Since the TCA comments came out, people have either been freaking out, maintaining hope for a third season, or silently hoping for Sleepy Hollow to get its death throes on.

I’ve been neglecting to mention this a lot on this site, but in case you’re new, I recap black-ish weekly for Entertainment Weekly! Here’s a poignant part I had to say about last week’s episode, “Martin Luther sKiing Day”:

My opinions: Consider me a fan of Empire. To be honest, I was already sold from the moment I heard it was a show starring Taraji P. Henson, Terrence Howard, and…
