In a previous post,
character motivations and goals were very briefly discussed. What was not
mentioned though, was the motivation behind Officer Andy Brooks. In the very
first episode he succumbs to evil and sides with the Headless Horseman,
however, he didn’t put up much of a fight. The writers haven’t provided much
background on Andy yet, but one would think that he has a girlfriend, wife
and/or kids that he is protecting. Or possibly, he might just be protecting
himself and that’s why he is now following orders from the Headless Horseman as
well as the demon, Moloch.

It’s curious that Andy
hasn’t been in the last episode or two though and I wonder what the writers of Sleepy Hollow have up their sleeves for
the episodes to come. Naturally, the viewers will learn more about Andy and his
past and will gain more insight into his future too. Will he end up so far into
evils that there is no coming back, or will he have the chance to be redeemed
after all? Only time can tell on this.
In my second post I had mentioned how creative liberties have been taken when it comes
to retelling Washington’s tale. Well, this YouTube video gives a
Disney-fied short film, complete with cartoon characters and singing. This is
truly a far cry from Tim Burton’s 1999 film version, which, genuine to his
typical productions, is on the darker, weirder side of the spectrum.
