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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Unrelated to driving, it's interesting to be catching up on S1 of Sleepy Hollow while concurrently watching S2. Because we already know from S2 that Henry is (1) Ichabod and Katrina's son, and (2) evil. So we're watching S1 unfold, and I've been expecting him to bust out with the full-on mwah-ha-ha evil ever since he was introduced, but (as you know Bob), the show has played it straight all the way through episode 12 (which we just finished).

If I weren't also watching S2, I wouldn't have guessed yet that Henry is evil as shit. And I kind of like him as a good guy. Except for the fact that he's so marvelous as a bad guy.

That's the beauty of Henry, he was just an odd guy with a fascinating gift.

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

I really don't want Henry to be redeemed. I believe Katrina is full of sentimental claptrap, but I wouldn't notice she was gone for weeks--I am just never on her side. And it has nothing to do with shipping... has she even had a comedic line?

She asked Abby if there was more reality TV she could watch.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I would enjoy Katrina more as a character if she were part of the Ichabod & Abbie crime-fighting unit. In the Horseman/Henry household she feels too much like a plot device.

And a womb.

She asked Abby if there was more reality TV she could watch.

But that's evidence of humour on our parts, not on theirs. She's just so simperingly passive. She was better in the...that house she's in is in the present, right? I admit to skimming K-heavy bits...real world, but I also feel like there's no place for her there, because they're already one heavy.

Here's how you get past the gorgon: A BLOODY MIRROR. Or, your phone with the front camera on, facing her.

Come on....

Oh, hey! The phone is out....

Still, hmmph.

"Are you taking a selfie with her??"

I did figure from the start that a gorgon wasn't going to be a great deal of trouble for the Headless Horseman, what with the whole not having eyes thing he's got going on.
