Sleepy Hollow (TV Series)

Has anyone else followed this show? It’s actually halfway decent. Also it gives a great portrayal of a woman that starts out seemingly virtuous but over time her manifestation into a black-hearted bitch is revealed bit by bit. It also shows a male lead that at times shows his trad-con side, but also doesn’t act like a floormat when his woman tries to pull s~~~ on him.

There are a few “strong female” leads but they aren’t over the top and they have flaws and weaknesses just like…”gasp”…real people. No Kung Fu girl power superheroes flying from strings without breaking  a sweat or breaking a nail.

The alternate take on the revolutionary war and the book of revelations is a breath of fresh air, even if the show isn’t a masterpiece.

The Children of Doom... Doom's Children. They told my lord the way to the Mountain of Power. They told him to throw down his sword and return to the Earth... Ha! Time enough for the Earth in the grave.

I enjoy the show. I wasn’t a fan when Icabod’s wife came in. I was glad to see her being slowly moved out of the “golden vigina” status and shown like a backstabbing woman.

I think it’s a great lesson to be learned. Not to mention Icabod’s sidekick sees their relationship for the lie it really is. Not to mention she was mentored by a guy so she has a bit of common sense. Her sister borderlines on the prototypical badass chick, but even she can’t overcome the odds by herself and so it becomes a team effort.

I wouldn’t call it a MGTOW show, but there certainly are lessons to be learned if you pay close attention to the interaction between the characters. And Icabod isn’t a white knight, mangina type. He actually has a backbone.

I also enjoy the show too. I haven’t seen the last few episodes of season 2, but the characters are pretty good on that show.
