Some Grimm Thoughts . . . . Along with Castle and Body of Proof.
So there is no new info on new “Grimm” episodes. The end of the month and early January bring a lot of repeats. The show has gotten a full season order though.
I am enjoying the show, but often find myself distracted at the same time. The last several episodes have been stand-alone cop shows more than anything. I get that is the premise, but the story line with his aunt and the sect hunting her, what is up with the police chief, and the mystery surrounding his parents death have all but vanished. I am hoping when new shows come back, we’ll get back into these story lines.
I get that they are spreading the big stories out. “Castle” and “Body of Proof” do the same thing. They sprinkle the larger story-line arcs over the whole season. Actually “Body of Proof” hasn’t even touched the mystery of Megan’s father’s death at all this season as far as I can recall. It’s focused more on love triangles among the department. “Castle” has always been sprinkling little bits of the story of Kate’s shooting into the show. How long can she keep lying to “Castle” about not remembering his profession of love? Then there is him keeping truth from her about the call telling him to keep Beckett distracted from her mother’s death . . .
I am loving Grimm! Very well-written and acted. They seem to have this series set-up in the X-Files formulaic… lots of stand-alone episodes, but trickling and tying in the soap-formula as it goes. Hopefully NBC won’t be TOO stupid and not bring in enough to hook the storyline-oriented viewers that will keep the numbers up.
