Revenge was implied, but I kind of thought she might be trying to get back in touch with Nick, and to try and blackmail him into somehow reversing what he did to her.  It sure seemed like something you'd do if you wanted to get Nick really mad and trying to find you.  It would have been nice to have some monologuing,…

The police in Portland should really start keeping a Silly Names file, they all end up either suspects or victims.

I kind of wanted that clipshow montage to go on forever, getting more and more in the "Remember this inexplicable event that you shrugged off within twenty minutes?… And this one?… And this one also?"  And I wished it had included up front, "Remember last week, when you said you thought maybe all the creatures from…

Benedict Cumberbatch was more than amazing enough before I found out that his full name was Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch. 

Thanks, @avclub-525f76574b3a2a5bcb4da793c92a16fb:disqus , I hadn't seen that one before.  As a post-1980 person, I definitely had a jolt at the beginning (just at the phrase "woman driver") but it's just so dang funny.  I think there could be funny versions of it with a man or teenage driver but I think part of what's…

Good call.  There's also the aspect of the townspeople coming down on Hans-My-Hedgehog echoed in Munroe's fear of torches and pitchforks.  Generally I'm of the opinion that Grimm should give up on choosing a story for each episode and just explore the world they're building, but it's really interesting to see the…

Yeah, "monstrously stupid" is pretty accurate for Nick.  At least he didn't outright say "no, it didn't change, you're crazy" but still, he could have at least said "I don't know, I wasn't looking" or something.  Still implausible but less horrible.
Also— they know there's a weird drug involved, just blame it on the…

The first Grimm I actually watched on a Friday night instead of warily reading the review before watching it on Hulu turned out to be pretty good!  Juliette connecting the dots, wesen seen by the general public, Hank finally seeing something blatant enough not to reject it out of hand.  I hope this means Juliette and…

Yeah, the quote makes sense by itself, but I agree the surrounding story doesn't seem to have any particular relevance to this plot.  Ooh, or maybe the princess is society.

That is truly amazing.  

I'm always stupid enough to click but for my own sanity I got out of there after one page.  However, I did get a kick out of the previous article being "Why are divorce rates so high?"

You're completely right that both episodes' plots will be done better later on.  I enjoyed these when I first watched them, and I do think the later-on episodes are enriched by the fact that we have some framework about these relationships (O'Brien/Bashir, Odo/Mora, that is— nothing else is really memorable to me) to…

Sansa's also gotten kind of sneaky.  I give her a lot of credit for saving the life of the stupid knight that Joffrey tried to drown in wine.  She's building some calluses, but she's also not descending completely into numb apathy as she has every right to do at this point. 

Yes, yes, but c'mon, people, Stannis would definitely be a prescriptivist.

Yeah, although I was really hoping for some throat-slitting I guess I agree with the general argument here.   If Theon dies in the night and Brann disappears, there's just mass chaos.  If they can't kill all the invading soldiers, it's better to leave the power structure intact. 

I generally recommend Blink to get the general feel of the show, followed by The Eleventh Hour. 

I love Midnight so much.  I think you've hit on something with the all characterization, no action thing, and I also think it was important to have The Doctor shaken up (kind of addressing Trurl's point).  I didn't mind a lot of the Tenth Doctor's operatic moments, but I thought Midnight was thrilling because it took…

Smith.  Never thought I'd be saying that a few years ago.
