If you guys don't already know, I and my parents are huge fans of the TV show called "Grimm", which is a supernatural, crime-edition, fairytale show that sticks extremely close to the gory content of the Brothers Grimm tales.
(Though the 1st season was probably the heaviest as far as gore goes, the seasons following have their moments from time-to-time)
Well, considering the season came back on last night and it was massively nail-biting, I thought it was appropriate for me to give a little review of the show.
WARNING, this post will be containing spoilers, so if you haven't seen the episode yet or are just starting out with the show, please move on.
Or if you're just not interested, you can move on, too. ;P
Ok, so, the way they left us hanging last year, in the Winter finale, was just plain cruel.
Monroe was taken by those dirty sons-of-guns and in this episode, we see that it's the same people who were threatening Rosalee on the phone and probably the ones who've been sending them threats throughout the season, as well. Apparently, they are incredibly against Wesen mixing with one another and they kind've prove it by killing people. Yes, they go that far.
As it turns out, they're a race of what we assume to be a bunch of Blutbads (so far, we only see the two brothers go Blutbad) that form a group called the Wesenrein and they have captured poor Monroe and are planning to kill him.
Their group is something of that of Nazis, as they have the flag/symbol that is very identical to the one the Nazis used. Now, I'm thinking these guys are no doubtedly connected to Hitler, maybe committed followers far down the line, cuz if one was paying attention to a previous episode some seasons before, they will see that when Nick was watching an old reel clip of the nefarious tyrant, they will see that Hitler turned into a Blutbad.
Well, these guys sure are jerks, for lack of a better clean word.
Especially the young brother, he annoys the bejesus out've me.
He was so stupid, though. He totally gave Monroe too much information to use against them, if that is the way they are playing it, which I do believe is possible.
Why show the young brother having a leader-complex and thinks (probably) that he'd be a better head-honcho than his big bro and then of course have them clash a bit over a little power struggle if they weren't planning on using this down the line? Perhaps Monroe can use this against them. We've already seen the brother is an emotional roller coaster, no doubt cuz he's a teenager, and he makes mistakes. So taking advantage of the obvious problems might help get him out of this.
Though to be honest, I am really worried about the future of Monroe.
Is he going to get out of this alive, or are the writers going to use this opportunity to create a shock factor and kill off the old boy? I certainly freaking hope not. Cuz Monroe is perfect and the whole show itself would not be the same without him. :((((
On to other things, I suspected the cop (Hacker) was definitely hiding something.
They number one showed him way too many times for him to be just nobody. They usually show people for a little bit, who are victims of attacks, or just reference them in later conversations, that are completely faultless. But no, they made him a big deal and I'd have no idea how, with the way the Wesenrein handle things, that he would even be alive. If they're quick enough to kill their own just so, then they'd definitely kill off some guy sitting outside of Monroe and Rosalee's house.
So yeah, he's a rat. Or, you know, whatever you are, Hacker. O_o Nail him, Nick.
SPEAKING OF ROSALEE, THOUGH.
That one scene with her and Juliette scared me.
I was literally about to scream and die and throw something at the TV if they just killed her like that.
When they were prolonging, I totally thought it was for real, for sure.
But fortunately, it WAS just a nightmare.
Still though, not cool to do that to our hearts.
And the whole thing with Terry was mega-sad, btw. I was really hoping he'd make it out of there alive.
But sadly, that was not the case. Hoping Monroe delivers that ring to him, eventually.
Also hoping these dirt-bag Nazi wannabes get creamed. I've had enough of them and they just showed up.
Impaling while burning people to death is not the way to go about business, guys.
Glad to see, though, that Nick is going through that Oxygen-saver thing where is skin turns a ghostly blue/grey/white? It's pretty cool. It mostly shows up when he's going through something intense.
Regarding Wu, I am so glad we finally got Truth Wu in this episode. Sad Wu, Crazy Wu, Mad Wu, Confused Wu, Weepy Wu and Suspicious Wu were starting to break my heart.
I like him joining the circle of the Grimmers. Kind've awkward when he speaks of it, but the same goes for Renard and Hank. It takes some getting used to.
Now he's back to Funny Wu and Sassy Wu and that pleases me, cuz he made some of the best jokes on the show. And btw, he really is handling the whole Wesen thing rather well.
I need to rewatch the episode with my parents (who I watched it with last night and all the nights previous) because there are a few things in the episode I missed and need to see. I didn't quite catch the scene, for instance, with the croc guy that Renard was talking to.
But no, the way they ended the episode was not nice. I definitely need more and it's only the next day.
WHY A WHOLE WEEK, WHY?
At least, though, I'll be getting my Mentalist Thursday and Grimm Friday back, now that it's back on. :)
I missed my weekly schedule. ♥
Yeah so, hoping everything goes smoothly this next episode and my suspicions are put to the grave that anyone remotely important is gonna die. Cuz I don't want anyone to die. They're all fabulous.
But dude, they have so many cliffhangers for things.
I'm hoping, for one, to see Trubel and Josh again. I miss those two.
They took them off just as I started to really love their characters and also where the two actually started to get any real chemistry.
I also am still waiting for that Jaguar lady to come back that Hank liked. They had a great storyline and I really liked them as a potential couple. Plus Hank hanging with her brother was the best thing. :/
There's a possibility also that Trubel and Josh might bump into Nick's mom on the way. Hoping, hoping that Nick's mom reveals that she is Trubel's mother or at least her aunt or something. There's a total possibility that Trubel is Nick's Aunt's child, which will mean that Trubel and Nick are cousins, though I personally like them better as brother and sister. I just think the two are way too much alike to NOT be related. I mean, gosh.
So for the next episode, I'm hoping things turn up for Monroe and the whole gang. I certainly don't want anyone to die. They scared me earlier this season for almost killing Renard, but he's still alive, so we'll see.
Looks like meh girl Rosalee is gonna get feisty with the old Nazi jerks and there's a possibility Juliette will have to go berserk and get all Wesen herself if this thing turns into a dangerous situation involving Nick.
I know it's probably wishful thinking, but I really would like for Monroe's parents to come along and beat the scrap out of these guys. That would be hilarious.
So many cliffhangers, I'm dying.
But my honeys, I am not liking the titles of any of these next episodes. :( Especially number 11.
