I enjoyed it.

The part at the end creeped me out.

It's hard to balance reality with fantasy elements.

We'll see how long FOX gives them.

Hmmm... Didn't realize this was on tonight. Not on my watch list. For some reason it didn't interest me when i checked out the trailer. I'll download and check it out and see if it's any good.

Ya, sadly it started during baseball play off/world series time. So if Fox still has that contract, it's scripted shows will be pushed to the back burner for a few weeks.

highly enjoyed it, possibly for the same reasons I enjoy Grimm... the sort of retelling/modernization of an old story.

Guess it can only run for 7 seasons at most though....

If you're talking about that demon thing in the mirror , yeah me too.

I'm finding I'm enjoying these "modernizations" of classic stories, Sherlock, Elementary, Grimm, and now Sleepy Hollow. Since it's Fox, I hope they give it a chance....

Re: Sleepy Hollow: Tonight

I thought it was pretty good, with a pretty creepy end to the pilot.

When I first heard about the show, I was wondering how they could possibly make the Sleepy Hollow story into a cop series, but the plot they came up with seems to make sense. Turning the Headless Horseman into one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse seems like it might work. Plus now they have witches and the devil to contend with.
One thing I didn't get was why Ichabod was arrested by the Asian cop for walking down the street in the beginning of the show, especially since there was an "officer down" call put over the radio.


So far I like it.

I don't get that either, unless the cop [who was revealed to know about the headless horseman] knew who Ichabod was.

It's being shown again this Friday, for any that may have missed it.

That has to be it, but how would he know?
While it was happening I was pretty much scratching my head

Recall Just before the horseman killed him, he said he knew where the horseman's head was. Hence why I think he'd know who Ichabod was. He might have been a member of one of those covens.

I think that was Satan that killed him in the jail cell and then walked into the mirror. Is that the scene you were talking about?
But even so, if Ichabod can stop the apocalypse from happening, why arrest him? Why not just kill him?

Finally got around to watching it. It was pretty good. One question. Don't these cop cars have dash cams? There are two cops drawing down on a headless guy that just both happen to recant their story later. It was right in front of a cop car.

Good question about the dash cams. You would think ever cop car would have one, but I think it depends on the city that the police are in. If the city can afford it or not.
How "rural" is the Town of Sleepy Hollow? For the show, it looks to have a large police force, hence I'm suspecting it's not a "small" town.

The "Welcome to Sleepy Hollow" sign had a population of 144,000.

So that's a small city. And it does make one wonder about the dash board cams. The cop cars had their light bars on? My understanding is the dash cam is inactive unless the light bar is activated.
I guess chalk it up to a detail that was over looked.

The other thing that bothered me was how the cop comes back to life and rips his way out of the body bag, takes a cop car, drives around for almost a full day and nobody seems to notice any of these events.

I was wondering why there was no reports of a missing body from the morgue as well. Or reports of a stolen police cruiser.

So, what is the over/under for when Ichabod gets modern day clothes?

Anyways, I'm still enjoying it.

The population number is no coincidence. It was chosen deliberately. And fits in with the Four Horsemen of Revelations
said by Wiki Sleepy Hollow (TV) :

The headless horseman is revealed to be Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse described in the Book of Revelation.
