ETB posted:Grimmobile! Too bad Adaline wasn't standing behind it when he flipped those switches. Also as soon as they left Truble alone in the hospital I yelled out "Noo! Keep someone there to watch out for evil people!" Since its such a common thing in other shows. Also, so the evil Wessen clan has a secret nurse in every hospital world-wide waiting for sick Grimm to show up?

I know it won't happen, but I desperately hope Meisner is gonna be a new love interest for Adalind so there won't be anymore of this whole "Nick falling for his rapist who systematically destroyed every aspect of his life".

5x06 – “Wesen Nacht” Trubel comes clean about here whereabouts. Plus, Nick and Hank investigate Wesen gang violence. hangedman1984 posted:I know it won't happen, but I desperately hope Meisner is gonna be a new love interest for Adalind so there won't be anymore of this whole "Nick falling for his rapist who systematically destroyed every aspect of his life". Please show, do this. I will say that having Trubel convalescing in Nick's secret hideout does help break up the hideous atmosphere of domestic life which was starting to happen.

Ha ha ha now that's pretty good. I guess this might explain why Bitsie Tulloch  left the show on such good terms. They were pulling a Starbuck on us.Okay, I think I think I like where this season is going now, which I admit, was not something I had expected I'd be saying. Interesting thing from this article linked on page 1: quote:“I will tell you this,” Giuntoli says. “David Giuntoli has not seen Juliette in a very long time. If the writers have something up their sleeve, I don’t know about it. We are 11 episodes in and Juliette has not reappeared. Listen, they like to keep balls in the air. That could be one way to keep the fans guessing.” Note that the response was very carefully worded. "David Giuntoli has not seen Juliette in a very long time. If the writers have something up their sleeve, I don’t know about it. We are 11 episodes in and Juliette has not reappeared." I noticed that it was carefully worded at the time, but I didn't think much of it. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Dec 12, 2015 |

"Hadrian's Wall" was built by the Romans to "keep out the barbarian invaders", which makes it an appropriate name for the group fighting the Wesen uprising. http://www.tvinsider.com/article/59...&utm_medium=tvi quote:Strange as it seems, will a romance of some sort blossom between Adalind and Nick?

Astrofig posted:Solid black. They look solid coal black, with a reflection in them of the wesen's woged state. They actually used that tonight, a wesen nurse got Trubel to open her eyes and then woged to check whether or not she was a Grimm. That was actually a really cool effect.

Yeah, I saw that too. I think that there is some wiggle room in there to go back. The idea that Eve has all of Juliette's memories, but none of the emotional connections is strange. I find it hard to believe that Nick wouldn't at least try to draw the old Juliette out of Eve. It does seem to make it more unlikely that he would try to have a relationship with Adalind with Juliette up and around. On the other hand, it could be said that the old Juliette died well before being hit with those arrows.

Watching episode 4, and I can't express how much I don't want to see wacky domestic hi-jinx between Adelind and Nick. Seriously, this is the worst executed running plotline on a show with a history of terrible running plotlines.

I'm getting fundamentally disgruntled at how stagnated Nick's progression as 'Badass Grimm' has become. Truble is more badass. Ex-Fiance is more badass. Captain is more badass. Nick himself has flatlined pretty hard, and the special Grimm DNA/Skills don't seem all that fearsome when compared to others in the overall managerie anymore. We need a return to the fear of the Grimm, and we need it pretty hard. Overall the reputation and legend is unravelling.

Yeah, sounds terrible but I kinda want to see him accidently go completely overboard during his next wesen fight. Like, gore everywhere, bodies bent ways bodies are not meant to bend, that kind of thing. And when it's over he kind of shakes himself and then looks around in horror like, 'did I do all that?!?'

5x07 – “Eve of Destruction” Nick seeks answers about Juliette's shocking return. Plus Rosalee and Monroe alert the Wesen Council about the rising violence in Portland. New episode tonight. There Bias Two posted:"What’s funny is that I’m seeing on social media that the audience is increasingly OK with Nick and Adalind being together, but I think the baby has a lot to do with it. They’re like, “If they share a child they should be together—for the baby’s sake. Do what’s best for the baby!” And that proves what I’ve always known: We have very sweet fans." Part of it is probably that some people didn't see it as a rape because Nick believed he was having consensual sex with his girlfriend, and the show has not been big on pointing out that it was indeed rape. But for me, even if you were somehow able to ignore the RAPE, the fallout of which pretty much led directly to Juliette's death, Adalind has become such a tumor on the show, with plotlines revolving around her actions swallowing up literally entire seasons. That alone is too much to stand. Stabbey_the_Clown fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Jan 30, 2016 |

Everything about Adalind has been handled in an incredibly stupid, tone-deaf way. Apparently all the bad feelings caused by trying to kill you, ruining your life, raping you, and killing your girlfriend of 6+ years can be magically loving cured by having your RAPE-baby. They kissed, I'm out. Not even gonna finish watching the episode.

Well at least they admitted it was a bad thing to do. I'm going with the theory that Nick has suffered a lot of trauma very recently and Adalind basically uses her feminine wiles as a survival mechanism so being unpowered and a mother has kicked it all up a gear. I hope. I pray. Anyway Monroe and Rosalee continue to rock my world

Juliette's actress exists in an uncanny valley where I don't know whether to find her extremely pretty or an alien lifeform. That wig somehow makes this paradox worse. Come to think of it Adalind looks bizarre too... I'm trying to think about something other than the writing/storyline of this show and how it is absolutely idiotic. The first season had a bit of craft to it and though it was always hokey, I loved the lore and myth stuff and seeing what lovely 3d creature they'd come out with. And I mean I like that everyone works together but way too many scenes of characters talking to one another and filling each other in about poo poo we just got done seeing. They need to go out and do poo poo together. It's a show about how some humans are actually animals or monsters as a premise, and they spend half of every episode talking back and forth on the loving phone. They have these conversations but nobody actually knows or reveals poo poo mainly because the writers haven't even figured out where they are going with it, which is why the show lost its way so badly. Nicks favorite catchphrase is "I'm on my way" or "I'll get to the bottom of this" at the police station. The show can't balance the characters anymore. Monroe is boring and domesticated and has nothing to do except be imposed on. Trouble is a good character with nothing to do. Remember when the Captain was an interesting enigma instead of a nobody? But the character who has been completely destroyed is Hank. Hank like every episode tries to be the voice of reason and tells a completely out of his mind Nick that as an officer sworn to uphold the law he can't go off on his own and do poo poo like threaten an FBI agent. But then like he just shrugs and is like oh well. What exactly is the point of someone who essentially reminds the audience that the protagonist is a dumbass who cares more about pursuing his personal affairs than his job and then never does anything about it? God if cops were as laid back as Hank nobody would ever be arrested.

God if cops were as laid back as Hank nobody would ever be arrested. Well he's pretty psychologically compromised by all this. It kinda makes sense that he might've thrown most of his morals and agency out the window in an effort to remain sane. I think Wu is by far the more pointless character because all he does is serve to echo Hank's sentiments. The whole police procedural aspect of the show is ridiculous at this point because Wesen have been shown to be really, really active and really, really common in the regular human world. It makes no sense that they're somehow this secret society. "Oh hey, that's the 50th ripped out throat/clawed up body we've gotten this year. Must be another serial killer with the same MO." Maybe there are just a lot more bear attacks in Portland than I realize?

Nice thread title. Obviously, the writing on this show is atrocious. I don't even need to mention the most obvious issues, including the rape romance crap. The thing I remember most was in the zombie episode or something. We see zombie Nick destroy a bar and beat the poo poo out of a bunch of people. Then Renard comes in and steals the security tapes. Great, so he covers for him - that's important for viewrs to know, I guess. But then we also have to see Renard watch the tape. So we watch Renard watch the tape of Nick beating the poo poo out of a bunch of dudes in the bar. Which we just saw. Great use of 10 minutes, show.

Tonight's episode was a real throwback to the early seasons. It was almost... well structured! The one otter brother's slide from being okay with accidentally killing a guy to wanting his brother dead seemed a little abrupt, but I like how he got hoisted on his own petard at the end. As usual the "Eve" bullshit is unbearable. Maybe the writers think if they repeat that eve is a different character from Juliet that the audience will actually believe it.

Applewhite posted:Tonight's episode was a real throwback to the early seasons. It was almost... well structured! Yeah Nick should have been like "I don't know who 'Eve' is but Juliet is under arrest for attempted murder, arson, and [insert crimes here]." Instead Nick is just like "welp shucks she's callin herself Eve now" Best part of episode is Monroe's incredulous expression at hearing this. Since he's been rendered inert as a character, the best Monroe scenes are his actor reacting to whatever nonsensical plot points are being thrown at him.
