Go Sox, or is it Go Pawsox! Whatever. ...Hi Lynne,<br /><br />Go Sox, or is it Go Pawsox! Whatever. Yes, it is awesome that Sleepy is back. Their production values are so great, the acting is fantastic and so sincere and then there is all the work they put into their mythology. The reservoir of inspiration should be endless. <br /><br />The "killing" of Jenny and Kat served to drive the Witnesses to greater effort in their memories, and in revenge, which led Henry to plumb the depths of their psyche's for more information. I liked it. Quite devilish.<br /><br />Good point on the Soul/Golem connection. As I mentioned above, Henry still has his soul intact albeit corrupted. That means it is not beyond redemption. As Lyn and I discussed, we'd like to see him join forces with the good guys against Moloch. (But not right away!)<br /><br />Were you disappointed about seeing Abe's head? What I would like to see is someone else in the room while Kat and HH are talking and they only see the stumpy version of Abe. That should be hilarious. Can you imagine the look on Abbie's or Crane's face as the watch Kat talk to HH? I want that!<br /><br />Yeah, Irving will be back, so where were any mentions especially by Abbie? And Sleepy Hollow will be getting a new Sheriff that has a past with Jenny. So where does that leave Irving? Just another member of the Scooby gang? Ah, but wait, He and Jenny had a connection didn't they. Maybe she will spring him from jail.<br /><br />I had just finished watching Gotham and then saw the bats and thought, "That's fitting, whoops, wrong show." As for Moloch's lair it was also reminiscent of the episode where the Root monster lived in the cellar of an old mansion. I think he had a reporter or writer imprisoned there. Lot's of good tree and crow action in that one.<br /><br />Ha, I thought of National Treasure also when I saw the Benjamin brick. Nice tie in to Raiders though!<br /><br />Monday is right around the corner. I'll be watching the shows and keeping a half an eye on Brady hoping he'll be able to survive another game.<br /><br />Thanks Lynne!<br /><br />Interdimensional Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02859157830795670649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-85279817732979907322014-09-27T09:30:28.382-04:002014-09-27T09:30:28.382-04:00Hi Dave,

Also Abbie offers Ich food first thing, another red flag that all is not right. I did think it was interesting that in the shared faux future Katrina and Jennie had died. Perhaps this was just to keep the witnesses on task? <br /><br />John Noble is just gold, he chews up every second of screen time with relish. I like the horseman avatar, because to be honest I can't picture JN on a horse wielding a huge flaming sword with any seriousness. There is also precedent for him controlling another avatar (of sorts) with his soul, the gollum. <br /><br />Katrina and headless. I am a little disappointed that she now has a means to see his face and talk with him. Part of what makes that character fascinating to me is how much he is able to communicate without a face or voice. Just his hands in the way he lays out the bread for her speaks volumes. I honestly burst out laughing at the headless shirtless shot, it just struck me as hilarious. <br /><br />OK here is my one complaint. No Irving. Not even a namedrop. Even long dead Corbin got a namedrop. It was great to have Andy back again though, he has taken stalking to epic lengths. <br /><br />Symbols. Stormy weather = war coming? Seems like every time we're in the cabin it is thundering and lightning outside. Scary birds and some bats this time too! And then there are those tree roots (fingers of the past or realms below?) that keep ensnaring Ich. Moloch's hovel appears to be made of them and there was that freaky plant with squirmy roots in the faux future.<br /><br />I'm a sucker for the references (intentional or not) to National Treasure (key in the brick in the clock tower) and Raiders of the Lost Ark (those Hessians are digging in the wrong place!). <br /><br />Can't wait for next week! -LynneAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043207251205347321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-17346384074969346982014-09-27T07:56:00.387-04:002014-09-27T07:56:00.387-04:00Thank you Lyn, Yes, now John is the son and his c...Thank you Lyn, Yes, now John is the son and his character is carrying a lot of bitterness. But I can see him becoming an ally by seasons end. I just hope they don't have him rejoin his family only to sacrifice himself to protect them. I want him around for a long time. Perhaps any sacrifice would involve him losing his memory and reverting to Henry the Sin Eater.<br /><br />Did you see the Abraham and Katrina scenes as sexualized in any way? There has been a lot of buzz about him walking around with his shirt off and having her, ahem, tied up.<br /><br />You'll have to tell me where you're getting your "downloads" some day.<br /><br />Cheers Lyn!Interdimensional Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02859157830795670649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-21616299300665344082014-09-27T04:36:48.202-04:002014-09-27T04:36:48.202-04:00Hi Dave, great post as always.

Love seeing John on tv .....and love the fact that he is now playing the 'son' role in the 'father son' relationship. I wonder if Jeremy/Henry will eventually become his fathers ally, like Peter did on Fringe.<br />I was fascinated by the scenes with Abraham aka Headless Horseman and Katrina ..... I just loved the way it was filmed. <br />Im looking forward to ep 2. Thank goodness for downloads as im not sure when season 2 will start up here in OZ. runpaceyrunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-92052027401754985722014-09-25T12:31:27.751-04:002014-09-25T12:31:27.751-04:00Come to think of it Ingrid, Crane looks a little m...Come to think of it Ingrid, Crane looks a little more studly himself. Put on some needed weight perhaps and a new shampoo?<br /><br />Good point about this being a father son story. It's certainly more interesting than kidnapped Katrina. Use your witch powers lady! Duh! Mison and Noble are fantastic. I hope the show runners realize this and give them plenty of material to work with.<br /><br />Thanks Ingrid!Interdimensional Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02859157830795670649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795354962718403859.post-54888198284024831502014-09-25T11:48:58.128-04:002014-09-25T11:48:58.128-04:00Great post, Dave.

You're right about Abbey looking softer, I did notice that one, and the repeated use of mirrors. I quite enjoy that.<br /><br />Overall I really enjoyed the episode and will continue watching, but I will admit what I like most is watching both John Noble and the guy who plays Ichabod - they are both a real treat to watch!<br /><br />I guess this is kind of turning into a father vs son story (in general), and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.Ingrid KV Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357668181484669053noreply@blogger.com
