What skin do any of us have? Mine is that I have been a fan of this show since the beginning so I've been paying attention to it. And I really get annoyed in general when people talk about things as fact that they really don't know. I'm at least willing to admit I don't know. But like I said, from what I've observed…

Oh and my understanding is the showrunner has absolutely nothing to do with the DVD. That's a production company that produces the extras. And, as far as I know, this whole controversy that has now become canon is based on one thing only - Nicole's post about it. Which she promptly deleted. At the time, I heard from…

Where do we *know* any of this? I'm totally serious. Sorry, but this whole thing of Goffman being the cause of everything is just… a little too convenient. I personally have not heard that he wanted to write her out of eps. Quite obviously I'm aware that Katrina was more prominent than in S1 - although personally I've…

There are A LOT of assumptions being tossed out here as though they're fact. Obviously I don't really know happened here but neither do any of you guys. What we can do is look at some of what's been said, and go on some observations about the actors. We do know she wanted out - whether it was because of the S2 writing…

This show CANNOT DO BALANCE. No clue why, but they can't. I mean, last season had too much focus on Crane and his connections to everything and now this season is all Abbie All the Time, with Crane literally having no storylines right now besides being a Witness (which is a given for both Abbie & Crane) and now not…

Bahaha! Man, I wish *I* could wake up and find this mess of a reboot was a dream. Why they didn't go with what they had handed to them with that finale, I'll never know. But I suspect it's just bc the Fox executives are idiots and hacks.

Seriously, it's annoying how this fantasy keeps getting spread as reality. I mean, I'm sure Goffman shares blame, certainly for some lame stories, but clearly there was WAY more going on here than the showrunner. And given how disastrous the new Fox execs' Dana and Gary's season has been, it suggests a total lack of…

and it still seems that way two episodes later! Ugh.

A little late replying so we've had the benefit of more episodes but in my view, def she's had better material, not just more material. Because she has a lot of stories where the seeds were planted early in the season and they're now bearing fruit and they have real potential to reveal things about Abbie or change…

Agree except that actually Beharie has gotten the much better material this season. Mison is being done an incredible disservice with Crane this season although he is doing an amazing job with what little material he's being given in these last few eps.

This is exactly right. Getting rid of the Headless Horseman and the whole Horseman of the Apocalypse narrative was such a bad decision. and now with no Headless, no Katrina, the flashbacks reduced to stories about Betsy Ross, it doesn't even make sense that Ichabod Crane is here in the 21st c anymore. Like, if I was…

I agree, the problem with this show has been balance and if S2 was mostly driven by Crane related stories, this year it's all Abbie. Crane has had no meaningful stories. And no, going on a date doesn't count, lovely though Tom Mison was in the scene calling her. I don't know why they had Abbie absent in this - no clue…

I continue to be baffled why they canned the whole Horseman of the Apocalypse thing. It was the central conceit that the rest of the show was built around. And it was such a fun idea.

I was a bit afraid that the career benefit for Tom Mison was dribbling away this season bc of how much they've reduced Crane to a caricature and taken away most of the opportunities for emotional depth, subtlety, range etc he had before. This season works at such a superficial level and they really seemed to think…

Agree with pretty much all of this. S3 is a bit of a hot mess right now. It's a *different* hot mess than s2 but still. I'm openly rooting for this to be the last season so Beharie and Mison can take this bump in their profiles on to projects worthy of their talents.

Really glad to see AV Club's skeptical reviews of this reboot. Feels like a lot of reviews are either just not watching with a critical eye and are just giving it a big thumbs up for NOT being S2 or are genuinely happy, I guess, with this dumbed down Sleepy Hollow. Which is how it seems to me. They just changed so…
