OK, I know I'm jumping the gun a little here, but finished watching S1 last night and wanted to enter these things while it was still fresh in my mind.
So, here are my picks for Season 1.
Favorite Episode:
Going with "Island of Dreams". It was a toss up between this one and "Leave It To Beavers". I went with Island because we meet Rosalee for the first time!
Getting ahead of myself a little, but Rosalee has been as solid as a rock through the entire series. She has been friend, lover, "sister", confidante, councilor, apothecary and combat medic to the rest of the crew. She has been asked to do dangerous, illegal and downright disgusting things and never once asked for praise or reward. They don't make them any better!
Least Favorite Episode:
"Lonelyhearts". I know such things have actually happened where young women have been held captive by rapists. Still I found this episode disturbing and not very enjoyable at all. The show seems to have had some issues with rape fantasies over the years that I have never cared for.
Favorite Wesen:
Damonfeuer hands down! Danielle Panabaker was totally hot in every sense of the word. Yes, I'm a pig! I'm a guy and I may be getting older but I ain't dead yet!
Lamest Wesen:
Mauzhertz. C'mon these critters would have gone extinct in a single generation. Every other wesen on the planet would have eaten them!
Dropped Plotline:
Renard as a wesen crime lord. I think I understand why the writer's dropped this one. In the show's world Nick and Hank are damned good detectives. They would have caught on sooner rather than later.
That would have led to a confrontation with Renard that would have resulted in the characters' elimination from the show. Probably in season 2, but early Season 3 at the latest. They wanted to keep the character long term so they just let the matter drop.
Still, I would have liked to have seen that play out. Would have been interesting.
Well, that's it for me for now. Looking forward to hearing from the rest of you grimmsters!
