(Historical Notes: See, this is another thing. This is a perfectly valid bit of exposition necessary to establish what all’s going on, but at this point it’s just TOO much standing around and talking. If we’d cut away to somebody[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
(Historical Notes: See, this is what I was complaining about. Ichabod makes these big dramatic “end of the episode” moments out of declaring he’s gonna do something, then IMMEDIATELY starts talking himself out of it, and back again, all due[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

(Historical Notes: It can definitely be abused if you’re not careful, but I do think there’s benefit in having characters occasionally do something just… because. Not EVERYTHING has to be part of some greater plan or all-consuming character motivation. That’s[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
