In reply to Iris. Hi Iris, thanks for commenting! Wow, that is illuminating — and puzzling. Maybe they messed up and aired the wrong one?! Well, now I definitely have to watch the next episode and see if it's any better. I hope you watch it, too. I want to know what you think! — Elaine

I saw a different version of the show! I missed the show on Monday so I downloaded a torrent of the pilot. The download was very different from the one that I saw on FOX.com. It’s a better version than the one on FOX.

1.) On the download, Dash’s brother was assumed to be missing and there was only a brief view of the sister.
2.) Only the daughter was the killer, not her father and there was only one bird used, not an entire flock.
3.) There wasn’t a lot of useless dialogue and scenes. Everything was seamless.
4.) The chemistry between all 4 characters were more noticeable

Dammit! This is very disappointing. I loved the downloaded version. Whoever decided to put that other one on tv made a mistake.

In reply to Dawn. Hi Dawn! Thanks so much for your comment. Well-said. My favorite shows are love-at-first sight. I can pretty much tell you the exact moments I fell for Buffy, The Wire, The Sopranos, Veronica Mars etc. This unfortunately was bland. I watched that Megan Good show "Deception," too. It was guilty-pleasure fun. Let's hope it gets better. — Elaine F.

So, I thought I was the only person who notice the similarities with Sleepy Hollow! We some how connected on this lol
*Similarities
-Monday nights after Gotham
-Strange, kind of cute white guy needs guidance because he is in a “new phase” of his life and he needs help.
-A beautiful black woman, who happens to be tough cop and cute. Comes along entangled in cute white guys mysterious problems.
– They have an awkward chemistry that works and some love educate each other on different but small subjects, like Tinder lol
The difference is I actually like Minority report, the movie. That was the difference in me only liking this, some what. The movie had a lot more “grit” and ” raw edge”, that show doesn’t display. Tom Cruise’s character was abusing drugs because he lost his son. So naturally he dives into work. I did like the special affects. This is what sort of made the movie intriguing to me.
The cast seems diverse. Another Sleepy Hollow season 1 trait. Megan Good was ok in this. She better in Deception which she was the lead on NBC. I just wasn’t interested in why Dash left. I felt like he should have left because someone was chasing him and went Lara for protection. For the cost of that protection, he helps her prevent murders. I really do hope it gets better. I am all here for the Black girl magic. I am really disappointed to see this has replaced Sleepy Hollow on Monday nights. After the episode, it was the wrong decision.
