Chuck is back tonight! Followed by Grimm

Well...that was a big ol' pile of CoV boxes right in the foreground and very visible. With a couple of CoH boxes thrown in for good measure. Would be nice if they had GR boxes though. And the Halo Wars poster in the background.

It may just be me, but Sarah was looking kinda...rough around the edges...at that presentation.

Nice to see Green Arrow is getting work after Smallville went off the air.

I'm not convinced that it's actually malfunctioning. I'm starting to think that that is what it was the Intersect is supposed to do. Chuck was somehow special. Either that or the glasses were a trap from that CIA guy with an altered program that slowly overwrites the subject's base personality.

Chuck was special, he'd already been exposed to a rough version as a kid, and had to wear the watch to regulate the Intersect. They've already established the Intersect screws with a person's brain, so someone's already carrying the Idiot Ball this season.

Now that was an awesome Chuckisode. From the thinking juice to the nudists to Lester's ruling of the prison to the kaboom.

Just watched the two Grimms. I'm definitely enjoying this series but one thing about it is tremendously annoying. Virtually every one of the beings seems to be intimidated and frightened by Nick. But so far his only Grimm power seems to be the ability to see them for what they are. Every one of the whatevers he encounters has some kind of supernatural speed or strength or something ability but they all see him as a threat.

I just want the freaking series to start showing what some of his Grimm powers are. Because if the only ability of a Grimm is true sight then the Grimms would have been wiped out long ago. Right now Nick seems to be the Xander of the Grimm world. Only surviving because he has befriended the ones with the real power.

and of course we had Sarah (and Chuck) in the Pixelated Nude

And Community cameos!

I felt this was easily one of the better episodes this season so far. Loving the whole storyline with Jeff and Lester, and that his "normalness" wasn't just a one-episode gag.

I think the other power the Grimms have, beside the reputation and the ability to see is their methodical documentation of each species strengths and weaknesses as seen in Friday's episode. The books, supplies and weapons in his aunt's trailer may be a Grimm's true advantage.

It's also possible that he does have speed and strength, as seen in his dying aunt fighting the much larger reaper in the Pilot, it's just either it hasn't manifested or he just doesn't realize it yet.

Well he has sketched some of the critters he's seen.

One of the things I've noticed is that apart from the Hexenbeasts, pretty much all of the "demons" are just human/animal hybrids. There's been bees, wolves, bears, rats, pigs, and whatever the repairman was. It also seems like much more of the animals in the show are trying to live normal lives. I'd like to see more dangerous animals that need to be taken out, I'd like to see another Grimm brought into the picture even if it's just briefly, and I'd really like them to speed up the wife's arc. My guess is that she ends up leaving him or dying after she learns the truth about him.

"Well he has sketched some of the critters he's seen."

True, true.

"I'd like to see more dangerous animals that need to be taken out, I'd like to see another Grimm brought into the picture even if it's just briefly..."

We'll see how this plays out...
Captain Renard, Nick's politically adept superior officer and a descendant of a powerful line of Grimm royalty.

don't you mean Reaper royalty, not Grimm royalty?

I'm guessing the Grimms and the Reapers have a long connection. Given the names, it could be they were once part of the same group, i.e the Grimm Reapers.
