I'm already imagining the great Ichabod lines when Abbie and Hawley hook up. He already thinks of this guy as a conniving nuisance. His blood pressure will hit the roof if he has to hang out with Hawley a lot since he's dating Ichabod's fellow Witness. The writers really have an endless well of comedic gold here.

Is Hawley going to be Abbie's new love interest I've been hearing about? Because I am totally down for this pairing. He's much more attractive and interesting than Morales from the first season. If Ichabbie will never be (hey that rhymes), then "Abbley" is the next best thing.

I am a girl and I would like to keep my nipples, thanks.

Neil Degrasse Waddles, noooo! We still need to know why dudes have nipples!

Yes, I was referring to your last point. Women still lack representation in movies and television, and this show delivers a wide array of diverse women—-strong women, vulnerable women, brown women, Asian women. The kinds of women that we need more of in our screens. I want kids to see that non-white people can be

We are definitely spoiled. Just a month passed after Book 3 and here we are already with the final season. I'm not ready for it to end. If Kuvira is indeed our new villain, then this is even more exciting than the Red Lotus villains. It took four seasons but we finally have a main female baddie (I'm always going to be

I like Soos, and I wouldn't mind more episodes with him in the focus if done sparingly. This episode had a lot of laughs and great lines for me, but there's something about video game antagonists in this show that just don't do it for me. I was so uninterested with Rumble McSkirmish, and even more so with Giffany (but

Did he look awkward? I'll have to re-watch that scene to back you up, but he looked solemn to me, and not awkward. Obviously he and Jenny don't share the connection that he has with Abbie, but the hug was supposed to be a somber "be careful and bring my sister back" kind of hug, not a reunion hug like Ichabod and

In another show, I'd be ticked off whenever they made shit up as they went along. In Sleepy Hollow, it's a great delight. I'm so glad to have Abbie and Ichabod back on my TV screen. As much as I loved all the hugging these two were doing, I got particularly emotional to the point where I felt tears welling in my eyes

I actually adore the fact that Bill's voice is "pedestrian," as you put it. He's a very manipulative villain and I think that having his voice give off such an optimistic next-door-neighbor vibe makes it that much easier to understand why the characters fall for these deals he makes with them. Bill would definitely

Oh, Gravity Falls, how I wish you had a stabler airing schedule. I want great episodes such as this gracing my screen as often as possible, every day preferably. Alex Hirsch is such a talented man. I love his delightfully creepy voicework as Bill, and he delivered Soos's and Stan's lines tonight perfectly. I'm glad

The fact that Korra lost her connection to the past Avatars makes her fight with Zaheer even more incredible. Since she doesn't have Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, etc. anymore, the power of the Avatar State comes solely from Korra. She's always been an incredible bender anyway, so of course pure Avatar State Korra would be

If Ghazan wasn't a wanted criminal associated with a group that tried to assassinate the Avatar, he probably would have been a famous mover star like Bolin. The dude was hilarious. He was my favorite of all the Red Lotus members.

These two episodes were raw as heck. Bryke and co. outdid themselves and Studio Mir is on a whole other transcendental animation level. I'm so proud but also really sad for Korra. This finale was definitely bittersweet compared to the finales of the first two books. Sure, technically, Korra "won" against Zaheer and

That final scene with Tenzin gave me very ominous vibes, but I'm trying to stay positive that the worst isn't coming. I've read and heard about talk on how Book 3 is darker and more emotional than the previous seasons (implying a character's death maybe?). Jeremy Zuckerman (composer of the ATLA and Korra scores)

I agree, props to Bryke and co. from the ATLA days who managed to create characters and a world so rich that years later, we are still affected by the legacies they left behind. In shows and movies, we often wonder what happened next to the characters we've come to know and love. We are lucky enough to catch glimpses

I'm re-watching that final Tenzin scene and I feel the tears coming on again, thanks to J.K. Simmons' brilliant reading of a great line, as well as the underlying emotional weight of the scene. His whole life has always been to restore his father's nation and culture, and he is willing to put his life on the line to

Zaheer and Tenzin's fight was what I was most interested in out of all the fights (though I couldn't stop laughing at how Bumi managed to somehow get so close to Ghazan). That was so exhilarating. I've read some people's comments about how they think Zaheer is already a master airbender based on his knowledge of all

That wasn't the only Simmons moment in the ep that I liked. When the Red Lotus showed up at the Northern Air Temple, Meelo asked what's happening, and the way Tenzin said, "We need to get everyone out of here. Stay close to me." was really good because he knew he was talking to a child so of course he had to remain

I actually teared up when Iroh started talking about Aang and Zuko being best friends. That was an emotional, nostalgic gut-punch. I am still so amazed at the fantastic quality of this season. The fight scenes in this episode were stellar. Aang's children vs. the Red Lotus! I think everyone's in agreement that Tenzin
