In the meantime, I've got some fanfic to write. :)

Probably the most convincing explanation for the existence of fruitcake that I've ever heard.

SinisterPurpose, there's a new episode next week per my Tivo.

The picture in the Grimm book of the stake & burn execution was pretty creepy. While I'm mostly confident that the show knows better than to kill off Monroe or Rosalee, I've seen too many female characters get 'fridged' not to be a little nervous for Rosalee.

Juliette started feeling weird while transformed into Adalind, so she probably didn't conceive then. Considering how magic works here, though, the kid would probably get some freaky Hexenbiest powers on top of the Grimm stuff.

Honestly, with all the babies this show could potentially have, they could just put off the mythology stuff entirely and save it for a sequel series in twenty years with Diana and the Burkhardt-Silverton and Calvert-Monroe (and Porter-Rubel???) kids and their weirdo powers. There's not a pressing reason to put mythology in this show, but there is a baby with super special awesome superpowers who really shouldn't become an interesting character for years, and who could be involved in really deep lore stuff. Grimm Babies plz!

Or it might have just been transformation-related pain, I don't really know my fictional magic-affected early pregnancy symptoms.

There will be some major rage-quit table-flippin' happening around my place if anything like that goes down, I tell you what.

I have to admit that for all that I'm ambivalent about Juliette, I was a little nervous that Juliette wasn't going to survive restoring Nick's powers, and I'm glad they didn't go there.


I thought the episode did a nice job of wrapping up the Trubel & Josh stories. Undoubtedly a temporary wrap up - I'm sure Trubel will come roaring back to Portland like a hurricane sooner or later. And I agree that now there's some room and time for the Wu plot to pick up speed.

Yeah, that would be seriously fucked up.

I got a vibe from Josh that he's up to no good - somehow in league with dark forces, or it's not really him, or something.

I agree that Josh has felt kind of "off" these last couple of episodes. He seems to have very suddenly developed some enthusiasm for and interest in actively being a Grimm.

Yeah, I'm definitely wondering if he got caught by the baddies, as opposed to actually escaping. Showing him the trailer definitely set my spidey-sense tingling.

The Christmas episodes are always goofy; this one may be the goofiest.

(Also, we're to believe that Portland has a dedicated fruitcake food truck? JUST GO WITH IT OKAY.)
