Grimm: 2.19: Endangered

[FireDragon-16]

Adalind is still a witch (hehe ) and now she's willing to sell her baby? Wow.

Juliette's memory has come back and now she's gone back to the night Nick proposed and she's looking like she'd say yes. Was I the only one practically jumping for joy when she told Nick that she couldn't see him anymore when he checked on her in the hospital? I'm sorry, but she just needs to go!

Nick gets to meet someone new next episode and I hope that it's an indication that they are having his character move on from Juliette. I mean, as long as it doesn't turn into something like what happened with Ariel last season (Danielle Panabaker's character).

Does anyone know why they changed days for the show (at least in the US, I don't know about anywhere else)?

Not only a change in days from friday to tuesday, but also a change in times. An hour later at 10 instead of 9! No clue why they are switching. Except for the time honored tv habit of making room for something they think will get better ratings and/or, thinking Grimm can kick butt off of something on another channel in its new time slot......

Grimm is one of few new Supernatural hits for NBC, they seem to believe alot in it. Maybe Tuesday they think Grimm can survive the change. I saw its rating its very good for SFF show on major network. Hence the upgrade of the visual,the budget for season 2.

Will see if the ratings gets up or down after the change. Fridays usually have more competition from other genre shows than a Tuesday from what i have read.

Grimm, itself, may not have been a major part of the move. NBC introduced and quickly canned something called "Ready for Love", so had a large hole in their schedule on a more important night than Friday and they probably wanted something - anything - to fill it. Grimm might have been the handiest thing they thought would do the best and, since they were pulling it from Friday, it wouldn't hurt an important part of the schedule in turn. And, yeah, the competition in that slot is very weak, so maybe it'll do better - or maybe moving it will hurt it, especially as it seems to have reruns for a lead-in (they're apparently leaving the smaller hole in the schedule). We'll see.

 

[Gordian Knot]

Not sure what you mean by reruns, J, as tonites episode is a new one. Are aliens really vessen?

 

[J-Sun]

Re-runs for a lead-in - the hour before Grimm is "encore programming" which means there likely won't be a lot of eyeballs who just happen to be sitting there when Grimm comes on - people will have to tune in specifically for Grimm. Plus a lot of people generally tune out at 10 Mon-Thu vs. 9 on those nights so that won't help either. But, yeah, Grimm itself is new and maybe it'll do fine. Or at least it's DVR numbers will hold steady.

I can't edit my post but it looks like my source was wrong - some reality/game thing seems to be on for two hours before Grimm rather than an hour show, an "encore", and Grimm. Can't imagine there's much audience crossover but maybe it won't hurt.

-- Oh, and (spoilers of course) tonight's show was okay I guess but pretty much a treading-water ep and I really don't ever need to see another person give birth on TV ever again. I mean, the first two hundred thousand times was a barrel of monkeys but it's just not quite as brilliantly original as it once was. And what was the deal at the end with "stay away from the cattle"? Oh, and maybe not kill humans either, huh?

Maybe not kill humans either heh, he must have explained it was an accident or defence reflex. Someone takes a gun to you and you attack it.

It was decent ep but i liked their are building for next weeks ep, the reason of season ending storylines. Nick thinking about the other keys and what he will do about it.

Yeah I suppose the killing could have been considered self defense. Though it was the guy's word against the farmer's.

On your second point, absolutely. The Vessen of the Week is definitely getting old. If the show is going to stay successful, they have to branch out into different story lines.

It could definitely be ruled self-defense especially since the ranch hand had pulled a gun. But I still think that whole thing could have been avoided if he'd either stayed hidden or went back to human. Then he might have been able to get away by claiming to have been wandering through or something like that...

I've wanted to know about the key for a long time so I'm glad they're starting to focus on that aspect of the show. It will be interesting to see which (if any) of the theories Renard proposed are actually the treasure that was hidden.

A change from Friday to Tuesday can't be all bad. At least now they won't be in the elephant's graveyard of soon to be cancelled shows (everything from Star Trek TOS to The Sarah Conner Chronicles).

And what was the deal at the end with "stay away from the cattle"? Oh, and maybe not kill humans either, huh?

"Just say no!" Maybe Monroe was channeling Nancy Reagan.

Agreed here. It's what killed Dollhouse. Joss Whedon didn't get into the meatier aspects of the story until too late.

The vessen of the weak eps are fun to watch when they bring something new,good story. The last two eps hasnt been as challinging for Nick as cop or a Grimm. Also Vessen of the week ep often had more storyline of the season in the background. The two sides of the show met better before.

Now its around ep 20 and there needs to be 2-3 eps that is only storyline eps.
