Sleepy Hollow: Pilot
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!
Loved it. So. Much.
1. Abbie. The Dean to Ichabod's Sam. She might get second billing (just) but she's very much the driving force right now. I love her so much already.
2. The dialogue was really good! people said normal human things which made sense! Ichabod was bewildered in a believable way but it wasn't all overdone and I thought they handled all the interrogation and everything so well - obviously people were going to think he was deluded but they weren't being dicks about it, like maybe real people might not be. Just... every time they had a choice they went for the slightly subtler one.
3. Yay for a diverse LEADING cast in a fantasy type show. They weren't messing about with the offing of the old white dudes....
4. And Abbie's partner got fridged (sort of) and Ichabod's wife didn't (sort of)! Although - I have to say, for the short time he thought she'd been horribly killed he didn't seem especially cut up about it.
5. I thought they tied all the elements together into something interesting. "Tied together for 7 years", heh - they obviously have their ifngers crossed for success.
I mean, obviously it's only the pilot but here's hoping!
