Grimm and Parenthood: Thoughts and Spoilers
So I really enjoyed the last “Parenthood,” I think because we got a lot of Joel and Julia time. Joel always gets the shaft on this show in terms of air time. Even though Zoe dumped her boyfriend and got him to sign the adoption papers, I still feel something will happen and Joel and Julia aren’t getting that baby.
Crosby was doing so well and growing up, then this episode happened. When Adam got the spotlight in the paper during an interview, he pouted like a little baby. Grrrrr! Minus points for Crosby!
Finally I just felt like this entire episode was foreshadowing Mark and Sarah’s eventual break-up. She was freaking out over him not bringing up the baby thing, he was freaking out over her pushing him to get to know her brothers during their monthly poker game, and her brothers felt they’d be left with a vacancy in their game when this relationship went south. They finally, at the very end, got to the baby topic, but both were too drunk and Mark wanted to table it until the next morning . . . .
Onto “Grimm,” which I also really enjoyed. I liked seeing Nick working with his Aunt’s trailer a lot more, as well as Monroe being pulled into the trailer when Nick was out of commission after being beaten by an ogre. You could see his mind exploding being around all the ancient Grimm weapons.
Nick’s partner Hank seems to be catching on that something isn’t right with Nick. We know the captain already knows the truth. I have to wondering if he’s going to try and steer Hank towards the truth, or away from it?
Spoilers for the next two episodes of each show are below . . . .
