Funny sidenote...
My mom doesn't watch Grimm, but my parents are visiting me, so occasionally she sits through it when I am. Last episode she was doing OK until Julieve showed up when my mom suddenly asks, "What's wrong with that woman?"; in response to which I laughed out loud for a good long time. It struck me as hilarious that my elderly mother could totally follow a story about a mind controlling wrestling mask made from the face of an animal human hybrid, but she couldn't make heads or tales out of why some woman would be wearing a white wig with sunglasses and a trench-coat while theoretically sneaking around Portland. Mom kept asking stuff like "Is she bald?", "Is the wig magic?", "Does the wig make her invisible?" (mom thought the wig had to make Julieve invisible otherwise Sean and Rachel would have spotted her sitting at the bar); "Is something wrong with her face?" (not Julieve's woge face, mom just couldn't figure out why Julieve was scowling the whole show), "Why is she so mean?", etc...

I think an enchanted wig would have been more believable than it being used as some weird disguise. That's a better use for it than what they came up with.
I find that we can accept a lot of strange things in our fantasy shows but can't look past things that would take a little common sense to fix. Juliette is the main perpetrator in this show. I can accept her being brought back from the brink of death but the attention-grabbing wigs she wears in public is too hard to look past. That combined with the hood and sunglasses and she's just begging for people to notice her. Nick and Monroe can solve an 800 year old mystery in a matter of days but Eve can't come up with a better way to remain inconspicuous? I won't talk about her scowling because I don't know how to explain that.
Please post more of these if you have any. It was the most entertaining read I've had all week.
