Ah, yeah. For some reason I couldn't remember the name of the show. It didn't matter enough to actually Google it.

Robert Carlyle. Him playing Rumple is quiet entertaining.

Right, someone help me out here.
This show is about the most boring and undramatic police officer that's ever been on screen.
Seriously, you could take 'THE GRIMM' away and just do a show about the Wolf and I'd watch it and enjoy it more.
Does he EVER do anything ?

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

I have to admit that I'm only playing tourist in what is a fairly interesting bit of world-building while I wait for Dudley Do-Right to actually develop some character. It would be easier if they hadn't so thoroughly foreshadowed that the girl-friend is doomed to either die, or turn against him in a big way.

Wouldn't it be cool if the girlfriend turns out to be totally okay and completely supportive with Dudley Do-right being a "Grimm" and all that? The way she is being written now, seems to be the usual bad/lazy TV writing (if not sexist) portrayal of women as the total drag/weight on the protagonist.
Being a Grimm is supposedly a family based enterprise. I don't know how they can perpetuate themselves down the ages if their spouses don't support them. Maybe that's why Grimms are near extinction.

As much as my wife loves this show, I agree with a lot of what's said here. The main dude's an idiot, like Batman with Down syndrome. I'm sure they'll (eventually) let the GF in on the whole thing, and maybe then things can get more serious, but right now the show just seems like a REALLY long pilot.

I had the same thought in that Grimms have to procreate at some point so what the hell was the aunt thinking telling him to drop the ugly chick? I mean really... who better to be partners with than a vet; considering most of the shit Deputy Dunce encounters are beasties.
I still really only watch because of Monroe.

Yes. Except he LOOKS like Clark Kent. |

Took all season, but finally he looked like the lead character...
Glad this got renewed.

I know. It's like all of a sudden Bizzaro just snapped and turned back into Superman for a few good scenes.

Looks like I was right about the girlfriend, though. She's either going to die or turn into a hexenbeast (which might be the same thing) and become next season's Big Bad. Depending on how they handle it, Dudley Do-right might finally become interesting.

Arise!
The new intro is blech, but the show seems to be staying true to form. Monday nights... hope it keeps the momentum.

Mid-season finale was on Friday. I think the show is actually getting better now that they're dropping the curtain more and more. Me thinks that if they want to keep this series going, they're going to drop the whole "undercover Grimm is a cop" thing and he'll go rogue like his mother. After he kills his boss, of course  |

I have an odd feeling his boss, Sean, is going to turn out to not be the big bad the show originally had him painted out to be. Might be something like getting back at the family that shunned him. The last screen of the finale was priceless: To be continued... Sorry.  |

Hmmm. This new season is... enjoyable.

If only they would not rape the German language on a constant basis. The senseless German names for all the Wesen really grates on me and is detrimental to my enjoyment of the series.
The depiction of a German bar in Mannheim made me laugh though.

I just wish Grimms lady was even remotely approaching the quality of Blutbads two women.
But she's not. She's fine until you get to that face and realise a surgeon went fucking NUTSO on her.

' There was an interview I saw where they talked about all the Wesen names. They said that they just kept saying stuff til they got the name to sound cool. There is no rhyme or reason for the names they make up. |

I know. Which is why it is so painful for me to listen too. Just few quick examples. Blutbad = Blood bath Fuchsbau = Foxhole Häßlicher = ugly, yes, an adjective used as a noun (the "trolls" ) Why oh why would you not just use google to translate the fucking names. Pretty sure it sounds just as awesome to American ears. It also would be quicker. |

Wife is getting extremely pissed off that I can guess the ending of any given episode of this five minutes in.
I have orders to SIT DOWN AND SHUT THE FUCK UP.
Little Girl Wesen was the most gratuitously obvious example. 2 minutes in.

Sounds like your wife found the nerd version of project runaway. Is this show any interesting now? Or is it still about a cop stumbling into the monster of the week? |

And as I suspected...
Sadly, I hope they don't push this running theme as the only hook in the show - I liked the episodes that stood on their own rather than all pieces of a whole.

Clearly, this new ability is related to an increased Midichkloreanz Gesetzt. |
I traded in my fun blog for several legal blogs. Or, "blawgs," as the cutesy attorney blawgosphere likes to call 'em.

It is probably just another part of maturing into a Grimm. Heightened senses... Just hope they keep the weekly challenges up because if he becomes unstoppable it will kill the show.

TV show writers just came up with a better MMO than 15 years of industry experts. With bonus negative ping.
