All of a sudden, I was hooked and found that I just had to know what was coming next. I thought the final third of last season was simply wonderful.<br /><br />This was a great start to the new season. Like Billie, I had a massive <i>Alias</i> flashback when Nick said "Mom" at the end of last season, but I am looking forward to this twist and how he will explain it to the humans in his life.<br /><br />You are so right about Monroe getting all the great lines in this episode. I have found that he gets most of them in any episode. One of my favorite characters in a long, long time and it was he that kept me watching through the first two thirds of last season.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-7762537188549927962012-09-14T22:50:54.609-04:002012-09-14T22:50:54.609-04:00I caught up on DVD!

And how Alias of them to bring in a Mom that can out-grimm Nick. <br /><br />I didn't like this one as much as the season ender, which I really enjoyed, but it looks like there is plenty of cool set up for season two. I'm definitely on board and so glad you joined us, Katie. If you hadn't, I might not have tried Grimm again. :)Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-24133634705589917092012-08-23T16:13:14.962-04:002012-08-23T16:13:14.962-04:00I too am thrilled that Grimm is back(though if it&...I too am thrilled that Grimm is back(though if it's starting this early, are we going to get a longer season, or a big gap in the middle?). Nick's mom was cast brilliantly, and getting a significant name gives me hope that we'll see a fair bit of her in the future. <br /><br />I'm a little concerned about how the Juliet plot will resolve(I've seen the 2nd ep by this point, but will try not to spoil anything). As soon as Rosalee mentioned that whatever Adeline used causes memory loss, I groaned. I hate hate HATE when shows do a big reveal/confession like that and then pull a "never mind" twist shortly thereafter. If Juliet's gonna have memory problems, it needs to be a bigger deal than just forgetting what Nick told her about Grimms and Wesen. <br /><br />The meeting between Monroe, Rosalee & Nick's mom was just as awesome as I expected it would be. Silas Weir Mitchell is really the MVP of the show. He does for Grimm what Bruce Campbell does for Burn Notice. He can take the simplest line and make it 10 times funnier than it would be on paper(e.g. "I got it, I got it. Be cool. Wear pants.").<br /><br />Having Nick's mom appear was a good excuse to give Nick(and thus, the audience) an info dump about what's going on in the greater Wesen world. I guess we've got our MacGuffin for now in this set of keys that supposedly points the way to something super-important. Whatever it is, I hope the writing team already has some ideas for it. It's ok if they left some room to add details and subplots that may come to them, but if you're going to do a big arc like this, you gotta know where you're going and at least roughly how you're gonna get there, or the story is at risk of collapsing under its own weight. Yes, I'm looking at YOU, Lost.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03943327351499919454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-89118840528164195362012-08-21T22:16:32.827-04:002012-08-21T22:16:32.827-04:00Welcome to the site, Katie!

I just started watching Grimm (when the season one DVD was released just recently) so I can't quite read this review yet, but I definitely will soon -- I'm DVR'ing season two.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-10386245165272004912012-08-21T10:59:26.208-04:002012-08-21T10:59:26.208-04:00SO happy Grimm is back!

Excited for future instalments and hopefully finding out more about those royal families...<br /><br />Interesting that they went for a French name instead of German, perhaps because it was (supposedly) Renard's brother who sent him so they're all French? Thing is, it should be MauvaisES Dents (dent = tooth is feminine in French!), the DentES makes me think more of Latin, but my Latin is too rusty to evaluate it...<br /><br />Just how much will Juliette have forgotten when she wakes up? (no ifs there, too soon to lose a major character) I presume she will have forgotten Nick since he kind of disappeared in her dream... now that was a creepy sequence!<br /><br />And yeah, loved Nick's mom's reaction to Monroe and Rosalee! :DCrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.com
