One noblesse privelege I thought clever was contrasting Sister Harriet with Eleanor Gallinger by calling them both "baby-killers" in the episode. The former aborted fetuses for desperate women, the latter actually killed an orphan baby placed in her care. But only one of them is in jail.

If I have a problem with this show, it's that I never have a sense of what the stakes are or what's important to the characters. In this one episode we saw Coulson hand the toolbox over just after Fitz had absconded with it (in one of the show's best scenes to date), and Coulson turn himself in after using Deathlok to…

On the other hand, this was the same baby she'd already sold to a Gypsy and then promised to the Royals, so she's a bit late to the "all I want is my baby!" claim.

I did love that bit.

Human core body temperature doesn't lower during the winter. The body's natural homeostasis will exert whatever effort it needs to keep core temp at ~98.6°F — though in the winter doing so requires more energy, so ironically people are actually producing more body heat in the winter than summer.

This is one of the five worst-written episodes of Grimm yet. The WOTW was utter nonsense, every character was written as a moron, and things happened "just because".

Everything I've ever read from Millar just seems to drip with contempt for either the characters, the reader, or both. It makes for a thoroughly unpleasant experience.

I stand by my theory that they normally specialize in marrying closeted gay men, who give them at least one alibi-baby before taking up extended weekend "camping trips" with Marcus.

Unless your kind have taken on the honorable ancient role of alibi-wife to successful closeted gay men.

"Part-time" seems generous. I think she might be that one temp they only call when every other vet in the office has bird flu.

If Juliette ever actually went to work, she'd probably have enough money to get her own place. Then she wouldn't need to be trading Sean rent for booty (because let's just stop lying to ourselves.)

I have to think it somehow relates to what exactly makes a Royal a Royal, as that's something the show has never really explained very well. I have to think that their ability to exert such powerful control over the Wesen world and their obsession with Baby McGuffin because she has "royal blood" implies they have some…

Raina's reaction to her Terrigenesis reminded me of one of the really great classic Inhuman stories (I want to say in Thing #3): Quicksilver is determined to Inhumanize his infant daughter "no matter the cost" until Lockjaw the heretofore-mute teleporting St. Bernard says:

Any group of hackers that does not prominently feature CandyGirl is a waste of Internet.

Aethelwulf's high horse seems a bit wobbly, methinks.

I know it's not that sort of show, but: Ichabod stabbing his wife to death and then their son showing up to escort her soul to hell…

So ends one of my favorite ongoing Grimm subplots: Juliette's total Homer-Simpson-approach to her job. Grand total: tonight is the first time in 51 episodes she actually went to work.

Not for nothing, but it's worth considering that Oliver isn't just knuckling under to Merlyn, but actually manipulating events to have Ra's take care of Merlyn for him while protecting his sister. The fact that Merlyn has his team under surveillance (as we're reminded in this very episode) means that he has to keep…

On review, this ends a 41 episode streak of Juliette being the Homer Simpson of veterinarians.

As I understand his plan, he would only need to cut the wires on the bomb he was near to set the other four off. So probably not the best move.
