As I mentioned in the po...I am THRILLED about this. As I mentioned in the post, Hornsby's a damn good actor and it's a shame they didn't use him much in the first season. I kind of suspect that's because they didn't know they were going to get the back 13 eps, and therefore opted to drag that plotline out a little longer in favor of cramming more metaplot in. But now? Hank and Monroe can join forces to snark at Nick. All is right with the world!<br /><br />And yeah, Nick... I don't know. I know he's the everyman, but you have to give your everyman enough quirks to make him interesting to me. Even if they're not MY quirks, making him a little less bland would let me identify with him more. And I'm incredibly disappointed they didn't continue with the Nick-as-profiler thing from the pilot where he pegged Adalind's various issues in ten seconds or less. I mean, really? He should still be able to do that for humans, and I would expect somewhat for Wesen by now, and it was such a GOOD way to play the latent Grimm heritage.<br /><br />(On the other hand, Juliette was apparently a baker in the pilot, and her being a veterinarian means that if Nick ever stops LYING TO HER she could be part of the Scooby gang too. So I mostly blame that on pilot wobbles. It just irritates me.)<br /><br />Anyway! You're quite welcome. We'd like to get more Hank analysis up in the three weeks before the next ep, but we've got a terrifying backlog to write first, so no promises.Anna Hammetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10095633218958433882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271373189216022547.post-54543981542744331432012-09-06T11:44:11.261-07:002012-09-06T11:44:11.261-07:00I am so happy about Hank finally knowing the deal....I am so happy about Hank finally knowing the deal. They really should have done it in the first season. Instead they pretty much shoved Russell Hornsby to one side. I like his character a lot. Now that he can be part of the main storyline (instead of playing the unwitting pawn), I'm pretty sure things will be a lot more enjoyable. I enjoy looking at Nick but, among the characters, he's pretty much the one with the least charisma. I mean I quite like him but, seriously, when he's in a scene with any one of the other main characters (with the possible exception of Juliette), whatever shine he has sort of dulls.<br /><br />I love this post.
