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.

some random: how long are you going to be bitter about sleepy hollow?

a moment of silence for nicole beharie, stana katic, katie cassidy and all the other ‘leading ladies’ who got screwed over by the network/showrunners
Have you ever just watched an hour of television that managed to both entertain you and also leave you going… “meh”? That is what this episode was like for me. Whether it’s Papa Mills, the development of Ichabbie or the lethargy of watching Pandora be relegated to abused spouse, everything needs to pick up momentum and FAST. While it did contain several actually spot-on character beats, it was a giant plot-furthering device. But you know what? It was enjoyable plot-furthering. Recap below!
