Ah sorry, the original review objected to that scene, I just hijacked this comment thread a bit.

In fairness, the trans-phobic woman at Pride moment segued straight into a completely solid character moment for Nomi, and about Nomi and Amanita's relationship. Could they have done it another way? Yes, sure. But the overall impact of the scene didn't strike me as labelling and it's one I'm pretty sensitive to…

Did you miss the part where they put Berlin up as the location every time they cut to him? There are significant events later on that establish him as living in Germany too.

Last I checked Berlin is in Germany not Russia. Although they did look like a Russian gang in many ways.

Knowing all we do about Jason, I agree. But having seen Connie's ability to refuse to accept inconvenient truths like Cosima and Jason's outward appearance as a successful entrepreneur what's not to like?

I agree. Also Pouchie, Pouchy or maybe Pouché not Punchy.

Left-hemisphere pencil-induced neurological deficit so she's relearning fine motor skills with her right motor cortex and left hand (they cross over).

I've seen the first episode and enjoyed it. I have read the book, although a long time ago. So far it seems like a decent adaptation to me, although after only one episode it's hard to be completely sure.

Given the pillars etc. he was waiting near her car, not outside the window for the secretary.

They said a degenerative brain disease, not necessarily CJD. Although CJD is familial but they wouldn't be looking for the original line to correct it, the identification would be easy in a mobile base and the fix ain't there with MUCH bigger resources than they can bring to bear.

Way back in s1 he says he's "going back to Coady's for a few days" to Sarah when she's pretending to be Beth. Virginia Coady is shitmother's name. So 2 years at least. We don't know about longer though, although the Castor boys have a level of familiarity as he does with shitmother that suggests it's longer, possibly…

Caroline obviously goes to different bars to you and me.

You need to re-watch the scene where Mrs. S talks about killing her husband, not him dying in some bar fight. She doesn't out and out say it, but read between the lines a little and it's pretty clear.

Fudge the time of death and fill in the paperwork saying he was interviewed and released for some reason. If the police can screw up their chain of evidence in big cases by accident and let people go at the wrong time, you can be damn sure they can do it by design when they really need to - even if they don't normally…

Caroline noticed Matt and Bonnie were missing, she bitched about it on the phone to Elena.

We don't really know what hexenbeists can do beyond telekenesis and brew potions and spells. But we do know there's lore to learn in there. I don't remember Adalind researching ways to bring people back from the dead before but there's nothing to say she didn't, or her mum didn't and she learnt the lore, just like she…

I think you need to listen to what Renard actually said. He said most crime is Wesen related one way or another. A crime where a human in a bar assaults an Eisbiber is Wesen-related with a human criminal. For all you have your dangerous Wesen that are more likely to harm another Wesen or human, you have your Eisbiber…

This would certainly make sense and avoid Cole being the source. If Cole is now re-exposed and splinters out just before the firestorm hits him and gets sent back soon, he could start the plague (he'll have live virus on his skin and clothes). But if it's really self-limiting and he's immune (and he survives) he's…
