I really enjoyed the premiere. So good to have the show back!
The fake out beginning was fun. I did figure out it had to be fake fairly early. At least, I had a hint. But I'll be honest in saying I wasn't sure if it was fake or if the writers were going to just write themselves out of the cliffhanger that way for a fair amount of time. But the reveal was fun. John Noble in full-on bad guy mode is a sight to behold, of course.
With Abby trapped in purgatory, it was fun to see Jenny and Ichabod team up. I didn't quite know where they were going to go with the dynamics here with Jenny coming on board full time. But I like it. I mean, Abby/Ichabod are the team I like seeing the most, but I can see Jenny finding a place for herself. Unlike...
Katrina. How do you solve a problem like Katrina. Despite being in the credits all last season, she did next to nothing in the actual series. She continues to do nothing, having gone from being trapped one place to being trapped another. Frankly, it feels like she only exists to keep Abby and Ichabod apart. Which, I'm okay with because I don't WANT them getting together. But I feel like she could do so off screen.
Still, this had pretty much everything I wanted from an episode of Sleepy Hollow, so I was very satisfied overall.
P.S. - The Horseman has a creepily good body. LOL.
P.S.S. - Flaming Sword/Empty Suit War is such a cool visual.
