Grimm - Page 2

Apparently they are going to repeat the week before episode on Thursday, and then new ones on Friday.

It's a pleasant show. Not great, though perhaps better than Terra Nova.

 

I do wish they'd come up with a better integration of the werewolf as sidekick. It feels increasingly tacked on.

 

"Help me."

"No. This is a one-way relationship."

"But I need help."

"Ok."

Really liking this so far. DVR was getting a little crowded so I chose this over "Once Upon a Time" and accoding to critics I went the right way. Hope the network gives it a chance, it's a great idea. Very loosely based on the Grimm fairy tales, but they tie things together nicely.

Looks like they start more episodes on November 8.

Two entertaining episodes this week. I particularly liked the variation on "The Three Little Pigs" tonight.

I stopped watching this episode (with the rat people) halfway through. It wasn't interesting in some core way. Maybe the overlong intro put me off, but it didn't work.

I watched the entire rat show. I still have last nights on my dvr and it might be the
Last one I watch. I really dislike freak of the week shows and the police portion of the show hasnt been old enough to keep me tuned in anymore.

I like Once Upon much more.

I've been enjoying the show. One thing about "Let Your Hair Down" from last night - they never returned to Dustin - the guy who was kidnapped by the brothers. No one even appeared to know he was missing. I guess that fell on the cutting room floor or something.

 That bothered me, too. That plot issue should have been tied up.

Shall watch the first two or three episodes of Grimm, before deciding whether to stay with it. Watched the first season of Supernatural and the first couple of episodes of it's second season, but when it was being moved round the schedules I lost interest (and I thought it was an X Files-lite show anyway). The promo for Grimm looks promising, and one of the leads played one of the villains in the first season of "24".

Haven't seen the latest episode, but really enjoying the show. According to the rating sites I look at, it will be renewed.

Let's hope they keep up the quality, plus and enjoy the location filming.

According to my Dish DVR schedule, I'd swear I saw some new episodes coming up in the next week or so. After the last update, now the only thing that shows is an episode from October 28th.

Hopefully just a mistake in their software. TV Guide network shows episodes for the next three Thursdays, but no description and their web site is such a mess, good luck getting any accurate info off of it.

It's a good thing these monsters are fictional, as I'd be an easy victim for Amy Acker.

+1

NBC is rerunning some Grimm episodes on Thursdays at 10 until the new series taking the place of The Firm is ready to go in that slot, but new Grimm episodes continue on Fridays at 9 (its regular timeslot). It is preempted this week on Friday due to the NAACP awards show, but will have a new episode the following Friday.

Thank you, I thought I was going crazy. I knew I'd seen the description of a new episode then it vanished. On the site I view, they predict a renewal by May, so should see at least a second season.

Two episodes in, and I'm sort of liking Grimm. It's the stories which are keeping my interest at the moment, and not the characters as well (who are a bit uninteresting).

Monroe is the best character, mainly because Mitchell has a great time playing him.

Best episode yet, about the bees. Started off with an interesting puzzle and stayed mostly interesting to the end (bad CGI effects aside). It felt like an early X Files episode.

Grimm is looking pretty high on the list for renewal. I'm enjoying it and hope they're correct.

OT - Terra Nova may also make it. Since Alcatraz and The Finder probably won't, Terra Nova seems to be the fall back.
OT - Cougar Town may not make it unless a syndicated channel picks it up. I'm guessing the super late start to the season really screwed things up.

It was among my favorites of the season, too, and a really fast-paced episode. I could hardly believe when the production screen came up signalling the end of the hour.

Gradually liking this show more, despite the dodgy CGI. Plenty of on location scenes in "Lonelyhearts" (the house with the frogs in the flower garden was striking). Is this show filmed in British Columbia/Vancouver? The bridge in the teaser and after the onscreen Grimm logo was familiar (the same one shown in the Supernatural pilot?).

I've only been to Portland a few times, but if it's not filmed in Portland, they found a very similar location. Vancouver BC seems the place to go, but hard to tell with this one.

I drove the Astoria Oregon bridge once coming up the coast and that was my first reminder. Probably completely wrong, but wherever it is, it certainly looks passable, especially to those of us with just a minor memory of the area.

Kind of like Santa Barbara in Psych. A place I'd like to live, but we're seeing the Hollywood version, just the best and not even close to reality.

Not sure what you mean by the dodgy CGI. The facial transformations aren't great, but they're adequate for network TV. Is there something more that I'm missing.

It looks a bit fake and not as realistic in some other shows (like there's a lower budget been spent on the special effects compared to other visual aspects of Grimm). When watching Grimm I'd forgot it was an NBC show, as I was thinking it was on The CW (would like to stress that I don't think a show on The CW is cheap looking).

 

Am wondering where they're going with the sub-plot involving the two detectives' boss.

I'm looking forward to what the boss has to do with things in the future. Can't remember but does he know one of his employees is a Grimm?

CGI is allright, not great so I see what you mean. The worst I ever saw was on a show last summer about doctors in the Amazon or someplace in that area. They had a shot of a well and for some reason did CGI on a portion of the well to try and make it look old. Whatever they did was terrible and you couldn't watch the scene without your eyes being drawn to the CGI portion. It was blurry and seemed to be filmed at a different frequency as the rest of the scene. It was terribly annoying.

Maybe I just have sensitive eyes, because the same thing would happen where I worked. Certain icons drove me crazy, they seemed to vibrate and change color, yet nobody else noticed except me.

When they say "smoking hot" they aren't kidding around ...

(And to think not too long ago she was just a 22 year old playing the daughter on Shark.)

The boss does indeed know he has a Grimm as a detective.

 

I thought tonight's show was really good, fast paced and involving. I can't believe this strapping young man continually lets himself get thrown around by his adversaries, however. He takes more of a beating week in and week out than any other detective on television.

The Fabulous Panabaker Sisters.

He consistently gets his ass kicked because most of his foes have superhuman strength. Maybe in the future, he'll find he does, too. I think he needs some Grimm training.

Definitely needs some Grimm training. He's in good shape, but that beating in his house a few episodes back would have put most people in the hospital for a while, it was pretty violent.

But that's the kind of thing you overlook in shows like this. I think it's great and one of my favorite shows of the new season. Let's hope they keep the quality up.

Still wondering about the head detective and what his involvement will be. Since he knows he has a Grimm on staff, should be interesting.
