Sleepy Hollow is back.  Squee!

And I love i09's intro to its recap:

Welcome back to season two of Sleepy Hollow, the show that makes any attempt at describing it to a non-watcher sound like you're the drunk guy who went to a historical-conspiracy website one time and Cannot Stop Thinking About It!

When we left off, the show had spent thirteen breakneck hours hurling every possible trope right at us, and locked Abbie and Ichabod in Purgatory for the break. Will they ever escape?

Yes. From the two-second credits (WELCOMEBACKTOSLEEPYHOLLOWOKAYBYE) to the plot twists that pop up so often this episode really does feel like racing through a maze at full speed the entire time, this episode has one job: to reunite Abbie and Ichabod. This series has a lot going for it in other respects: it's a diverse cast with great overall chemistry, all sorts of relationships are presented as interesting and valuable, and it's a magnificent blend of historical trivia and just not giving a crap. But the X-Files influence is strong with this one, and at the end of the day, there's no show unless those two are hanging out being extremely differing heights and sniping at one another with barely suppressed glee...





Full recap here

*snort*  From the comments:


Sleepy Hollow: Where in one second you can go from, "Yes! Shirtless headless horseman" to the next second, "Wait, did I just want to sex up a headless guy?" Yes. Yes, you did want to sex up a guy without a head. Thank you, Sleepy Hollow.
