Sleepy Hollow – “Heartless” Recap. Heart and Soul Sucking Demon.

<i>Sleepy Hollow</i> – “Heartless” Recap. Heart and Soul Sucking Demon. 8

While “Heartless” delves into the macabre as Henry (John Noble) unleashes a dangerous “succubus,” or “Incordata – the heartless,” on unsuspecting victims, the underlying message is a variable mix dealing with the faith you should have in those you love and opening your heart to new possibilities, even during inopportune moments. But the succubus (guest star Caroline Ford) isn’t sucking the life force out of her victims to satiate her lustful needs; oh no, she’s on a mission. I wonder if they make baby bottles for demons.

Homeland – “Redux” Retrospective. Full Circle. 12

Homeland has spent the majority of this season trying to recreate itself following two seasons of not-so-great ratings, specifically by giving us a Carrie Mathison who seems to have her head on straight…Now, in “Redux,” due to a sneaky switch in medications, Carrie becomes paranoid, giving us bipolar Carrie 1.0 once again—something I thought we wouldn’t see since it failed to work in any other season than the first.

<i>The Affair</i> – “105” Review. The Victim is Revealed. 13

Color me shocked! We’re only halfway through the season and we already know who the “victim” is. That leaves five more episodes to figure out who the killer is, if, in fact, there is a killer. Could creator/writer Sarah Treem be that sneaky that this whole thing will turn out to be an accident? Now that would be a twist for the ages!

Meanwhile, Dwight (Adam Copeland) tries his best to stall the CDC’s Dr. Charlotte Cross (guest star Laura Mennell) from discovering the “troubles.”
