pentyne posted:The preview was mind-numbingly stupid. They're actual going in the worst possible direction with the show that they could've. Agreed. And are the Royals basically terminators or something? Whoever it was earlier in the thread that thought that the hexenblood was affecting Juliette's soul, it looks like you were right. drat she was a bitch to Nick.

well, can hardly wait for the explanation why that thing in the preview for next week happens. You know, we've put up with a lot of crap for this show but I'm not sure I can keep watching if what they showed will actually happen

I didn't watch the preview, but that does not sound promising. At this point I still want to stick around for Season 5 because the writers promised an answer to what all the keys are for. But with the quality of the Juliette-becomes-Hexenbiest stuff, I may change my mind and decide that whatever they come up with will probably suck anyway.

Next Weeks Episode: The Jump Nick and company encounter an ancient wesen Carcharodon Teethalis, whose woge resembles that of a Great White Shark. Upon finding out the only way to kill this Wesen is to jump over it on a surfboard, the team turns to the Council for help.

I enjoy this show and even like the soapy aspects a good deal, but the last couple episodes and the preview are really putting a bad taste in my mouth. Who knows, maybe it won't suck, but if they're regressing all the way back to the season 2 bullshit I may be done watching this show. Aw gently caress, who 'im I kidding. I'll be riding this train until the last car careens off the cliff.

There Bias Two posted:This show is getting so bad. I can think of very few episodic shows with a serialized plot where the serialized plot is the worst part. But here we are. Adalind should have been killed off already, not knocked up again. Off-screen character replacements. Everything to do with the way Juilette is acting, veering between "gently caress WESSEN" and "WESSEN PRIDE" scene to scene. The fact there's an obvious loving cure (Grimm blood that's not Nick's) with Trubel, a single e-mail away. Speaking of which, why did they sideline their most interesting character again? It's rare to see a show gamble on a character that could backfire so much, have it turn out to be a success that's quite popular, then say "Well no more of that poo poo!" and write them out.

Alexis Denisof is part of the main cast on another show, so he probably didn't have time to do more appearances as just a guest star. James Frain's character was killed off for about the same reason - scheduling conflicts. Most shows shoot in L.A., New York or Vancouver, so having to go to Portland means flying out from elsewhere. Bringing Adalind back as a regular mid-season 2 was definitely not a great move.

If they break up Juliet and Nick so Adalind can come in and be all "Nick I'm having your baby!" and he's cool with it and they live together I will completely stop watching this show.

I'm not blaming Claire coffee, not anymore. She did a fantastic job playing Juliet during the regrimming. It's the character that blows. How can they hit such a high point this season with the rescue of Monroe and then completely forget what made it good is beyond me. To the writers writing metaplot, You suck at it, please stop.

shades of eternity posted:I'm not blaming Claire coffee, not anymore. She did a fantastic job playing Juliet during the regrimming. Yeah, I try not to blame specific actors when the character sucks. I don't think Claire Coffee is particularly bad, and not really any more so than anyone else on the show. They just write her character into the shittiest, most muddily-conceived plotlines. 90% of her character is her humorlessly reacting to poo poo happening to her, and the 10% of the time she does actively make decisions, it's to some irrational and barely-motivated end. She's supposed to be some sort of Margaery Tyrell type, or at least maybe a Cordelia Chase...a master manipulator who embraces hyperbolic femininity to control situations. And I literally can't think of a point in 3 or 4 seasons where that has actually been true.

Man, that preview for the next Grimm episode looks terrible. I really don't like the implication it gave that hexenbeasts are inherently evil (that's the impression I got from Juliet in the preview). It rather undermines the one of the main themes of the show that Wessen are regular people (morality wise) but with extra powers. Maybe the preview is just misleading? Who knows.

pentyne posted:With how fast and loose the writers play with any Wessen rules they originally made there's no guarantee. ... and now regular humans seeing a Woge'd Wessen happens in almost every episode at some point. Monroe himself specifically did show his Woge-face to both Hank and Wu to bring them in on the secret. spookygonk posted:Are Hexenbeast Wesen/Wessen though? Unless I'm forgetting someone, Hexenbiests are the only creatures on the show who explicitly use magic. All of the Wessen/Grimm superpowers tend to get some kind of vaguely plausible explanation that makes them sound like really bizarre biology, but not magic. They're spitting chemicals that ignite on contact with air for breathing fire, secrete freaky pheromones or toxins, have extra sets of specialized light receptors in the eyes, etc. However questionable the science may be, they've at least tried to establish that Wessen aren't really supernatural, and that they generally have abilities similar to some animal in real life. (oh hey, this guy secretes toxin like a blowfish!) Hexenbiests though, they cast magic spells and throw poo poo with their mind, which doesn't really fit the pattern. Aside from Hexenbiests, the only straight-up magical thing that I can remember in the show were Were-Hitler's evil mind-control cufflinks of doom.

Robot Hobo posted:Yeah, I remember Nick having a chat with Monroe near the show's beginning about wanting to tell Juliet about Grimms and Wessen, and hoping he could help. Monroe explained that there was no way a regular human would be able to see his Woge-face, no matter what he did. Because of that, he absolutely could not show her, and they decided to keep her in the dark because without proof Nick would just sound crazy. I believe what he said was she might lose her mind if he did so, not that she couldn't see it. The lack of Trubel is really making its impact known on the show at this point. Just come back and off Adalind's with Trubel already jeez. Party Plane Jones fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Apr 6, 2015 |

What I don't get is why Adalind said the baby was royal in the first place, with the shitstorm of trouble the last one brought her. But I guess that's my mistake to expect common sense from her.

"They can only process human body heat, other sources of heat don't affect them." "They're most dangerous when they're caught out in the cold." If other sources of heat "don't affect them," wouldn't they always be, effectively, "out in the cold"?

The wessen of the week were incredibly dumb, even by this Grimm season's standards. The special effects of Renard's hallucination or whatever at the end were terrible too. Still, I have to give credit to the professionalism of the main cast. They said all those stupid lines with mostly straight faces.
