Sleepy Hollow: "Sanctuary"

[retsuko]

I didn't liveblog the episode last night because I wanted to give it my full attention, and this was definitely a good idea. I was just horrifically disappointed at all the commercials. I think the show as a whole would have been better and spookier if Black Friday hadn't reared its ugly head every seven minutes. :(

I liked the fact that each person in the house had a connection with it (well, aside from the hapless bodyguard). And it makes sense that Crane might not have known that Katrina was expecting -- he was off on spy missions and out fighting a war. How many people do we know that have gotten their wife pregnant on some leave and don't have the opportunity to see the child for a good chunk of time while they are deployed? It would make sense that a pregnant Katrina would *not* be on the front lines as well. I personally think that Katrina escaped with the baby, but I'm not going to have any thought on what happened to the son yet.

And yeah, I was having issues at the beginning, wondering if they were still married (but separated) or if they were divorced and arguing the custody issue (Irving and his wife). I'm still not sure. You can have a custody arrangement if you are separated, though usually the courts don't always get involved. The idea that she was going to file paperwork though kind of made me feel like they were divorced and they would be reopening the case.

Oh, man, that poor bodyguard. All he got was a few lines, and then death by something, and then no one thought of him ever again. Poor guy. :(

Yeah, the court stuff seemed a bit weird. Yebisu wondered aloud where she got off threatening a cop in his own office, and I'm inclined to agree. Unless Ladybird's theory (above) is correct, and Irving was directly responsible for Macy's disability, and then I guess I could see him rolling over for whatever the ex-wife wanted, as a way of penance or something. I dunno. Honestly, the legal mumbo jumbo was too melodramatic for me.
