There are not enough facepalms in the hemisphere for this.

Hello there sane person. :lol I love me some headless horseman but firing automatic rifles draped in ammo? wtf? I also don't understand how they would get multiple seasons from the legend without turning it into some kind of Law and Order Headless Horseman Unit thing.
 
****ers kill Clancy Brown in the first episode? There goes my reason for watching.

No kidding! How can you kill of Clancy Brown in the first episode. :mad: It does look interesting though, I think..though it seems it would be better suited as a miniseries or something.
 
Let me try and explain the plot to someone who hasn't seen the trailer.

200 years ago, during the Revolutionary war, a gimp mask wearing warrior wreaks havoc on the battlefield, until President appointed soldier, Icabod Crane is sent to...kill him....and so he cuts off his head. But falls asleep for 200 years.

And he wakes up in the modern world, and gets locked up. All the while Mr. Horseman arrives as well, but he's also one of the four horsemen of the apocolypse, and he once again wreaks havoc, killing Officer Clancy Brown. Then he gets guns, and begins to shoot people in the face.

Officer lady, and Officer Orlando Jones and Officer Harold team up with poor "crazy" Crane, and track down this gun toting headless man...and then they have to find the treasure or something left by the founding fathers.

Man. That felt like a fake idea writing it.
 
That's what I got from the trailer.


Official plot...I guess.

What if you suddenly woke up from the throes of death 250 years in the future to find the world is on the brink of destruction, caused by unimaginable events, and you are humanity’s last hope? Welcome to SLEEPY HOLLOW, the thrilling new mystery-adventure drama from co-creators/executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (“Star Trek and “Transformers”franchises, “Fringe”).

In this modern-day retelling of Washington Irving’s classic, ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison, “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen”) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Revived alongside Ichabod is the infamous Headless Horseman who is on a murderous rampage in present-day Sleepy Hollow.

Bound to the Headless Horseman by a blood spell cast on the battlefield of the American Revolution, Ichabod quickly realizes that stopping Headless is just the beginning, as the resurrected rider is but the first of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. As this re-invented Ichabod finds himself in present-day Sleepy Hollow, he discovers a town and a world he no longer recognizes. All that is brutally familiar are Headless and Ichabod’s determination to annihilate this immortal being.

It’s a mission he must complete quickly, as Headless already has viciously slain Sheriff AUGUST CORBIN (guest star Clancy Brown, “Cowboys & Aliens,” “Carnivale”). Grey served both as mentor and father figure to Detective ABBIE MILLS (Nicole Beharie, “Shame,” “American Violet”), a young cop whose own supernatural experiences help her form an unlikely bond with Ichabod. But Sleepy Hollow’s head of police, Captain FRANK IRVING (Orlando Jones, “The Chicago 8,” “Drumline”), isn’t buying any of this. In fact, the only person who is on Abbie’s side is Ichabod. His extensive first-hand knowledge of our secret American history, coupled with her superior profiling and modern threat assessment skills, will make them a formidable duo as they work together to triumph over evil.

The complex pasts of Ichabod and Abbie, from Ichabod’s inclusion in the powerful and secretive Freemasons Society and the ghostly appearance of his late wife, KATRINA (Katia Winter, “Dexter”), to Abbie’s childhood visions, will help them solve the intricate puzzles of Sleepy Hollow in order to protect its future. As history repeats itself, the oddly-linked pair will draw on the real stories and hallowed secrets this nation was founded on in their quest to stop an increasingly vicious cycle of evil.
 
Yeah...not understanding the hate. It's an outlandish idea but the footage shown in the trailer looked very good.
