Especially since Eskimo Pies are like the bud light of ice cream bars. Not worth a trip out just for that.

Another disease that might fit is Ebola. It leaves the bodies of the diseased in a highly contagious condition, and the local people's funeral customs were the main vector of its spread. To stop it, health officials had to intervene and adapt these customs to the realities of the disease.

So many good character moments. It's a cliché for a pacifist to decide to chuck principles and kick some ass, but it can still resonate if done right, and Danielle Panabaker as Layla does it perfectly.

Given that there's a black market for genetic enhancement, it seems to work just about as well as "Just say no".

@avclub-d1348cfe54a94fe6f986775cedd75fdd:disqus  When you have a near miss with something like the Outrageous Okona, clearly you want to give the lovable space scoundrel template another spin, maybe with more latex facial applications this time. :-)

At my high school, Seniors were not allowed to show up on skip day (official title "Career day"). The understanding was that this was a liability   issue.  Skipping seniors were quite capable of injuring themselves through various combinations of drinking, driving, and outdoor recreation. I guess if they were supposed…

Probably the best element of this season in terms of keeping things going for a while was the Men of Letters and their secret headquarters. It gives the boys a lot of new resources, their archives have the potential to serve as the jumping off point for missions, and it solidifies Sam's role in contrast to Dean, the…

Built with the best technology 1958 had to offer.

A little tip for all the criminal masterminds out there. If you build a crime spree around Purgatorio instead, it will take a little longer for the authorities to catch up with you.

The science content is excellent. The narrator doesn't quite work for me. Trying a little too hard, maybe? Still he can do every episode if they promise to never let Pogue do another one.

Fortunately they decided not to try to explain Bree Turner's pregnancy as something that happened while zip-lining on vacation in Hawaii.

Do we ever see Nick making records of anything? If he's not careful he'll go down as "The Silent Grimm".

@avclub-a454375c08769338ac751fbe05cb4a4e:disqus Granted. No excuse for Eric though. And as far as we know, they are both in the running for paternity.

@avclub-8a63a26d1b764610b52392d7bfe8ba97:disqus  I agree, I was just making the observation. As Picasso said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal."

You'd think if having children outside the family was such a big deal, the males would be a little more concerned about birth control during their hookups, and avoid the elaborate plotting after the fact. But, that's aristocrats for you.

The rule with Grimm seems to be, the more they steal from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the better the show works.

Clearly, there is not a shortage of ammo per se, but just a shortage of ammo that can actually hit anything. It appears that Miles carries the entire world's supply of the good stuff on his person at all times.

Since they apparently had to switch the implant from lung mode to leg mode, I'm assuming any injured body part will be replaced with a perfectly healthy leg until further programming.

I'm not sure I see the wisdom of sending convicted prisoners out of Defiance's jurisdiction. They are more or less begging for things like the E-Rep's liberation to happen without their knowledge.

There were photocopied IDs and blood samples in the briefcase for:
Danielle Fournier (France)
Janika Zingler (Austria),
and Aryanna Giordano (Italy).
