Sleepy Hollow


Fall is here and I can't think if a better story that captures the feel of fall and Halloween like Sleepy Hollow. When the concept of that book was turned into a television series last Year I was excited. Last season ended with such a cliffhanger that I couldn't wait for this season to start. Last week was the first episode of the season and I must admit I was confused. 

When the episode begins we have the little "Previously on" which helped me remember where we left off. Then it starts almost months later like nothing happened. I was really confused at first. So much so that my wife and I found the season finale on Demand and re-watched it. Nope, still confused after that. We taped it on our DVR and yes, I realize I am dating myself by saying I taped it. We started the episode over and just hung on. 

About ten minutes in it all makes sense. I had worried that this was a show that wasn't going to stand the test of time. You can only battle the headless horseman so many times before it gets old right. Then they bring in the four horsemen of the Apocalypse and now Ichabod has much more on his plate than just a headless soldier who wont die. We love this show. Tonight is a new episode of season 2 and I can't wait. Between this and Gotham, I have a reason to love Mondays. Sounds cheesy I know but it is true. Some of my wife's and my favorite shows are on Monday night. Castle, Under the Dome, and now Gotham and Sleepy Hollow. The rest of the week is just not as good. Except Fridays, I do like Fridays just for the weekend. It is still early enough to get in on this show and enjoy it. If you are interested the season premier is still free on iTunes and you can always check your Cable provider for it OnDemand. 



This will also be included in my entries for the RIP Challenge over at Stainless Steel Droppings. This is part of the Peril on the Screen section of this challenge.

    I love Sleepy Hollow so much. Will be watching the 2nd episode tonight. Do you guys watch Grimm? That is a really good one too.

    We love Grimm. Last season was really good and I'm looking forward to the new season starting whenever that is.

    I was dubious of the premise when Sleepy Hallow premiered last season, but I enjoy this show *so* much. I love its creepiness, and its strong male/female friendship, and I could watch scenes of Ichabod critiquing modern American politics forever. :)

    I was worried this shown couldnt remain interesting for long, but I like what they have done with the story. The original story was just the opening. I also agree with your points. This is a great show. Thanks for stopping by.

Follow Me Friday- Picture Books

Image
Feature Follow is the day of the week that we get to know each other and make some new friends. This is graciously put on by our hosts Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me. Feel free to follow through bloglovin, email, or GFC. I'm not picky just happy to have the company.   This weeks question is:   What were some of your favorite picture books as a kid? If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

A-Z Reading Survey

On one of the blogs I follow I saw this and thought it sounded like a lot of fun. I decided to follow the link to the A-Z Meme . I also decided to check out the blog this came from and really liked it. What kind of blogger would I be if I didn't give credit where it is due? This is from The Perpetual Page-Turner , and her blog is pretty cool. So here are her questions and my answers. A uthor you’ve read the most books from: Jeffery Deaver is the author that I have read the most books from. If you checked out my all about me post you would know that his books are the reason I am the avid reader I am. Michael Connelly and Steven King would be a close second. Still have a lot of King to read.   B est Sequel Ever:  What a good question. Currently the only one I can think of is the Lord of the Rings Tow Towers. That is my favorite book of the series. C urrently Reading: Currently I am listening to Storm Fron by Richard Castle, and reading Sons of Moriarty and More St

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri
