Lush Life is great. Goldblum in anything is generally amazing.

I agree that this was a disappointing end to a disappointing season, but the solution is not to go all-out dark. What was missing this season (aside from coherent storytelling) were the character building and bright moments we got from the leads when the focus shifted away from the fighting.
What this franchise needs is more Jeff Goldblum.
Season 1 had its issues —notably, the Coyote and Mallory characters were awful—but I liked it more as it went on. Tomlin is terrific. Fonda's not quite as great, but she's still a pleasure to watch.
Im having trouble figuring out the reason for all the complaining about this review. I loved the episode, but it did have flaws.
Why couldn't the tracking demon just have followed Dean and Crowley? They took the car, for Pete's sake, it couldn't have been that hard.
Yes, as No One said, Sherlock was painting the Dollhouse of Death as a training project for Joan. I think it was meant to be more amusing than menacing. But maybe I'm the only one who finds his tiny, blood-soaked crimes scenes funny.
He was hugely on edge throughout the case. (That coffee cup he threw on the ground was a real tell—it still had coffee in it!) I think there's something about this type of case that sets him off; if I'm remembering correctly, this isn't the first time. Now I'm wondering if there's a reason for it that we'll find out…
I think the fact that Crane immediately believed Abbie when she told him about the baby even though Katrina hadn't bothered to mention it may be an indication that the writers are on board with the Abbie-Ichabod partnership being the most important in the show (if not in Crane's heart).
I love Mycroft, yet I was unreasonably delighted that he turned out to be up to something. It doesn't necessarily make him evil or even untrustworthy, but it does make him a lot more interesting.
So true. The arsenic line hauled me up short—really? On the other hand, Abbie's expression during that scene with the straw was priceless.
Far and away my favorite line of the episode, probably because it reminded me of more than one former boss.
This felt like one of those all-too-common episodes with a lot of potential that got wasted in the execution. The MOTW should have been awesome, but he was just dull—so much exposition! Most of the jokes were way too obvious. (The poodle with the pink bows? Really? If you're going to go the bestiality route, at least…
Yeah, I know that grades don't matter. I simply meant that since the reviewer's chief complaint was that the ending didn't make sense—which I thought it did—that the review should have been a little more positive. You're right, though, it was a poor way of stating it.
I think what he said was that if Ichabod lived he could stop Headless AND the other three horsemen—the implication being that if he died there would be no one to stop the other three. Now I'll have to rewatch to make sure.
I thought the rationale at the end was on of the episode's strengths. I was actually looking for it with a critical eye, having been burned too many times by shows that give completely nonsensical and out-of-character reasons for people's actions (I'm looking at you, Supernatural) and of course knowing that Ichabod…
