Sleepy Hollow Season 2 Discussion

^ This crossover was originally planned for the Fall, but it's now being planned for sometime in 2016, so it's not happening for a while yet.
 
This crossover is a weird idea. I could see if it was some kind of a fantasy story on Bones, or one of the other ideas you guys said, but I don't think I'd want it to be a completely serious canon thing for both shows.
 
An FBI special agent is Abbie's new boss? I wonder how that happens? Or is that a goof on the part of the website?

Do we know yet if Sheriff Reyes is coming back?

It's already been announced that she becomes an FBI agent this season, so it would only make sense that her boss would be one too.
 
Ugh.

All of this is so very depressing. It really looks like they have no idea how to stop the death spiral this show went into in season 2. I'm not interested in these new additions. I was interested in the Core 4 of Abby, Jenny, Crane and Irving.

I will give S3 an honest try, but if this fun, quirky, creepy, supernatural fantasy morphs into "Ichabod Crane and His Women" I am out for good.
 
It's truly frustrating when a show with a great 1st season goes bad because of tinkering. I'm looking at you, Human Target, Larroquette, and Martial Law.

I thought Martial Law was better-written in its second season, and the smaller ensemble worked better.

Now, if they brought Kelly Hu to Sleepy Hollow, that could only be an improvement...
 
Kelly Hu improves anything. Her Viagra commercial makes me want to have erectile dysfunction! No wait...

Anyhoo, I thought Martial Law was more pure fun in season 1. Introducing Arsenio Hall of all people, obviously to mimic the Rush Hour buddy film dynamic, was a huge misstep. Arsenio is a great talk show host, but a lousy kung fu show character. The show seemed to dial down the fun, and leveled off in bland dramasville.

I saw that commercial and I thought, "Who needs Viagra when you can just listen to Kelly Hu's voice?"

Couldn't disagree more. Hall breathed new life to the show, and had infinitely more charisma than Louis Mandylor. (Heck, a fencepost has more charisma than both Mandylor brothers combined.) The buddy-cop partnership between him and Sammo may have been derivative, but it worked; letting Sammo be the straight man in a double act worked better than having him be more of a solo figure alongside a couple of boring whitebread cop characters.

People tend to see Arsenio Hall as "a talk show host," but I see him differently. After all, before he was a talk show host, he was the voice of Winston on The Real Ghostbusters. So I've always seen him as an actor first, and a very charming and funny one at that.

Breaking In pulled the exact same mistake Human Target did with season 2. Introduce two female characters, the co-worker kind of works but the boss is just shoehorned in on everything and kills the flow.

Right? Plus that simply exquisite face.

Fair 'nuff. I guess I just never liked the guy.
 
While I agree it wasn't as good as Season 1, I didn't hate Season 2 as much as most of you guys seem to. I wouldn't really have minded if it kept the basic set up from season 2, with a few minor tweaks, or even went back to something closer to season 1, but what I'm hearing about Season 3 is making me nervous.
