and the new show cavalcade begins
Who else is watching Sleepy Hollow? I almost missed it. I was checking my email yesterday and there was the ad for it from monday sitting in my inbox (yeah, I look through my junk mail, but only if it involves tv shows or movies) Thankfully it's on the on demand channel, otherwise I'd have to wait til friday (i think it is) for the repeat of the pilot.
Anyway, I was happily impressed. Yes, there are plot holes (a couple gaping ones in relation to the main characters acceptance of their fates, but whatever *hand waves*) but it's a fantasy drama so suspension of disbelief is a given.
Spoilers, I'm sure
Ichabod is too cute for words! And Abbie's not bad herself. It almost feels like Supernatural or Buffy, but I suppose those are comparisons that you can't help but make since they are the groundbreaking shows in the genre (at least as far as I'm concerned) Making the Headless Horseman the Death of the Four Horsemen is an interesting choice. I feel it gives the show an end point. Beat them and the show is over. But, the new england area is so riff with superstition and legends dating back so far I don't know if they'll ever run out of material. A couple of seasons to wrap up the Horseman storyline and then there can be another big bad. They did show a map of most of the east coast and made the plot point that the covens had spread far and wide. Maybe we can get the Jersey Devil or Mothmen. (X-Files, they're forever on my mind :D)
Oh! and the snark! Give me snappy dialog with an accent and I'm a goner. There is one thing I'm very confused about and maybe I missed something. Abbie was a deputy riding with the sheriff. Okay, who the hell is this other guy that seems to be in charge in the police station? Is that the sheriff's office even? A town police station? Are new england police divisions set up and manned that differently from what I know? Cos where I'm from the sheriff is the head guy, and there's only one of them, then come deputies and there's lots of them. If it's a department with sheriff's and deputies there are no detectives. Those only happen in offices with captains and lieutenants and are called police, not sheriffs. Tho, Abbie is referred to as both deputy and lieutenant. So, wth?
In the spirit of what the hell, here, watch this. I don't even know.
