GRIMM I am a week behind in keeping everyone on the up and up in each episode. Fortunately I was able to catch up just in time for this week sizzling episode Ring of Fire. Not only are we going to see an interesting new Wesen–Adalind (Coffee) is creating a fire all her own. We all know she is “powerless” for now. Nick (Giuntoli) planted a bloody lip embrace on her last season. Somehow I knew she would do anything to not only get her powers back–and exact revenge on the very one who rendered her powerless. Nick has a lot to deal with. Luckily, he now has Hank (Hornsby) and Monroe (Mitchell) to help hold it all together.

Synopsis: Nick (David Giuntoli) finds himself fighting a wildly different sort of nature freak in a desperate attempt to keep a volcano from burying Portland in lava. Meanwhile a pregnant Adalind (Claire Coffee) meets a powerful new ally (guest star Shohreh Aghdashloo) in Europe. Meanwhile, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) seeks out help after becoming overwhelmed by the latest side effect of her recovery – multiple memories of Nick showing up everywhere.

Still, I am concerned regarding Capt. Renard’s (Roiz) real interest overall in Nick? It is really good that the story is progressing along with in this respect–but who knows what’s going to happen with Juliette (Tulloch). When things get bad–she get’s crazy! This memory subplot has gone on long enough. Let’s hope this remedies in this episode. We don’t need her to keep taking up everyone’s time–especially Monroe’s–he is trying to cement his romance with Rosalee (Turner).  These two really need more time alone together.

This has been a fantastic season so far! Let’s see what’s going to happen now with Adalind’s “baby daddy” drama and will she ever get her powers back?

Absolutely curious.

Grimm also stars Russell Hornsby, Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, Reggie Lee and Bree Turner.

GRIMM  has been kicking up the ante with the dramatic subplots–Nick’s (Giuntoli) other 4-senses are heightened when he loses his sight! Nick was blinded by the “Sandman”, and he still was able to solve the case! Of course, he had help from Monroe and Hank, but can he get any more bad ass? Meanwhile, Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch) is still “crazy.” I’m afraid that there is no letting up on this one folks. Now Rosalee (Bree Turner) has a step in to lend her a hand. Honestly, I don’t see why she is wasting her time. I don’t think the Juliette aspect of the show resonates this season. Technically, she has been “dreaming” since last season. Whatever. It’s like her character’s subplot is constructed as an after thought. Fortunately for us, the rest of the show continues to prove intriguing:

Synopsis: Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) Takes on the tale of Rumpelstiltskin when a mysterious killer targets a video game company!  When a gruesome homicide brings an office party to a screeching halt, Nick and Hank find themselves battling a Wesen on a completely new platform – online. Meanwhile, Juliette’s (Bitsie Tulloch) mysterious hallucinations finally start to take shape, giving them a whole new meaning. Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz, Reggie Lee, Bree Turner and Claire Coffee also star.

Yeah, so umm, Adalind (Coffee) has her own awesome thing going. One of the royal brother’s may be her baby daddy. A mysterious old woman is there to help her–this child is worth a lot. It’s royal blood and Adalind is either seeing dollar signs–or she is getting ready to birth the Antichrist. I wonder if she sees it as a way to get her Hexenbiest powers back.

He’s got questions that need answering.

This new season of GRIMM has again left us with more questions than answers. Mainly, this faulty memory ordeal with Juliette (Bitsie Tulloch). For all we know, that hole we seen in “Natural Born Wesen” was all in Juliette’s head. As part of a currently ongoing GetGlue community forum, we have debated whether or not Nick (David Giuntoli) should dump Juliette and find someone else–to maybe wishing that Juliette’s character head would explode. Some of the comments were harsh, but I understand what fans of the show are getting at. Allow me a moment to say: I told you so. Last season I went a little overboard on Juliette’s character lack of importance on the show. When the romance thing between her and Renard (Roiz) began to heat up I admit I was pretty excited; however, this story subplot has lingered on way too long. Before we can see this annoyance resolved–here we are alluded to another subplot: Adalind’s pregnancy. How about this? Let’s finish what we started in the first season before mucking up any chances for resolve in the new season.

Mr. Sandman (Season 2 Episode 15) Synopsis: When a mysterious case of sudden blindness causes a woman’s death, Nick (Giuntoli) and Hank (Hornsby) come across a disturbing Wesen that feeds off its victim’s tears. Meanwhile, Adalind (Coffee) contemplates the significance of her new situation while Juliette (Tulloch) continues to work with Rosalee (Turner) in an effort to fix her memory. Silas Weir Mitchell, Sasha Roiz and Reggie Lee also star.

Finally Nick, Hank and Monroe know exactly what Renard is, they still need to find out his origin story. Tonight episode about a Wesen “sandman” proves to be very interesting. Traditionally, we all maybe know about those childhood tales about a sandman coming to visit nightly to sprinkle magic sand in our eyes, which supposedly allows us to dream. That rheum (the crust that gathers in the corners of the eyes) is evidence of his visit. Of course, we can count on a gory twist to this tale. Aside from the aforementioned miscellanies–call me a hypocrite–but I always look forward to each and every episode.

Damn it, Grimm, I can’t quit you.

GRIMM is back with Mr. Sandman on NBC 9/8 p.m.
