All that aside, Monroe's "last words" were the best part of last episode. Nick's glare was also spot-on.

BarbarousBertha posted:I forgave the writers for giving that pissy speech to Renard for two reasons. One, it makes sense that his character is stressing balls and lashing out at Nick on the slightest provocation. Two, the writers also gave Renard that cheese and corn line at the end of the episode. "And this little piggy went to jail." I don't think it needs any forgiveness at all. Working on the assumption that Renard is actually playing the facts instead of trying to just manipulate everyone around him isn't how his character works (or, my interpretation of his character at least).

Humbug Scoolbus posted:I want Kelpie, Rusalka, or selkie. Anything but a 'Traditional' Mermaid Don't forget Astrofig suggested it might be a siren. I kind of facepalmed when I read that. I should totally have remembered that piece of mythology. I'm personally hoping for a Rusalka though, since I don't think we've seen any slavic fairy tales on Grimm yet. If the series runs as long as I hope it does, maybe we'll get a Baba Yaga. Or would she just be considered a hexenbiest? Not related to this week, but it's cool as hell that they are covering Central/South American fairy tales. Beyond the chupacabra, those of us in the U.S. and Canada don't get to see a lot of that folklore. I personally know nothing about it. Later this season, they are going to feature El cucuy. I think it was in the Grimm iBook that I saw it. The iBook was recently updated, in case anyone was interested.

Whatever kind of monster this creature is, I can kind of see why it might be angry. I'd be pretty angry too if teenagers kept breaking into my house and jizzing all over the place. This is a gross post. Edit:That dude is gonna be stuck playing creepy teenage dudes for the rest of his life. I was wrong. Little mermaid. I didn't expect them to follow the show's original premise.

Huh. Naiad. Still a missing voice. Oh hey. It's an actor I've seen on other shows. He's the bad guy. I like to think that the mermaid has a bunch of ziploc freezer bags cached around the shorre and she stuck the cell phone in there and swam home. Instead of,like, driving, which is far more likely for this show. She has a cell phone, an ipod, and if you want thingabobs, she's got 20! vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Bored fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Nov 16, 2013 |

He might've. Hank thought he looked dead when he came out remember? Hmmmm....halved metabolic rate? So his heartrate and breathing are only half as fast as normal? Also, gently caress, Kelly couldn't just sign her email 'Mom' like the rest of the world?

Bored posted:I thought Nick was gonna zombie out while under water for a moment there. That would've sucked. I hope that Juliette just asks Nick about "M.", or at least realizes that Nick was totally okay with Juliette reading his e-mail, and therefore unlikely to be receiving stuff from a mistress at that address. Decent episode. Good scenes with Monroe and Rosalee managing to be drama-free.

I'm not fond of emotional whiplash like that and I doubt most others are. Really I'm interested if that kid is actually going to go back to the mute or just ignore her because she's a "mutant"

I thought the resolution was a little weird too. Sure let them dry out in jail, the ME can handle it...I figured they would wanna avoid more weirdo deaths happening. Don't have any idea what they would have done otherwise though. And basically telling that kid "lol Portland" was dumb. Remember when Hank went crazy from the same thing happening?

Oh poo poo. Here comes Juliette having to act. Because the wessen is spanish, we are going back to her origins. Or, apparently the only thing she can act. If Nick doesn't go apeshit with WESSEN, CAT, PORPHECY AND YOU NEVER LET ME KNOW. But I am guessing Stone Cold Juliette will just drop "Oh, spanish Wessen, perhaps I know the gal" And no one will think otherwise.

I was pretty shocked how easily they seemed ready to let those girls die. I kept thinking the girls looked like they were in their late teens the entire time which only made their stone cold attitudes worse. Couldn't they have brought in a bucket of water or something to stave the drying out off? The line about "losing their world 200 years ago" was an interesting story that the writers will probably never address. It was nice that they remembered his super hearing again.

It did seem very cold to just leave the girls to die, but i am not sure how they could explain the way their need to be near water, they certainly need to do something about it with the two Naiad killers, so they don't just die in prison.

A decent episode, unspectacular case of the week that isn't actively offensive and with some fun details (those chirpy naiads were absolutely adorable). I saw the preview and that it included The Magical Spanish Grandma and promptly had PTSD flashbacks to some of the worst episodes of the show, but we'll see. One interesting thing: Renard's mother was a hexenbiest and his father human. Given those two things, and the Naiad episode confirming that human dad + naiad mom == naiad, I wonder if Grimm is sidling up to stating that Wesen genes get transmitted through the mother/X chromosomes, since they seem to have an interest in draping some pseudoscientific blanket over the chairs of implausibility. edit: This would also explain neatly that the creepy goat rapist dude from season 1 was fathering human kids on his victims, which would neatly explain why there weren't massive freakouts as unaware mothers started having their teenage kids woge out and grow horns.

Ahh, that's bs, Hellen Keller learned how to speak and she was both deaf AND blind (I guess that would make it harder or something). Either way deaf people can speak, it just usually comes out a bit weird.

I think you're giving that post way too much credit. By this logic Renard is shooting blanks (negating the Adalind baby-daddy drama) and the goat rapist should have been making one in four of his victims pregnant with wesen daughters.

She managed a syllable and a half of her own name about forty minutes in, so "No!" was probably not the greatest challenge. It's not like she recited Chaucer or anything.

I can't recall if it's this week or next, but Aunt Marie's Book of Lore is about to be published. That should settle any lingering arguments about how to spell "schlaffenjaeger".
