Written, list style, while watching.
- The introduction in which Crane explains who he is? So Highlander.
- In the best use of product placement I've yet to see on television, Crane brings an On Star operator to tears with his eloquence.
- Meanwhile, Abbie's sister Jennifer is loose and being sought by (a) Abbie and Crane, and (b) some scary other dudes. German? They torture and kill people anyway. (More beheadings!)
- I'm kind of bored now . . .
- Turns out Jenny and Sheriff Corbin were cozy, though.
- Starting to think Crane should host one of those radio talk shows where people call in with relationship problems or whatever. Oooh, like LaCroix on Forever Knight!
- Jenny was tasked by Corbin to keep an old sextant safe. But Crane recognizes as it as something from the Revolutionary War, a weapon. (Insert National Treasure-type lecture/flashback about the war.) Ah! But the "Hessian" bit explains the Germans.
- The sextant works as a projector. With an old map of Sleepy Hollow, showing the location of . . . a chest?
- Jesus, aim for the freaking tires! Don't they teach this in . . . sheriff school or whatever it's called?
- Oh, but the bad guys got the sextant.
- I should do all my posts in lists. It's way easier than writing paragraphs.
- This is kind of like Indy versus the Nazis now.
- The episode title is explained as referring to a book of magic written by King Solomon, something about summoning 72 demons, yada, yada, yada.
- How is it no one in Sleepy Hollow has noticed they have neighbors with German accents? I mean, my friend who is from the Netherlands and has lived here a decade has less of an accent than these guys. So these guys who have lived in Sleepy Hollow all these years . . . And they still have these accents?
- Moloch. Um, okay. Tell him to take a number. We got demons and lesser gods lined up already.
- Oh, lucky Crane has a photographic memory. Guess they don't need the sextant after all.
- The Germans have the box. And the book. And it looks like they carry a handy demon-raising kit with them as well.
- Solomon was Jewish, right? I feel like there should be a minyan or something required to raise demons. Two German dudes really doesn't cut it.
- Some unimpressive fighting.
- The book gets thrown into the flaming pit of birthing demons . . . And somehow that stops them? Weak dénouement.
- Revelation 11. Abbie tells Jenny she [Abbie] and Crane are the "two witnesses." (But what if they're not? Are we taking this on faith? Just wondering.)
- Sister moment. Abbie offers to try and get Jenny out of the loony hutch. (After Jenny broke out? Are they really going to allow that?)
- Milton. (Didn't we all know that already? Moloch --> Paradise Lost? No? Just me? Okay.)
- I just wanted to end on an even number. Good night.
