It was kind of strange to see Satan going up against Stanton Parish, though. Especially right after watching Alphas, in my case.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

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

All is well that ends in pizza.
LOVING Hank right now "Oh, I'm ready." Grimm has actually been getting good.
Yes and yes!
So very glad they didn't go the "how could you have lied to me all this time, I'm going over here and sulk for a few episodes" route with Hank.
I also observed the spell on Juliette to be a reverse of Dawn's spell, Nick being surgically removed form her life.
Plus? The show has a Buffy-style opening narration now.
"There once was a man who lived his life so strange, it had to be true. Only he could see what no one else can--the darkness inside, the real monster within. And he's the one who must stop them. This is his calling. This is his duty. This is the life of a Grimm.”
Also? Narration is not entirely true.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't watch the show--can you give me a context on this? In Supernatural, Dean had himself and his strife erased from his girlfriend's memory and that of her son, and it was generally seen (on and offscreen) as a bad call. Is this similar?

It was done to her by an enemy. A rogue enemy, at that, who wasn't acting under orders at the time, so who knows what was intended.

Yay yay yay: this might make me even happier than having Joss Whedon making television again.

Oh, dear. Trailer for the upcoming CW revamp of Beauty and the Beast: [link]
Kristen Kreuk is so pretty but still tragically unable to act. Even knowing the problematic aspect of it, I've always been a sucker for the Beauty and the Beast story. But not if the dialog and the acting are this bad.

Isn't "the Beast" also being played by some typically handsome CW mannequin?

Yeap. The lighting is so dark that I can't really make it out, but it looks like they mostly paste a scar across one of his perfect cheekbones and call it a day.

I think it's in the root of a lot of dysfunctional beliefs about relationships, especially ones surrounding the attraction to Bad Boys. To wit: the violent, brutal, and the uncouth can be tamed by your gentle presence. Or if you love him enough, he'll change.

GAH, yes. And I love the Disney B&B as much as anyone does, but dude, that's a toxic subtext.
One of the better things about the original GRRM-written Beauty & the Beast was that Vincent was, emotionally, very much not a beast, but a really sweet guy. So it ran counter to that ugly subtext of the original fairy tale.
