Can You Imagine This Sleepy Hollow Writers?
If you go to your favorite restaurant and order your favorite dish, I can only assume that you are happy and expectant and looking forward to enjoying a good meal, just as SH viewers were happy and expectant when they tuned in to Ragnarok, the SH Season Finale. The waiter brings out the food and places it before you with a flourish. You, the waiter, your dining companions at the table are smiling and eager for the enjoyment of a good meal, just as SH fans were eager to embrace the SH Season Finale. Suddenly a tiny baby mouse comes scurrying out from under the beautifully arranged salad greens. Everyone recoils in shock and horror because you have just been served a rodent. So what, Sleepywriters, would be the appropriate thing for the restaurant management to do and say after this alarming incident? From the recent responses to the Sleepy Hollow controversy, if SleepyWriters were in charge this is what we could probably expect them to say:
a. Why don’t you have your birthday celebration here because we have more good food to serve?
b. Don’t criticize us because you don’t know what we are going through behind the scenes in the kitchen.
c. You’re not a chef. Why should we listen to your complaints about one little mouse?
d. We thought it was a beautifully prepared meal. The mouse thing was not our fault
e. Say nothing. Just hide in the kitchen waiting for the customers to shut up and leave.
f. Entire staff meets in the kitchen. All pat each other on the back for the good job they are doing
g. Ignore the customer who got a plate full of mouse while sending free drinks to the customers who are not complaining because they are the “real” customers who matter.
This mouse scenario just addresses the shock and horror of what happened in the season finale. I don’t know if there is any hypothetical that could even begin to describe the other emotions–the anguish, hurt feelings and sense of loss and betrayal that many of us are still experiencing. That is how traumatic this has been. I can imagine that as writers you are shaking your heads saying “It’s just a TV show and Abbie is just a TV character.” Tragically, after all this time, Fox, the writers and producers all have failed to grasp that Sleepy Hollow and Abbie Mills meant so much more. That is one of the more disturbing aspects of this entire controversy.
