The term I would use is "craftsmanlike." These are productions that don't aspire to be Cap-A Art, but want to be enjoyable, solidly-constructed and won't cause the participants to hang their heads in shame when someone says, "OH, yeah! I remember you from That Show!"

It didn't have to be a long storyline, but just one scene of Dadroe and Rosalee connecting a little bit an episode earlier would've smoothed it out.

Isn't that part of the drinking game?

The Grimm/Constantine pairing makes sense for the folks who don't have DVRs but who like supernatural shows. Which must be a much smaller number than NBC thinks, because it didn't seem to help save Dracula's bacon this past year.

Greenwalt seems to like to give his actors a chance to play a wider range, and it's hard to stretch as an actor when your character's been shanked by a spear. He's more likely to do variants on the Evil Mindcontrol or Evil Transformation plot device, like Fred becoming Illyria or in this episode Bitsie Tulloch getting

While I was happy to see Dadroe supporting Monroe's relationship with Rosalee, his character arc seemed too fast; like it was more dictated by the constraints of "Hey, we're out of episodes and he Dadroe needs to be a happy camper!" I had a similar feeling about Juliette's "I'm not sure the Grimm life chose ME"

My absolute favorite moment of the episode was them letting Silas Weir Mitchell have the absolute perfect "My god, she's beautiful!" take when Rosalee entered in her final wedding gown. If this had been a Whedon production, that's when she would've been impaled.

The nice thing about the sunglasses, though, was that Nick was all set for a Matrix-themed wedding.

I can't imagine any sort of redemption possibility for Ward. If they try it, the writers are morally bankrupt.

Ah, yes. The old "I can't refute you're arguments, so I will belittle them with vague references to superior knowledge" ploay.

The Magical Negro is "A movie cliché in which a black man with apparently supernatural powers
mysteriously appears, helps the white man in trouble get through his
problems for no reward, and then cheerfully leaves the story altogether." (thank you, Urban Dictionary!)

I expected more from the writers than to crib badly from "Serenity" for Fitz & Simmons moment underwater (remember Kaylee & Simon?), crib from Buffy for getting rid of Cosmic Garrett and worst of all use Nick Fury as the Magical Negro to both save Fitz & Simmons and set Coulson on his destiny.
