But you made a statement that she was not convincing, and went on to discuss why, throwing a baby and lack of “acting chops” on the table. You know perfectly well that I’m not the only one who think Claire Coffee showed great acting skills. I’m not going to dig up old posts or other sources.(10-22-2020, 01:32 PM)N_grimm Wrote:(10-21-2020, 03:42 PM)irukandji Wrote: The character should believe that she is capable to making such a personal journey.

Many others, including myself, found her acting in that department very convincing.
You apparently did not read my post that well: I'm saying that Claire's acting was unconvincing in that department.
Also, I would recommend you take some of the advice you give out so freely:
Many others, including myself, found her acting in that department very convincing.
You can only speak for yourself, and not for MANY OTHERS.
I’m not giving advice any more than you are lecturing others in how not to post.
But to get back to the issue at hand:
When Adalind was a villainess, manipulating others, she had facial expressions that told the viewers that she had ulterior motive. When she looked at Nick during season 5 and 6, she had an expression of honesty and love. When you claim it was “easy to see her march right back to evil without missing a beat”, you ignore that Adalind NEVER had the sly smile on her face that used to be her villainess trademark. How was Adalind’s change suppose to “come from within” anyway? Given the time she had on screen between wesen of the week plots, what did you expect? She talked a lot about wanting to change and even gave the reasons. You wanted more flashbacks of her four plots against Nick, combined with crying? That would be a complete waste of time.
You mentioned earlier in this tread that you watched Gotham. There you had Barbara Kean giving birth to James Gordons kid after a one-night stand at the precinct, before suddenly deciding she could not be evil anymore. Adalind could not turn back because of Nick and her two children.
Juliette and Renard turned evil in a flash. All Rachel had to do was to show Renard an election banner. I can’t remember Sasha did anything to convince that his turn to the dark side came “from within”. I’m not sure if he "doesn't have the acting chops to attempt what appears to be a difficult range for" him, or he just spent to much time cuddling with his dog….No, seriously, all the actors in Grimm did a fantastic job. It was the characters and the chemistry between them that made Grimm stand out in a positive way. Claire and Sasha are good actors. David grew as an actor and excelled in the final. Even Bitsie did ok when she was given the opportunity to play evil.
