The point that they aren't trying to be "legit"? I think it makes it pretty well.

Giardia is more likely, but would provide a much less romantic tableau for Ichabod's recovery.

I'll watch it for Mison and the occasional Ichabbie moment that doesn't feel forced and "quippy" but the rest of it just leaves me cold. What a colossal bummer.

Can't they get those writers back? I'm sure they'd love to bring those characters back to life.

I think they dispensed with any attempt to keep the show grounded in a recognizable reality as soon as they had the Roanoke colony speaking Middle English, 150 years after the language disappeared. It wasn't supposed to be "legit" — it was supposed to be a vehicle for Tom Mison to show off how well he can roll those…

More legit or less legit than a character from an American Romanticism novella that is actually a real person who was buried for 250 years and came to life again along with some Hessian (who wore red instead of, well, Hessian blue) who is missing a head?

They would stay there until they were medically stable enough to be discharged, then they would be sent home.

S1 was nothing BUT a serialized story arc, and it worked beautifully. The story arc that dragged S2 into the muck was the Crane Marriage Counseling Show that we were forced to endure every week.

I screamed out loud at that mirror thing. That was a hell of an effect.

Tom Mison clean-shaven looks about 14.

"Oh… there will come a day."

I agree, there's no soul to the storytelling, for lack of a better term. S1 was deeply rooted in the history and geography of the town, and the personal stories of the residents, which brought a huge element of personality and character investment. This season has the "crazy" but doesn't the same emotional…

Believe me, I'm putting together, editing, and polishing writing samples as fast as I can, I don't know that they want a middle-aged woman who is unwilling to work for next to nothing though. I think the time in my life where I would have been happy to sleep on a pile of my own clothes in an apartment I share with…

Oh I have another sight-gag up my sleeve — Captain Poldark. I'd have him be a "real life" person as well, introduced as Crane, Abbie, & Jenny are watching Masterpiece Theater, and Abbie & Jenny clink glasses every time Aidan Turner takes his shirt off. Crane would go on some rant about the "real" Capt. Poldark that…

I love the bizarre running gag of him thinking Franklin is an insufferable, boorish know-it-all. The "air bath" scene had me almost peeing myself.

Explaining the gimmick doesn't make it less gimmicky.

MORGAN AND WONG! I got a little thrill just now. I'm super exited already.

The thought of it breaks my heart. It Sleepy Hollow will officially move into "gimmick comedy" once that airs. They should have held on for The X-Files return, at least if they're going to play it for laughs do it the X-Files way. Their "funny" episodes were some of the best television writing around.

I don't understand the constant need to fuck with a good thing. S1 was MAGIC. Why would they constantly try to change up something that worked so incredibly well?

And also, corsets were not worn against the skin, that wold have chafed like hell. There was a very thin garment worn *under* the corset, with the outer garment then worn over it.
