A nice thing about this season’s villains is that no one has asked you to care about them. Gone are the days when the show strained to make Katrina’s deal look like a moral dilemma! Sure, the days when the Horseman actually made a vaguely-formidable enemy are also gone, but you take your chances, I guess. What it means for us: Atticus Nevins can summon all the Norse berserker demons he wants and nobody expects us to be invested in it. Pandora can show up with her supergoth Lord of the Rings cosplay boyfriend, and you do not have to care about it whatsoever! This has led to a subdued pace, but it’s also made it easier to refocus on all the neglected character dynamics from last season, and a few new ones of...varying efficacy. “The Art of War” tries to change all that and make sure you’re invested in the workings of the evil-hearted—it even opens with Abbie handing Ichabod his double-jug in chess to make sure you understand this is an opening gambit in a fall-finale strategy.
