Oh, gotcha, you’re saying that she did quiz him, he passed, and the issue was closed from her perspective.
Which makes sense, although it does of course make one wonder how it was that she became familiar with 1770s-era military deployments. I suppose that could just been part of what she picked up while helping the Sheriff chase supernatural mysteries.
I just heard that the show will be doing repeats until baseball is finished. 
Four-five weeks. Dammit.
i can’t figure why tonight is not a new show. world series starts on wends. bones is a new show and THE wedding! so it can’t be that they don’t want to show “special episodes”.
They’re probably just behind on production, and so want to save episodes for a solid run later.
Oh good. I didn’t miss a new episode by tuning in at the wrong time. This was the first time since the premiere that I was going to watch it at its regular time slot and not on demand.
I do have my hair done up Sleepy Hollow style today, though.
this is one of those things that baffle me. how do people not know about lef/lou tennant pronounciation thingy?

personally i go with lef over lou.
I think I’ve heard him say both.
I wondered how many people caught that. Considering how many think that Shakespeare isn’t written in modern English, I’m betting not many of us.
Well, I thought last night’s episode was a HUGE disappointment.
Much more than the previous episodes, I just felt like I was watching a TV show go through the motions… coming up with some bits of story it wanted to tell, and then just manufacturing justifications why those situations should come up, regardless of how blatantly illogical those justifications are…
-“every culture has tales of a sin eater”. What? They do? If you’re going to claim that something is deep in the shared human experience like that, ie hurts you if it’s something that we’ve never heard of which makes no sense
-the visiting-on-death-row but no one knew what name he was using and the death row people didn’t notice that it was the same as previously executed convicts and then he kept using the most recent name and used it for his dwelling made ZERO sense
-oh, we want to see the two sisters in action together again, so of course she happens to know all about sin eaters and the captain can get her a 24-hour release from an insane asylum, why not
-so the horseman, who is not just a spooky guy, but DEATH HIMSELF, is somehow linked to Ichabod, so that if Ichabod dies, he’ll die? But wasn’t the horseman trying to kill Ichabod several episodes ago? And if that IS true then it’s hard not to think that the freemasons were doing the right thing. Oh, and how did the sisters find the freemason place? Just wandering around tunnels randomly hoping for the best?
But it had John Noble!
Brian
I was disappointed that they didn’t move forward with getting some modern clothes for him. the stench of those is starting to leak through the telly!
At the cemetery where his wife is buried, there is a cross tombstone with a magen David on it. What the hell?
The grass around his wife’s grave sure grew back fast, didn’t it?
Might have something to so with Jewish symbols on crosses. 
I’ve heard of sin eaters, and I’m pretty sure Twilight Zone had a sin eater episode. John Boy Walton was the sin eater, IIRC. I wasn’t surprised that Abby hadn’t heard of them, but Jenny knew, so I was okay with that. I don’t know that “every culture” has them though. I thought it was an Appalachian thing.
Yeah, that’d make sense only if the convicts were from different prisons, in different states. Wasn’t that the case? I don’t remember.
What’s stupid about that is that Jenny is still in the asylum. Why?
I don’t remember if the horseman/Death has tried to kill Crane since Crane was revived.
They were, and Crane and Abby knew it, but the sin eater found another way. Since Death isn’t the only threat, best to keep Crane alive and put Death on the back burner. ??
Can we assume there aren’t that many tunnels?
What I didn’t get was how the sin eater found them so quickly. I rewound thinking I’d missed the scene where he was searching for them.
I’m giving the writers credit for at least trying to make a sensible mythology. Not sure how well they’re succeeding, because if I like a show, I don’t look too closely at the details.
I believe that it is European in origin.
I think a sin eater figured in a Silver John Appalachian story by Manly Wade Wellman.
Though Abbie said she would get her out, I seem to recall someone saying the process would take weeks.
His clothes really bother me. It’s just stupid that he hasn’t gotten any new ones.
Also, his “sin” was a really big, fat cheat. I understand that the writers want to keep him sympathetic and heroic but his greatest sin is that he can’t forgive himself? Really?
I must remember “basketface” the next time I’m yelling at an ump.
