If this was April, I'd say "yay".  However, seeing how the new promos downplay the presence of metahumans in the series and that J. August Richards is only confirmed to be in the pilot, this show has only one shot to sell me and show me that they are actually going to put some D-List heroes/villians in the show from time to time like "Arrow".

I have very little hope for any NBC based shows. But we will see.

It looks terrible. Looks like something that would get canned after five episodes.

No, Sleepy Hollow is something that's going to get canned after a few episodes. This actually looks all right.

If they can spin it to be like Heroes season 1 then Yay. I actually expect this show to flop though.

They need to have cameos from some of the Marvel Superheroes to get me interested.

If it's just a glorified X-Files, I'll bail out early.

Yes and I thought the pilot was great up until...

[spoiler] The headless horseman broke into that dude's apartment and started using firearms. I'm all for fantasy but that was RIDICULOUS. [/spoiler]

The plot seems cool enough, but that ruined it for me.

I'm going to DVR it, then watch it at my leisure.  Looks like it could be really cheesy, but who knows.

It's a cool take on the Sleepy Hollow legend but they could have left that part out and made it a bit more serious. People like the supernatural. They should have taken some notes from Supernatural itself. It knows when to be serious, and it knows when to be funny.

Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying. I don't think there was anything like that in last night's episode though. I guess they're trying to emphasize the whole time-travel aspect of it by giving the horseman modern weaponry. And by the end of the season I assume Ichabod will be using it too as well to take him down.

I might be the only one who thinks so, but that sounds like a pretty promising concept. You wouldn't want it to be the central concept of the show, but it could be used really well, I think.

Good luck getting Samuel L. Jackson to do a TV show at a salary that would allow them to make a profit.

Unless they said screw it and bought back David Hasselhoff as Nick Fury...

The premise of the show being based in the MCU, but not mentioning and barely referencing the players in it while skirting around the basic mythos (heroes and villains) is like making a TV series about Indiana Jones' students at his uni solving crimes in their town and every once and a while talking about the adventures "their teacher" gets into for about 5 seconds.

Enjoyed it. Some mediocre acting and too fast paced, but witty dialogue and everyone seems to be having a lot of fun. Very much a Whedon show.

Truthfully I didn't think it was that good. Seemed to not know what type of show it wants to be. They had the cool spy agent "Ward", that ended up feeling tacky. The quirky/funny extremely hot girl hacker. Tough as nails Asian lady, you would not mess with. 2 science geeks and the sympathetic father. It felt like trying to be a drama, comedy and action all at once. Didn't work for me. Coulson was the only good part on that show. If they get more minor Marvel characters I think it would be better. Arrow is much better, it was dark and went on the realistic side.

So that was fairly decent. Witty dialogue, okay action, something to do Coulson that keeps us invested enough to tune in next week. I guess we will see if this show pans out or gets cancelled early.

I would've been interested in it if it was animated. I don't get why companies are so afraid to make a non comedy animated show for adults in the west.

Got this set to record later tonight.

Speaking of which, it looks like FOX is gonna come up with their own primetime comic book tv show based on the Batman universe, called Gotham.  It focuses on the early days of Comissioner Gordon.

Now that sounds like something promising.
