This episode opens with Ichabod running from the headless horseman in the woods. It seems quite apparent that this is a dream when the other three horsemen join in the chase. Crane is cornered, and some vines entangle and trap him. Rather than holding him at bay for the horsemen, he falls through the earth into a cave.

His wife Katrina is there, and tells him they are safe for now. But, the horsemen will unleash the apocalypse, as well as an army of evil that will make way for the horsemen’s arrival. The first of the dark spirits will rise with the blood moon, and she “is one of us”. At this point I felt like I was watching Disney’s A Christmas Carol, and was waiting for Crane to say “Well can’t they just all visit me at one time and get it over with?”

As was expected, this was a dream, and Crane wakes up in a hotel room. He tries to leave, but the officer posted at his door will not let him, and makes him wait for Abbie to arrive.

It’s been awhile since you’ve heard from me.  There just wasn’t much summer TV that I was interested in.  And yes, I am THAT guy who has not watched any Breaking Bad.  But don’t worry, it’s on Netflix instant, so I will get to it at some point.  I mean, I only have like 7 seasons of The X-Files to go.

Over the past year, some strong personal (and I’m sure staff) favorites have been Arrow, American Horror Story, The Walking Dead, Grimm, and The Following.  And have no fear; we will be recapping all of those shows this season.  I also wanted to throw in some new shows for this fall, as there were actually 15 that piqued my interest in one way or another.

But I managed to narrow it down to 4, based on obvious time restraints, as well as what fits well for this site.  So in addition to the 5 “regulars” that I mentioned above, the 4 new fall shows that you be seeing reviewed here every week (for however many weeks they last) are: The 100 (CW), Dracula (NBC), Agents S.H.I.E.L.D. (ABC), and Sleepy Hollow (FOX).

I haven’t decided yet on ABC’s midseason debuting Resurrection.  It seems to have sort of a The 4400 vibe to it.  And the fact that Red Foreman in it is definitely a plus.  So you may be seeing reviews for that one as well.

Prison guard Jordy comes up to a girl at a sorority house, saying that he’d like to secure their doors and windows as a precaution, even if Carroll was already caught. She lets him in, and he suggests that they start in a room at the end of the hallway.

Jordy tells the girl he has studied the house a lot, and pulls out a bag that he threw up there earlier. He calls it his “kit”, and says that it is important to have the right tools. He has been planning this for a long time, and lunges at the girl.

Denise (real name Emma Hill) and the two “gay” neighbors (real names Jacob Wells and Paul Torres) arrive at a house with Claire’s son Joey. She has told Joey that they are on an adventure, and his mother said not to call her.

Hardy is introduced to agent Deborah Parker, the new lead in the investigation. The old lead has been moved off the case for leaving Hardy alone with Carroll in the interrogation room, which led to Hardy breaking three of Carroll’s fingers.

Parker is questioning Hardy about his past when they are informed that there has been another murder. They arrive at the sorority house to find that 3 girls have been killed. The killer was very sloppy, and they are able to determine that is was Jordy based on all the fingerprints.

Season 2 Episode 10 – ‘The Name Game’

This episode of American Horror Story: Asylum focuses on Dr. Arden bringing Kit back from the dead. Kit asks the doctor if “they” came, and Arden tells him they did not. It is actually unclear if they showed up or not, but a flashback shows that Grace reappeared, pregnant and very alive. Arden has hidden her away and looksto experiment. Arden wants to perform an emergency C-Section to see what is inside Grace, but the tools fly out his hands, proving that “they” are indeed always watching.

It turns out that the Angel of Death did not appear to the Monsignor to end his life, but rather to warn him that the devil was inside Sister Mary Eunice. The angel tells the Monsignor that his rosary beads will keep the devil from entering his mind.

A&E is setting up a new series that will serve as a prequel to Hitchcock’s classic Psycho. The new show, Bates Motel, will attempt to tell the tale of how young Norman went from mama’s boy to psychopathic killer and the show has just cast its Norma Bates.

The news comes from Deadline which is reporting that academy award nominated actress Vera Farmiga is set to take on the role:

[Bates Motel] examines the twisted relationship between serial killer-to-be Norman Bates and his mother Norma. Farmiga will play Norma Louise Bates who is described as passionate, and compelling, a smart, multidimensional character who is always capable of surprising us. The Universal TV-produced Bates Motel has a 10-episode straight-to-series order for a 2013 premiere.

Between Bates Motel and Hannibal, it looks like TV execs are very interested in using the TV format to explore the unexplored pasts of some of cinema’s greatest killers. Hopefully the long form nature of a TV series will provide a better venue to tell these tales as opposed to prequel movies that have thus far been very uninspired.

The good news is A&E does have faith in the show as they already ordered it straight to series with out the need for a pilot. So it will have more of a chance to tell its tale sans the ratings pressure that Hannibal will feel over at NBC.

Keep tuned to The Flickcast for more news from the impending series as it gears toward production.
