Interesting characters, pleasantly crafted problem, only moderately intrusive flashbacks. And it looks like the potential romance between our hero and the lovely female detective is being foiled by good reasons. I'm unclear on the relationship between Henry and Abe. Is Abe his son?

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.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Cool. I think this is a good reason to stay in my chair after Agents is over.

Back to "Sleepy Hollow" for a moment. In terms of Irving signing the paper,a and whether it counts. There ill-intentioned magical traditions where to cast a harmful spell requires the victim's consent, but that consent is defined very loosely. For example, say a practioner of such a path wants to cast a leprosy spell on Herbert. The evil witch can walk up and say "Is your name Herbert?" and when Herbert unsuspectingly says "yes" , Herbert has just consented to the leprosy spell.
So if the contract is for Irving's soul, then it is hard to fanwank. But for anything short of that, within certain magical traditions, Irving has just opened himself up to all sorts of really bad shit.

The question of why Abe has a New Yawk accent and his father still has an English accent is probably not going to be explained ever.

Depending on where his medical degree is from, he may be maintaining it for his cover.

Although I don't think they're father and son to other people ... not everyone has the level of "willing suspension of disbelief" that WE do.

I liked the way Abe's his roommate to officialdom. And he's still upsetting his father by being reckless.
