This episode was hilarious. I had to rewind a few times because I missed some dialogue due to laughing so much. I hope they can keep the good times coming.

Crane is British; of course he's going to pronounce it "leftenant". I can't believe that's even an issue. I loved this episode, with all of the references to the difference in time and both improvements and well, non-improvements. I do like that it's not a constant thing, but as a result, when these scenes do happen, it makes them even more enjoyable. They've hit on a good balance with this show on a variety of levels. And lordy but Crane sure is pretty.  |

Him getting all uppity over the museum/library teaching school children the wrong events of history for Paul Revere was great. And he was right, too! Revere never said, "The British are coming, the British are coming". Why would he? Most of the people in Boston were British and still claimed to be. Would seem a little ridiculous saying such a thing.
"I'm the one amongst you that doesn't require medication." Hee!
The fact that Abbie said that that library could be his 'happy place' almost makes me wish that was a sense of foreshadowing. Please let him get a bit of happiness and teach the fine children of Sleepy Hollow a valid education!

Darn it, I guess we won't be seeing James Frain again. But John Noble could still come back, right? I certainly hope so.
On a related note: is the guy doing the music the same one who worked on Fringe? Some of the "themes" sound very similar. Not that I'm complaining, as the music is quite lovely.
This is seriously my new favorite (current) show!

I don't think it's the same composers as Fringe:
Sleepy Hollow Composer(s)
Robert Lydecker
Brian Tyler
But since it's created and written, produced by the same Fringe guys...that may just be the vibe they're looking for. Speaking of Noble, I heard that he was supposed to have an arc on the show, so I would suspect he'd be back. Heck, do a whole Fringe reunion while you're at it! (please?)
One thing that interested me was when that cop that dated Abbie questions Crane and if he is truly from Oxford...he got a call back saying that he is on leave helping the police in the states. How did that get pulled off? Someone is working behind the scenes to keep Crane on the DL me thinks.

John Noble is coming back.
I loved this ep. It was so funny. Sassy Ichabod is my favorite thing ever. Loved the voicemail.

Yeah, that was disappointing. The last I saw of him, he was on True Blood showing Tara how fast he could text 'muthaf*cker'. I was looking forward to him having more interactions with Icky and the gang. Oh well.
That said, this show continues to be adorable if simultaneously ludicious (and that ain't a bad thing) I loved the voicemail and Icabod's near encounter with a Hot!Live!Chat chick (Who's laptop was that? Abbie's? Leftenant, you got some 'splainin' to do!)
Also, for all his outrage over the false history being taught about Paul Revere, it was nice that Abbie and Irving could school him about Sally Hemmings. Though that said, I will say the whole Sally Hemmings conversation seemed deeply out of place within the episode. They had it while frantic violins played and smack in the middle of much plotting and preparing for the Horseman's arrival and so it rang kind of inappropriate to the tense mood of, you know, DEATH INCARNATE approaching. It would have been better saved for a time when they were all sitting at a diner somewhere having coffee and pie and not while carefully setting a very elaborate trap for the unstoppable supernatural entity that wanted to kill them all. Still, Icky's pout when he realized Jefferson stole his witty line was too awesome- just the timing of it felt off. Yeah, Jefferson screwed you over... but ummm.... HORSEMAN COMING!!!
Glad Irving is finally on board with the whole 'Headless Horsemen are REAL!' and also apparently has some Matrix style moves under his belt. That should come in handy.
Now that they got the Horseman... can they keep him?? And what about neckless double agent John Cho? Will he be bound to help the Horseman? Or can he kick back and enjoy his zombie life now that his master's in chains and gettin' a nice tan?

FYI, James Frain has been in the past couple of seasons of Grimm.
It was nice that John Cho's character's turned out to be oddly helpful.

I am trying really, really hard not to spoil myself for the episodes I haven't seen yet, but so far I have to say that it's been a really long time since I found a show I wanted to actually watch, and not just look at now and then while browsing the intertubes. This show has my whole attention. That is all.

I thought the same thing ... however, when Crane was snarkily telling Abbie it was "hogwash," I was totally thinking, "Someone please tell him about DNA." So I was delighted when Irving started schooling him. It was a little out of place, I will admit, but I enjoyed the hell out of those scenes. I also think Crane can be a bit arrogant -- although sometimes I think the arrogance is a front to keep people from seeing how out of his depth he feels -- so his sulky reaction to Jefferson stealing his line cracked me up.
I KNOW. I need to know what is going on with that.
I'm right with you, chonies. The premise of this show sounded so silly that I didn't think I'd make it past the first episode, but it immediately became my favorite new show of the season. The cast is so great, you can't help but enjoy it.
