    Found another promising Supernatural FOX series that will likely be killed by FOX before half a season.



    Dammit FOX, why are you doing this to me, teasing me with two promising shows that I know you're just going to cancel in the end!?:_|

    So (without watching the trailer) Ichabod comes back to life in the modern day?

    This show is terrible. I watched the first episode. Had a season's worth of exposition crammed into one episode. Shouldn't we be finding everything out slowly by the season? Why is the Fourth Horsemen working as a Mercenary for the Brits? How is that even something that Death itself would be doing?

    You overestimate the patience of people watching a show about the Headless Horseman and a 250-year old Ichabod Crane.

    I don't mind the pacing. It seems to be doing something unexpected (new baddie every ep?) and since I don't understand what the end goal is, I'll stick with it. They seem to have it planned out pretty well. Overall I think it's better than most shows on tv.

    If anything, I think the pacing is working in its favor. Most people I've talked to who've enjoyed have done so precisely because there's so much crazy stuff going on at once. If they tried to drag it out over the course of the season, I'm not sure it would be doing anywhere near as well.

    The first episode was fun; the second ran more like a cheap horror movie and I wasn't as happy. I'm giving it a couple more episodes before I decide about bailing though.

    I think we may get more myth/monster of the week with a sprinkling of episodes that hinge on the original apocalypse theme interspersed.

    I agree with The Loyal Imperial. I'm enjoying it for all the crazy **** going on. Kinda got a comic feel going on and we know how hard it is to make fantasy shows 'realistic'. That's the fastest way to make them fail.

    I'll also admit that Tom Mison's Icabod is rather easy on the eyes.

    This has been pretty decent so far. I will continue to watch.

    I'm enjoying it a lot, especially the way they are sort of downplaying Icabod's acclimation into modern society, making it very much a background theme, instead of right out front.

    I'm less pleased by the way they've failed to explain why a Sherriff's Deputy (who wouldn't answer to 'lieutenant') is suddenly working for the Chief of Police, but that's really a minor quibble.

    Wow, Lilith Demodae, how how you?!?

    Totally agree about his acclimation. Admittedly at first it really bugged me because you'd think waking up 200 years in the future would be a big deal, but I'm growing fond of the little bits they give us every episode. The start of this last episode was hysterical to me as I at first wondered who he was talking to.

    I wonder if GrandAdmiralJello has been watching. He would've loved last night's episode.

    No, I don't watch this show. I... know it exists? but that's about it.

    I just marathoned half this season. I don't know if it's because I watched it all at once or what, but it seemed to get...really good. Surprisingly. I thought it was going to follow the crapfest of Grimm and throw out a million pointless villains but there seems to be a point to the pointlessness of these villains.
