SLEEPY HOLLOW, new Fox series — Page 4

Love this show and couldn't be happier they have a full season as well as a second season pick up.

And as for an earlier comment about Crane changing clothes, you do realize that, historically, people only had one set of clothes, and maybe another one for church on Sunday? Crane was a soldier and may have carried with him a change of small clothes and a shirt, but worn everything else until it needed to be replaced. Although I think they want to keep him looking era appropriate so that he will stand out, I think tight dark jeans and no shirt sounds like an excellent next step.

Speaking of clothes, I wonder what Ichabod's initial reaction was when Abbie was just wearing her bra for that ritual

Tonight at 9pm!

I really enjoy this show. Each episode is better than the previous one. They're tapping a rich load of horror and mythology and the combination works, due in part to the chemistry of the two leads.

I liked last nights episode a lot too, though some of that German was atrocious; I thought Crane had the best German of any of them!

I think the success of the show really belongs to Beharie, even taking into account the remarkable chemistry between the two leads. Mison has the easier role. He plays a fish out of water who gets to say silly things in his British accent. He does it well, but Beharie has a more difficult task. Like Gillian Anderson on the X-Files she must believe enough to continue on her journey, but must also retain enough skepticism to maintain credibility. She has to be tough, yet likable. Vulnerable to her sister's plight, but not weak. All while stopping the apocalypse. Another actress could have easily tanked the role and show, but she is great TV find so far this season.

Ugh. The Blacklist was so bad last night. It's really taken a nose dive since the pilot, whereas Sleepy Hollow keeps trucking along.

Hostages is now my favorite Monday comedy though- the funniest show to premiere on network television in years!

whizzer - I assumed the Hessians were speaking 17th or 18th Century German - in other words, an archaic form. Elizabethan English when spoken doesn't sound like modern English either.

lol. Maybe that's really why they needed the subtitles?

More touches of history tonight: Roanoke and Virginia Dare! It looks like they are on hiatus for the next three weeks but John Noble shows up in the next episode!

Three weeks off sucks!!!!

Last night really reminded me of Supernatural, but I liked it a lot. (On Supernatural the Horseman of Pestilence is played semi-comically by an old man who is always taking cold medicine, sneezing and dripping snot everywhere.)

I hope the flesh out Orlando Jones' character soon. He is totally the Skinner of this show. Sometimes helping, sometimes thwarting. Suspicious, yet willing to aid his dynamic duo when they are desperate for his assistance.

My thoughts exactly, Nemo. When they said three weeks I was thinking, oh god, I'm not even going to remember what night this show even on in November.

They'll promote the hell out of it during the baseball, and across all of their shows that air during this time. That will help.
