Grimm - Season 4
- Thread starter Taylirious
- Start date
I'd probably agree with you if I found Claire Coffee remotely appealing as an actress. Unfortunately, I've always found her insubstantial and mildly irritating. I do find her almost sympathetic when she's playing Adalind as vulnerable and yearning for her daughter, but she's still a mediocre actress.
She's hardly been given stellar material though, the bulk of Adalind's storyline has been mere soap opera fodder.
I think this season is turning out pretty interesting. I love the drama and the whole Juliette-Hexenbiest storyline. I must admit that I was not expecting this season to turn so entertaining.
And the ending of the last episode...right in the feels

.End Juliette, make Trubel a regular.
I'm fine with losing Juliette, so long as Nick doesn't become a blubbering idiot over her loss. I've had all the whining I can stand from Felicity over on Arrow.
Same for me. But if they kill off Juliette, that's bound to happen.
That's how I feel about Bitsie Tulloch.
I like Tulloch. True, her acting is a little bland, but she's very attractive and has an appealing warmth, or at least she did until they started writing her as this mean, cold person, which just doesn't fit her as well.
Wow... what an awkward way to work around Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio's unavailability. And what a crappy way to write her out of the series. They should've made sure they could give her a worthy farewell appearance before they decided to kill her off. This was just sad, and not in the good way.
And they dealt with "Jack the Ripper" a bit too easily, it seemed. They came up with an advance plan, and the plan went pretty much as anticipated, with little in the way of surprises or setbacks. And why would Renard's scars magically disappear? They weren't creations of magic, they were creations of bullets. Well, at least we're spared listening to any more of Roiz's attempt at a Cockney accent.

Juliette is dead to me now.
Juliette is responsible for Kelly's murder after supplying the Royals with so much information. She had every chance to stop it, but she didn't. Witness her slowly walking down the stairs, she doesn't even have the courage to watch the Royals kill Kelly. What a coward. Also the dead neighbors are completely on her.
Damn, sad to see Mama Grimm get murdered like that. Kelly will be missed even though she didn't appear that much. I did appreciate the callback to the head in the box scene from season one, when Nick did that with the two reapers that went after him.
Nice to see Trubel back. It has been 13 episodes without her, but she killed that Royal goon like she never left.
The whole Jack Ripper plot felt too easily resolved, but whatever. I'm glad that is over with. I wasn't sure how much longer I could handle that accent.

It's also upsetting that they took one of the show's strongest female characters and subjected her to such a formulaic fridging -- had a minor male villain kill her, off-camera, in order to motivate the male hero into a revenge plot. It's just so ridiculous. Kelly survived as a Grimm for all those years, far longer than Nick has managed, and now she gets taken down so easily? Particularly when she has so much to fight for? At the very least, that's a story that should've been about her, focused on her character and feelings as she fought her greatest battle and suffered the tragedy of defeat. Instead it was just a box to tick off (too soon?) in Nick's arc.
I think TV Tropes's article linked above contains a terrific summary of why this was bad:
And as if it weren't already cliched enough, they basically just ripped off the ending of
Which was unpleasant and awful to watch in the movie, so I didn't need to see it again here, certainly in such a shallower and more gratuitous context.

Se7en.
I wonder how they are going to explain the murder of Nicks neighbours?
Do the showrunners actually expect us to find this Evil Juliette storyline compelling instead of just boring and obnoxious, especially now? Because god I'm so tired of it, they had Juliette in a great place after the horrible misfire of Amnesiac Juliette. Her motivations make no sense, her actions make no sense, her alliances make no sense beyond EEEVIL!!!
And now if she leaves the show for good and Trubel gets promoted to full-time status I'll be pleased as punch.

Best thing was seeing Trubel back. 
Does it really matter now? She can just blast open the door with her powers.
Even so, after she burned the trailer, Nick should at least have put his house under surveillance. Of course, he should've had the foresight to move the trailer once she went bad, but we can forgive him one mistake. Doing nothing to increase security on his home after the trailer incident was just rank stupidity.
So Nick should tell his fewllow officers to be on the lookout for for Juliette and unarmed beautiful women who's in reality a dangerous and powerful Hexenbiest? If Juliette wants to kill Nick could do it at anytime.
