In the penultimate episode of season two, all the cards are laid on the table for Sleepy Hollow.
If only they had been bluffing….
Katrina.
Oh, Katrina, Katrina, Katrina.
I promise to giveSleepy Hollowthree complimentsthis week before I get into the Katrina plotting.
And honestly, Im quite cool with that.
Hell, they could spend a whole season back there for all I care.
Did I say three compliments?
Lets just settle for two and a half.
But she bought the bill of goods so well that shesuddenlyfeels like a persecuted minority fighting for witches rights.
This is not lazy plotting.
I say that because its not actually plotting.
Its just throwing soap opera cliches at the whiteboard and seeing what sticks.
And no: having Henry quote Act One ofHamletdoth not Shakespeare, this make.
Well, guess what?
What did Frank Irving accidentally selling his soul to Henry amount to after 17 EPISODES?
A band aid retcon while Katrina now wears the black hat.
However, the lack of inner-life behind Katrinas eyes for much of season two has hardly been bewitching.
If theyre trying to make her the Wiccans Erik Lehnsherr, there must first be a serious grievance.
Yep, Abbie (finally) put Frank Parrish in the ground, and Ichabod couldnt be happier.
And honestly, I wish we had cut to Nicole Beharie more.
My only other request is to know why she didnt put two or three more slugs in Katrina too?
Oh well, at least theyre going back in time.
