    Someone said before, in season one they were great about wrapping up things you thought would be season-long teases in just an episode or two. Now they're dragging out the stuff with Henry and Katrina way, way too long.

    If I had to guess, they made season one all alone, assuming it would die quietly. And once it became a hit, people started meddling, and now we're getting something a bit more mundane.

    They've created two romantic subplots, one for each main character (there was no real drama to Katrina/Crane before, they were more or less 100% fine, all of the tension was created this season). One of the smartest, most refreshing decisions was having the authority figure be totally on board...and they immediately got him out of the picture, replaced with the most boring and standard police chief possible. And they now have to sneak around her, just like in most every other similar type show. This also removed one of the show's more recognizable co-stars, who also promoted it heavily online and interacted with fans.

    They even gave the headless horseman a head. So he can talk to Katrina and add more romantic drama.

    I don't think there's a better visual to indicate the shift than that.

    I still like the show and I think it will get back into full gear once we start getting closer to the end of the season and "monster of the week gets defeated, Henry still gets what he wants, and all relationships advance 1 space" formula isn't the norm.

    I like a ton of the stuff they are setting up, but it's about time they started knocking down some of those dominoes.

    He had a cold.

    No, seriously. He had a cold, so they told him to stay home and take a nap.

    Before following any advice, opinions, or thoughts I may have expressed in the above post, be warned: I found Keven Costners "Waterworld" to be a very entertaining film.

    He was defeated by the true villain of the series: the common cold.

    Although I loved Crane vs Matzo Ball soup.
    Of course Matzo Ball soup wins. It always wins.

    I did like with the latest episode, for this monster of the week, instead of going with the usual semi biblical or colonial based monster they just said "Fuck it!" and went straight to
    Gorgon

    I really enjoy the series, but they seem to be spinning their tires a bit with things going on and I really hate what they have been doing with Katrina. 1st season she was stuck in Purgatory the whole time, now she's just stuck in that house most of the time. Everytime we have Icabod and Abbie off having adventures and then cut to Katrina sitting in that house looking sad.

    Probably the problem with going from 13 episode first season to 22(?) episode second, there is a lot more to fill out.

    A shining sword appeared, Crane grabbed it, inspirational speech ensued, and I think that was it. Not sure if there was a stinger after that.

    Yeah, I missed 20 mins of that episode because of goddamn Fox News cutting in with Ferguson shit, and it came back to a Gorgon and I was like "what the hell happened while I was away?" :(

    Yeah I expected a bit more things strewn across where the 13 colonies were since everything links back to that period. like every 5 feet in sleepy hollow you can slam a shovel down and hit an ancient powerful artifact and mythological creature.

    A major dodge in this episode:
    headless horseman assumes his honest form with a face, they completely avoid grabbing the gargons head to show him and turn him to stone because they need him around as a tool for drama/violence.

    I'm hoping after they resolve what they resolve tonight they right the ship, stop having John Noble's character literally be the cause of all problems in Sleepy Hollow and put some more god damned Irving in. Otherwise I won't mourn the cancelation.

    @DiannaoChong‌
    they would have to make the gorgon actually see the headless horseman for that to be a valid strategy. so we can assume the witch magic does not work on gorgons and plot-hole prevented. a witch did not do it.

    Both Katrina and Henry are so much dead weight. Also at this point I swear to god Henry is like a writer's personal stand in. Though he wasn't nearly as awful as Katrina, holy crap was she awful.

    I feel like I watch he show mostly for John Noble.

    What can I say, I don't hate Henry and I love the actor.

    Still this episodes end was pretty good. Though I am done with Katrina.

    See I can't stand Noble, he's become such a "And then Henry does this completely invalidating the heroes struggle!" He's too powerful, and too much saturday morning cartoon villain "I'LL GET YOU GADGET!"

    Also were were supposed to think Katrina wasn't being a complete bitch and a horrible person? Like seriously every complaint Ichabod raised was valid, every single one, and her defense was uhh reasons? I mean shit the entire apocalypse was directly Katrina's fault, and yet she's trying to act like Ichabod was being a dick.

    Show came back last night and it should have stayed away. Holy shit was it bad. They added an angel in to the conflict, katrina freed the horseman, they had demons in like walmart masks. It was just awful.

    I dislike Katarina.

    She's like the person in every horror movie who has a bad idea and makes the others do it and it always backfires.

    I'm waiting for the Sam, Dean, and Castiel crossover as they have now added angels to the mix.

    Yeah Katrina is the worst part of the show and yet the writers clearly want us to see her viewpoint on things even when her viewpoint is freaking awful.

    Like I get it you feel bad that he was your betrothed but Ichabod's icharod swung you to his side, but lady most people don't lose out on a girl and go off and become a horseman of the apocalypse that's a big jump for most men.

    Yeah, the minute the angel showed up, my wife stood up, said "Fuck this, I'm out," and walked out of the room, Jerry Seinfeld-style.

    My wife and I said "What?" and man his wings/costume was cheesy as hell. And like all the bad angel cliches were there. Old english, wearing older armor, using mid evil weaponry (a chakram really?) just really kind of dumb.

    Its like this show is rushing through supernaturals arcs as fast as they can. They are already up to season 6/7 of supernatural.

    And the worst part is they are doing their best to ruin the Abbie and Ichabod relationship. Like with Katrina being there and terrible, the connection between abbie and ichabod is just awful.

    Like it was funny with Hawley because ichabod was clearly jealous but didn't want to admit that, but with Katrina she is literally Ichabod's wife and for some stupid reason he feels he should be with her even though she's a horrible liar and emotionally manipulative person. And again the writers clearly want us to understand where Katrina is coming from.

    I'm 100% for them turning the horseman to their side as an ally, and having katrina just be with him, and let them be shitty people together that occasionally help out and dont have their own B/C plot lines.

    Yeah Katrina works best when she's not around at all.

    also I laughed and laughed at the chakram.

    like what? this is your power weapon? really? what was it your halo? get outta here.

    But then what happens to Franklinstein's monster? I mean, he's still running around with the horseman's head on his shoulders. I think they're gonna need that back if the want the horseman on their side.

    My theory for why they don't want her around or engaged in silly side quests is that they don't want a witch stealing the Witnesses thunder. I like her, she needs to be written better, otherwise they're risking turning her into the show's Laurel, if they haven't already. :(

    I actually really liked the idea of the glowing chakram being what people saw as a halo.

    The rest of it was pretty bad, yeah.
