Humbug Scoolbus posted:I'm hoping for a Dybbuk. They had a nice take on that in the original Kolchak series. Doubt it. Since Hollylolly's guess is the one made with clay. Although now I need to look up yours because I was raised Jewish and while the name sounds familiar, I don't actually know that story. I'm behind on my random folklore knowledge, goddamnit. Edit: That's where I've heard it. The Unborn and The Possession. Sorry, Dybbuks don't make it into Hebrew school for reform Judaism. I have no clue if they make the cut for Conservative or Orthodox Judaism or if they only show up in Jewish Mysticism, which is pretty much considered BS and not taught at all to kids. The Golem story only made it into one class because the Golem of Prague story is a fairly recent one, compared to most of the other big stories. Kind of funny, I just googled "golem" to find the date of the Golem of Prague and found a page that is under the impression that "Gollum" from lord of the rings is "Golem". Am I an idiot for thinking that Tolkien didn't intend for people to read them as the same things? Stabbey_the_Clown posted:I wonder if he'll Talk Like This. I hope not, but he probably will. Then again, they are usually controlled by a person, so it might not have the ability to talk. They might end up spending the majority of the time looking for its "owner". Did the one on the X-files talk? It's been a long,long time since I watched that episode. Bored fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Nov 14, 2014 |

Mom hexenbiest looks awesome. That Hebrew was weak.

For being a hexenbiest, Adelind sure does suck at picking up on mind-fuckery. I would imagine Nick would have more of a problem sleeping with someone who looks just like his rapist, then Juliette would looking like her. Edit: goddamnit I love Bud.

Astrofig posted:She also technically raped him. There's that. Thank you. I thought maybe the show wasn't going to gloss over that part. Since Nick couldn't sleep and decided to scrub blood out of the floor instead, I thought maybe they were going to show some post-traumatic stress. But now I can't quite figure out if the writers are or aren't viewing it as rape (which it definitely is). I have a very difficult time being sympathetic to Adelind's plight after that.

hangedman1984 posted:My personal interpretation of Adalind is that she really is an incompetent character who manages to pull off everything she has, not because she is clever or scheming, but through sheer dumb luck. It like how Regards mom was figuring out the spell and was all impressed with everything she managed to do, then the scene cut to Adalind being stupid. Actually, I didn't think of it like that. The only way she could do make the spell was by figuring out how to open her mom's spell book, and she only figured that out by luck. Considering Sean's mom knew the trick to opening the spell book, maybe all hexenbiests are supposed to but Adelind was just too stupid to pay attention in hexenbiest school (which is like Sunday school for hexenbiests). That would also explain how she could be a loving mother while her mom was really terrible to her. I figured hexenbiests were just supposed to be evil and hateful to everyone, their offspring included, but maybe her mom was just very, very disappointed in her short-hexen-bus kid.

This is also a cool idea since it makes Portland more of a threat to the Royals. Portland would have 3 grimms refusing to put up with their political bullshit. Is Reynard's mom going to try to kill Kelly for her granddaughter? It'd be nice if they could get word to Kelly that the grandmother, whom nobody but the Portland grimms and company know is alive, wishes to take custody. It would be a safe place.

Accretionist posted:She's actually certified in stage combat! I know. I actually searched for that after her fight with whatever-the-shoplifting-monster-was. I was like,"She is awesome at this and dancers usually don't even make fight choreography look that awesome. What is her background that she is so good at this?" She actually puts a lot of power into the choreography and I don't think I've seen a woman, even in action films, put that kind of power into fight choreography before. I thought it was really cool. She gives the moves weight, is what I mean, if that makes sense. Like, last week, I was watching Nick fight to try to figure out if he makes the moves look as awesome. But I think they choreograph differently for him, which makes sense for the character as well as the actor, so it was difficult to say. It was still an awesome fight scene, but didn't make me think,"gently caress, he is awesome," like Trubels fight scenes do. Bored fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Dec 2, 2014 |

Mukaikubo posted:I'm laughing at this point because it's easier to laugh than rage. Clearly there's only no romantic interest because the writers were in too much of a hurry to get Trubel off the show to develop even that much. We thought "No, the writers can't possibly be that bad at their jobs". Surprise! They might be that bad at their jobs. Honestly, am I going to come back to this show after the winter break? I dunno. Maybe? poo poo. Trubel was a desperately needed breath of fresh air, and the writers just kind of shrugged and hastily wrote her off. Maybe she'll come back for Special Appearances down the line, but I guess they didn't want her on the main cast for reasons. loving christ, Monroe and Rosalee are the last things on the show that regularly show up that I actually enjoy watching more often than not. Pretty sure nobody would have given him a hard time if he hadn't said they were going to be "lovers". I even went back after he was so baffled by my response to make sure I didn't misread that he thought they were going to become romantically involved. I still don't think they are saying that Truble and Josh are gonna hook-up, that way. All of the posts your quoted said that Truble will not likely be sleeping with Josh because that is weird. The posts said nothing about Truble leaving the show and the writers using Josh as an excuse. It was a weird comment. It is weird when people automatically jump to the conclusion that when two single people talk, they will soon be loving. Also. You need to calm down. The actress might have other work to do and this was the easiest way the writers could think to write her off for the moment. For the most part, this show has been very good at writing against our expectations, which is one of the reasons I like it. Bored fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Dec 6, 2014 |

Party Plane Jones posted:Well, that's a twiest I didn't see coming. Stabbey_the_Clown posted:Maybe it's not Adalind's fault that she seems to suck at the Hexenbiesting, Reynard's mom said this would work, but didn't mention this as a side effect. Meh, gonna spoiler it in case someone from the west coast stumbles into the thread. None of this is a spoiler for people who have already watched this episode. I figured it was because Juliette isn't a wesen. But it would be pretty funny if Adalind sucks at Hexenbiesting so much because she has flawed HexenDNA or something. Like an extra chromosome or something. Since they actually have used genetics for plot progression in the past, it's not too far fetched for Adelind to just be a genetic anomaly. I still wouldn't be surprised if Trubel was written out for a little while because she had other stuff she wanted to do. And, as you mentioned, Wu would arrest her on sight. I might be in a minority, but I kind of like the idea of Juliette basically being infected with wesenism. Now there's no way she can escape from the Grimm world and we still have Hank for the human point-of-view. She could leave Nick and Portland and pretend she doesn't know anything about wesen and probably live as safely as any other humans do. But if she's turning into a hexenbiest, considering she hasn't been raised as one, she would be far less safe than a regular human would be. Didn't Adelind need the heart of a hexenbiest to reinstate her powers? There are probably plenty of other wesen that have rituals or spells that call for hexenbiest body parts. If she does become a hexenbiest and learns how to do hexenbiest stuff, she and Rosalee can open up a wesen hospital instead of just having the informal wesen clinic Rosalee currently has.

It's likely that the Closed Captioning was done by someone at the network who thought "gunshot" instead of headsplode. I still think she did it with the hexenbiest shriek. It was a sonic attack. I'm going to continue believing this until the show says otherwise...which may well be tonight. Now I have to go dig out that cd. Thanks!

Just caught up. The Wesen council is really bad at hiring hitmen. I would think that even human policemen would be concerned at 3 different murders in their jurisdiction all having the same m.o. If they had a hitman that used guns, I could see them using the same guy. But scorpion venom in a huge stab wound every time would probably send up some red flags. It was nice that the two guys who relay messages for the council didn't agree with the killing of Nick, since he actually found the cure to something that they have been killing children for for centuries. Here's hoping Juliette rips out Adelind's throat like she did Rosalee in her nightmare.

Rosalee did say that the hexenbiests that are made are usually more powerful. And Adelind's loving stupid, so it also kind of makes sense that Juliette would already have learned better control. I just wish Juliette had been like, "You raped Nick!" and torn out her throat.ETB posted:The fight needed more frying pans.
