Oh, I assure you, they manage not to handle things efficiently on the phone either. One time I moved, and despite canceling my old comcast at the place I moved out of, they refused to stop billing me for it. REFUSED. Oh, of course I'd get people on the phone and they'd assure me it was now canceled, but they still

Oh, I'm not saying it's a good idea, just saying that as a cop it should occur to him that he's robbing them of their ability to enforce their own laws, and not evil nazi blood purity laws either, clearly things that are for public safety of wesen and humans. The killing as a penalty is obviously extreme, but since

Exactly, but I felt like he was putting the wesen population in a bad position, too. Maybe not all their laws are good, but they need to have some way to protect themselves from exposure to the world and crimes normal police can't get to. They're not going to reorder their society because there is one Grimm police man

The problem with Nick going all cop on the bounty hunter is that in a way, I think the wesen council is actually right. They do need a way to stop wesen from breaking certain laws because it would endanger wesen and humans and probably start some kind of giant world wide witch burning, monster hunting, human eating

I think initially his name was supposed to be Eddie Monroe, but then the writers decided not to go with that and at this point it's kind of a running gag that his full name will never be confirmed. But since his mother calls him Monroe it seems it would be his first name?

Yes, the reruns on TNT are what prompted my rec to him! The thing is though, instead of making her more complicated or complex, they ended up making her more one-note and about 10 times more stupid.

I know when I get woken up in the morning my body tries to do that anyway.

I've started a rewatch and I'm already coming up with things that seemed to have been changed. Like in the beginning, wesen don't always seem to know Nick is a Grimm when they woge. And Monroe can't even get near another Blutbad (who abducts the girl in the red sweater) without apparently turning into some mindless

Especially since now that TNT has starting airing it from the beginning there will probably be a viewership uptick.

I think they should make 'Nick doesn't word good under stress' a thing.

I have to wonder what the hell is wrong with some of the writer's social skills.

I've been rewatching early Grimm (I got my dad into watching it, this way he can talk with me about it and I'll remember what he's talking about) and it's amazing how much better early Adalind is. Like if you watch the first couple episodes of Grimm and then WHERE'S MY BABY the two portrayals might as well be

An interesting point- it didn't bother me simply because it is alphabetical and I have always had an unconscious (till I noticed it) tendency to pair names together alphabetically. Monroe and Rosalee sounds better to my ear than Rosalee and Monroe for some reason.

The show did show black people working in the club, being musicians and one of the fences was black. While they are somewhat playing fast and loose with history (obviously) it's realistic for work place, the place she eats at, and the place she rents from to basically be segregated. That's what segregated means, apart

I can't figure out if it's the writers being horrible or if they're setting up Wu to become a villain. I mean the poor guy has been dropping nutty hints and saying weird ass stuff slightly maniacally for weeks now, and then they drop this on him? It's pretty terrible.

I'm already dreaming of a plot where Scarlett sees cancer children at the hospital visiting Deacon and decides to cut her hair to donate it for wigs to a Locks of Love type program. Please Nashville, make this happen! Girl needs new hair.

Try some fruitcake. I am one of those rare heretics that actually enjoys it. But then, I also enjoy dried fruit and alcohol, and I enjoy traditional/historical baked goods more than most and will actually make things like panettone, which also has dried/candied fruit in it so your milage may vary.

These low grades for this show are killing me.

Yup, mine too.

I guess it's down to how much you care about shitting on adoptive parents. If you think finding their biological parents is the most magical thing a person can do, and adopted parents are just raising children until they're old enough to strike out on their own and find their real ones, then maybe it's a great movie.
