When the crossover episode of Sleepy Hollow and Bones was announced, I think everybody's immediate reaction was - what?
A crime procedural with no elements of fantasy crossing over with a
supernatural drama? Really? I don't think one person doubted the ability
of this event to work, myself included. Fortunately, I think this
crossover episode worked! Sure, there are some kinks to the general rule
that the Sleepy Hollow world is far too removed from the realistic
world of Bones, but it's something that is kind of intriguing in
this episode. As a note, I decided not to watch the screener for the
Bones portion of the crossover, just to see if this episode would stand
on its own legs. Good news to the fans of Sleepy Hollow that don't watch Bones
(and may not want to), this episode can totally be watched on its own. I
didn't find myself lost during it at all. Sure, there's references that
they met prior to the episode (which is something I am interested in
seeing, so I will watch the screener sometime this week prior to the
episodes airing), but you seriously could just dive straight on in
without worrying about not seeing the Bones episode...
