I'm sure Renard has swept more difficult things under the rug. I mean, he's been hiding wessen poo poo in his district for years. Also, that restaurant, The Tippy Canoe, if loving AWESEOME! It's way out on the old Historic Highway and makes the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had. I used to counsel at a camp not far from it and every Saturday after the kids would go home we'd go eat there. Everything is made from scratch.

I like that the show uses actual real diseases, disorders and drugs to explain how the normal people accept what is happening around them. Also, with Hanks character, they explored what would happen if someone saw a werewolf (blutbad) but couldn't explain it away with one of those "normal" things. I don't know if it's been discussed already, but I'm wondering if Grimms are just Wesens who don't change their outside appearance. They seem to posses some of the same characteristics in their ability to see other wesen's subtle changes, they have enhanced strength/abilities and it's passed down from parent to child. Grimm seeing themselves as human would lead to them having kids with regular humans and diluting the gene pool, which would explain why not every child of Grimm is a Grimm themselves (genetics y'all). And because they don't change their outside appearance, Grimms never associate themselves to being anything other than human and see Wesen as dangerous monsters that must be killed. This leads to Wesen seeing Grimms as monsters and never thinking that Grimms could just be a confused Wesen. After re-reading all that, I feel like I've thought about this topic way too much... oh well.

Stabbey_the_Clown posted:I like the show, but Zombie Nick isn't that interesting to follow, which made this episode a bit weak. I did like Baron Samedi not knowing how a Grimm would react, so Nick breaking out and his failure to obey was fun, but otherwise not that great. Coming into the season, I had been thinking that Nick would make it all the way to Europe and be stuck there for a couple episodes. When they were all pledging to go get him I was like, "alright!". And then Monroe was going to call for 'some people' to come and join their merry band and I was like "beaver? alright  " but zombie Nick had to go and ruin my imaginary plot by crashing in the woods near by civilization instead of in the ocean.

(But we just let a veternarian gas bomb a crate of prisoners, so you know, we care about protocol here.) To be fair, it's a whole lot easier to write off a bar fight if nobody dies in it. You know, like, "Do you guys really want it on the public record that this dude walked into your house and kicked all your asses? We're sorry that Officer Burkhardt got slipped some PCP during his investigation and we understand if you want to press charges. Of course, that means we'll have to station officers here for your protection and that we'll have to fully investigate every part of your lives to make sure there wasn't some sort of provocation of Officer Burkhardt. Or we can just shake hands give you all a quick legal settlement with the city and cancel any outstanding warrants you might have. Deal? I thought so." Now if somebody died in the fight (or later or Nick kills a family of three) it becomes much harder to sweep under the rug.

At least now they know they can reverse the zombification after a period of time though I do worry about that family. Surely they wouldn't have the good guy lumber in and slaughter a family with kids, right?

Also Captain Renard specifically made the point that if Kick "kills someone he's done." In situations like that the question isn't "will they save/stop [insert Protagonist]?" it's "what interesting/dramatic thing will they do to save/stop [insert Protagonist]?" Meanwhile, I hope Juliette pushes herself into Nick's Wesen investigations because of the inevitable conflict that will ensue when Nick finally says, "No, Juliette, you're not coming with me to face off against the tentacle-rape death-monster wesen which gets stirred to rage by the presence of pet hair on snarky brunettes." ---------------- johntfs fucked around with this message at 20:52 on Nov 1, 2013 |

I guess the writers are really into pushing Nick's "lawful good" alignment. I would have thought that being roofied would actually be a pretty good defense for manslaughter charges, when the rest of the people who were infected behaved identically. Adeline seems awfully queazy for being a hexenbiest. Must be due to the pregnancy. johntfs posted:Meanwhile, I hope Juliette pushes herself into Nick's Wesen investigations because of the inevitable conflict that will ensue when Nick finally says, "No, Juliette, you're not coming with me to face off against the tentacle-rape death-monster wesen which gets stirred to rage by the presence of pet hair on snarky brunettes."

Holy gently caress, what's with the selective Lazarus thing? Is this Nick's new Grimm power? He is literally immortal? Also yeah, I do find it strange she uses face-leeches as a beauty aid and yet still gets squeamish about the messier aspects of spellcasting. Though to be fair, I think most of us would cringe at biting through a gore-clotted string...

I think they wrapped up everything well, but also with lots of storypotential regarding that guys death, and Nick's half-dead state. I did not expect Reynard to actually have his half-brother murderer for what he did, that is pretty crazy.

I did not expect Reynard to actually have his half-brother murderer for what he did, that is pretty crazy. Yeah. The parts of last week's episode where Nick was just roaming around in zombie mode seemed pointless at the time, because I thought there wouldn't be lasting consequences. The writers took those expectations and pulled a swerve, and managed to retroactively improve that episode. Nick still suffering symptoms looks like it will probably be a thing for a few episodes at least. Who knows where that's going, but it does show that the consequences will last longer than the duration. I'm also surprised that apparently Eric Reynard was killed so quickly and offscreen... but Eric is a smart guy too, so who knows if he's actually dead, or if the family just wants Sean to think he's dead.

I can't bring myself to care about Adalind at all. The A plot was very good. Some nice action sequences with a full-on Wesen (and cop) versus Grimm brawl. The fallout from his transformation is looking pretty interesting. I hope that his Grimm abilities end up being enhanced.

A) I liked seeing Nick show off his superhuman Grimm powers during the fight. B) I can understand Nick getting upset over the death initially, but after his talk with Renard, his response should have been "Did that guy have a record?". After all the fights with wesen and grim reapers in the previous seasons, you'd think Nick would've been a bit relieved at the end and he learned the truth, rather than still dealing with his crisis of conscience.

But they weren't human so it's okay, I guess. Even to his Wesen friends.

Nick didn't learn about the knife until the end when Renard showed him. Also, the Reapers and other Wesen he's killed have been the ones to initiate said fights to the death. Besides you don't have to be guilty of something to feel guilty about it. If I'm driving on the highway at night at the legal speed of 65 mph and dude comes running off the shoulder in front of my and I hit him, I probably won't be found guilty, but I still killed somebody, so I'll feel guilty because I'm not a sociopath. Nick is also not a sociopath.

No, that's true. He even struggled against Baron Samedi (prior to the whole goop-in-the-eyes bit.) Usually when the strength kicks in he just pushes his opponent back a little or breaks their hold; he hasn't seemed capable of tossing people around like it's nothing.
