Pretty mindless reflections on mindless TV. (Though from now on I'll probably be behind on everything, since mostly I'm watching time shifted. I still don't know when I'll get to watch all my shows!
( Vampire Diaries )

I can handwave cheesy supernatural plots for the excellent character relationship stuff
Me too! I never liked any previous incarnation of Ichabod because the narratives were so cruel to him so am delighted he gets to be funny, sexy & smart here. And I love the growing rapport with Abby.

Dear Dean: YOU ARE THE BIGGEST CODEPENDENT IDIOT WHO EVER LIVED. OMG, you have basically sold Sam to an angel because you can't let go of him.
I don't know if this is what they intended, but to me it almost seemed like Death would be a relief to Sam, to get out from under the suffocating weight of Dean's love & expectation. It fits with Sam trying to live a normal life last year. Would be an interesting arc but perhaps darker than SPN wants to go.

I don't have any experience with Sleepy Hollow characters prior to this, but I am definitely enjoying this Ichabod.

Yeah, I agree with your reading of Sam. Not that he actually wants to die, but he's wanted a normal life for so long, and that's never going to be possible--and Dean really, really, really needs to be able to live for himself rather than for Sam. (And vice versa).
