This season feel more for the writers/actors than the audience/fans. We have 3 more episodes that might be more explosive but so far I felt like 10 episodes have been sorta wasted.
Mine have. Last season's BC/HW arc took up way too much screen time for a supposed "global threat" that turned out not to be big enough to take down one Grimm and a small group of allies. Just as with the Juliette amnesia arc in S02, it went on way longer than the story could carry. This season they're salting little bits into the episodes the way they did in past seasons.
A lot of people seemed to be expecting the entire season to be some epic blockbuster like "The Return of the King," or "Deathly Hallows." That was never going to happen. The only potentially epic story Grimm ever had was a war with the royals over the seven keys, and after setting it up for four seasons they chose not to do it. The mirror monster has enough meat to carry a two-episode long TV movie, and that's what we'll get. The scoobies will save the world (or just themselves) from the big bad and resolve unsettled issues in their lives, with just enough of an open door left in case they manage to pitch some new project to Amazon Originals.
