The BONES/SLEEPY HOLLOW crossover is like a great episode of THE X-FILES, where the BONES hour is the Scully, logic-based perspective and the SLEEPY HOLLOW hour is more Fox Mulder-esqueI actually laughed out loud when I read this. The idea of ANY Bones episode these days bearing any resemblance whatsoever to a "great" episode of XF is absurd
( ... )
And while I wouldn't object to a Bones-like show including those elements...that is not the show Bones has been for 10 years...nor is that the world they live in.
Totally agree. Eloquently put.
I LOVED this show so much, but I fell out of watching several seasons ago, and given where it was going, I've never quite been able to pick it up again and catch up, though I sometimes consider doing so. The idea of a Bones/Sleepy Hollow crossover kinda makes me want to laugh until I cry.
Yep. That worked because it was a hallucination. I was leery of that, but ultimately all right with it.
However.
A friend of mine interviewed the new showrunner and he explained that it's All Fine because, although the 2 shows will crossover, Ichabod and Abbie believe in forensics, so it's fine for them, and Booth and Brennan will never see/interact with anything supernatural, so it's all fine.
See above re: CHANGES EVERYTHING.
The fact that the new guy doesn't see that they're changing the very fabric of the reality in which B&B's lives exist????...that does not bode well.
I think everyone who retreated when they saw the sharks circling a few years ago were wise. I just kept hoping that they would have a bumpy, maybe even emergency landing, but that we wouldn't end up in the territory of "And if by chance we crash/We'll say it's what we always planned./We can take you flying/We just don't know how to land."

I guess I knew the risks when I signed on...

I loves 'Sleepy Hollow'. I do. But it doesn't belong with 'Bones'. Really doesn't.
I think I just saw a shark swim by.....

But I've been hoping that the leak in the boat was enough that not everyone would end up in the water.
HOWEVER.
