Sleepy Hollow - Fringe creators' new TV series

OK the biggest problem I had here was the writer's decision that we "must" blow up the underground bunker because of the Reavers. How many of them was there? A few more guns and they could have been cleaned up?! but this was done for dramatic reasons so I suppose I have to let it lie. Jefferson was interesting, but 17th century holo-projectors are a push even for this show!!

Meanwhile, evil Captain Irving is trying to battle his evil-ness and losing the battle. Good scenes between him and Jenny....

Henry's visit to Katrina was an excellent scene. Can't wait for more of him in the final episodes.

Oh and the opening scene on the warship was cool too! We need more of Crane in modern settings - I would love to see him experience Manhattan...
 
I nearly choked on my drink in the first 5 minutes b/c 'oh hai evil seal in the underground-y places. Remind you of something @markpud?

Then, *eyebrow* b/c uber!vamps - only not-ish, but totally are. And I was all 'Um, Buffy already closed that, dood.'

Followed by 'oh hell no*' with the holo-projector, b/c are you *kidding* me right now?

I can suspend my disbelief for this show a long way, but some of these things are bordering on the absolute ridiculous. The holo-projector bit almost completely lost me.

Loved Sharif Atkins showing up - tho I almost didn't recognize him. Wrong clothes, different facial hair... but the voice was clanging around and I knew that I knew him from somewhere. Good ole Jones (White Collar). =)

I had a hard time with this episode - Sharif aside - b/c of the strong 'Buffy' mimc going on. (Holo-Jefferson notwithstanding.)


* stronger expletives were used here, obviously
 
Haha yes, a lot of Buffy vibes going on here. But I think this show has a pretty good Buffy vibe anyway with the demons and witches.. No actual vampires as yet but I reckon they're steering clear due to saturation..
 
Episode 17 "Awakening"
The scene with Ichabod in the hardware store was kind of funny. It kind of sucks that their allies keep turning on them though. Nice throw back to the Medusa head from earlier in the season. Great ending!

I wonder If the show gets a third season ?
 
Episode 18 "Tempus Fugit"
Timothy Busfield was funny as Ben Franklin and watching him get decapitated was crazy. Ichabod's selfie video was kind of funny. I like that Abbie was able to free herself. Tragic that Ichabod was the one to finally kill Katrina.

I hope so
 
I would have preferred that they stretch out the colonial era story over a few more episodes, there was lots of potential there and it was all wrapped up and Katrina killed off! Fun to see Crane reacting to the phone, swiping it across the table was classic! I wonder if time-travel will occur again now it's been established?

Not that season 3 is certain, but this show has lots of potential despite some side-tracks this season (Hawley). One of several shows wrapping up recently that I hope gets renewed..

I wonder if they tied up things in 'case' they don't get renewed? That seems a little defeatist, but cliffhangers can be kind of boring too.

I find myself wondering just where the show is trying to go in general. It's kind of all over the place w/ plots and such. So, I guess we'll see what happens in the fall.
 
Showrunner Mark Goffman has left the show ahead of it potentially being renewed for a third season. A search is currently under way for a replacement.
 
Yeah - Fox isn't known for being kind to it's programming.

And I'd seen that Goffman had left the show. Guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
 
As much as I really enjoy this show, my reason for it might offend some. I find it so very implausible that I laugh myself right out of my chair. Same thing with The Walking Dead, Falling Skies, & perhaps a few others. :ROFLMAO: I was a Pentecostal for 20 years, & read the Bible nearly that many times. As such, I am familiar with Molech, the 4 Horsemen, etc., & this series' remaking them as demoniac beings and such :D:p I find hilarious. I hate to be a nerd about it, but I did read The Legend of SH last fall, & Crane is depicted as a Barney Fife-type loser whose knees knock every time he goes down a certain road where the HH was rumored to have appeared.
The HH is nothing more than a folkloric character that those inclined to fearing their own shadows worry about. So, anyway, Crane is competing with the town tough guy for the love of the richest guy in town's daughter, & the tough guy plays a prank on him while he is on nhis way home from the rich guy's party, going through the creepy, foggy area where the HH was rumored to have appeared. He flung a jack-o-lantern at Crane, who :poop:ed his pants and, as I recall, relocated elsewhere.

Molech is an idol to which people sacrificed their children, now he is a supernatural being. The 4 Horsemen are, as I recall, God's henchmen. But the hilarity keeps coming!

I do enjoy the story itself, but bust out laughing whenever the HH or similar baddie appears! Please forgive my impiety.
 
I don't know that anyone is watching SH for the 'historical accuracy', considering that jumps ship about 10 minutes into the first episode. *g*

As for Crane - it's unlikely anyone would watch an unattractive, bumbling fraidy cat who jumps if a leaf flutters by. So, they change up the character a bit and ask for the suspension of disbelief... though, maybe a little more than most. =)
 
I do realize that, but still, I cannot help laugh at the sheer silliness of it. I think this started when I watched the action film, XXX, which, as I recall, outdid every previous action film in every way possible. Everything was outrageously overdone & unbelievable, from car chase scenes to the fight scenes. :D Ever since then, I have been laughing at implausible things.

Good news, Sleepy Hollow fans: season three, with a new showrunner and production location, has just been confirmed by Fox…

After an interesting second season - which saw a shift towards episodic storytelling rather than serialised - Sleepy Hollow has now been picked up for a third season by Fox.

Although showrunner Mark Goffman has departed the show (he took a deal at CBS), fans will surely still be excited to see it continue. The Glades’ Clifton Campbell has been handed the task of steering the next batch of episodes.

Sleepy Hollow joins a Fox 2015-16 slate that is already getting rather full – Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Family Guy, The Simpsons, Empire and Gotham have all already been confirmed for further episodes, too.

There hasn’t been an announcement to state otherwise, so at the moment we would expect the 18-episode format of season 2 to remain intact. We would expect all the core cast to return, too.

We do know, however, that the show will move from North Carolina to Atlanta in an attempt to cut production costs. This is rumoured to be a reaction to the season 2 ratings dip, and it’s certainly a better solution than cancelling the show in our opinion.

There isn’t much more to report at the moment, but we’ll let you know as we hear more. You can read more about Sleepy Hollow on Den Of Geek by clicking this link here.

I agree, Baylor; though I had not been aware its ratings had been slipping!
