How many times we have dreamt about seeing our favorite characters from different shows together in one of them?
Personally this is the first time the crossover involves two shows I love: Bones and Sleepy Hollow.
But, as I said in the title, my favorite has been Bones. The story, the dialogues, the interaction between the four main characters and every other thing I can think were simply AWESOME. It has been a very exciting experience.
Some words about why I didn't enjoy that much Sleepy Hollow 3x05, instead.
Starting from the pilot I can say I loved the show since the very beginning. It was amazing. Ichabod Crane, perfectly played by Tom Mison, dealing with a new, unknown world was so funny; and interesting has been to explore his inner feelings.
But, this kind of very particular shows, about mysteries, supernatural and science fiction, in my opinion usually ends its "power" very early. In the most of cases with early I mean from 10 to 13 episodes, the so called miniseries. Some good examples are: The Whispers, Wayward Pines. Others should have ended after one season but lasted two: Extant, Resurrection. Other touched the third and more... Continuum (it has been involving until 2nd ), Fringe (until 3rd was great), Sleepy Hollow...
No matter I deeply love this last I would have stopped it at the end of the first season.
My question at the end of it was: The characters are amazing but how will the writers develop the story?
Yes, because the problem is in the story and the very hard ability to keep the logic of it and together the interest of the audience.
And with this I don't want to say that the writers are unable to do a good job (I swear I couldn't do better!) but simply that those kind of stories can't last long keeping a logic sense. They became boring.
Who can survive the "death", instead, are the characters.
That's why Ichabod Crane on Bones was so incredibly perfect, anew funny and interesting, recovering in 43mins all his original charm.
That leads me to think that a new experiment could be to start a second season of this kind of shows changing the context around the characters. They are still them, the ones we love and deeply know but on a new, different level and adventures. (In case it just happened in the past, I'm unaware of it!)
Will that be possible? Will we ever see it? Who knows...
At the moment other crossovers would be very welcomed.
Thanks to everyone from @BONESonFOX and @SleepyHollowFOX that made it possible :D
Happy Halloween everyone!
