Holy hell, I was not expecting that. I was thinking maybe --*maybe* -- she was going to be Nick's "godmother," chosen by Marie. And then...that. O_0

Juliette! Oh my goodness. Oh. My. Goodness.

More coherent thoughts later.

( Nothing like posting on the penultimate episode the same day as the finale airs, hmm?
I’m bypassing “Happily Ever Aftermath” for the time being, because between not having much to say about it and having SO much to say about this ep, that’s what’s working for me right now. (Sorry, Cinderella. Maybe we’ll catch you on the flip side.) )

( This episode felt like a present from the cast and showrunners to the fans. From Monroe helping Nick with his weapons training, to the return and showcasing of Bud and the beavers, to that fabulous, fabulous dinner (please, Jesus, let the future of this show hold a friendship between Monroe and Juliette) , the whole thing was just full of candy and shiny things. But it was also a substantial episode, and sometimes indulgent ones don’t pull that off at the same time. )

My cable guide is showing baseball on NBC from 7 til 10 tonight. I will freak the fuck out if I don't get to watch Grimm.

( Damn, this show has gotten *good*. )

( Nothing more than what's been in the press release synopsis as far as spoilers go, but protecting the innocent, all the same. ;) )

Every once in a while I'm struck with absolutely pointless inspiration by and/or for the shows I watch, and I keep a little mental tally of people I'd like to see show up in some role or another. (And then every once in a while something happens like Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio or Sebastian Roche getting cast on Grimm, and I do a little happy dance ( Read more... )

( This was easily one of the more disturbing episodes of Grimm so far. Azura Skye sells terrorized really well, and the feeding scenes were hard to watch. Grimm has had a handful of moments that are just mess-with-your-mind, skin-crawlingly icky on multiple levels, and this was high on the list. )

watching Azura Skye being creepy on a BtVS rerun right now.
