I think you hit the central point of my disenchantment with the show. When a show is to the point where they kill characters regularly and bring them back, what is the point? It is simply a tool for sloppy writing and always gives the writers an out. Worse then you start to wonder what episodes will later be deemed dream sequences or whatever and you don't know what is storyline and what is malleable in the future.
Quote:Instead the predictable. The lobotomized or not lobotomized Eve will confront Nick who will somehow get it through his head this is no longer Juliette or it is still Juliette. Then he'll be so peeved that she's running around alive he'll either work himself into some kind of frenzy to bring her back or he'll join the uprising to get at her. Adalind will of course be fretting during this time period and contemplating whether she really wants her hexenbiests (there are two of them) to vacate or not.
Since this show has now hit the crapper they might as well do something bold. How about Adalind ambushes Juliette from behind with a frying pan, Juliette is not knocked out cold, and they tussle on the floor. Then (yeah you knew it was coming), Juliette suddenly kisses Adalind and they roll on the floor in a liplock, their unspoken love finally released. They straighten their clothes and rush off, to get married (fitting for Portland) and Juliette brings Diana to Adalind and they decide to raise Kelly and Diana together as a same sex couple. They can fight gender-identity bias in the workplace and Adalind can make a living suing bakers who will not bake a cake for her wedding and Juliette can lobby the state to fund gender reassignment surgery for cats and dogs so she too can make a living. Frankly it sound far better to me than where this show is headed.
Quote:I have nothing against family, or family shows. However, I have never seen Grimm as a family hour.I could do a lecture about this topic, but my family consist of a married mommy an daddy, the offspring: post college and employed, and a adorable little gray furry little kitty with little gray furry little kitty features.
Grimm is but trash TV and most instructive for young adults as a study in poor choices: living together, out of wedlock births, daddy roulette, dependency of unwed mothers and for the males, examples of the wonderful women you too can have if you don't mind a woman who has had more trains moving through her tunnels than grand central station, i.e a cheating whore.
On the other hand there may be an instructive case for a tale of redemption via Monroe and Rosalee, but the writers might mess that up yet.
Always a pleasure irukandji,
