I had the exact same thought regarding Henry being a genius and math wiz. (I should have waited to read your comment before posting something similar up above. Sorry.) I think it would be hilarious if the son they all ignore or disregard grows up to be the next Steve Jobs/Bill Gates, the ultimate capitalist, and the…

I thought the same thing as you while watching the "hiking" scene: "Brenda's" laugh seemed not just extra loud but also very forced in nature, and that "hike" seemed a lot more like a leisurely stroll. Brenda's outfit certainly didn't resemble any hiking outfit, I've ever seen, not with those dressy pants and normal…

I think we learnt more about Henry this episode than in the whole prior season! As for "growing," I bet he's grown into some sort of math prodigy with a natural aptitude for computers or something, thanks to all those video games he plays, and *that* is what his math teacher wants to talk about: Henry being gifted.…

The Walmart line was so disdainful and insensitive, I actually cringed and twitched a little. And it didn't feel like the character's fault, but the "writers.* It came across to me like writer's snark and a poor attempt to be witty, even if the character/Peter is a bit of an ass himself. Still, as best as I can…

Great point about the sharp contrast in those two roles. Speaking of food films, have you seen "Big Night" with Tucci and Tony Shalhoub? It's a lovely small gem that is a Must-See if you're a foodie. Tucci even co-wrote it, and it has a host of stars in small roles (like Isabella Rossellini, for example). Just don't…

I would never have imagined that Pauline and Mamacita together would be so captivating, but their two scenes this episode were perhaps my favourites in the whole episode. And yes, this show has a remarkably deep bench of talent in all the roles, big or small.

Stanley Tucci grabbed my attention from his very first scene in the first episode, but his scenes here carried a different sort of weight because Warner was so quiet this time. He drew blood from both Aldritch and Crawford with almost a sorrowful, regretful expression on his face. And that made his words wound twice…

Mamacita's census speech in the dinner was one of the highlights of the episode for me. That head for research, numbers, socio-economic projection from a seemingly unassuming, quiet, occasionally dour woman… I LOVED it!! If only the male-oriented economic elite would listen when the time came but, as we see even…

To answer your question, the cause of Diana's unique powers and strength seems to be the special gypsy/magic ritual that Adalind went through during her pregnancy to get her Hexenbiest powers back. :)

I completely agree about the flashbacks, and I pretty much said the same thing in another comment below. Not only were there too many flashbacks, but some felt quite irrelevant, like the scene with the young girl in the cabin eons ago. That added nothing to the story. Plus, they used the Hitler opening montage which…

I spluttered out/snorted up my coffee at that last sentence. I'm still laughing.

I was wondering what exactly Sol said to Kenny Loggins, too. I loved how Sol called "700 times," even if that was undoubtedly hyperbole.

The local stations have severe weather alerts at the drop of a hat, even for a mere 10 minutes of rain. They could have used the running ticker tape warning that they sometimes use, until the episode ended a mere 3 minutes later. If the situation were genuinely serious, rather than their usual over-reaction, then I'd…

Hilarious. I'd like Adam Sandler to go up in flames every movie, too.

{{{{Seabreeze.}}}} I'm sorry for your loss, but you did the brave, loving thing. I bet she's playing now like a carefree kitten with my late Kafka in the Rainbow fields. Man, I wish there were more meaningful, less trite sounding things to say about painful loss, but there never is. It just sucks, period. I hope it…

Excellent point about how it might have been while Kelly was on the run and why that might cause her to think the child would be safer in other hands. (You remember the tiny details of this show probably better than anyone but the writers!! 😄)

You took the words right out of my mouth, Seebreeze.

Interesting. I wonder how on earth the producers will raise this issue out of the blue since the possibility has never been raised or even hinted at in the show's universe. If they are half-siblings, it will also be interesting how they explain away Kelly's decision to give away her daughter but keep her son.

I think Grimm's previews are generally quite true to what ensues, but let's keep our fingers crossed that Wu and Hank are resuscitated despite the various clips of Nick grieving. The finale will really be hard for me if they don't return. This is one show where I need the corniness and close "family" to remain intact…

There were some great one-liners in this episode, and Les pointed out two that made me snort out loud, Wu's existential crisis line and the reminiscences at the cabin.I cracked up at the latter. "We needed to hide the key from you." "That was before I had a kid with you. [*Looks at Renard.] Or you. [*Looks at Nick.]"
