kismet July 11, 2016 Share July 11, 2016 (edited) I've come to believe that the Sleepy Hollow showrunners and writers are Masochists, and the people who run Fox are Sadists. It can only explain why they got rid of Abby and decided to replace her with Spoiler a 30-something female & her 11 yr old daughter. Because that doesn't have trouble written all over it. Find one TV drama in the last 5 years that has had a tolerable 11yr old child on it. There is almost no way they don't fall victim to the tween/teenager plague that infests so many shows & ruins them almost to the point of not watching. At least if the kid was younger it could just be cute, maybe make a few well-placed jokes or reactions to Ichabod. http://tvline.com/2016/07/07/sleepy-hollow-season-4-cast-new-character-anna-spoilers/ Also doesn't Fox already have this set-up, it's called Lucifer. I don't recall it doing so well. At least there not bringing back his dead wife again? Baby steps...

I am watching Shield and notice that Skye is referred to as a "special snowflake" a fair bit. Is it a character that everyone in the show is in love with and everyone tries to save them eg Elena from Vampire Diaries (although I don't recall her being called a special snowflake, people were just annoyed with her). Is it when the character is not that great but everyone in the show thinks they are wonderful (the lead chick on Covert Affairs) I quite like Skye but am only up to midway season 2 so curious as to what beef some have with her character.

tv echo July 11, 2016 Share July 11, 2016 (edited) IMO, a "special snowflake" is a fictional character on a tv show who is viewed as special or superior for some reason and therefore is treated differently from every other character. He or she gets more time and attention and also gets away with behavior that would otherwise merit consequences if done by another character. The "snowflake" term is used because each snowflake is unique. So someone who is a special snowflake thinks he or she is even more special and unique than everyone else and deserves more special treatment. There's often a sense of entitlement and self-importance. ETA: A special snowflake stands out even more in ensemble shows or even protagonist shows where it's not clear why he or she is a special snowflake.

Starfish35 July 11, 2016 Share July 11, 2016 I didn't really have a problem with Skye until this season. I know people have had problems with her since the beginning, mainly I think because of how Coulson/the show treats her as someone super special, and the character doesn't really warrant that. And while I got that, it didn't really bother me for some reason until this season. But this season, particularly in the last half, wow. She reaaaaally was getting on my nerves. I think the character works fine if she's treated like just one of the team. It's when the show starts singling her out and treating her like the most important character on the show that it starts getting irritating. For one thing, the character just isn't interesting enough IMO to warrant Female Lead status, and Chloe Bennett, while a decent actress, is not strong enough to carry the show like that. Especially when surrounded with far more talented actresses. *shrug* That's just my two cents. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1847-small-talk-the-quiver/page/148/#findComment-2395570

statsgirl July 11, 2016 Share July 11, 2016 Skye's special snowflake status was a big reason I stopped watching AoS after season 1. Good to know I made the right decision. May was awesome, my geek side bonded with Simmons, but the show and Coulson revolved around Skye. I agree, Barry is oh so much the special snowflake. Oliver catches crap for everything, Barry opens the portal to villains from other Earths and he gets a Flash Thank You Day. For me, a big problem with Special Snowflakes is that they often make me stop watching the show altogether. Greg House (House M.D.) himself was bad enough but when Thirteen made a fatal mistake and he fired everyone else on the team and kept her, I knew the writing was on the wall. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/1847-small-talk-the-quiver/page/148/#findComment-2396352
