a moment of silence for nicole beharie, stana katic, katie cassidy and all the other ‘leading ladies’ who got screwed over by the network/showrunners
Abbie Mills deserves better
Season 1: In this show, Ichabod Crane and Abigail Mills are chosen to be witnesses. These witnesses will fight together to stop the horseman and the end of days but only with the help each other. This show will follow their journeys and battles together.
Fans: Awesome this so interesting! and Tom and Nicole have amazing chemistry! This is gonna be amazing!
Season 2: The end of days is coming but neither witness can do anything about it until Crane fixes his issues with his wife Katrina (who is now incredibly important to the story) and his 50 year old son.
Fans: But what about Abbie and Team Witness?
Season 2: Whose Abbie?
Season 3: The witnesses dont have to just be Crane and Abbie, it can be anyone in their bloodline
Fans: Uuuhhh no. its supposed to be Crane and Abbie thats what you said.
Season 3: Well now we are saying this
Season 3: Also Abbie is no longer needed as a witness
Fans: What?
Season 3: So we are gonna kill her
Fans: WHAT?!
Season 3: What? her only job was to help Crane fufill his destiny
Fans: SINCE WHEN?!
Season 3: Since now!
Fans: WHY?!
Season 3: BECAUSE ! SAID SO THATS WHY!!
Sleepy Hollow Preview: “Incident at Stone Manor” » Abbie Mills
The problem is that characters can grow and change over time. Except on this show. Because the writers are bad but think they’re so clever. The best friends thing could have been done. Crane could have had a powerful and capable wife who had powers that added to their struggle as Witnesses. Abbie could have had Danny as her guy on the inside of law enforcement. Or Frank Irving could still be with us. They just don’t see it. And they think it’s more fun to play these games. I wish I had such a big platform on which to tell people screw you.
the reason this one feels different is because abbie had one trait that none of the others had. she was the hero of the story.
even if you don’t think there’s a vile strain of homophobia running through the industry at the moment, whether or not you believe women of color are woefully underrepresented on tv, no matter what your feelings about about misogyny as a motivator for people’s actions, you cannot deny a crap load of women have died on tv lately.
but abbie’s different, because she was the hero of the story and the story ends when the hero dies.
and for a show to kill its hero and go on without her, what they’re really telling people is she was never really the hero. it literally doesn’t matter why they did it. it just does. not. matter. because they’ve told us now that in the story they’re telling, abbie was so unimportant that they could do without her.
fuck you, sleepy hollow.

The funniest Star Wars twist would be if instead of a family-reveal it was a not-family-reveal where Kylo Ren finds out he’s adopted and not even related to Darth Vader at all
