Jolly good. Let's set her aflame and bury her bones where she'll never find them.

NaBloPomo, Day 10! What's your favorite new Fall 2013 TV show? (If fic exists, share your favorites!)

I do enjoy the Sleepy Hollow. Its premise sounds kinda dumb, I'll give you that, which is why I hadn't intended on watching it in the beginning. But then I kept hearing good things about it, and nothing but good things, so I gave it a shot.

One of the best things about it is the interaction between the two leads. They have fantastic chemistry, and not necessarily in a shippy way either. Not that there's anything wrong with shipping them (and I'm pretty sure the writers are steering them in that direction); there's plenty of fodder for that, but I'm happy with how their friendship and trust strengthens from week to week without throwing romance into the mix just yet.

Also good? That the female lead is fiercely independent and intelligent. She doesn't apologize for kicking ass and taking names, or for having moments of vulnerability. I quite love her.

Sleepy Hollow is my favourite new show this year. I love the silliness, Abbie's sass, Ichabod's everythingcoat and most of all Abbie's and Ichabod's relationship.

I don't ship 'Ichabbie' and I kinda hope they'll never become more than awesome partners in crime. I'd be too afraid they'd stop the banter once they became 'an item' and like with Joan and Sherlock on Elementary, I very much enjoy f/m TV relationships that are 'just' friend-/partnerships and don't have to rely on ~love twists~ to make dynamics interesting.

I'm with you on that one. If a romance happens in a naturalistic way, then sure, but I like the way their friendship is developing as it is. That's one thing (among many) that the Elementary writers are doing exceptionally right now, giving Joan and Sherlock a strong relationship without throwing in all the will-they-won't-they crap.
