I'm watching Sleepy Hollow right now AIFG!
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.

Limitless proved to be much much better than I expected. Has sci-fi premise, and also uses near-future breathroughs orthagonal to main premise as plot points but overall procedural elements are stronger and overall feel of show is more mystery-suspense than sci-fi. So an argument could be made for discussion either boxed set or procedurals. Will X-post rec in both places and in Bureaucracy so that where it goes can be decided.

Note: discussion as to where this should be discussed probably best Bureaucracy, though it strikes me as a close enough call that probably the first stompy that encounters the post in Bureaucracy might want to arbitrarily decide.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Sleepy Hollow felt uneven, but I was good with it. I love Crane's haircut (I know it's because the wig was hell on Tom Mison, but I still love it). Love him shit-talking Benjamin Franklin every chance he gets. Loved him fixing the Colonial Times' cashier's hat ("You're not a pirate!").

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Sleepy Hollow - Just me, or does everyone else see C. Thomas Howell and reflexively assume he's the bad guy any more?

Yes and yes.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I thought Sleepy Hollow was okay, but I feel like they just replaced Katrina with Katrina 2.0.

Not just you, Epic. I was sure he'd turn out to be a minion of the new Big Bad right up to the moment he bought it.

Katrina with Katrina 2.0.
I was thinking she was a poor substitute for John Noble.
And I'm going to hold out hope that they can sneak Orlando Jones back to town for al least a visit.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I was cautiously pleased with Sleepy Hollow. I give it a solid B. It sort of felt like Betsy Ross was the badass spy and Pandora the powerful witch that they always TOLD us, but never SHOWED us, Katrina was.
But it was fun and playful again, and had just enough significant looks and touches to make my Ichabbie shipper heart happy, so I'm good for now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
It wasn't the strongest repilot, but I'm still glad it's back. Hopefully the new showrunners can learn to relax into the rhythms of the show and get us back on track.
