Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww man! Talk about ending the episode at the worst possible time. So, Crane and Abbie are able to finally "catch" and trap the Headless Horseman and then.......fade to black, roll credits. Ack!!! Not cool!! Anyway, some really funny moments in this episode and naturally it's Crane behind everyone of them. Is computer "skills" is pretty damn funny....random hunt and peck typing if you will. I also thought it was funny how he got his first taste of internet  p o r n  too. Hahaha. Bring on the next episode! I need to see the conclusion of this!!!

It makes perfect sense why UV Lights would stop him dead in his tracks. Marcus Van Sciver IS the Headless Horseman! Ha. Inside joke tracing back to Blade The Series. Pretty good "origin" story showing how The Headless Horseman came into being and how he is tied into Crane and more importantly.....his wife.

Well, we finally find out how Abbie and Crane are connected. It's revealed that Abbie is the descendant of Grace Dixon who helped Katrina give birth to her son.....Crane's son that is. So, Abbie and Crane's destiny was foreseen right from the beginning. What's great about the show and this episode is that with a series like Sleepy Hollow, any 'Thanksgiving' episode is still going to feel like Halloween. Not sure what the 'Monster' was called.....Tree Man? Twig Man? Branch Man? Plant Man? Whatever the name, there were parts of it that reminded me of Swamp Thing.

I liked the look and design of the Golem. Too bad this one just one appearance before its demise. Yay for John Nobel's return as Henry 'the Sin Eater'. I wasn't sure if he would be coming back. At the end of the episode, it's pretty much written out that he will be a recurring character, helping Crane and Abbie on their journey. I don't expect him to be in every episode, but it's nice knowing there is more to come from him.

Sleepy Hollow has a lot of elements of the Horror genre working for it. The title character dictates that after all. But in the first 10 episodes, it may come across as being 'sanitize' for broadcast TV. Maybe it has to do with FOX not wanting (or can't) to push the envelope a bit further. That is until now. The Vessel is definitely on the right track here. It's not gory or anything and I don't think it needs to be that to claim itself as 'Horror'. But The Vessel itself is the closest thing to a true Horror episode that takes a page right out of Fallen with demonic possession and the ability to jump from one host to another. I thought the pacing was fantastic in this episode. The FX were great and it just played extremely well overall. Lyndie Greenwood did an awesome job with her scene being possessed. Same goes for Amandla Stenberg. Also great to see Clancy Brown. I hope there are more episodes with him in the future.

Yo Mac, you're probably not watching this, but I do think you will definitely enjoy this particular episode as it's right in your wheelhouse. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed at all.

Solid Season Finale that has a couple of good twist. The first twist was having it that only a soul can release a soul from purgatory. That meant that Abbie would have to stay behind in order for Katrina to escape. I kinda actually saw this coming given the fact that Abbie needed to confront her fear head on. But the biggest twist was the revelation that the Sin Eater (John Noble) is not only one of the four horsemen, but is the son of Crane and Katrina. Now THAT I didn't see coming. The cliffhanger has him burying Crane in the same hole in the ground that the Sin Eater emerged from.
