I miss that a lot too. Admittedly, it wasn't what attracted me to the series in the first place. Having a black female lead and two supporting black characters was what attracted me. I'm black so it means a lot to me. It is quite rare to see and their characters were so great, so it sucks to see. hem all shafted for Crane Family Drama. Don't get me wrong, I like almost all of the characters in the series and the relationship between Ichabod and Abbie was fantastic. But those were my main readon for getting in. Plus, Orlando Jones.

And it absolutely sucks that they've got no idea what to do with Katrina as a character. She could be a legimately awesome character, but they're wasting her. She's been almost killed twice this season? She barely has anything to do. She is stuck in that cabin again. Which, fine, she could be a great spy for the Witnesses sake but so far, she doesn't use it to her full potential. And it seems to be used mostly as a way for The Headless Horseman to moon over her. Plus, she eavesdrops like a five year old.

You know, I enjoyed Ichabod being tied to every major historical figure of the Revolution days. It means we got awesome commentary, like that bit in season one about Jefferson owning slaves and fathering children with Sally Hemings. Ichabod's view of him being shattered was hilarious. Or that Franklin was a bit of dick who was full of himself. And I still enjoy his ties to historical figures, but it does feel like everything is tied to just him amd Katrina. The universe does feel smaller.

Maybe they could bring Luke back? I liked him well enough. But yeah, I miss how Abbie was a central character. And god, I didn't realize just how many thoughts I had on this show. I'm not obsessed with it. I just watch it week to week so I didn't think I'd be this disappointed/frustrated with it

That's as good a reason as any! And you're right, Sleepy Hollow does indeed have a solid, diverse cast and it was delightful and different... Until those actors got shafted. I see where you're coming from, and most the fandom seems to feel the same. I hope the writers have something interesting in store for the latter part of this season, because if this keeps up I wouldn't be surprised if the show was canceled. It isn't the same.

It is frustrating because like you said, she could be awesome! There's plenty of exciting things you could do with a witch, but she's got none of that. Her spying is indeed sad, and she rarely does anything helpful. We keep hearing how powerful and efficient she is, but we aren't seeing it. It's dumb.

I too enjoy the fun commentary on historical figures that Ichabod provides, it's the apocalypse being linked back to him and his past time and time again that begins to wear on me. Not everyone could be in on this shit...

Oh, I almost forgot about Luke! He was cute. They could do something with that, and now I wish he would show back up again (hasn't it been since last season?). I won't hold my breath, though.

Sleepy Hollow is one of those shows I don't think of a lot when I'm not watching it, but I enjoy it deeply (or at least I DID) and it tends to be one of the few shows I'm always up to date on. If I'm backed up on TV, I'll usually catch up with it first; it was great fun. I've been complaining about it to my mother, but other than reblogging a post here and there I'm not part of the fandom. My enthusiasm on this topic is slightly unexpected as well.
