Awesome, but Juliet frustrated me to no end. How could she not find Adalind suspicious when she insisted on knowing where the trailer was? She got me so angry when she told her the location. I mean really? She barely knows Adalind and she acts like Adalind's been her friend since Elementary school.
Loved everything else. Was on the edge of my seat and I'm so unhappy that tonight was the mid-season finale. How am I supposed to wait so long for the return next year???
lmao @ the To Be Continued...Sorry. That was a new one. XD
Completely agree with you! I was also frustrated with Juliette tonight... For an intelligent gal, she never questioned the volume of weird questions that Adalind asked about Nick's aunt and her trailer?... and to give up the location - I hope that it was the spell mixing her brain... Loved the reveal that Nick now knows who the Prince is (and just hope that the Capt doesn't trash the Grimm lair too bad searching for the key - good thing that Nick got it out of there, although I don't know why he doesn't hide it in some random location - Portland is sure to have some pretty sweet hiding places). Loved Monroe helping flush the hitmen out and Nick laying down the wood with his club o' doom..... I cannot wait til the return and loved the "Sorry" at the end!!!!!
One solid cliffhanger. With or without powers, Adalind still has powers over Juliette. To be fair, it's not all her fault she doesn't know everything that happened to her. The 2 spells done to her seem pretty selective. I knew the problem would not resolve itself in this episode. Which is find, because the big reveal at the end was great.
Ultimately I'm left with the question; so what? What really happened tonight? Not much really. OK Adalind is back. We knew that was coming so no surprise there. She and the Royals are looking for the "key". Yeah OK: nothing new there. Juliet still doesn't know whats wrong with her or that Nick is a Grimm and Nick still doesn't know that Renard is a Reaper. So other than NIck moving in with Monroe and possibly connecting that Renard is the guy that kissed Juliet; what really happened tonight? NOTHING! "Don't miss the fall finale of Grimm" everyone's been hyping for several weeks now. But pfft. Nothing. Bad way to end the year.
I'm sorry but your comments are exactly the kind of comments I see way too often lately about many shows. There's this need for instant gratification over allowing a story to build up. What happened is Adalind's agenda has forced many hands and put several people on collision courses, especially Nick and Renard. BTW, you've missed a couple of major points: 1) Renard is a royal, not a reaper. While a lot of the royals/verrat/reaper interconnections are not completely clear there is a difference. 2) Nick was told only a royal could wake up Juliette, he's a good cop so there's no way he hasn't or won't realize quickly that Renard is the royal.
Also one other major point of the episode: Renard throughout the series has been adamant about Nick having ties to the human world... Adalind has effectively cut most of those ties.
It was okay, but I still just want the obsession/amnesia story being over. And what a waste of a great source text...I liked the show better when the writers actually adapted the fairy tales. Now they just seem to take random quotes to justify the episodes they write.
,,AGREE...10000 PERCENT all the obsession/amnesia thing is began to SUCKS..may be the writers lost there MOJO about writing amazing and new story lines if that the problem create a web page that WE THE FANS send suggestions about it
I for one want Nick unattached.....too much danger for Juliette and any ladylove. Nick, Hank and Monroe make for a quite a trio of crime / bad boy fighters,I love the room Monroe gave to Nick to sleep in.......very German and very fitting for a Grimm......Enough already with Juliette and Renard....it is getting too sickening....Nick should have just told her what he was and what happened to her.....lay a little truth light on the subject....I mean after all she is really a victim/pawn in this tale. Well 2013 previews look Grimmtastic..... I love this show.....NBC you better not even think about canceling this show......don't be a jackasses like ABC who killed two of my shows.....Last Resort and 666 Park.......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I (sort of) remember the Grimm story where that opening quote was from, about being clawed by a witch. Several animals formed a group because they were old and afraid of being cast out. They found shelter in a barn. Someone entered the barn in the dark and the cat jumped down and clawed him. The man ran out screaming he'd been scratched by a witch and everyone left the animals alone in the barn from then on.
So the (cat)-witch directly refers to Adalind's presence.
Yes, the quote, taken out of context, fits the episode, but the episode doesn't fit the original source text at all. And wasn't that the original concept of Grimm (and the reason I watched the show in the first place), to take fairy tales and give them a modern twist? This particular story was even on my shortlist for "extremely adaptable for the show", it would have made a great episode about a washed-up band, but nooooo, they had to waste it in this fashion.
I found Juliette really infuriating this episode, but after giving it more though, I find her reactions totally understandable.
Nick has kept her in the dark too long and there's absolutely no trust between them, as awful at is sounds. She know he's hiding something big from him, and at the end of the day she was putting out with him out of duty for a love that she didn't even remembered.
She only remembers Adalind as Hank's ex, why should she be suspicious of her, when Nick, over and over neglects giving her any solid information? I get he's afraid for how things went the last time, but his secrecy has been pushing Juliette away all this season.
And above all this, she get's her brains scrambled and she now has these obsessive feelings over Renard, and no one can help her, because maybe if someone told her that magic is real, she could put 2 + 2 together and think "maybe this is supernatural".
Between Juilette being witch-y and having to put up with smug Adalind, I definitely reached my annoying female character tolerance. Geez. I hate the Juilette character and giving her a whole storyline has not made her any more interesting but it is bugging the crap out of me.
We need Monroe and a bad guy. Seriously guys, I've never watched a fantasy action show with less energy.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.

C P, Totally agree with you!
ReplyDeleteMy mouth was open at the end for 10 minutes straight...... Im so mad that that was mid season finale :( But damm.... Great episode

ReplyDeleteBrilliant episode, it was the initial stages of an explosion after a slow burning fuse.
ReplyDeleteThough I am hoping to see Nick's mother return sometime during the second half of the season.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loved it!
ReplyDeleteWhere is the promised Renard's obsession escalation??? I'm so disappointed !!
ReplyDeleteRenard isn't a Reaper. What show do you see?

Maybe that's in 2.13.

That's it! It's from The Traveling Musicians. That's actually a terrific idea, having it be about a washed-up band. A Wesen band!
ReplyDeleteA Wesen band would be awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic episode. I hate Adaling. Nick need to cut some heads incluing that bitch.

I did like the "Sorry" at the end, it was funny.
That sorry at the end was a real kick in the teeth! It was so good and Nick fighting is always awesome :D
