TV: Grimm & Once Upon a Time

[Monica]

That is exactly what I do with OUaT. This past episode was okay.

Grimm doesn't start for a few weeks I want it to start now.

[AH]

I kind of stopped following OUAT, but we were in Vancouver this summer and we went to visit Storybrooke. We walked in the Storybrook bakery where he wanted $10 a loaf for bread, saw the other buildings where they film. Kind of neat.

Has Grimm started again this season?

[Steph, Serious series addict]

That's cool, AH. But, $10 for a loaf of bread? Yikes!

Grimm starts again (S03E01) on 25 Oct. Not sure about Canada and elsewhere though.

[AH]

Probably the same as we get the US affiliate stations here.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

GTK. I wasn't sure :)

[Christal]

I was a bit meh on last season of OUaT, but I've really been enjoying Neverland this season. Even though Jennifer Morrison kind of annoys me, I feel the show is at its best when it remembers to focus on Emma and her growth. I feel like this is her fairy tale.

I can't wait for Grimm to start back. The finale was killer!

[AH]

I kind of stopped watching OUaT - it was on at a crappy time of day for me. I just can't watch TV at 7PM.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I agree, Christal. Is Jennifer Morrison Snow or the witch?

I wouldn't force it with this one either, AH. Now, for some others, I'd definitely watch no matter the time slot.

[Jeann (Happy Indulgence)]

I stopped watching OUaT after episode 6 or so because Ginny Goodwin really annoys me.

OMG, I can't believe my last comment on this thread was a year and a half!

Anyways, I never caught up with Grimm so I started watching the season from the beginning. Now I'm in the last few episodes of Season 3 and I need to vent about something. Who watches the show?

I have watched all the way up to the end of season three, I am free to vent to lol

[D.G.]

Ok, Raquel! Once I get to work, I'll vent!!! Hahahaha!

[Raquel (Rocki)]

lol okay sounds good

[D.G.]

I just watched episode 19 from season 3 and I'm totally outraged that (view spoiler)[ Nick and company would steal a newborn from their mother. HOW DARE THEY! Nick's mother has probably killed more people than Adalind has met in her life and now she thinks she's better??? Just because she made the decision to abandon her own child doesn't mean that she has the right to force somebody else to do the same. (hide spoiler)] I'm totally on Adalind's camp and I'm looking forward to what they have coming. I'm really looking forward to what she'll do!

I'm even more outraged that the "good" women in this series - Juliette & Rosalie - didn't object to this crap. Like they would like it if that happened to them! It broke my heart when (view spoiler)[ she went to all of them asking for help and they gave her the boot. I would have wanted to slap Nick for saying that "she won't be a good mother". I'd like to see him react well to his baby being stolen, that sanctimonious a-hole. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I hear ya, DG. My heart broke (view spoiler)[ for Adalind when she was bawling and screaming for her baby. Poor thing. I understand the baby's some super magical baby, but couldn't they have worked something else out? Well, then you have the "family" out to get a hold of it and she would've been on the run from them forever. But, taking a baby from its mother should never be the right choice. (hide spoiler)]

I have to say (for those who have watched the most recent episode only) (view spoiler)[ I cannot stand Juliette. She bugs me. Big time. Now, she's got Adalind's hexenbiest ability? For shit's sake, seriously?! Well, now she's finally important ... ugh! (hide spoiler)]

I understand why they did it but yea (view spoiler)[I was upset that they took her child away I mean they didn't even give Adalind a chance to change or make the decision herself. I have a feeling though that the baby wont stay hidden for long or Adalind will not sit for waiting around without her baby. (hide spoiler)]

Honestly, I can't stand Adalind, this does not justify (view spoiler)[them taking her baby from her, but I am definitely NOT a fan. I was most surprised that Rosalie and Juliette weren't opposed to the decision. And also the choice of the surrogate protector/mother, really Nick's mom is not very maternal. They also hid the baby for its own protection, because the royals and company would want the baby eliminated since it would be in line for the throne and very powerfully magically. (hide spoiler)]

[D.G.]

Oh ok, so it wasn't only me. I understand the reasons (view spoiler)[ the baby was hidden, just not that Adalind was left out of the decision and taken from her. (hide spoiler)] This storyline was probably written by a man because the way the women reacted was super strange. No woman could watch that and believe there was any justification.

I understand why they the writers did it - Adalind is a strong character that the writers would want to have around and she would be hindered by (view spoiler)[ the baby. (hide spoiler)] But still!

I've always liked Adalind. The way she smiles makes me think of one of my favorite quotes by Mae West "When I'm good, I'm good but when I'm bad, I'm better."

Whatever she does to everybody in that show will be justified in my eyes.

I agree with you Raquel that Diana (view spoiler)[ won't stay hidden forever. I mean, she can tele-transport or whatever it is she does at a drop of hat! I also wouldn't be surprised if when we next see her, she's older than she should be for her age. Remember that she was born at 6 months and looked like a healthy baby, and the Gipsy woman (whatever her name was) said that she was on her own time or something like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

@D.G. - Yes (view spoiler)[the baby would've really cramped Adalind's style. And heavens, it might have softened her character. So instead make her REALLY angry and let her unleash her wrath. I agree, makes for a better storyline.

Oh no, Diana might be another Renesmee, aging too quickly. Okay, maybe not quite so fast. (hide spoiler)]

[D.G.]

Now in other news, I've missed the Captain's naked chest in Season 3. Thankfully, Meisner was there to provide us some beefcake (verra hot!) but only in one episode. (I thought he would make a great werewolf.)

[Raquel (Rocki)]

I can't wait to see the baby come back into the picture. I think that is going to throw everything into chaos.

Who is your favorite character in the show or couple?

[D.G.]

Oh the Captain is my favorite character, hands down. I like ambigous characters.

Couple wise, I say Rosalie and Monroe.

My least favorite character is Juliette! Arrrgh!

[Raquel (Rocki)]

I love Rosalie and Monroe as a couple!

I am still unsure of the Captain he is one of those characters you have to watch carefully because he just might turn on you.

My favorite character is Wu he is my favorite because he is so silly and now he might be in on the whole grimm thing.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I cannot stand Juliette!

[D.G.]

Steph wrote: "I cannot stand Juliette!"

You and me both! She's so blah. I think Nick needs someone more edgy.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

:D I'd written this earlier - Have you caught up? (spoiler for those who have watched the most recent episode only) (view spoiler)[ I cannot stand Juliette. She bugs me. Big time. Now, she's got Adalind's hexenbiest ability? For shit's sake, seriously?! Why in the hell wouldn't she just tell Nick? Instead she goes to the Capt, who she has a history with (while she was memory-loss girl) ... ugh! (hide spoiler)]

Another question - about Nick (view spoiler)[ When are they going to address his ... what? death phasing? I don't know what to call it or what they'll call (when they hopefully fill us in on what's what). But, you know how last season he'd look like he died in his sleep and turned grayish? What's that all about? He's done is a couple times this season too. Any thoughts? (hide spoiler)]

[Christal]

I agree, Steph! (view spoiler)[My very first thought was... "Okay, you're going to go behind Nick's back (again!) with the man that you were sneaking around with just two seasons ago?" I mean, doesn't it just take the blood of a Grimm to get rid of their powers? That's what happened with Adalind any ways. (hide spoiler)]

Oh, and isn't Juliette supposed to be a vet? When does she ever go to work?

About Nick -- (view spoiler)[I really thought they were going to bring it up at the beginning of the season, but it feels like they've just forgotten about it. It was there and really scary and then just gone. Has he done it lately? I can't seem to remember. Maybe they will use him losing his powers as a reset button of sorts and he just won't do it anymore? (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Right?! What a bitch! (view spoiler)[You're right, I hadn't thought about 'the blood of a Grimm' idea. Wow! Now it's even more frustrating that she hasn't told him. Ugh! (hide spoiler)]

Really. We say the same thing all the time. She's such a worthless character, IMO.

Nick: (view spoiler)[ Yeah, he's "gone dark" several times this season - or at least once when he was sleeping. I'm hoping that means they will eventually explain it. (hide spoiler)]

[Marla]

I agree about Juliette. (view spoiler)[I thought she was showing some improvement when she got in on the Grimm secret, but alas, she hasn't improved.

Nick, Monroe and Wu are my favorite characters. I don't mind the Captain, but you're right, it's hard to trust him. I am quite fond of Bud also, not too much of him, just an occasional appearance. (hide spoiler)]

[Monica]

I need to catch up on Grimm. I got rid of my cable and now have to find a way to watch the episodes. I watched a few but I am not caught up.

[Kellie]

I'm a total Grimm fan! I agree with everyone about not really liking Juliette's character especially when she can't even trust Nick enough to tell him what's going on with her, what does that say about their relationship?! Never really liked her from the beginning but I guess we're stuck with her character.

[Marla]

Usually, hooking up with the main character is a death trap, (view spoiler)[but not yet for Juliette. I'm glad Nick has someone, I just think he can do better. (hide spoiler)]

[D.G.]

Oh I still haven't caught up! I got so mad (see msg 65) that I decided to stop watching the show for a bit. But maybe I'll continue this weekend so I can see your spoilers.

Do you remember that time when Nick hooked up with the gal who made men crazy? He had more chemistry with that woman than he had with Juliette.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Gotcha. Yeah, don't read those spoilers yet then.

I do and he did!

[Monica]

I went back and read some of the spoilers. I have watched up to season 3 and I laughed (view spoiler)[because I must have been the only one that cheered when Adalind's baby was taken from her. What goes around comes around. I love her character but still found myself cheering that they were able to take her baby away from the royals. May not be nice but I understand it from a story line stand point. (hide spoiler)]

Now I just need to watch season 4 to catch up.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I really enjoy watching both shows. I find them entertaining. Grimm has such weird characters and the mystery is always good too. I can't wait for OUAT to return. I love Rumple. He's my favorite character in the show.

Yeah I was glad too. She just pisses me off.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Monica, (view spoiler)[I loved the way they were able to plan the taking of the baby from the royals; it was definitely a well-executed plan.

I'm interested to see what will come of the baby storyline in the future. Esp since the Capt's (I'm pretty sure these spoilers are further along that you are, so you might want to skip it) (view spoiler)[ mother is trying to hunt down Nick's mom and her grandbaby.

Speaking of the Capt. I'm guessing, by the bleeding "healed" wounds, his mother's lifesaving measures are backfiring. I hope the doesn't die. I like his character. (hide spoiler)]
(hide spoiler)]

[D.G.]

So I'm catching up on the end of Season 3 of Grimm.

FINALLY, I get a scene with the Captain's shirtless and WHAT A CHEST! I think he has been working out because he looks buffer than the last time I saw his chest (yes, I pay that much attention! hahahaha!) You can even see his shirts look a lot tigheer!!!

I'm laughing my ass off watching the season 3 finale, where (view spoiler)[ Adalind disguises herself as Juliette and goes to see the Captain. His face when "Juliette" told him she still thought of him was priceless!!! (hide spoiler)]

When she said: "I have to be honest..." and he replies, almost a bit shocked "Oh no, you don't." I started laughing like crazy.

I hope I see something developed here even if it's not for realz. These actors had really good chemistry!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Bwahahaha FINALE SPOILER (view spoiler)[ Ding Dong, the witch is dead, the witch is dead....

As happy as I am that I won't have to watch Juliette any longer, it was kinda sad there at the end. Despite the fact that she was responsible for the mom's death (although, I have to admit, up until the end I kept expecting mom to walk in the door and yell SURPRISE!), Nick struggled with actually killing her. I'm glad Truble did it so he didn't have to and it got done.
(hide spoiler)]

Hollywood Reporter article 'Grimm' Creators on Finale[....] and How the Series Will Get "Even Darker". It should go without saying, but if you haven't seen the finale, don't read the article.

[Monica]

OMGRIMM!! I loved the Finale!! Even though I don't have cable I am able to watch the current season online the next day. I read that article on FB after watching the finale.

I don't (view spoiler)[think Juliette is dead. At the end when that woman said go in and get her you don't know if she is talking about Truble or Juliette. (hide spoiler)]

Now I am going back on Amazon Prime and watching from Season 1 all the way through to season 4!!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Ugh. Please tell me that will not be the case. :/

Enjoy your re-watch! :D

[Monica]

I know! Some people have speculated on the Grimm FB page that (view spoiler)[Adalind is really Juliette. I cannot remember that woman at the end that is why I am going to re-watch all seasons. I don't know if you noticed Juliette's face when they said the Grimm got away. I think she was kind of happy about it. Plus I think she was really upset that they killed Nick's mother Kelly. (hide spoiler)]

[Steph, Serious series addict]

O.o Really? Guess that's possible (view spoiler)[ with all the power stealing/regaining that happened between Adalind and Nick.

Yeah, I think she was sad about it all, in the end, but too little too late. Her personality shift when she became a hexenbeast didn't seem to fit, for me. (hide spoiler)]

[~JustMel~]

I'm 3 episodes away from the season finale. I just watched the episode with Adalind's big reveal, and laughed so hard at everybody's first response "AGAIN?!" Lmbo!!!
As for Juliet, I just want to punch her in her throat. I wonder how Nick is going to handle this one. She is the absolute worst! She knew there were gonna side effects before they did what they did and she agreed to do it! Now she wants to blame everyone and their grandma for it?? Smh... If I could throttle her without losing my arms I would. She pissed me off to the point where I actually turned the tv off.

I FREAKING LOVE GRIMM AND OUAT!!! XD

[Steph, Serious series addict]

Yeah, she's got no problem placing blame.

[~JustMel~]

At all! She confuses the heck out of me. First she hates becoming a hexenbiest, then she loves it? I'm like rhymes with witch! Do u or don't u?!

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Yep.

[Monica]

I agree JustMel!
