I’m still so very upset about Abbie with Laurel I’m like eh but it sucks she died too. Because of Abbie’s death I’m compiling a list of POC deaths that came off wrong. I posted about it over the weekend but now we are a little bit more organized and have a Facebook group so if anyone want to join us let me know
Agreed. I don’t know how they managed to fuck that show up so badly. You really have to try to fail that spectacularly.
At this point I hope to god it fucking doesn’t.
*looks at header image, immediately starts weeping*
Boring, horrible storylines between two actors who did NOT have the right chemistry for a romantic coupling. The way the showrunners fucking refused to acknowledge the huge forest fire that was their lead couple in favor of running around lighting soggy matches just fucking amazes me.
She wanted out because the show has been treating her like crap for two seasons. She is unquestionably the lead character in the show — she, not Ichabod, is the audience anchor and the audience surrogate. And in season one she was the center of the whole damn thing. The moral center, the heart, the brains, the patient…
Well, you’re definitely right about John Noble. They really need a new Emmy category: Most Valient Effort by an Actor in a WTF Plot. Noble would win it hands down.
This is so bizarre! I mean, I thought they got why people tuned in. So many of the fans, myself included, rave about how diverse the show was and so many people complained and joked about the addition of that relic hunter white guy and bumping Ichabod’s wife up to lead. Fans made it explicit the shoehorning in of…
Mekki, I’m gonna treat this like you’re asking a real question and not just going on another thread about Black women to derail the conversation:
I’m both really mad about several decisions made this season by shows I once loved and also a bit relieved because they are working hard to free up HOURS of my time.
You’re right. If your boss is being mean to you, bullying you by not inviting you to company parties or important events, scheduling meetings when he knows you cannot attend... and then after 3 years of abuse you quit... one could certainly say “well you wanted to leave!” and completely ignore the fact that you wanted…
Regardless of why Nicole left, the writing of her exit is the disservice to the character. She was always Ichabod’s equal as one of Two Witnesses as played by Mison and Beharie. This was never changed until the retcon in the season finale. Sure they had separate stupid storylines in s2 but their role as the TWO…
I was so impressed with Sleepy Hollow’s diversity that first season. A woman of color as the lead is a big deal. Plus the show had Orlando Jones as the captain. I quit watching when they killed him off, but I never thought they’d kill Abbie.
Aw, shit. That makes me sad. No disrespect to the actress — there wasn’t much of her to go by in the first S1 — but from what I saw of Katrina there was very little about that character (beyond the ability of her story to provide flashback potential) that was very interesting. Witches aren’t super fresh. Witches who…
Even this old white lady knew Abbie was the lead character. Why couldn’t the writers figure this out?
They did. The folks that ran the first season all left to go do Skorpion over at CBS. Makes me wonder what FOX was doing to make them all leave like that. Then the season 2 showrunner declares Katrina to be his favorite character so it’s all about her and the Crane family drama, pushing Abbie to the side. They killed…
This pisses me off so much! The main reason I kept watching the show until early season 3 (though i planned to catch up on it) was for those five minutes at the beginning of every episode where it was just Abbie and Ichabod joking around, etc. Their chemistry was so great, but throughout the series the show would try…
