This episode was like they were skeet shooting tropes.
PULL!
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
and all the methods of trying to destroy the skull were amusing.
And, not to try and get too scientifically credible with this, 'cause Sleepy Hollow, but I was able to hand wave the lack of tarnish on the skull's silver teeth with the idea that the acid bath probably polished them up pretty well. Not that I would have chosen shiny silver teeth in a two-century old skull as my breaking point on this show without it. Still, it's easier on my wrists not to have to wave too hard.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I enjoyed the (corrected?) Paul Revere quietly telling people "the regulars are coming" and then the not-yet-headless horseman coming after the group.
And wouldn't the acid have removed the information from the silver teeth? (handwave, handwave)

Ending the voicemail with, "I am, most respectfully, Ichabod Crane."! How could he get any more adorable? Answer: not possible - there is no more adorable he could be.
Destroying the skulls was awesome. And sort of on that note - I've found myself being impressed with the Horseman's acting skills. I mean, it's one thing to express yourself without using speech, but this guy was doing some pretty darned impressive emoting without even a face.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Ending the voicemail with, "I am, most respectfully, Ichabod Crane."!
DEAD from cute. Just dead.

When the captain said "Ritual cult suicide," someone should have said "They cut off their own heads??"
