    I actually enjoyed his storyline but I wonder what will they do now. Act as he died or went away?

    And the actress who plays jenny is in a cw pilot so she might not return either. Or be used less than she was last season if that's even possible.

    I guess they will say he moved far away with his family or maybe he will never get mentioned again, I wouldn't be surprised with this show.

    That news really sucks :(. I liked him.
    Way to add to the rocky uncertainty around a third season. I'm happy to have the show coming back and see the characters I love that are still there, but it'll be interesting to see how they continue to handle these changes as time goes on.

    NO! We can't lose Jenny, too! Agh! Is it bad I hope that pilot fails?

    Unbelievable. I would have preferred they kept Frank instead of Jenny, but that's just my opinion.

    Truthfully I wouldn't bother, I mean I stuck with it but it was a mess and whilst I will give S3 a chance my expectations are low.

  25. Babar SuhailMay 4, 2015 at 9:03 PM

    Then that's no big deal, because it is supposed to have only one lead, Kris Lemche. She's probably just guest starring in the pilot.

  26. Babar SuhailMay 4, 2015 at 9:05 PM

    That show has only one lead and she'll probably be only guest starring.

  28. AngelaMay 4, 2015 at 9:05 PM

    Ohhhhhhh, that's what she's supposed to be in?
    Yeah, I'd heard potential positive things...as someone else noted, if there's supposed to be one main lead character, though, and she's just guesting in the pilot, that I could be okay with. But if she were a regular, then I'd be very nervous.

    ReplyDelete
  29. LouMay 4, 2015 at 9:07 PM

    I didn't mind the character to begin with but I hated how he replaced Jenny so many times where her character could have been used. It seemed redundant, you have someone who can find magical artifacts and is a badass and has genuine stakes in what is happening, why use the new guy all the time instead. It seemed especially weird as Jenny was made a regular in S2 then misused.

  30. LouMay 4, 2015 at 9:08 PM

    True, sometimes you have to let go of the shows that just frustrate you and stay with the ones you can enjoy.

    I can never hate/dislike any character played by matt,so i'm biased but you do have a solid point.Jenny was seriously underutilized this season,i didn't like that.

  33. LouMay 4, 2015 at 9:13 PM

    I think he was fine in the role but I wished they had used him more with Jenny or Frank rather than instead of them, that would had made a nicer dynamic.

  39. AngelaMay 4, 2015 at 9:24 PM

    Considering all the stuff I've heard about how FOX is struggling as a network overall, that sadly doesn't surprise me. Sucks that good shows have to bear the brunt of those struggles.

    They lost tax incentives in NC so they moved production to Atlanta. I wonder what cost them more? Moving the entire production or Orlando's salary? Not a fan of this. (I live in NC so I'm really not happy) No more walking down the street to see New Hanover Courthouse shut down for filming. No more River Walk. Ugh. I hate it.

  42. julioMay 4, 2015 at 9:35 PM

    He pretty much replaced jenny and he was interested in a abbie one day then when he got rejected he went with jenny, since he couldn't have one sister he just got the other sister. The writers thought ohhh let's add a hot guy to the cast but we didnt need any of that we wanted good storytelling instead of hawleys mess of a character.

  43. julioMay 4, 2015 at 9:36 PM

    Thank you I hated that he replaced jenny. I wouldn't be surprised if the actress did decide to leave the show since she didn't have much to do in season 2.

    It's logical. They didn't know how to use his character properly and it wasn't the same show we loved for its first season. He's too good to be wasted there.

  51. maclivesMay 4, 2015 at 10:13 PM

    It's not like this show is not going to turn into a shipping focused love-snooz drama full of Ichabbie moments featuring hours of "I don't get this [insert new invention]" with her answering in some snarky way.


    In fact...why not cut the headless horseman too? I mean....it's about the soulless showrunners, not the mystery

  52. maclivesMay 4, 2015 at 10:14 PM

    They already got rid of two leads, if their budget drops deep enough to prohibit a fourth regular they might produce the show for a sandwich and a coke

    This is a huge let down. Although I don’t know what the plan for season three is specifically, the writers sidelined Irving for a good chunk of season two. I was expecting some sort of way they could integrate him back into the storyline of season three.

    His character was worthless anyway. I think if anything it will improve the show's chances.

    I can only imagine your frustration. I would be very annoyed if they moved production if I lived that close to it.


    They probably moved the production to save money and maybe Orlando's salary was just too high. Perhaps, and of course this is only speculation, maybe they had to trim down there budget if they wanted a Season 3.

    They killed off all hope I had when they started fan pandering and made Katrina evil out of the blue. I hope Orlando Jones gets a new gig that's worthy of him.

    Didn't they turn Katrina into a villain in the end in a really contrived way.

  66. maclivesMay 5, 2015 at 1:58 AM

    Yeah,


    step 1 of shipper appeasement: turn the characters romantic interest into a villain and thus uneligable for romance, making it perfectly fine for the shipped couple to hook up

    As much as Robbie Thompson loves him, I wouldn't be surprised to see him guest on an episode next season.

    Unless they do it's not appeasement. It's just kill off the scrappy. It could just be that. Depends on where three goes.

  69. maclivesMay 5, 2015 at 2:06 AM

    looking at the way the writers handled social media in the past and paved the way I doubt that it won't happen.


    Season 3 is the last, we all know that so....it'll happen I guess (but I hope it won't)

    I would be really good with that. I would also love if someone gave Mark Sheppard, Tim Omundson, and Orlando Jones a show. I think they would be awesome together.

    ReplyDelete
  72. maclivesMay 5, 2015 at 2:14 AM

    Yeah, 2 was....a weird follow up to 1. I mean, season 1 didn't hold my interest for long either but 2 really proved that this show has nowhere to go but down.


    The premise is limited and would only offer good writers material for more

  73. InvisiGhostMay 5, 2015 at 3:07 AM

    I never really cared for the direction they ended up taking his character in to begin with..guess he didnt either maybe...they def will have to step it up some if they want to keep their fan base as this show has been half and half hit and miss..

    Losing Irving is a pity. But on the bright side at least we didn't lose Ichabod Crane. I like Toms acting style and the occasional jokes. Will give it a go, to see how it goes. Not giving up on Sleepy Hollow, just yet!

  77. Folie-lexMay 6, 2015 at 12:04 AM

    I don't watch the show, but I've gathered he's quite a popular character, so that doesn't seem good....

  78. Dexter MoreganMay 7, 2015 at 6:00 AM

    It's ok for me and he's not a factor in the mission of Ichabod and Abbie. So, cutting him off don't affect to the story.

    On the other hand, let Katrina die is not ok since she has an important role to help the witness but Mark kill her for nonsense reason!
