That was great, but I also loved the part afterward, when Wu asked Hank if he could see the waitress woging and he replied that Wesen always get nervous and try to escape when they see what Nick is. It made it explicitly clear that, even though humans on this show have seen a lot of Wesen faces recently, there still

Totally respect your opinion on this, but I have to say it doesn't bother me that the whole demon-hunting gang isn't with John every episode. To me, Constantine is a natural loner who has learned to work well with others but doesn't need their input with every mission. Especially after seeing his friends who *do*

LoveWaffle, ITA. And can I just say that it really irritates me when I read people on Twitter saying that they stopped watching the show because Constantine wasn't chain-smoking every second? I really like this show for reasons other than his alcohol/tobacco consumption (namely, I think Matt Ryan is fantastic and

Agreed about the others being off with their own lives. Zed resting in particular made sense after her collapse in the hospital last episode.

I took that scene with the tape recorder to mean that he was so cut off emotionally from everybody at that point that speaking in front of a group was impossible. Whereas at the end he had acknowledged that protecting his students from future harm was important, and hiding himself behind a recording was no longer

Evil Lincoln, thanks for another great recap. I wonder if Renard's "stigmata" is something that will have to be cured magically by Julibiest (since her condition was caused by his mama's spell, as was his return to life). Or maybe Henrietta can help him?

Having actually been in an Airstream trailer, I would conclude that Aunt Marie used Whovian tech to make it into a Grimm Tardis. That thing was HUGE.

Agree about Juliette — I get her reluctance to tell him, but the dream in which Nick attacked her with his axe just didn't ring true for me. She has to know, even subconsciously, that Nick would NEVER hurt her. He never killed Adalind, even though he had good cause, and it was Kelly who killed Adalind's mom, not him.

I said this last week, but Wu being this involved with all the Grimm-y secrets is still making me nervous. Not only is his new knowledge of the Royals/Keys dangerous to his safety, but I don't think he truly believes that Nick's Grimm business should be above (human) law. I think his reaction at the end, when Nick

Right? This is the most interesting and expressive she's ever been. And I *like* Juliette.

Yeah, I don't know that the point of Joelia adopting Victor was that they were Barren Forever. I liked them becoming the new Zeek & Camille, with four kids.

He really did. His work on Parenthood was subtle but effective and he 100% inhabited that role. Loved Zeek's acceptance of him at the end — it mirrored my own. I have such respect for him as an actor now.

100% agree. I have cried enough this season about Zeek and come to terms with his inevitable passing. I didn't need an explicit death scene to sledgehammer my emotions any further.

Agreed, although Kristina has annoyed me so much this season that I mentally fast-forwarded through every scene she had. I'm sure she will be as terrible on the Magic Nonprofit board as she was as Headmistress.

LOVE Jabbar, and this would be a perfect career for him! If I were ranking the Braverman grandkids for adorableness (leaving out Amber and Drew), he'd be first, followed by Nora, Victor, Aida, Haddie, (huge gap) Max, and (gap the size of the caverns of Hell) Sydney.

I unabashedly like About a Boy, and have since it started. Like all Katims shows, it is unironically sentimental at times, but also funny and charming. I appreciate that it has resisted obvious romantic pairings, and built up a good-sized ensemble cast that are funny in their own right. Plus, as noted, bonus

I really wish that "critical acclaim" had translated into Emmys/Globes/SAGs, etc., instead of the almost total vacuum of awards (or even nominations) for this show over the years. Maybe that would have persuaded more viewers to tune in.

Speaking of mixed race children, I've often thought (and was reminded last night) that Jabbar IMO looks EXACTLY like a biracial offspring of Crosby and Jasmine. Facial structure, expressions — the casting director hit it out of the park on that one.

Agreed — IMO, this has been Bonnie Bedelia's best season. Her gradual breakdown as Zeek's condition deteriorated reduced me to tears several times. It also made me realize that Camille's reserved nature throughout the series (compared to Zeek) was not BB's inherent stiffness, but an acting choice — and in fact her

Eh, that didn't bother me so much…my sisters were away in college when I was in junior high and high school and they had finals during my graduation. I got over it, and there were certainly enough Bravermans present for Max not to care if Haddie just Skyped him afterward.
