phodreaw, not only have there been MANY developments this year, but IMO it is the best season so far. So dive in!

Well said, MissLucas. In Nick and Hank's defense, Nick asked Monrosalie many episodes ago if they were okay with telling Wu about their existence, and they asked him not to tell more Kehrseites. I'm honestly not convinced that telling Wu is going to come without consequences — he was so quick to try to shoot the…

I too wondered why Monroe didn't stay in Blutbad form during his entire escape. Seems like it would have made it easier to run fast, clamber over fences, etc. I doubt, however, that even as a Blutbad he could easily have ripped open chains or handcuffs.

Hear, hear! ** claps loudly **

I took that to mean that Juliette's evil Hexenbiest side was asserting itself during an unguarded moment. A true HB would never think a mere Fuchsbau was a threat. And she has Hexenbiest powers, so clearly she really *is* one.

Totally agree, Sensorsweep — I was 100% sucked up in the dream sequence until Rosalee started acting so bitchily towards Juliette, which she would NEVER. Although I was disappointed that her line about Nick forgetting his cop half and stepping up as a full-time Grimm was part of the dream, as I'm waiting for Nick to…

I usually love Wu, but I know exactly what you mean. He seems to believe that Nick and Hank didn't let him into the Scooby gang earlier because **they're big meanies and IT'S NOT FAIR!** His usual fun snarkiness has curdled into bitter snippiness, which makes me wonder if the writers are sowing the seeds for an…

Army9700, agreed. This episode distilled everything that defines Parenthood and its important characters, without dragging in distractions like Hank's wife and daughter. A perfect, honestly emotional episode that left me teary but satisfied. Grade A for me.

Absolutely agree, Rene. I was a weepy, ugly crying mess throughout most of this episode. That scene when Drew said "I love you, Grandpa," and hugged feeble Zeek just DESTROYED me. For me, a perfect episode.

Joel was SO satisfying in this episode, because it reinforced both his commitment to the Bravermans and to Zeek (the Zeek and Joel "Go to Her" chat last ep was an emotional high point for the series, IMO). And I loved Julia's unhesitating "he's my husband" comment to the nurse who initially was only letting "family"…

Agreed — he was fantastic in every scene, especially his interactions with Drew. So subtle, I still can't believe he's the same light comedian who coasted through years of ELR. I found myself tearing up for Hank multiple times, which I *never* would have assumed when he was introduced in this role.

Also, Haddie had a LONNNNG period when she pretty much got into every kind of trouble possible. Until college she was a little hellion, at least partially because Kristina and Adam were so focused on Max. So their mad parenting skillz essentially fucked up two out of three kids.

I know! I still miss Eureka…

Not totally true, IMO. Ryan Murphy makes shows that are good for a season to a season and a half. The first seasons of Nip/Tuck, Popular, even Glee were all good. Sometimes the second season is good, too. But then there's always a rapid slide into gimmicks, dramatic overkill and nonsensical plotlines…

Yeah, I love how everyone in the Scoobies is suddenly a crack shot who can hit all the red shirt vamps in the head at thirty paces, but when Eichorst and the Master are there they're all "Ruh-roe!" Not to mention when Eichorst is doing the moonwalk and they all stand there stupidly staring.

100% agree about the dumbass writing on this show:

And despite all that chaos and audible vamp attacks, the news says it's just a "crime spree."

Like a couple of eps ago when Eph left Harlem in the early morning, got on the subway to Queens, went to his house and suddenly it was pitch black outside. No matter when they leave the Pawn Shop, it's always nighttime an hour later…

Hey, Siberia may have been a ratings flop (because it was scheduled at the same time as Under the Dome) but it was actually pretty good!
