh crap. Someone lost his head
I really hope the series doesn't end here. The run up to the last episode felt so rushed to have Katrina's heel turn, but they kinda wrote themselves into that spot by writing her in a conflicting style. All season long she pulls some questionable things, but they always tried to rationalize it away instead of just hinting that maybe she might just be more of a selfish ******* than we realize. I think she would have made a really good villain if they wrote it better, but you could tell the writers were probably divided with where to go with her. It's too bad that she took up too much focus, but the end felt like they have a lot more potential there. I didn't hate Katrina as much as some people did, but she really became a burden on the show after a certain point.
Crane, Abbie in Pocket Storm mode, Jenny with more screen time, and Ninja Irving would make a pretty cool season 3. Throw in the Kindred, and that's all they need. Hawley isn't bad, but I'm against him for a few reasons. One, he is basically Jenny's replacement, and he also looks a little bit too much like Dark Sentinel.
They are running out of villains. Now they have only Abraham and the fallen angel whose name I can't remember.

Orion.
I think the problem they had with Katrina is she was in the way of the shows strongest card, the Abbie and Crane dynamic. I don't mean from a "shipper" POV, I think just from purely a chemistry and entertainment perspective the show is at it's best when they are working together, and Katrina got in the way of that because I don't think many cared about him getting back with her as they just want him to stay in the present in Sleepy Hollow and fight evil with Abbie.
I swear I didn't read your post before using the term Ninja Irving. Bringing back the Kindred is a great idea, he could come under the command of some new big threat and repalce HH as the physcial enemy for Crane and Abbie. I mean I know HH is pretty much the base of the mythos of Sleepy Hollow in the original story but I think they blunted him this seaosn by giving him a face and trying to add empathy to him. He was best as a Terminator-esque villain.

As far as I'm concerned,they pretty much divested the series of any interesting plot lines going forward. (I'm guessing they tried to tie as much of the story up, all but certain of this being the series finale) I guess Headless is still out there? I forget where we left him.
Frankly, Katrina is a pivotal part of the whole thing. That's why it's a slap in the face that she died instead of Irving or Jenny. She provided the motivation for Crane. They kinda didn't know what to do with her for a while,but I felt they put her to good use for the most part this season.
Anyway,with Katrina & Henry gone,there really is no personal motivation for Crane going forward. It can only lead to shallow "Let's fight the ghoul of the week- while Abbie & Crane fall for each other" plots, and if that's the case,I'd rather the show end here and now.

Katrina could have been and was for a time,effectively used as a team player.She had her own outlook and powerset,so she wasn't superfluous. I didn't really like Jenny all that much, though I warmed up to her this season.(I thought she'd have made a good duo with Hawley) Irving is cool,but I think his character has been played out at this point. So,when looking objectively, I still think Katrina had the most potential.
If anything, she should've remained evil for next season,so that they could deal with her in a less rushed manner. (seriously,Crane's whole family died within two episodes)
Anyway, as I said before, Katrina (and to an extent Henry) was a pivotal part in Crane's story. Without that, you lose a lot for him going forward. But, this was probably the end of the show. In any case, it was for me.
