Last night "Sleepy Hollow" premiered on Fox. The basic premise is Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman awaken in present day Sleepy Hollow NY. The action begins right off the bat as the Horseman beheads the sheriff. His sidekick Abbie Mills then takes his place and, together with Ichabod, tries to figure out what HH is up to.
Everything in town is not as it seems. The previous sheriff had been investigating the strange goings on in Sleepy Hollow (dating back hundreds of years). Apparently there are two secret groups operating in the world (one good and one bad). They have seamlessly infiltrated society so we don't know who is who. He also had news clippings of an incident involving Abbie and her sister when they were young.
We of course already know that HH is a baddie and that he's looking for his head. What we didn't know is he is really the first of the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse (namely "Death"). And if he finds his head, all Hell will break loose... literally.
Important points to remember:
- HH hates sunlight (maybe he's a vampire, we'll never know till we puts his head back on). Does he even need his head back? He seems to be doing pretty well without it. And what's up with that strange brand on his hand?
- Ichy's wife Katrina (who was burnt for witchcraft even though she's a good witch) appears to him. She is stuck is some dimension in the Sleepy Hollow forest.
- Too bad that priest lost his head in episode 1. Maybe we'll see some more flashbacks of him (since he was at least 230 years old).
- The baddie police officer (Andy) meets a nasty end thanks to some demon living in the prison cell's mirror.
- And if you see a horse with red eyes, you should run the other direction.
Favorite quotes:
- "When did women start wearing trousers?"- Ichy to Abbie.
- "You can't kill Death."- Andy to Abbie.
Abbie Mills is NOT Ichabod Crane's "sidekick". Jesus!
ReplyDeleteHow bout Ichabod is Abbie's sidekick instead?
