I love this show!! I've not seen the season finale yet.....it interfered with my beloved Tar Heels basketball game, and they always come first, even when they suck.....but I digress.
Sleepy Hollow is a fantastic show. I love how they combine legend, history and fiction into the story.

Yeah, it was a surprisingly top-drawer show... but then again some of the folks responsible for Fringe were behind it, so that's not that big of a surprise in retrospect.... love that time were Crane points out that the colonists were recently British enough themselves that they would never say 'the British are coming!'....

this is one of my favorites:

Ichabod: You paid? For water? Why not drink from one of the thousands to taps around town or the lake?
Abbie: Well, tap water's got chemicals in it and the lake, you don't even wanna know.
Ichabod: The extent to which your generation has defiled this earth is truly mind boggling.

I thought it sounded like it would be the most awful show premise ever, but I loved it. The cast is top notch and engaging as hell. Ichabod's observations are the best part! My favorite, on sales tax: "We went to war over 2% tax! I can't believe there isn't rioting in the streets!" :D I also loved when he pointed out that "English", as spoken in early Colonial times, was much closer to German than what we experience now--my historian's heart giggled with joy! People forget that. Can't wait for the new season!

I'm glad that you mentioned the show from your historian's view point as that's one of my favorite things to do with the show- I watch the episode in it's entirety on the night the episode premiers then i watch it a second time On Demand and i'll research some of his comments. i LOVE his comment about Samuel Prescott during the 'Midnight Ride' episode..... and sure enough, it was true...Concord WAS Samuel Prescott's route! LOL! I also adore how he refers to Abby as 'leftenantl instead of 'lieutenant'. Tom Mison actually changed that dialogue himself.....
