Have You Ever Just Watched An Hour Of Television That Managed To Both Entertain You And Also Leave You

And they lived platonically ever after…

Mark Henderson is just waiting for people to talk shit about Richonne on Facebook.

Sleepy Hollow

Yeah, spoilers. This is a hate letter. 

I’m almost 47 years old. And this is the first time in my history with television  that a single episode of something has made me regret ever watching a show to start with. I regret the time I spent on Sleepy Hollow. Because they just erased everything I loved about it with a single swipe. 

The Witnesses were the heart. How they were always there for each other. They came as a PAIR. You cannot kill one. That undermines every moment that one saved, supported or protected the other. All those “destinies entwined, we found each other, I do what you do, we will always be certain” moments have been undermined by her death. They’ve killed the beating heart of it, the bond that we’ve all been there for. 

If Nicole wanted out, they should have thought about the whole point of the show and either let them both live and ended it, or killed them both and ended it, or even killed them both and moved one with two new witnesses. ANY of that would have been better than killing one and leaving one alive, because that’s not what we’ve been here for over the last 3 years. 

The Witnesses, together, are the show. They’re a matched pair, a set, for better or worse. By killing Abbie and leaving Ichabod to carry on, they’ve stabbed the heart of the show and made every wonderful partnership moment meaningless. 

I am in awe that I cared more about the integrity of the show and the characters than the writers. But that’s fixed now, because I regret ever watching it. That is how much the death of Abbie Mills has soured me on the entire universe. I don’t even want to read fanfic. I am forever ruined on this show and its world. I never thought they could manage that, but god damn, they did. 

Goodbye Sleepy Hollow. And fuck you. (ANd if you’re renewed, and the new witness is white, I hope you all drop your genitals into a blender bye)

Dance at the Maker’s Feet

A small piece of work I made during pauses between E3 conferences, waiting for DA4 announce.

And still there was none. Bioware, this is unfair and the purest suffering.

P.S. too hyped for Fen ”The Big Bad Wolf” Harel boss fight in front of Golden/Black City gates, ohh yeaahh

I dug through some old boxes. I don’t have a lot of stuff from the old days, but I did find this. I thought you might want to know more about who you are, where you came from.

So many media creators don’t realize they have incredible power.

They think it’s a game. An entertainment. A trifle.

They don’t see that they make the world. They give people hope, despair, a reason to get through one more week. They give us a chance to see ourselves – emotionally or physically – on screen.

They think their vision matters more than the people who watch. Who pay them their salaries. Who care until it hurts.

I think my finale takeaway to the Sleepy Hollow writers is this: You mattered to people.

Maybe you thought your show was stupid. But God, it mattered.

And you hurt people tonight. And with your casual cruelties to Nicole over the last two seasons. 

Whether it’s The 100 or The Walking Dead or Sleepy Hollow, what we see on our screen matters so much. 

Maybe it’s just a job to you. But you are causing true harm. 

“So I’ve been trying to get it made since then.”

For sure, Sophie was gonna be the new witness. So sad because I liked her but now... Yuck. And that's also why we never knew who she actually was or what her purpose was.

If they made Jenny the next witness possibly because it would make more sense rather than replacing the character, I think the show could have a chance. I’m sure the writers could come up with some bullshit about how sisters are entwined through the apocalypse and bloodlines and shit. They pulled off Abbies death quick and clumsily, I’m sure they could do this. THEN maybe, I would continue to watch the show. Cause Jennys cool, and I wouldn’t mind her taking the lead. It would make sense, because the two people they loved most, are gone. Otherwise, not a chance
