"And they’re angry about the theme of men destroying the world and starting wars compared to women nurturing and rebuilding it, but that’s just a reality."

I just assume these things take place in a subtly different, slightly desaturated alternate universes where serial killers are so common, people have long since stopped caring about them.

On the bright side, the police department has a spectacularly good record of finding perpetrators on even the thinnest of evidence, or seemingly none at all. So an F for prevention, but an A+ for investigation!

Indeed. At the point Nick found out that Juliette had gotten his mother beheaded, I realized that even if she were cured or became good again (as I thought she would be), he would still never be able to stand the sight of her.

I definitely approve of the direction the show has taken. You need to shake up the status quo every now and then! There are no stakes when everything ties up neatly by the end of an episode, and that's always been the number 1 weakness of Grimm as a show. When you have all this sound and fury, it's rather predictable

Bring on the big scary vampire bat Wesen, I say. We haven't had many (any?) flying Wesen, imagine the horror of something that swoops down upon you! Yes, swooping is bad.

Helium is generated due to radioactive decay. It is present as a trace in our atmosphere in a more-or-less constant ratio as a result of the continuous loss and production. Even if all the natural gas supplies are exhausted- something very, very far in the future, considering untapped supplies of the gas are estimated

One designer of the R100, the famous Barnes Wallis, outlined a list of problems airships must overcome in order to become viable- chief among them, better control, power, and ground handling characteristics. Cargolifter didn't fail, per se, because they never even got to the point of building their airship, much less

Small blimps are more than a hundred times less massive than the airships in the article. The interior of the R100 resembled a three-story hotel, with staterooms for 100 passengers. The ill-designed R101, by contrast, had a two-deck design more reminiscent of an ocean liner like Titanic. To this day, that airship

Those are not the only lighter-than-air gases, nor indeed are they the only ones used in airships and balloons; they are simply the most powerful. Steam, pure ammonia, and hot air are also used, although Helium will remain the gas de jure for the forseeable future. Our current shortage is due to problems with

Does anyone else think that Hexenbeists are an all-female species, and that's the reason Renard gets pissed when people mistake him for one? We've seen no male ones. I highly doubt the Royals are Zauberbeists, it seems more likely that Zauberbeists are the sexually dimorphic, magic-less male offspring of Hexenbeists.

Pretty sure something like that would turn off after menopause.

Monroe: "Hey!"

I don't think it's really unreasonable for Juliette to have reservations about Nick going from a fairly pedestrian detective to a monster slayer. Sometimes people just aren't 100% compatible, and that's totally okay.

I always think of Gypsy Lady as Admiral Shala'Raan from Mass Effect. God bless that smoky voice and thick accent.

"Well that was hurtful" indeed, though in fairness, Nick IS still a zombie, so he ain't exactly in a position to criticize Juliette's sudden monsterization.

She doesn't seem to recognize that Nick, Rosalee and Monroe have near-infinite tolerance for people not actively trying to rip their faces off. They'd certainly be willing to help her if she was carrying Nick's munchkin, though it's debatable how much help they could be against the Royals.

Bring on the freaky biology Wesen! Hermaphrodites are so passé- there are trigendered cannibalistic parasites that live in lobster gills and are born pregnant. Certain species of isopod have males devour females to become impregnated themselves. Hyenas are practically an all-male species, with females being larger,

That's downright eerie. But at the same time, it feels intuitively true, sadly.

Wow. Woooow. Talk about First World Problems.
