Mostly it's Jess Riley's comment about hormones in the meat and the fact that she didn't seem upset or startled by it, but treated it as a known variation on the theme, so to speak. The way we know menses in women are sometimes irregular, sometimes involve PMDD, it might not be common but it's a known thing that can pop up, that this change happens earlier in the Drang-Zorn's age. And while that might not appear in the books, the fact that there is a change at all involving short tempers and mood swings probably would have been in there. <br /><br />About finished business, I'm not sure. I've thought that about a few characters, and at least Ariel the Damonfeuer has yet to pop up again. But maybe!<br /><br />I definitely wish we'd had some of Monroe and Jess or Monroe and Nick discussing the Drang-Zorn on screen. It did feel very "huh?" at the end, there. Definitely, a lot of shows (though Grimm is better than most) don't use small things like phone calls or line references as well as they could. <br /><br />Maybe we should write something on that theme? ;) Supposedly the overarching theme on this season was family, but I haven't seen much of that from anyone but Renard. There's the aspect of chosen family, too, but with recent events between Monroe, Rosalee, and Nick, it seems like that's getting much more de-emphasized and pulled apart rather than highlighted and drawn together. Poor everyone, though. And it's true, the hallucinations hadn't started up for her. And Renard seems more affected by the Juliette compulsion than she's affected by the corresponding one, which is interesting. The whole thing got a mention in the synopsis for next week, so we'll have to see how this plays out!Kitty Chandlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524808952260453841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271373189216022547.post-187063063882478972012-10-14T17:08:43.138-07:002012-10-14T17:08:43.138-07:00I didn't particularly get the sense that readi...I didn't particularly get the sense that reading more carefully would have gotten Nick the information that could have led him to put it together correctly: from everything the parents and Jess Riley said, it sounds like this is anomalous. I wonder if the girl will pop up again? The way we left her in the ep, she didn't look at all like finished business.<br /><br />This was a perfectly fun monster-of-the-week ep, with enough of a small dose of plot (Juliette and Renard) not to feel like a cop-out. I wish we'd had a small bit of how Monroe even came to know about Nick's issue and put him and Jess together onscreen; I know it would have been just a couple of phone calls, but it would have helped the two subplots tie together better, which in turn would have helped the overarching theme of unsuspectingly releasing something dangerous all tie together better: Monroe withe the wrong ingredients, Nick letting the girl go to an unsuspecting family (who will NOT be helping the state out anymore, I'd imagine), and Renard's Juliette issue. I suppose Juliette did it too by going to the precinct at all, as she seems not to have had any Renard hallucinations prior.<br /><br />As for how Monroe knows a juvie officer: possibly part of his still-mysterious Dark Past? I would really, REALLY enjoy some flashbacks to Monroe in juvie. Oh, man.Miwomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709427652545868711noreply@blogger.com
