"That is not normal." Oh, Hank, this is Portland. Of course it's normal for this show. Also, Oh, joy, FBIrdwoman represents yet another secret organization with mysterious motives.

Weaknesses aside, I really am coming to love Trubel. What kind of wesen is she fighting, can anyone tell? Edit: the gently caress is it with Hexenbiests and blood? Holy poo poo did Nick just kick him into traffic?! Astrofig fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Nov 8, 2014 |

Seems like depowered Nick should be resolved soon(tm)--I don't think those two goons outside the spice shop are going to pose a threat to the three people inside, but we'll see I guess.

Yeah she seems to even surprise herself, like when she's backed into a corner or losing a fight her Grimm 'instinct' kicks in and takes over. Also I really liked the doctor's explanation about Nick having additional vision cones, similar to the rare people who can see more than 3 primary colours. I can accept that the ability to see Wesen has a physiological basis and isn't simply a mysterious and unexplained ESP effect. And every week brings more "ah, that poor oblivious Wu" scenes. When are they finally going to tell him what's going on?!

Did Nick lose his super sensitive hearing and/or his zombieness from last season along with being a Grimm or have they kept that going?

I think they may have just forgotten that he was a zombie at all, which is a drat shame. Each week, I find that the Wesen of the Week is by far the least interesting plotline going on and I would really like for them to drop it for a couple of episodes to get some really plotting done. But then I remember that the writers are making a procedural first and last, which just depresses me.

Well, the three people inside are Rosalee in her spice shop, Monroe, the bad-rear end Blutbad who loves Rosalee and a scary hexenbiest who used a two-headed snake-thing to bring her son back from the dead. No, I'm pretty you're right about the two doofs in hawkmasks not posing a threat to those three.

I wonder how long it'll take Adalind to realize that the guy who "rescued" her from her cell works for Viktor. It is true that Wu didn't have time for that talk with Nick this week, but it seems clear that he's not going to drop it until he gets some answers. Party Plane Jones posted:Did Nick lose his super sensitive hearing and/or his zombieness from last season along with being a Grimm or have they kept that going? I think the writers might have taken the opportunity to remove those as well to avoid power creep, but we'll have to see. (Although they were the ones who decided to let Nick keep those upgrades, even though no one would have cared if they didn't.) johntfs posted:Well, the three people inside are Rosalee in her spice shop, Monroe, the bad-rear end Blutbad who loves Rosalee and a scary hexenbiest who used a two-headed snake-thing to bring her son back from the dead. No, I'm pretty you're right about the two doofs in hawkmasks not posing a threat to those three. Technically isn't it like four minutes without oxygen before your brain dies? I think it wasn't so much back from the dead as a last-minute emergency procedure. I don't think those two guys are meant to be a threat, but rather the tip of the iceberg - Wesen who make friends with Grimms are non-existent, and the chaos at the wedding drew attention to the fact that Rosalee and Monroe are on friendly terms with a Grimm. That's a thread that hasn't really been touched on much since mid-season 1.

Grimms were historically used by the Royals to keep wesen armies under control. If Hawkgirl there is a wesen working for an organisation that wants Grimms on board, odds are good someone's trying to go back to the good old days.

One thing I loved was Renardmom's declaration "To beat a hexenbiest like Adalind, you need a hexenbiest like me." At which point we cut to Adalind freaked out and stuck in her cell. It was almost like the show itself responding with "Why?" I'd need to watch some Season 1 episode again, but has Adalind ever been clever or self-sufficient? She's mostly seemed to survive because of the resources/efforts of other people. I fully expect that in an upcoming episode, Adalind will show up at Nick and Juliette's home to talk to Nick and Juliette will just start beating her to death with a skillet. And then have to stop because hurting Adalind somehow hurts Nick because of the link. Either that or Nick and Adalind will switch bodies and Juliette will end up sleeping with Adalind as Nick. That's the secret endgame of the show, isn't it? Adalind is going to literally gently caress every member of the main cast in one way or another.

Those two doofs could be Grimms working for the newly revealed secret organization about to go bust up a vessen drug shop.

She fucks with everyone, fucks everyone, is incompetent yet desperately important, and manages to pull off some spectacular feats despite herself.

To be fair they deserve literally everything that happens to them for this go round. You don't just take someone's kid and lie to them, then let them wander around half mad with grief. If she's so evil and/or incompetent you can't trust her not to gently caress everything up, have the decency to kill her. At a certain point you have to learn that throwing Adalind under the bus just ends with her going insane with rage and blowing your world up in revenge.

You don't just take someone's kid and lie to them, then let them wander around half mad with grief. The baby is like super power possibly evil baby. Despite the sentence I just typed striking me as retarded, do you want said baby raised by Adalind who has been established as a psychopath going on 50 times? She is a mentally unfit mother. To be fair Nicks Mom is on the edge in that regard but she is much more responsible at least. In terms of deserving Adalinds bullshit they do but not because of the baby. They had the chance to kill Adalind in season 1 in the bee episode. But instead of killing her Nick's character (and the dumb writers) killed off the queen bee character who was trying to save all of us a lot of grief and tortured storylines. So they deserve Adalind for killing the bee lady. Also I'm slow but just realized this last episode was a play on "Raging Bull" except more literal.

You missed the point. It's fine if you take the baby because you think Adalind is too evil or incompetent to either deal with her or deal with giving her up for her own good. It's insanely stupid to believe that, take her baby, and then just leave her alone. All she is going to do now is brutally gently caress you over. It's her move. You betray her, she brutally fucks you over. What did they think was going to happen when they took possibly the single thing Adalind has ever unconditionally and unselfishly loved away? She'd just go "Well, guess I don't get to be a mom. Oh well." and wander off? Stupidity like that deserves to be punished.

So the good guys got to screw her over for once.

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 |

So when Stabbey mentioned the new episode with being killed by clay, I cringed thinking "don't bring that crappy boxer wesen-of-the-week back", but realized it was actual clay No clue about the mythology and what not of what it is/will be, but please don't spend 90% of the episode on it and casually interject things we care about.

Oh good, Adelind's not back. Although Roselee's happy "So what now? Do you just have to sleep with Nick?😃" is just wrong. "oh my god, it's real!

I liked that Teresa told Nick about the FBI abduction. She has pretty consistently made smart decisions, and in the cases where they were actually dumb (going off alone with the shoplifting gang), she's realized that it was a bad decision. That morphing castle face wall was strange even by the standards of Grimm. It does not seem to be real, though, since water suddenly being that high doesn't match with the endless stairwell set. I guess she's on some kind of crazy mind-trip (induced by Viktor, probably).

Seem to be laying that one on pretty thick. I was somewhat disappointed that there wasn't a fight scene with the two goons who threw a brick into the spice shop. They were masked up like they were going to try to bash in some heads. But instead they threw a brick through a window and ran away like children. Renard's mom is also fabulous. Her character is hilarious. Such a nice change of pace from the other hexenbiest.
