I think as magic grows in the world again, Dany will have more equally matched opponents. She just hasn't encountered them yet. Also, not being able to produce an heir is going to be a big problem for any sort of future rule. So that's an issue. And why is being a type of "chosen one" an issue in this lore? That's a…

I too actually enjoy the show on a basic entertainment level, esp. since it visibly and audibly has the trapping of a consistently well-plotted drama. Love your analogy of the monster(s).

Thanks for that background info! I'll have to check out that Martin Guerre book/film.

I was slightly surprised and let down actually…and then annoyed. (I am embarrassed to admit, I've only seen like 15 mins of SotL).

I love how we call that guy, "Pocky!"

I agree re: the Ben hurtin Adam thing. I bet it is not that bad. But I do find it unbelievable that Willa, thw mom, and Ben feel so free as to basically yell talk about how he is not Adam in the house. The dad or oldest bro could overhear easily in that giant house!

I found the relationship exploration betwn Willa and the oldest bro touching. It helps to round them out as characters. Andrew McCarthy deserves accolades for his performances. I still can't tell to what degree Ben hurt Adam…it is disturbing to not know more info. Also, I really don't feel sorry for Jane. Why would…

I did consider that, but wasn't sure since I don't think we've seen the growth trajectory of other Hexe kids in this world yet.

Yeah, it is annoying that Juliette didnt die. I dislike Eve and her her very fake looking wigs. Why does she get wigs, and Trubel doesn't? I mean, Trubel's haircut is amazing, so she should't wear wigs. I think Eve hiding her real hair undercuts the visual impact of her emotional change.

Didn't Adalind also have a little crush on Meisner too? Maybe Diana wants a new daddy!

I truly appreciate that the actress playing Diana has a true physical likeness to her tv parents. Also, scary to think that Diana is mostly hexenbiest and her half bro is half Grimm! Last thought: how old is Diana supposed to be? I thought she'd be more like 5 or 6 years old by this point. She looks about 10 to me…

I'm all for nonsense, but knew I wouldn't be along for 2nd season shenanigans when I genuinely didn't care if Ronda lived or died in the 1st ep after the hiatus…and of course her memory has lapses… Too bad, this could have been an incredible show. Even the fashion doesn't seem as exciting as in the first season.

I think the logo is a mountain…?

Yes, to the reason Gabe/FBI was brought in (pretty sure). And 100% yes to dumb lady cop shooting that guy in the hotel room! Unless he was just seriously injured… This show only cares about reality when convenient.

Yeah, they treat him like the third useless child…like the youngest sister on Family Matters.

Oh right! I thought maybe I had misheard. I thought he was going to the debate too! I wish he had so we could have been spared useless Bridey "lesbian lifestyle blogger" scenage (yes, I just made that word up).

Great observations! How is that stupid lady cop not at least suspended?? I think, maybe they thought the older brother was going to stay at home with Ben, but he went out drinking instead? And speaking of family values, how has the incumbent Gov not used older bro's drinking problems against Claire? And yes, that…

I love how literally everyone else makes better detectives than the actual police. I think Andrew McCarthy has a very sharp memory, honed further by his time in jail (plenty of time to get good at observing small details and waiting out long idle time spans). I am still mad about the foster father and non-reporting of…

Right, but he seemed to have a glimmer of some happy memories..at least the dog was nice… if the foster place was so bad, why would he seem to take solace there night after night??

Yeah, I thought it eas selfish that Claire never inquired into who Ben was? He's like a real life changeling.
