Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story

     General 
  • The subtitles add a lot to the action.
     Episode 1: The Local Legend 
  • "Fake book. Good for storing the still-beating hearts of your enemies. Or your inhaler."
  • There's a brief cutaway to Brom trying to be the substitute science teacher the previous year. It did not go well.
    Brom: Can anybody tell me what science is? [Beat] Anyone? [Beat] Please. Someone tell me what science is.
  • Kat getting introduced with a hot wind and sexy saxophone, with Matilda experiencing the blowback.
  • "Night of the Living Bread Bowl Tortilla Soup"
  • Trevor saying he is 15, then sipping his juice box.
     Episode 2: The Ghosts in the Graveyard 
  • Diedrich's interactions with Ichabod, especially bringing his mail in for him.
  • The introduction of Verla.
    Matilda: This is Verla, she crawled out of my TV.

     Episode 3: The Briny Booty 
  • "Aw no, court so scawy!" "Oh no! Icky got ticky?"
  • Ichabod's Relatively Flimsy Excuse for Gravy Davy:
    Ichabod: Sorry, Kat. My uncle has to —
    Kat: I thought you said he was your cousin?
  • Every time Gravy Davy introduces himself.
    " 'Tis I, Captain Gravy Davy Crowbones, scourge of the Hudson Harbor!"
  • Ichabod and Kat in the middle of a deep, soul-bearing conversation... only to pan out to show Gravy Davy sitting between them the whole time.
     Episode 4: The Star on the Stage 
  • Matilda's livid rage over Max faking his death date.
  • The Trousers apparently fired all of their child actors and started from scratch to better feature Trevor.
  • The entire play, but especially:
    • Trevor coming out on a toy horse.
    • Diedrich falling asleep in the background.
    • Max pulling food out of his coat repeatedly.
    • The Babes beating Trevor "to death" and getting way too into it.
    • Ramona's overdramatic piano playing.
     Episode 5: The Chaos in Court 
  • Verla being Verla around Judy.
    Judy: So don't like use them as coasters or get any of your fake blood on 'em. (to Verla) I'm talking to you, Missy.
    Verla: It wasn't fake.
    [Awkward pause]
  • Devlyn Versace's recommended videos:
    • "Why Guy Ferrari and I are calling it quits"
    • "Damn, Convinced My Little Sis She's Dead"
    • "devlyn versace streamy award meltdown"
     Episode 6: The Distractions at Dinner 
  • The wedding, between Brom and Matilda's grossed-out attempts to be romantic (and failing), the combination wedding march-funeral dirge, and Judy's oblivious cheer, is just so much.
  • Anne as "Mark" trying to convey her disguise name in a thick Southies accent.
    Ichabod: MAC.
    Anne: MAHK.
     Episode 7: The Secrets in the Sea Log 
  • Blair saying "This gives a whole other meaning to the term habeas corpus" (in regards to the skulls they dug up, latin for ‘you shall have the body’), only for Brom to reply, "I don't know the first meaning, so that joke is lost on me."

Unsolved Babesteries

     General 
     Gravy Davy Crowbones 
  • Spike's introduction:
    Tripp: Tripp!
    Cal: Cal!
    Blair: Blair!
    Babes: Aaaaaand....?
    Spike: (flatly) Spike.
  • Eugene getting offended over improper filming technique:
    "Are you filming in PORTRAIT MODE?!"
     Max Lee 
  • In a Black Comedy way, Tripp's Trauma Button reaction over his shark encounter:
    "There were teeth behind his teeth!"
  • The babes attempting to be introspective, only to get distracted by the thought of tuna fish sandwiches.
     Devlyn Versace 
  • Cal's micromanaging directions.
  • "Did you just say the word 'sigh'?"
  • "A nice warm Spike-accino will really hit the spot right now!"
  • Spike goes off-script:
    Did Versace's brief recurrence on this earth help solve the mystery [of the Horseman's head], or was it merely a comedic interlude while the plot thickened around our hero like Devlyn's yummy stew...? (grabs script page) Who wrote this?!
  • "Which yacht??"
     Anne Tarry 
  • Anne trying out her different accents in the van, and doing terribly.
