Sleepy Hollow is a hoot and a half, but the relationship between Ichabod and Abby is just the best thing.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

A super tragic thing happened in my world today (mentioned in Bitches) and, instead of binge eating, I think I'm going to splurge on hulu plus so I can watch Sleepy Hollow.
That makes sense, right?

I think it will be good therapy, indeed.

I recognized Busfield immediately by his voice. Also, the director of this episode was another thirtysomething alum. I wonder if it's fun for them to work together after all this time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Colin auditioned for Ichabod. He claims to have told them it would be easier with an Brit.
So there you have it.

I know I've only seen the one episode of Sleepy Hollow, but the relationship between Ichabod and Abbie reminded me of the relationship between Sherlock and Joan in Elementary.
I feel very X-filesy about the whole thing. Down to a Mulder/Scully vibe between Abby/Ichabod.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
There was also a gem (in S1) where he was talking to some woman and in the loveliest, poetic language, was giving her romantic advice. I think.
Toddson, I believe that is the bit with Yolanda.
In my mind, Ichabod and Abbie have a different spark in their chemistry than Sherlock and Joan. There feels like more potential sexual chemistry between them, it's just that between Crane having a wife and the world being about to end there is a big barrier to it - a barrier that they both have too much integrity to entertain crossing. In my mind, take Katrina truly out of the picture, and when this apocalypse thing is over Ichabod finds himself a medium so he can ask Sheriff Corbin for permission to court Abbie. With Katrina back in the picture... well, there's room for an OT3 here.
No matter how skillful Colin's performance, I would have a hard time with cognitive dissonance with him as Crane. And Mison is so, so perfect. So yes, thank you, Colin.

I would definitely like to see some interaction between Abbie and Katrina. They could be great friends. Especially if the writers avoid the cliche jealousy reaction. This is why I prefer thriller type stories, there's enough going on to avoid using soap opera shtick for plot complications.
