Sleepy Hollow - Fringe creators' new TV series

Episode 7 "Deliverance" Ichabod made me laugh during the voting scenes at the beginning. I thought the scene with Henry talking to Ichabod was quite good.

 

[markpud]

The voting scene was excellent, and very well timed for the US elections! I'm not sure why either horseman is letting our heroes live this long though, surely that's not part of Molloch's plans (unless he's more interested in ratings!)

 

[BAYLOR]

I wonder when the Horseman and the Kindred are going to have another go at each other.

 

[markpud]

I believe there's an upcoming US TV thing called Sweeps where ratings are super important and the big guns get wheeled out for some headless vs borrowed head action

The Kindred is one cool creature , I hope it gets to survive that encounter.

Episode 8 "Heartless"

Spoiler

Pretty cool succubus. Not sure what to make of that ending.

I love the second season. It's perfect even if they didn't get the "Halloween" episode quite right. Henry's plan is awesome and they have got Katrina in the play amazingly well. Sleepy Hollow isn't just a "monster-of-the-week" type of series, but something that grows amazingly further you go down into the series and allow yourself to believe the magic behind it. I could as well say that the series is best urban fantasy that we can get at the moment, besides the Constantine.

Im glad Fox gave this show a chance. But one thing that helped it's chances was the 13 episode first season.

I took the ending as Katerina's necklace doing the same thing to baby Molloch as it does to Mr Headless - shows a humanised form rather than reality. So I guess this means she may start to nurture baby Molloch rather than kill him?!

@markpud. I agree but not just because it's logically plausible, but because of witches long history on dancing with the devil. They're not scared of the unknown but they embrace is no matter how ugly things might get. And I think it's wise from Jeremy "Walter" Crane to choose a witch to do the job than kidnapping a human and forcing them to do his will, even if it would please Moloch more to see innocent human getting corrupted while doing the task.

 

[markpud]

Yep he was actually pleased that "mother" had come round to their way of thinking. Or maybe she'll play along but not be sucked in?!

 

[Jesse412]

Episode 10 "Magnum Opus" was arguably the best episode so far this season.

Spoiler

Thought the Gorgon looked pretty cool. Wasn't expecting Irving to ditch Jenny. The quest for the Sword of Methuselah sort of had an Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade vibe but I think the show went their own way. Great ending.

Preview for next week looks awesome.

Moloch shall raise!

One problem with that equation is Ichapod. And his sword. The one that mightier than the pen. His mouth.

I absolutely love how his character has developed from the man that raise from the ground and took the 21st century as an adventure. We love his fussiness, absolutely, cos there's no Sleepy Hollow with the quirky timetraveller. One, who has now arrived to the end of the world. But will there be a restaurant at the end of the Universe is another question - I doubt it - although I believe there's going to a few nice settings they visit as Henry brings forth the biblical Apocalypse.

And that's Sleepy Hollow at best. I also take back my words about the Halloween episode as there was no Halloween, just the continuation of the main story, and I have to say, this series has never been a monster-of-the-week type but something greater. Something equivalent to the glorious Fringe itself. No doubly, at least in my mine.

Some could argue that it's sh*t, but I would say watch it from the beginning and drown in it's glory cos it's a beautiful presentation of Urban Dark Fantasy. It's also something that speaks in many levels as I bet people will talk about the way the end came through for many years. I could even claim that it's better than last years Dracula miniseries, and the producers will be crown with a few awards for this magnificence.

John Noble was so good on Fringe, as Walter, and he brings some of Walternate's personality to this role, I believe. Both good and evil battle inside him, but good is getting it's butt kicked for now.

Next week does look to be an exciting episode, only bad thing is the season is flying by too fast.

 

[markpud]

I enjoyed this one too! Definite Indiana Jones vibes And I can only echo the John Noble compliments, he was the heart of Fringe and he's excellent here too!

Spoiler

Using Abraham to fight the Gorgon was mighty useful, but there was no good reason for him to leave Ichabod/Abby alive when he was called back by the horn of plot convenience! Finding the sword within the oil was very much Indiana Jones style plotting, but the lead up was fun and seeing Abraham and Ichabod's back story fleshed out before their sword fight adds depth.

The season finale for this season should be interesting.

The guys behind this show are also responsible for the H50 reboot.

I wasn't sure what to think of this show at first, but Crane's utterly indignant reactions to the modern version of Revolutionary history amuse me so much, that I kept watching. Crane just amuses me, so I keep sticking around. =)

Also - I've recently finished a White Collar rewatch (s6 happening now), and I keep thinking that Mozzie would *love* to meet/talk to Crane to 'confirm' so many of his conspiracy theories. *g*

Episode 11 "The Akeda"

Spoiler

Irving fighting War's suit of armor was pretty cool. I'm kind of pissed they killed Irving off though. Hopefully Henry can resurrect him somehow. Great ending.

 

[ctg]

Colour me confused. I don't know what to think. But know this, there's 18 episodes in the Sleepy Hollow's second season.

 

[Highlander II]

Am I the only one who feels that a lot of their 'solutions' are telegraphed? Or have I just watched so much TV that I'm overly cynical?

I mean - the show is fairly enjoyable, but sometimes, the resolution of things is really simple/easy/out of the blue.
