Monroe: He'll Clock You

Recommended Posts

I appreciated Monroe being his book-learnin' self this week. It was a quick and dirty summation of why these folks need to be stopped/outwitted/whatever.   I also sort of thought it was sweet that he swore that they'd have a honeymoon. They knew their life would not be simple, esp. knowing Nick, but yeah, they need to make time for themselves.

 After Hank hustled our wesen newlyweds indoors, Monroe was red eyed and ready to take on all comers! In order to appreciate how much Monroe works at not being a Big Bad Wolf, we do need to see him being "bad" once in a while.  I will not feel badly for those who think they can make this couple cower!

I would love to get a taste of the Big Bad Wolf! I thought this storyline was really interesting from the start, about Monroe giving up the identity he was "supposed" to have to become a vegetarian clock repairman and live a quiet, pleasant, non-violent life. I know they wanted to create some parallels between Wesen intermarriage and racial intermarriage (and the bigoted outrage against it), but I think it was an unfortunate choice to introduce Monroe's parents this way. He's always said his parents didn't understand or approve of his vegetarian lifestyle, but they seem like such nice, reasonable people, whose only problem was with his choice of partner, that it kind of undermines his identity as the guy who refuses to be the Big Bad Wolf. If his parents don't seem to have that instinctive vicious, predatory nature, then are Blutbads in general also reasonable people who are in control of themselves and not a danger to others? If so, why is his regime so important? I would love to get back to that point, because that's what drew me to Monroe in the first place. The idea that he's a giant dorky teddy bear by choice, but there is danger lurking under the surface that he has to work to keep in check. I haven't felt that in a long time and I would love to get it back!

I loved it when Monroe was able to clock the punk and mostly get away.  I can't blame himforflipping out over the burned remains of that poor guy (Tim?). I was almost yelling at the TV for Monroe to quit gawking at the on-coming van and pick a direction already! Monroe's face at  the other gent's wedding ring got me. I was afraid that everyone Monroe dealt with was part of the wesen Nazis. The "kindly"  older teen, the hit squad that 'napped him, and I was betting that the other prisoner was another plant, to further break Monroe's judgment and trust down.

 

I think we will see him go big Big Bad Wolf next episode. They need to call Monroe's folks. They could probably rally more bodies and keep this wesen problem in-house, as it were.

As much as I need Monroe to be alright, I have to wonder: Why did he stay (dramatically) in one spot? 

 

It's almost like how in movies folks hardly run away at an  angleto whatever is speeding at them, they just obligingly run in a straight line in front of whatever is chasing them--car, train, motorcycle, plane. (I only really kind of forgive Cary Grant because, well, Cary Grant and small planes are pretty hard to hide  from.)

I suppose Monroe was afraid if he moved, it would be futile because he either wouldn't be able to get away in time or Juliette would decide to make Nick shoot Rosalee or Hank instead.

 

He'd better be okay.  We'd better not have had to suffer through those Wesenrein episodes only for Monroe to end up getting killed by whiny Juliette.

I thought that Monroe was his first name?

 

As far as the cannon goes, he is Monroe, the same way Madonna is Madonna or Cher is Cher.

 

It was revealed in some of the BTS stuff, though, that he was originally Eddie Monroe.

Okay, but I guess  that original name didn't stick and lasted to the pilot.
