This morning I went on tumblr to see what posts people had on Pittura Infamate, and almost half of them were complaining about Katrina and how she should just die. I do admit that Sleepy Hollow has not given Katrina the best story lines and I personally am not a fans of broken marriages, and love triangles. Drama meant to create a story basically. Now I don't hate Katrina, but I don't care for her either. To me she is just Crane's wife. I think this hatred stems from the fact people want Ichabbie to happen. Well that, and Katrina's character is kinda all over the place right about now. In Pittura Infamate, it seems that writers have decided to put the Crane drama aside and put them on a date together at a historical society dinner. Naturally someone is murdered and the Cranes have to solve it. That made an interesting crime solving duo and something different from the usual Ichabod and Abbie. At least Katrina was not completely useless this week right? And Abbie did save the day in the end.
On the other side of the episode, Frank Irving returns to the station, where Abbie learns that he is now back. Oh let's be honest, the fact that his character was not used well and the fact he wasn't taken out of the credits was a big hint that he was coming back. That and Orlando Jones was still doing interviews on the set for Sleepy Hollow. Not a big shocker Sleepy Hollow wanted it to be. I do respect though that Sleepy Hollow made Abbie be cautious around Irving due to the issue of his soul being owned by Henry (whom I'm pretty sure is pulling strings from somewhere).
So let's get to the important bits of Pittura Infamate that we should really look at. Well first of all, it basically side lined that silly "I wanna save the horseman" storyline. Like that would work. He would probably just end up murdered or a psychopath. So sending Katrina and Ichabod on a case of solving the murdering painting was a nice adventure. I am also glad that Pittura Infamate didn't drag out figuring out who was the murderer, in addition this time not looking to Ichabod's past but rather Katrina's. Although they did seem a bit convenient. I mean, aren't the Cranes the most networked people ever (considering how many famous people they knew). As for Abbie, serious respect for arming herself just in case Irving does turn out to be a monster. She is not letting her friend become a monster and hurting people despite her personal feelings. She is probably right since there is like an 80% chance Irving is going to be doing some bad things soon.
So on a scale from Yay to Ugh, Pittura Infamate was a Meh. To it's credit, it is probably the calm before the storm. I hope. I just really hope Sleepy Hollow get's its shit together for it's final 5 episodes of the season. A this rate, I'm not even considering buying season 2 when it comes out on DVD. There is this interesting article on tv.com on how Fox is killing Sleepy Hollow that does bring up some interesting points. So hopefully Fox learns from it's mistakes and fixes it or you might end up losing the fandom. The same can be said for the chances of renewal which is sad and messes up Sleepy Hollow's seven year plan. Also Sleepy Hollow, please fix Ichabod's hair. The bun is a no no, and his hair down is a treat, not something that should be done all the time. This could be just me though.
What did you think of Pittura Infamate? What do you think can fix Sleepy Hollow's problems? What is your favorite hair style for Ichabod?
