I've seen the first 5 episodes. Let me start by saying that I knew nothing about what it was going to be about - although obviously given the name I was expecting someone called Ichabod and someone missing what would normally be a crucial part of their body to survive.

My friend and I agree that the acting leaves a lot to be desired.

Time Travel. This simple little thing in the first 5 minutes or so seemed to cause me issues. I think mostly because I was unaware of such a plot point, and I was looking forward to the series continuing in the time period of Ichabod, not transporting him to the present.

The darkness, evil, whatever you want to call it. I've enjoyed this so far; there have been a couple of moments where I have jumped, and other times where I have been completely creeped out. I also love the fact that it's never truly in focus, very unnerving.

Witches and witchcraft. I definitely did not expect it to be in the series, but I think for the most part it does a good job at keeping things going.

The head (pun-intended) honcho, the Headless Horseman. On the one hand I like how they've gone and linked him to the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. On the other hand, that's not the story of the headless horseman (at least, not that I remember).

My final thoughts: It's a good TV series, but you could have called it anything for the moment, there isn't enough focus on Ichabod and the Headless Horseman for me to understand the need to call the show Sleepy Hollow.

The Headless Horseman by himself isn't enough for a TV series unless it was only going to last a season.

Oh sure, I understand that. But my point is that this isn't the tale of Sleepy Hollow, so why call it that? The only connection is Ichabod, the Headless Horseman, and a town called Sleepy Hollow. The show is more about witchcraft and this lurking evil. You could call Ichabod something else, the four horsemen of the apocalypse could all have heads, and you could rename the town to Energetic Solid and no one would know the connection to Sleepy Hollow.

And yes, I do appreciate that it is just a name for a show. It just irks me when they do things like this.

Sleepy Hollow - John Noble to return for Season 2

 

Which is why we?ll see Henry at least three more times this season ? Noble?s next episode has ?a terrific script,? he says enthusiastically ? and why the actor is happy to announce that he?ll be back in Season 2.

The supernatural drama has cast? Alias spydaddy Victor Garber as Ichabod?s dad, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Details are sparse, but Garber will appear in at least one upcoming episode of the Fox series.

In the Nov. 25 episode, Ichabod spoke fondly of his father, reminiscing about spending time with him while the elder Crane was on holiday from teaching at Oxford.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
