Indispensable Man

The first hour is defined by a matter of faith.

It is hard enough for some shippers to care about Katrina, and theyve had many, many flashbacks.

Sorry Andy, but youre just not boyfriend material.

Unfortunately, hes not really demon material either.

The real gist of this first hour is Ichabod and Abbie Mills conviction can overcome anything.

Andy reminds Abbie that Ichabod will betray her soul to Moloch (trust me, well get there!

Something wicked this way comes, and Ichabod and Abbie may unleash the apocalypse if they follow Washingtons clues.

This also creates yet another time paradox in the story.

Oy, this timeline is getting very confusing…

This is only compounded by the fact that Washington is revealed to have been a supernatural being.

Yes, we see his body in this episode, but that doesnt mean its him.

Vernon and the Capitol are just decoys).

It is at this point that Andy reveals his demonic side.

After being swarmed upon by evil insects, Moloch-Andy is honestly not all that different.

He has dark eyes and a cool bulbous head that made this reviewer think of H.R.

However, the catch of this is does he really mean to save Abbie and the world from fire?

As Henry Parish suggests, prophecies have a habit of being self-fulfilling.

George Washington leaves the map for Ichabod to use to supposedly save Creation with.

…Or did he?

After all, prophecies are self-fulfilling.

Bad Blood

To approach the second hour allots a brief moment to talk about Frank Irving.

Unfortunately, all the witches that Ichabod and Abbie know are dead…save for Katrina.

Ergo, the Witnesses are instantly tested in the age-old Perchance to Dream scenario.

It is very weird, but ultimately just annoying.

Katrina, Katrina, Katrina.

As Henry says, War is not coming to Sleepy Hollow; War is already here!

Also, hes Ichabod and Katrinas long lost son…

But I never expected kindly John Noble to be that monster underneath their nose this whole time.

Albeit, hes aged pretty well for a guy trapped in a wooden box for 200 years.

Ichabod and Katrina have the free will to make their own choices.

Sleepy Hollowappears to go the fullEmpire Strikes Backin this finale.

The day the Mills girls lives were ruined.

It would appear that sanctuary is a long way off.

Overall, this came around for a solid finale that hinged almost wholly on this final twist.

As it turns out,Sleepy Hollowis not just a bit of kooky apocalyptic fantasy.

Its an allegory about the sins of our past coming home.

However, that shining glow can have a dark underbelly of mistakes swept under the rug.

War has long been inSleepy Hollow, almost as long as America has been at war.

A bridge too far?

And I remember when this was that show about the Headless Horseman pumping a shotgun.
