Did anyone watch the pilot? It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be and its ratings were great:

That’s how the broadcast networks would want to begin the rollout of new shows, with a strong opening out of the gate. It came courtesy of Fox’s new drama Sleepy Hollow last night. The pilot, co-written by Alex Kurtzman & Bob Orci and directed by Len Wiseman, drew a 3.4/9 among adults 18-49. It edged Fox’s breakout midseason drama The Following(3.1 18-49 rating in the fast nationals, 3.2 in the finals) to post the highest drama debut rating since last September’s bow of NBC’s Revolution, which was buoyed by a big The Voice lead-in and a preview during the Summer Olympics. This marks Fox’s highest-rated fall drama premiere in six years. Sleepy Hollow, a contemporary take on the Headless Horseman tale, grew an impressive 55% from its lead-in, the season premiere of veteran Bones(2.2/7), which was in line with last year’s opener. Understandably, Sleepy Hollowdwarfed Fox’s drama premiere in the time slot last year, the long gone Mob Doctor (1.5/4). Like The Following and Revolution, Sleepy Hollow will likely add as much as 50% or more to its live ratings within the 7-day playback window.

The pilot was fun. Very different show, pretty refreshing to be honest.
 
I thought it was damn good. When I first heard about it I wasn't sure how it would work but it is done quite well.

I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot. To be honest I didn't have high expectations but after watching the pilot and seeing the "what's to come" attract at the end I'm eager for more.

I have to agree, I was wary of how they would continue on the series past the horseman series of events, but they set it up to go for a while a la supernatural
 
I'm hoping they bring more supernatural stuff into the mix rather than it all being about the Horseman every episode. They didn't really go into detail about that in the pilot so I'll have to see I guess.

He did say that their battle for humanity was supposed to take 7 years. So they could do whatever within that time frame.
 
The second episode was pretty good as well. They seem to have laid out a large pallette to draw story lines from.
