I’m cranky about having to wait two weeks for the next episode.
When did he become possibly the best actor on TV? Sure, asking Jesus what He would do on Earl was funny, but this is another level altogether.
I never watched Prison Break. How was he on that?
((Shhh, Will Arnett heard that ;)))
I too am grumpy that many show are on hiatus.
Will Arnett plays the same jerk every time. Mitchell has become creative and interesting.
ETA: I’m not talking about comedy alone. I’m talking the gamut. I rarely say this about actors, but has he done Shakespeare? Watch him as he takes CRAP dialog and makes it worth watching.
Evil and crazy and awesome.
We’re supposed to be getting some fun “reveals” and arc stuff coming up.
Just watched the “Hansel and Gretl” episode. The captain cutting off the ear of the Reaper and the Aunt telling Nick he needed to break up with Juliet were brought back in this episode. I liked it when Nick told the lady from the clinic that he wasn’t asking as a cop, so she shouldn’t expect him to act like one. This episode nicely blended mythology and monster of the week.
yeah - I’m hopeful this is a sample of things to come - it was a well done episode all the way around - they even kept the ‘reveal’ until late in the episode and Grimm got all Grimmy about things.
“you no longer sell human body parts <crash>”
New episode tonight! With Amy Acker.
I found myself thinking about the large number of critters of all sorts living in Portland last night – that whole neighborhood group of the beavers that he warned to stop coming around his house, and the first black widow’s victim (loved that they played up the ambiguity of which was the baddie in that first section), plus of course a murderer of the week. And yet there are so very, very few Grimms. Does Portland have an unusually large number per capita, or are they really saying that 10 percent of the population is crittered?
Do we know what kind of Bad Guy the first victim was? I know it wasn’t important, but I wondered if it was a character we’d seen before.
The husband was a Spinnetod, too, right? He changed into something at one point.
- I dunno, maybe someone else can answer but 2) Yup, he was too. When Nick privately interviews him at the station, he admits that he is as well and that he and his wife met in high school, that she allows him to live (rather than kill her mate as is traditional) because it’s a lonely world and they love each other.
I thought the first guy might be a fuchsbau (fox) but couldn’t say for sure.
It seems to me that all the creatures ought to be able to identify each other by scent. Though then they couldn’t do cool fake-out surprise scenes like that.
I was thinking wolf at first, like Big Bad Wolf going after the helpless little girls. But no, that wouldn’t make sense, knowing what we know of the Big Bad (and reformed) Wolves.
We just watched Tarantella. It was pretty good, though I find the TV-budget CGI sometimes jarring. Also, we need some additional plot arc or MotW is going to get boring…and occasional phone calls to the Captain aren’t really arc enough.
Good to see Amy Acker again. (cool that she will also be on Once Upon a Time) We already know that some Vessen have no problems with Grimms (pigs and bees). I would think beavers might fall into teh same category. Probably a case of unfamilarity breeds fear.
If they keep killing to Spinnetods remain young looking, or do they age normally?
Brian
Normally, I think – the one in the nursing home asked her apparent age, the answer was 28, with this being the third killing spree, and she said “that sounds about right, she’d’ve started around age 18.”
Vessens fear the Grimm(s) - The “Grimm” is what the Vessen parents tell thier children to keep them in line - “be good or the Grimm will come get you”.
(stated better in the show) - Most Vessens have never seen a Grimm.
The…I forget what the pigs are called…anyway, they’ve never had a problem with Grimms according to the one who worked at the police station.
