I did like the in-character shout-out to people asking about his clothes: “When the world is about to be destroyed by the Horseman in an apocalypse, all you can do is talk about my wardrobe?”
I like Irving and the actor, but I don’t like what the writers did with his back story – being separated from his wife, daughter in a wheelchair, he feels guilty, blah blah. We were led to believe that something he did was responsible for her accident but he just wasn’t there when it happened. Maybe the writers were trying to make him more complex, but it wasn’t necessary.
I didn’t like the demon killing the cop and dumping the body over the porch railing. Kept expecting Irving to find it, but nope, guy’s just laying there in the bushes, dead. Didn’t like the priest being killed – unnecessary. Didn’t like the salt being disturbed and nobody noticed. Didn’t like the demon saying “time’s up” and we see the sky. “Hey! See that! It’s the sun, dumbass!” Didn’t like the apocalypse guys refusing to lend the lantern. They should have been “Cool! Let’s go!”
I did like the reveal that Jenny kept going to jail to protect Abby.
Long-necked Cho got up and walked out of the morgue and nobody but the Scooby Gang has noticed for weeks. Sleepy Hollow does not account for its dead very well.
Icabod is right on the money on skinny jeans, FWIW.
But also, yeah… what is with the OMG, he wrote a date after he died. As Biggirl pointed out, one can write a future date. Though, of course, that means zombie Washington. Would have been perfect for President’s Day Weekend, but I guess I shall be content with a 2 hour season finale where all the crap hits the fan.
I was making Buffy references all last night as well.
here’s your lantern back. the glowing? oh, just a demon, don’t let it loose…
We just watched it tonight.
I thought you guys said Irving was killed. Damn, I was looking forward to that. 
I re watched the priest get killed twice - that made my neck hurt - Irving missed an opportunity since a “father” was killed.
Irving can’t die. Hes the one writing everything.
I was kinda of meh on this episode. Even though I’m generally mildly pro-gun-control I thought the little 2nd amendment jab was (a) jarring and unnecessary, (b) totally out of character for Ichabod, and © worst of all, totally historically anachronistic. Ichabod supposedly died during the Revolutionary War, circa 1776 or 1777. The 2nd amendment was to the constitution, which was written in 1789.
And the whole plot demanded a whole lot of people acting extremely stupid, particularly with respect to trying to protect Irving’s daughter, including both Irving himself and the demon. (Why not just possess Irving, and then go steal Washington’s bible form two people who will trust you implicitly?)
Still a mostly fun show.
You know, for a second, I thought that maybe Irving’s daughter was going to get up under her own power at the end of the episode. I was thinking that regaining the ability to walk could be a side effect of being supercharged by the demon, or the demon’s method of showing that she was “marked” and he wasn’t done with her yet. But it’s probably a little bit too early in the series to have a character who is paralyzed being restored like that.
He also said the French supported the American revolution in order to prevent their own. It did just the opposite, of course.
He actually supposedly died in 1781 (though it doesn’t matter in terms of his not really being able to know about the 2nd Amendment dates).
According to Orlando Jones (and interviews with other actors, which I have not seen) the last 10 minutes of tonigth’s finale will be Red Wedding shocking. He has instructed fans to set up cameras to catch reactions and then twit it (or whatever you do on twitter) to #redweddinghasnothingonthis or somesuch.
Sooo. . . crazy-assed theories, anyone?
They’ve already done some pretty gory stuff. One thing that would shock me is if our intrepid heroes were somehow zapped back to Ichabod’s time, to fight Evil there.
One cockamamie theory I’ve put out there is that Katrina is not as abolition-y as Icky and has observed all the little “looks” going on between Icky and Abbie (the last one being that ass to face conversation) and she loses her shit. She teams up with her old fiance to get revenge. For the SHOCKING part, in order to make Ichabod angry, she makes out with old Headless’ neck stump.
“Red Wedding shocking” suggests the death of at least one major character…and I don’t think you can kill off Ichabod and still have a show, so I’m betting Jenny dies…
I was thinking Michael McElhatton was going to show up and start stabbing people.
In a strange twist - Johnny Depp shows up as Ichabod’s Son -
