Random yet critically important question about Sleepy Hollow

Ok, I think we can all agree that Ichabod Crane is totally rocking that 18th century coat and those boots so I can kinda see why he hasn't gotten out of them for four episodes now.

But can't anyone at that precinct at least get him a couple of new shirts? Underwear? Socks? Just a suggestion.

In other Sleepy Hollow news I have decided that the show takes place in a very alternate universe where the entire American Revolution was completely different, but somehow, thanks to the magic of marketing and product placement, the OnStar system is still working and ready to help you whenever you have troubles on the road or just need to reduce people to tears with the epic tale of your doomed love story. You're welcome.

Couple of follow up thoughts about Sleepy Hollow

I meant to note that I can so envision the writers' room for this show. It goes something like this:

Writer One: Ok, I have NO idea how to end this scene.

Writer Two: MACHINE GUNS!

Writer One: Got it.

Writer Three: I'm confused. Why exactly is George Washington already chasing down Evil Hessians even though the Revolutionary War hasn't technically started yet and --

Writer Two: FIRE! Lots of FIRE!

Writer One: Ok, so, any thoughts on what the ghosts want?

Writer Two: MACHINE GUNS!

Writer One: Got it.

Writer Three: So, how do we get out of THIS SCENE?

Writer Two: MACHINE GUNS!

Writer One: Or, maybe, fire.

Writer Three: Damn it, we need a bit of exposition here!

Writer One: Ok then, time for a ghost OR a conveniently loquacious German soldier. You decide.

Writer Two: I'll ready the machine guns.

Narrative lessons for every writer. I'm just waiting for the ghost dinosaurs to show up and start munching down on the police force as they hunt for machine guns, because, let's face it, that would be AWESOME.

And, um, NO, I'm certainly not procrastinating on other stuff right now. Why would you even think that?
