If no one is supposed to know where Nick and Adeline are, how did Trubel know where to go to find her fellow Grimm?

Glad you mentioned this, as I had forgotten the diner went to Camelot and was puzzled as to how Snow and Lance got there and back again. Duh!

Yeah, it is too bad that with child actors you never know when the growth spurt of puberty is going to kick in.

And in Incredibles, first Bob is separated form his family, then the kids end up apart from mom, too and have to "find themselves" and their strengths to survive (esp. Violet) before the family is reunited. So they kinda all have their little hero sagas before rejoining as a unit, and ultimately becoming true to

Riley does at one point remove herself form her parents (attempt at running away) - but I think the main characters are actually Joy and Sadness, who do get separated from the rest of their group and have to find their way back home. Still a large part of the hero saga as per Campbell.

Yes! Someone else who has at least heard of Campbell and his work on the hero sage and power of myth! Heck, one of my kids had to read Campbell in high school!!!

Thor still had to be expelled from home, in effect losing his parents for a time, as part of his hero saga.

Joseph Campbell. Myth of the Hero. Had to do research on examples of the hero myth for a professor at UCLA. Heroes have to lose their mentors/guides/parents as part of the hero saga. This is not something Disney came up with on his own.

I complained to Amazon and am getting a partial credit (had read a third of the book already on Kindle). Did order the paperback to continue with. Plus of course pre-ordered the dvd!

Had to watch this via Tunnelbear to get to BBC as our internet provider (WOW!) dropped BBC America. BUT - I just pre-ordered it from Amazon - it comes out August 11th! While I wait to get to see it again, I am reading the book on my Kindle. Haven't seen any footnotes…do they come later in the book? Or does Kindle

OK, now that I have read some of the other posts that were made before I responded to bfred - if you have not seem the film version of Mockingbird, you might want to. It is that good a film.

Yes! And I truly wonder if folk's would be quite as dismayed at the change in character if he hadn't been made so "real" by Peck? The book and the film are intertwined now and forever (which is kudos to the filmmakers!)

Manners.

Yeah, and after all the accolades heaped on Mockingbird, and adoration of Atticus (particularly after Peck did such a stellar turn bringing him to "life" on-screen) how could Lee have had the heart to then say "Well, ya'all are looking at him like Scout does, through a child's eyes. That's not who he really is." So

I agree - we, like Jean Louise, are appalled at Atticus now in Watchman - but perhaps he is just representative of many white Southern adults of his time and place. Since Jean Louise as young Scout didn't "catch on" to his racism, and since Mockingbird was written from her view point of as child, we readers only saw

Yeah - and at the end when Nick goes back to the house, I kept wondering "Where are all the police cars?" as surely by now SOMEONE has found and reported the multiple murders of all the neighbors. Plus - where is the rest of Nick's mom's body? Did Monroe and the others just figure they'd let Nick clean up the mess?

Yeah, I mean, Nick just misses catching that chopper, so if Juliet had not gotten on she'd still be close by and Nick (or the audience) would have seen her. The King had talked of her future in Vienna….I can understand Juliet wanting to first finish off Nick so she wouldn't have to keep looking over her shoulder

I agree, Jack is inhabiting the captain, and either the "No!" is Nick finding his mom's dead body or having to kill Jack and then finding out it was his captain. I think Juliette is toast, no coming back from the dark side…and Adeline is going "Spike" and joining Team Grimm. I noted her line about having just been

Did it have to be swallowed? Couldn't they have filled a syringe or used a dart gun?
