Sleepy Hollow's "The Kindred"
From Tom&Lorenzo's review of Sleepy Hollow episode 2.02 The Kindred:
"It should probably go without saying, since we and everyone else who ever reviewed this show keep saying it, but the gleefully insane twists and turns of this show are its second biggest selling point (the first being the leads, as we noted in last week’s review). It’s not enough that they came up with the idea of a patchwork man made by Ben Franklin; it’s not enough that they then plopped the head of the legendary headless horseman onto it, but when you take an undead monster constructed by Ben Franklin, add the head of the headless horseman, and then stage a three-way fight between the two owners of the head AND an empty suit of armor with a flaming sword, you win all the gold stars for being the most imaginative TV writers currently working in network TV. Where else are you going to find stuff like this? It’s like Game of Thrones as devised by an 8-year-old high on sugary cereals."
