I finally finished it and it was AWESOME. I loves me some Nicole Beharie (it always bears repeating) if you're new to this insanely talented Lady -- might I recommend watching, American Violet (based on a true story) which she stars opposite Alfre Woodward. Shame (critically acclaimed, but I have yet to see it; maybe because I hate the story idea but I will watch one day), she was just in 42 as Jackie Robinson's widow Rachel Robinson.

I was cracking up so hard at Ichabod in the car and then him rolling the window up and down and then Abbie putting the locks on because she was annoyed and his I'm alright wave after the cops shot at him. When he asks her about emancipation and she's all Okay, I'll play along and how he gets offended .... I love their rapport. WTF was that ending?! I also loved the way Ichabod looked at Abbie when she said she was staying... so cute!

Finally found the castings -- Nicholas Gonzales (<3 him!) is joining the cast as Abbie's ex. http://www.deadline.com/2013/08/sleepy-hollow-we-are-men-tomorrow-people-orange-add-recurring

And Lyndie G. was cast as Abbie's sister... http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/lyndie-greenwood-will-play-nicole-beharies-sister-in-foxs-sleepy-hollow-serial

Great ratings. I hope that they hold up because the show is pretty good and previews look like it is only going to get better.

One line that cracked me up with the cops confronted the Horseman and one of them asked if he could hear them because he had no head. LOL!

It was another thread a while ago.

I basically agree with (according to Metacritic anyway) most of the critics. It's not brilliant, and even for a pilot the show had a ridiculous amount f exposition and things thrown in (not to mention how quickly Ichabod seemed to get used to things like, well, cars.) But it was fun. One thing is the show doesn't seem to take itself to seriously, unlike many similar shows--it kinda knows how ridiculous it is and just assumes you'll go along for the ride. I like the actors and filming (and it did throw me off to kill off two recognizable actors) though I wish it was just a bit scarier. Unless it falls apart, I'll stick with it.

I finally got around to watching this. I liked it. I always like to wait three eps before making a judgment but so far SH reminds me of Grimm, which I have to admit took me a while to get into.

I've been a fan of Beharie since seeing her in Shame and the actor playing Ichabod Crane, in addition to being quite pretty, seems to have some decent acting chops. I'll be interested to see where the show goes. Hopefully it won't turn into the epic clusterfuck that The Following became. I can't go through that again.

Yep, I am posting live. smile.png Okay, you know they are not going to kill a little kid. At least, I don't think that they will. I expect Abby and Ichabod to show up just in time to save the kid.

I liked how Abby and Ichabod were slying finding other about each's exes. I still think that they have great chemistry.

I am glad because I was worried there for a minute... EVERYTHING IS GAME ANN, EVERYTHING!

I am in tears over Ichabod and interracial relations and betrothals. I am just loving Tom.

LMAO at Abbie's accent and then Ichabod getting the last say with that wasn't accurate. I am just loving this show.

John Cho's character just looks ew. The neck and dull, lifeless, grey color.

Clancy Brown! Does this mean that we will be seeing him regularly? I hope so.

John Cho's neck is not attractive and it freaks me out.

So Katrina is not dead.

I did chuckle at the one bullet comment and Ichabod's reaction when the gun powder did not go off at first.

Soooooooo we're to believe Katrina never died? I'm still confused by this. So she's just been chillin' in the world between worlds waiting for ish to pop off and her husband to rise with the headless horseman and for him to go about freeing her?

I'm not here for Katrina thus far but I do like seeing her in flashbacks.

    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
