Loved it, and It was over too soon, and now we have to wait until the 28th for the next. I am very glad that Juliette is learning Nick's secret from others. She would never believe it from Nick. I'm worried about what she says in the next episode's promo, asking Nick if he'd be more comfortable if she moved out. Also, Sgt. Wu got to do something (he doesn't usually). And how creepy was that Wessen peeking through the skylight?
Fantastic ep! Loved the continuity with Juliette talking to Bud, the nervous Beaver who spilled more than he should've for Nick assuming that Juliette knew about the other world, but telling her that Nick was a great guy. I really liked the set up with the Royal assassin (horse Wessen?) doing the creep on Nick and it looks from the preview that he will try to ambush Nick at the secret trailer of Grimmy goodness in the next ep - good thing that the Grimm armory is in there. Oh, and Monroe and Rosalie ftw! They are so cute. I know they tried to hide her pregnancy and they di a good job for the most part, but there were a few times that you can tell.
Wu actually got a lot of screen time this episode. How cute was the picnic scene? It was an great episode for me but not awesome. As for the how Wessen know Nick is a Grimm explanation, not good enough. Why can't he just ask Monroe how he knows he's a Grimm already. He asks him everything else, anyway. It's starting to get like how the locket was brought up and dropped for a very long time and then we finally get a few scenes and then Mama Grimm tells him exactly what it is. It's one of those nitpick things that is going to annoy me.
Really? The 28th? CTV is really confusing the hell outta me with this one >___>;;; I'll trust NBC on that one. I was sure it was coming back friday, later...but the canadien promo showed a ''next monday'' commercial....wth
Yeah I was so happy about that too. It was too weird and cheesy. I prefer the 1st season title card over this years's sequence, but without the voice it was so much better.
Got to love how they are handling the selective amnesia storyline so far - less ship angst, more interesting plotlines and character growth. Its nice to see that it has multiple important purposes, apart from, well, angst.
The episode otherwise was AWESOME. Hank is becoming more and more likeable, Wu is getting more screentime and at the same time the main plotline is ALSO progressing alongside everything else, in style of David Greenwalt's previous shows.
Apparently, they've changed their minds. My guess is that they've decided to wait until the end of September to air the episodes that have been filmed, and meanwhile Bree Turner will have had her baby and be ready to film new episodes.
The one mystery I really wish they'd resolve already is why did Aunt Marie tell Nick to break up with Juliette? Other than as a Grimm he puts her in constant danger (she's been attacked 3 times now, including the cat scratch), I can't think of anything.
Fantastic episode. I love that Wu is getting more screen time, Hank is worming his way farther and farther into my favorites list, and maybe best of all, they cut that ridiculous voice over from the title sequence. I've really got to give it to the writers - they stepped up their game this season. I've enjoyed everything about this season so far, and I have a great feeling about the rest. The characters are all developing really nicely.
Funny moment when Monroe said "Nick! you didn't have to kill her" to nick when he brought her back lol
IMO seems Captain is a double agent and it was shown he has a mole for the royal families to spy on them an give updates, which makes me wonder who's side he's really on?
lol... DVR = Did not notice. :-) Glad it is gone. But I do love the new shot with Hank, Nick and Monroe standing together to fight the good fight. I'm sleep deprived and can't remember if I've seen it before or not.
I was all ready to make an excuse for Nick not knowing an then I hit your extremely logical point of why Nick doesn't just ask Monroe. Excellent point.
Except that I keep coming back to the point that, given it is hereditary, he needs to have a child with someone. So, Aunt Marie's edict makes little sense to me. (Personally, I'm inclined to believe (okay, I'm hoping really hard) that this might be something they've changed since the pilot. The actress that plays Juliette said that the character is a baker in the pilot. I'm hoping this is another point that they've re-thought since shooting the pilot.)
If I were Juliette and finally found out about Nick I'd be furious at him for not telling me the minute he found out...or at least the minute he began to understand what was going on with him. IMHO it is NOT protection to leave someone in the dark about a danger that could hit so close to home. Especially when you're dealing with an adult. It's a lot easier to protect someone when you tell them there is a danger out there and give them some hope of protecting themselves. The coma would never have happened if Juliette was informed. She would have known not to trust Adalind and not gotten close enough for that cat to scratch her.
He doesn't "need" to have a child. ;] Well, it depends how the Grimms regard their abilities, whether they see them as a duty or just a curse. Aunt Marie seemed quite regretful that Nick came into his "powers", same as his mother. She would never have insisted on prolonging the family line just for the sake of it. I agree, keeping your loved ones in the dark about something this dangerous isn't protecting them. But he made this choice himself in good faith. His immersion into this strange and unknown world came very unexpectedly, and he couldn't foresee all the consequences his actions may bring. He is learning still. Besides it can't be easy telling somebody things that would make you sound as clinically insane. ;]
Very good one once again. This season is being excellent so far! I thought they could have done more with the epidemic, I like big stake episodes a lot but the character interactions were very nice. I feel Hank is accepting everything too easily though, but well, he had seen it before, so he has reasons to believe it, but still. Monroe & Rosalee were adorable, and I liked Juliette's little search. Love Bud!
Hm, the idea that the Wesen can, intentionally, show themselves to humans wasn't a snag for me at all. Maybe its because I had a HUGE problem with the 'only Nick can see Wesen' at all aspect of the series. That didn't work for me until someone, on SpoilerTV, phrased it in a way that I could work with. To paraphrase...I believe the wording was something along the lines that NIck isn't looking at their physical faces but the essence of their nature. If I look at it that way then I can believe that they *do* have a physical Wesen face, which they reveal far more rarely and that's what Hank can see.
Love that they got rid of the narration; but without it, it kinda negates to point of such a long intertitle, they are not even using it to present the cast members.
Besides that, awesome ep, every character had something important to do, even Wu!!
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.
My favorite episode so far this season.

ReplyDeleteLoved this episode. :D
ReplyDeleteVoted Awesome because it was!
ReplyDeletewas so romantic and dangerous at the same time
ReplyDeleteYESYESYES they cut out the awful voice over in the opening title sequence.
ReplyDeleteYeah I was so happy about that too. It was too weird and cheesy. I prefer the 1st season title card over this years's sequence, but without the voice it was so much better.

Really, just flawless episode all around. 5/5

ReplyDeleteWell, there is no other reason. Why would there be? Aunt Marie told Nick to break up with Juliette to protect her.

ReplyDeleteBelieve or not which im saying i don't believe but according to Wikipedia David Giuntoli is the narrator for the opening sequence of season 2.
ReplyDeleteFunny moment when Monroe said "Nick! you didn't have to kill her" to nick when he brought her back lol
ReplyDeleteIMO seems Captain is a double agent and it was shown he has a mole for the royal families to spy on them an give updates, which makes me wonder who's side he's really on?
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a great ep, but it seemed to fly by.
Loved the little dude trying to cover for his slip. A Grimm is a cop that helps the helpless. L0L
Sgt. Wu, dear man….if you had enough probable cause to go into the house you should have called for back up *before* going into the house. :-)
Hank was doing a pretty good job of getting on the bandwagon.
lol... DVR = Did not notice. :-) Glad it is gone. But I do love the new shot with Hank, Nick and Monroe standing together to fight the good fight. I'm sleep deprived and can't remember if I've seen it before or not.

I love that shot with the team standing too! :D

It's still a mystery to me how Hank sees, as the explanation given during the episode was quite lame.

ReplyDelete"He doesn't "need" to have a child. ;]"
ReplyDeleteGood point. The world needs Grimms and, by extension, the line to continue. But Nick hasn't been indoctrinated into that belief.
Hm, the idea that the Wesen can, intentionally, show themselves to humans wasn't a snag for me at all. Maybe its because I had a HUGE problem with the 'only Nick can see Wesen' at all aspect of the series. That didn't work for me until someone, on SpoilerTV, phrased it in a way that I could work with.

I choose to believe the car was hit by the cat. :P
ReplyDeleteIt was great!! Not sure how I feel about Hank knowing yet though...
ReplyDeleteOMG my God , Hank knows. LOL I love Monroe.
