Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon  

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I spotted him. That's quite a tonal shift.

there is a particular character I don't care for.

I think you might be thinking what I'm thinking.

OTOH hand, I really like Power-Dealer Seth, so am worried that he'll probably die soon. [Speculation, not spoiler]. I really liked Melissa, and look what happened to her .

I have been surprisingly meh on S 3 so far .

I have not seen this week's ep, but prior to that, the ep that I thought kind of failed was the Nazi one because it was ahistorical in all the wrong ways. Other than that, I've been able to check my brain at the door and go with it.

I'm a little afraid of this week's ep based on the preview, so I'm in avoidance mode.

I caught up with GRIMM on Hulu. We got an episode with rather a lot of Monroe in it, including his house decorated for Christmas. I think I kind of adore him now.

Let us not speak of the police procedural "elements" to the story. I can accept Grimms and Blutbads and the rest, but illegal policing brings me right out of it.

There was also the whole logistical problem of wolf girl. No one saw her in nine years? She was so freaked out she made no effort to contact people? Also, she apparently wolfs out fairly frequently, yet was wearing fairly well fitting clothes?

The police were so concerned about her disappearance yet were apparently wrong about the day she was abducted? Then they turn her back over to her adoptive mom without any training in controlling her Blutbadness?

Also, the marijuana field plants were the most fake plants I've seen since ST:TOS.

Yeah, it was all kind of ridic. But I do like Monroe. A lot.

Monroe is the saving grace. Now if we had a show in which Nick was killed and Monroe took up his Grimm duties to avenge him....

I like the way you think, Ginger. Though I did like, in addition to Monroe, the refrigerator repair dude telling his buddies that no, really, he saw a Grimm.

Could not sleep so caught up on Grimm without really concentrating. Did I miss something, or is the poor doggie washer guy still tied up in the basement or shed or wherever the deliverance stereotypes had stashed him, slowly dying of thirst?

I'm going to pretend that the bad guys bargained with the DA and revealed where he was as part of reducing their charges. #Lalalaitallmakessenseinmyhead
