Abbie's reaction shots as he skidded all over the parking lot had me laughing out loud! The rest was definitely "eh, okay" for me. Although, I did find Frank's vision seriously disturbing. It was weird seeing something so 'Call of Duty' on this show, when everything else has been so period piece. It somehow made it all the more shuddery to see him dressed in that manner, killing everyone in sight.<br /><br />Another non-shipper! Woot! We may be the minority 'round these parts, Katerina, but at least we are not alone. I agree that a close friendship between a man and a woman is no less meaningful, and yet sadly underrepresented in our pop culture. I'm certainly not immune to falling for particular couples in shows. I've swooned over many, many romantic pairings over the years. But I do get frustrated by the way <i>any</i> time a man and a woman are paired up as partners, or show any sign of friendship and alliance, people seem to want them to become romantic. "Hey! That man and that woman shared a smile and a laugh. They must become a couple!"<br /><br />I'm not saying I have a problem with folks rooting for Abbie and Ichabod to become a couple, because I totally understand why you might want that. I just wish close friendship between straight men and straight women was better represented in our stories, in general. So when I see a potentially good example, I tend to cling to it. :)Jess Lyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14165015932507376656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-62238278407039067502014-10-23T00:57:12.964-04:002014-10-23T00:57:12.964-04:00While not among the best episodes, it's still ...While not among the best episodes, it's still always fun to see the character interactions, and I'd be happy watching Ichabod do the dishes. :) Maybe I'm in the minority, but I just don't see him and Abby as a couple. I see them as very good friends and partners -a different kind of very close relationship, and no less meaningful.Katerinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708733194258917064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-80595385084423792752014-10-20T21:31:17.970-04:002014-10-20T21:31:17.970-04:00Loved the cappuccino scene as well.

What a lovely sentiment.<br /><br />Agree that Hawley was not as pleasant this time out. I am, however, interested to see where the writers plan to take his character.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.com
