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.

You know what they really need?
Gut them and fit them over a pair of sneaker roller skates.
GRIMM:
So we finally find out that what Wesen see are dark soul-sucking holes where Nick's eyes should be.
huh.

I know you were hoping they'd see the Grim Reaper. Which would have made poetical type sense.

Huh. That actually makes Nick scary, and thus more interesting. I might start watching Grimm again. I was never sure exactly what the Grimms were supposed to be, or what powers they had if any. Of course it makes sense that they'd be para-human and scary, since the Wesen can recognize them on sight, and not just humans with a lot of specialized knowledge.
Grimm has gotten pretty fun. I'm glad they finally told us what the Wesen see to identify Grimms. That sunglasses are an effective disguise cracks me up. Nick specifically has gotten way more interesting since his zombification.
I am still totally confused about what's up with Adelind's baby - the royals want it just because it has royal blood, but it's got super super powers because Nick took her power before she was pregnant (or early in pregnancy, I don't remember the timeline) and she did that ritual to get them back and that supercharged the fetus?
Also, I would like to revisit the bees. ISTR they implied that Grimm's work for the royals. Generally what the hell is up with the royals? What does that mean? Do they have super powers or are they just in charge, because royal? I was mildly disappointed that the royals also seem to be royalty in the human world. I don't know why, exactly, but that seems kind of wrong to me.
Nick was zombiefied? Okay, I'm putting Grimm back on the watch list. Is Nick's girlfriend still around?
Zen, and she has Bechdel-worthy interactions with Rosalee!
I'm very behind on Grimm, but I do plan on catching up at some point.

I believe that the old royal families of Europe were aware of both Wesen and Grimm, use(d) the Wesen to do their dirty work for them, and then use(d) the Grimm to control the Wesen. I wonder how much the Grimm of old knew they were being used in that way. They may well have believed that they were simply doing what came naturally - i.e. kill Wesen - and boy howdy isn't it nice to have support, resources and official encouragement to do something they were going to do anyway. When Wesen and Grimm get to the New World, the keep killing each other out of habit but being outside of royal control then you get opportunities for Grimm like Nick's mom to connect with the Resistence because America! and Democracy! And others like Nick to decide they don't want to simply kill Wesen for breathing through the wrong kind of nostrils.
