Grimm 2.19 Review: “Endangered”

By John Keegan The late-season slump curse for Grimm continues. While the drop in overall quality and momentum isn’t nearly as severe as it was for the first season, there seems to be a distinct lack of progression here at the end. The awkward manner in which the mythology elements were crammed into this episode shocks me, when there was plenty of opportunity to replace the surprisingly boring Wesen situation with something of more importance.

Revolution 1.13 Review: “The Song Remains the Same”

By John Keegan and J. M. Graham Watching the episode, something kept bothering me, some kind of subtle change that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. After about an hour after finishing I realized what it was: Revolution has grown up. There are still some problems, especially lingering from the elements of the first arc that remain, but this episode represented a marked improvement and the beginning of what looks to be a much needed massive expansion of the scope of the story.

Grimm 2.17 Review: “One Angry Fuchsbau”

By John Keegan Having Rosalee back in the swing of things is a joy to behold, as Bree Turner is just plain gorgeous, and the chemistry between Rosalee and Monroe is one of the best things about Grimm. Sadly, this episode doesn’t quite pull out all the stops, as it continues the recent tendency to deliver a tired trope as a “A” plot, so the ongoing subplots have a little more time to advance.

Revolution 1.12 Review: “Ghosts”

By John Keegan and J.M. Graham Revolution has been weakened by its inability to create convincing central conflict. The search for Danny was simply boring, because Danny was never anything more than a plot point. While there have been many other issues with the show (namely the absolutely insipid writing, both for plot and characters), a strong central conflict could very easily have made everything much more palatable. A prime example was the preceding episode: while there was a great deal of manufactured tension, bad military tactics, and an obviously staged death, the conflict between the rebels and the Monroe Republic has simply not lived up to its standard. This episode takes a step forward, if only a tentative one that is hindered by the now-standard quality issues.

Grimm 2.16 Review: “Nameless”

By John Keegan Whenever I see any kind of mainstream show, even a genre one, take on gamer culture in any significant way, especially MMORPGs, I get nervous. Even shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation couldn’t seem to wrap their brains around the notion that gamers aren’t just young, slovenly wrecks living in their parents’ basement. A lot of gamers these days are the folks sitting in the office. Most of the population under the age of 45 grew up with some kind of video gaming as a perfectly normal part of life.

Revolution 1.11 Review: “The Stand”

By John Keegan I can’t be the only one who saw the title for this episode and immediately thought of the Stephen King novel, hoping against hope that the series was going to take an abrupt left turn and kill off most of the cast. It’s hard to argue against the notion of making this a very different show. The writers take a few steps in more promising directions, but in the process, they throw in a plot twist that makes the entire fall run of the show seem pointless.

By Jamie Ruby Last night Revolution returned with its midseason premiere on NBC. The episode, entitled "The Stand," continued where the series left off, with the group reunited but now on the run from Monroe's helicopter. The episode ended with a huge shock as one of the main characters were killed. Before the episode, creator and executive producer Eric Kripke and star Elizabeth Mitchell, who plays Rachel Matheson, talked to the media about the death, as well as what else is to come on the NBC series.

By John Keegan After a few episodes that had to delve deeply into the season arc, it makes sense that the writers would turn to something a little more stand-alone in nature. But in keeping with the tighter storytelling forGrimm this season, it’s not quite so simple as that. What begins as a “monster of the week” tale leads into some interesting developments for Nick and Team Grimm.
