Sleepy Hollow: Oh, How I Love and Despise Thee!

So, Sleepy Hollow had its season finale on Monday, and I have to say that it was a doozy! There was a big reveal that was shocking. I definitely didn’t see it coming. And there were cliffhangers galore.

Sometimes I miss the old days when the season finale was a wrap-up of the season, and most things were resolved. But not nowadays. Noooo… We have to make sure viewers come back for the next season by hanging everyone over the cliff. (Oh, Buffy, how I miss your season finales.)  I believe that if viewers watch the season finale, it means they like the show enough to come back the next season. Unless you really mess things up.

Yes, I watched Sleepy Hollow’s season finale, and yes, I will be returning next season; not just because I want to find out what happens, and how my favorite characters get out of their current predicaments, but because I really like the show.

My other big beef with this show, and with other shows that deal with the supernatural, is that everyone seems to know what's going to happen before it happens except for the main characters. How the heck did George Washington know that Ichabod was going to be killed by the headless horseman and then rise 200 years later to stop an apocalypse? If he did, why didn't he just tell Ichabod, instead of giving him all of these cryptic hints. And... why the heck did Moloch need that map? Couldn't he already get to purgatory? Oh, I really could go on & on. But I won't, because in spite of these beefs, I still like the show.

Oh, and one more thing... Ichabod dated Betsy Ross. Hehe.

Oh, September, you seem so far away!

Drop Dead Diva: Season 4 Finale

The season finale of Drop Dead Diva gave us one cliff hanger we were expecting, and another that I did not see coming. The unexpected twist will make for a very interesting season five.

It was great to see Fred again. I’ve missed Fred. But then, how can you not miss someone who’s name is Fred? That name just evokes “missing” when he (or she) goes away.

The two cases in the season finale were interesting ones. One was case was about a woman who has a brain tumor, and because of the location of the tumor in the brain, the woman’s IQ has gone up significantly. However, it also means she has only a few months to live if it is not removed. Her husband, of course, wants her to have the tumor removed, but she is reticent because she likes being smart. Jane (Deb) can understand where the woman is coming from, because Deb was never known for her intelligence until she got Jane’s body and her high IQ.

The other case is a country singer who is on trial for causing one of her fans to act out the lyrics of one of her songs and cut the brakes on her ex-boyfriends car, which led to him being injured in a car accident. It's very topical, with so many singers bashing their exes in their songs, and so many songs about retribution. How responsble would a singer be if someone decided to do exactly what one of their songs say. Would a case like that hold up in court? Who knows.

The cases weren’t the big stories of the episode. Jane and Owen were getting married. Jane (Deb) was finally really moving on from Grayson. The big question was, how did Grayson feel about Jane? We find out, but it's not "as easy as..."

I'm excited for season 5. How long do I have to wait?
