Great now maybe they can sort out all of this resistance stuff/mystical claw of the known Wesen group out. Although, knowing this show we will probably end up only getting more half-ass answers.

spaulding November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 THERE IS AN EFFING 20-FOOT TALL CGI RAT! (Pardonnez ma francais, but CRAP!)What the ever-living hell are these people thinking? What? You don't believe that Rats of Unusual Size exist? I watched the promo and it was so cheesy. I thought that I was re-watching Zoo. The ROUS is either a reference to The Prince Bride or to the Nutcracker. Either way, these writers don't even care what they write. This episode won't be anything good like Danse Macabre. I'll watch because I'm hoping that it's as cheesy as the Zoo summer series. 1 Link to comment

OtterMommy December 5, 2015 Share December 5, 2015 (edited) My son and I also looked at each other with our mouths agape when it was FINALLY shown , after 4+ years! what a Wesen sees in a Grimm's eyes. I've seen a lot of people (happily) shocked that they actually showed what a Grimm's eyes look like to a woged wesen. There are, as far as I can tell, 3 big things that viewers active in discussions in social media have been wanting answered/resolved. 1 - What does a wesen see in a Grimm's eyes - checked that one off the list 2 - The keys - that will be checked off the list on March 4, 2016 3 - WHY WON'T THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ADALIND RAPED NICK? I have a feeling we're going to get a "The More You Know" episode soon on this one... Ooh, and there is a 4th one...but they're saving that one for February sweeps.

Prevailing Wind December 12, 2015 Share December 12, 2015 (edited) TULLOCH | When Eve is out on missions, she can’t run into somebody who worked with [Juliette] at the veterinary practice, or a friend, because they all think she’s dead. Oh? The staff at the clinic even know she was killed? WHEN did they find out? How was "no dead body" explained? This is so fucking stupid. Edited because anger makes you type sloppily.

OtterMommy December 12, 2015 Share December 12, 2015 (edited) This probably belongs in the Juliette thread, but since the whole thing about her now being "Eve" was mentioned in the article Stacey posted and not in the episode, I thought I should keep it here. First of all, I hate when they change character's names in shows. In AoS, we have Daisy, formerly known as Skye. Now we have Eve, formerly known as Juliette. And keeping on that...both women went through a transformation and now have badass powers. And new names. And are now leaders in some sort of secret group out to protect humanity. I wasn't too keen on this plot in AoS, and I'm less keen on it now. Between this and Juliette Silverton: the Winter Soldier, I'm surprised they haven't started just slapping "Marvel" in the opening credits. Edited December 12, 2015 by OtterMommy 1 Link to comment
Happy Harpy December 12, 2015 Share December 12, 2015 (edited) So, apparently, all of Juliette's friends and co-workers believed she was dead....I'm not sure how they knew that, but it has been decreed that we must accept it. Granted, I didn't watch for several seasons, but Juliette had friends and co-workers on the show after S1, outside Nick's gang ? I find it weird that they give so much information about the character before it is actually explained/developped on the show. I'm under the impression that usually, the post-mortem interviews are more about rehashing what happened onscreen/giving insights, and playing coy in the vein of "keep watching and you'll see". I wonder why. So, I guess that "not the same character" means that Version 2.0 won't be held responsible for setting up the Grimmbago on fire and Kelly to die. Yeah, no.

icewolf December 12, 2015 Share December 12, 2015 (edited) It is obvious that the writers are backpedaling hard on Juliette by making her some kind of new character. They probably never expected such massive backlash and hate towards Juliette and the actress after what they had her do, burning the trailer and setting up Nick's mom to be beheaded. These are absolutely unforgivable acts. People are still pissed at Adalind for all the crimes she had committed against the main cast over the years, even if the writers have tried badly to sweep all of that under a carpet. Yes, I hold the writers completely responsible for how awful season 4 was. BT was just doing a job, not a good job, but the showrunners absolutely should have known that BT wasn't capable of handling such dramatic material like the plot of a human slowly going insane turning into a Hexenbiest.

SimoneS December 12, 2015 Author Share December 12, 2015 (edited) Juliette's transformation is basically a twist on what happened when the character of Fred died on Angel, a show which Greenwalt co-produced. On Angel, Fred dies and they had a dead powerful spirit take over her body, so the actress played a completely different character in Fred's body with her memories which threw the man who loved her into turmoil. It is a good way to get past what Juliette did so she and Nick can start over. I knew that this triangle was coming and since I have low expectations from these showrunners, I give them kudos for coming up with this character reboot.

Thank goodness the bad redheaded actress on Sleepy Hollow wasn't sleeping with Tom Mison. Speaking of which, it will be on Fridays so I can easily ditch this show. At the very least, this show tried to reboot/fix the problems in this series unlike Grimm which only compounded on them with the contrived Adalind romance and now this laughable new Juliette plot, and the "war" has been so poorly executed and handled. I've watched "Limitless" twice now and MEM's totally wasted in the part. I can't blame MEM for wanting to leave, staying on Grimm didn't do much either way since she already had limited screentime as it was. And at least they built her up as a bad-ass. She had actual build up unlike Juliette being forced into yet another role she's not capable of pulling off. Edited December 17, 2015 by Free 1 Link to comment
OtterMommy December 17, 2015 Share December 17, 2015 I guess bland is the new "bad-ass." At least Daisy was born Daisy. She gave herself the name Skye, which was a more bad-ass name, while Daisy sounds significantly less so. Like, she's running around in her bondage outfit (see, Arrow) and being called Daisy. And at least they built her up as a bad-ass. She was trained in fighting, etc., before the transformation, which just gave her powers and did not suddenly make her a ninja. She had backstory and growth. Yes, now they'll have a reason for the awesome Juliette, errr.. EVE.L. character to have something more to do than Google, and I'm thrilled, So much so, I'm going to do the OtterMommy and not watch the show if she's featured prominently. I refuse to support David's squeeze. Thank goodness the bad redheaded actress on Sleepy Hollow wasn't sleeping with Tom Mison. I still can't believe we lost MEM to this...wallpaper.

There are a number of sites that keep a "cancellation table" where they track shows' ratings and their likelihood to be renewed. Most of them have Grimm as being "in trouble." I like SpoilerTV's...just because I like that site AND I like how they put everything on one page, but here it is: http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/08/spoilertv-cancellation-predictor-table.html TVLine also has one, which is more optimistic about Grimm: http://tvline.com/2015/10/16/renewed-tv-shows-2016-renewal-scorecard-cancelled-series/4/(goes to NBC page) But, no official word from the network.
