Reblog if you are Team Ichabbie
Showrunner killing off a minority character: Oh yes, I am aware of the trope, it's such a terrible thing how minorities are treated, but on Our show, it's not playing into that trope. We had to stay true to our vision, and it happened because of story reasons, so while we know it's a problem, our show is different.
Me: *looks into the camera like I am on The Office*
show writers: who are you?
fanfic writers: i'm you but stronger
For sure, Sophie was gonna be the new witness. So sad because I liked her but now... Yuck. And that's also why we never knew who she actually was or what her purpose was.
If they made Jenny the next witness possibly because it would make more sense rather than replacing the character, I think the show could have a chance. I’m sure the writers could come up with some bullshit about how sisters are entwined through the apocalypse and bloodlines and shit. They pulled off Abbies death quick and clumsily, I’m sure they could do this. THEN maybe, I would continue to watch the show. Cause Jennys cool, and I wouldn’t mind her taking the lead. It would make sense, because the two people they loved most, are gone. Otherwise, not a chance
I hope you're right
So after tonight’s episode, and having thought through my initial feelings on it, I feel like this Danabbie thing is a parallel to the Zoe thing. She pointed out to Crane he was ready for more just not with her and I believe Daniel is going to come to the same conclusion. Bear with me, I have evidence to support my speculation.
In the preview pics we got for the next episode, there are a couple of Danabbie and one of Ichabbie that make me think that things are not going to be roses and sunshine for Abbie and Danny:
Pic number one:
This is not a happy face. They are having a conversation Abbie wasn’t expecting or wasn’t ready for. I’m thinking he really saw how her and Crane are together and he got it, even as she remains in denial.
Pic number two:
Looks like Danny is pointing out, like Zoe that he is not the one she really wants, which would also show immense character development for him. He’s been a bit self centered this whole season but him helping her realize her happiness lies elsewhere (hint hint Crane). Abbie also appears to be reluctantly accepting his conclusion. Still maybe not ready to turn to Crane but maybe more open to the idea than before.
Pic number three:
And lastly, but certainly not least, Crane seeming to sense things have not gone the way his fellow witness may have hoped. Abbie appears upset and resigned while he looks concerned.
I’m still not ready to accept, especially with all of the ship baiting we have been getting in 3b, that setting the stage for Ichabbie is not the endgame. Whether we will actually get it this season or, if there is a fourth season, I still have hope Ichabbie could still be endgame.
They are just too adorable.
Mark Henderson is just waiting for people to talk shit about Richonne on Facebook.
This is the one that’s bad and the only one that will contribute directly to my dropping a show from my viewing rotation. Per THR, Nicole Beharie’s Abbie sacrificed herself in the third season finale largely because Beharie wanted out of the yet-to-be-renewed Fox drama. But if Beharie wanted out, it was largely because in the long gap between the first and second seasons, the writers lost track of how to handle the core of the show, which was the Abbie/Ichabod relationship. And I put the names in that order for a reason. To me, it was Abbie’s show. Ichabod was the wacky and lovable time-traveler. The various robots and Kyle Reese are not the stars of the Terminator franchise. Sarah Connor is. Abbie was Sarah Connor, she was the character grounded in the real world whose life was turned upside down by the discovery that these supernatural forces, forces Ichabod always knew all about, were real. Sleepy Hollow was Abbie’s story and the decision to give up her life and her soul to stop this season’s apocalyptic event shouldn’t have been required of her…
Why Did So Many Female Characters Die on TV Last Week?
I really like this point about Terminator being Sarah Connor’s story in the same way Sleepy Hollow is Abbie Mills’. It’s disheartening that the Sleepy Hollow writers themselves were among the people that didn’t understand this.
