The first season of Sleepy Hollow went out with a bang, so now it’s time to think about next season.  Here are some thoughts, musings, and hopes for Season 2. Warning: SPOILERS for the finale. Abbie in purgatory:  The creators recently confirmed that Abbie is indeed stuck in Purgatory and that she’ll need to get out or have someone help her get …

This recap is late because my local FOX affiliate bumped the listing up an hour so they could show local news at 9:00 p.m. instead of 10:00 p.m.  St. Louis’s CW affiliate does the opposite, airing news at 7:00 p.m.  Local affiliates are weird. We start this episode not in the woods, a dream, or Corbin’s cabin, but in Abbie’s …

On the eve of the mind-blowing finale, Sleepy Hollow star Nicole Beharie spoke to reporters about the show’s journey to the finale and its consequences as the show moves forward as well as her mindset about playing Abbie and Abbie’s relationship with her sister, Jenny. Q: What have been your biggest challenges as an actress (on the show)? Nicole Beharie:  Man, it …

FINALE TIME! This half of the two-parter begins with Irving walking slowly to be arrested for Jones’ and the priest’s respective murders, and that’s the last we see of Irving this season.  Ta-ta for now, Irving!  You shall be missed! Meanwhile, Ichabod sits in Corbin’s cabin and meditates on Katrina.  This leads him to draw a map that he and …

Tonight, we begin in Corbin’s cabin with Ichabod IN MODERN CLOTHING!!!  Yes, the moment fans have waited and whined for comes to pass…only for Ichabod to give up and go back to his old clothing after about thirty seconds of Abbie’s skinny jeans nonsense.  That’s too bad because Tom Mison wears tight pants like a boss. While Ichabod frets over his clothes, Abbie …

We start tonight’s episode with…Ichabod splitting wood.  Abbie asks if he’s chopping a Christmas tree and he goes on about how Christmas trees are pointless and details the history of eggnog.  Abbie over explains Ichabod’s emotional state, reminding us that this is a network show, and Ichabod launches into a speech about how he wonders about his son and wants …

This week’s episode begins with an attractive, presumably well-monied woman pulls up to an abandoned colonial home owned by her ancestors.  We eventually learn that this woman is named Lena Gilbert.  She and her bodyguard, Sam, go explore the house.  Sam doesn’t like entering a haunted house, but Lena brushes off his concerns.  Her bodyguard’s fears turn out to be correct when …

We commence with Ichabod and Abbie standing in front of Headless Hal (or Death), who is chained to the center of the Jefferson-designed Masonic cell.  They’re satisfied with their super-duper amazing progress on the Horseman front, so Abbie teaches Ichabod the fist bump.  He thinks it makes no sense, but he rolls with it. Irving stands in the cell’s observation …

Huzzah!  Yet another episode that begins with a wooded chase scene!  Our friend Headless Hal the Horseman (a.k.a. Death) pursues Paul Revere and friends through the a forest until the camera zooms into Revere’s eye and out of Ichabod’s. Ichabod stands in Corbin’s cabin, marveling at the amount of “reserves” that Abbie has amassed from some generic fictional spin-off of Sam’s …

This week’s episode opens with Ichabod and Abbie watching a Little League baseball game.  The Mini-Red Sox are beating the noble Mini-Cardinals while Abbie talks about how anyone can play baseball, so it’s an expression of the spirit of democracy.  Then Ichabod stands up and yells at the umpire, even though Abbie says that a call hasn’t been made yet.  …
