Grimm: 5x13 “Silence of the Slams”

Rosalee: “…yada, yada, yada...”

Yep, there was too much of excitement lately, let’s water it down a bit and have boxing in masks, we haven’t had one of those in a long while.

Boy! This was excruciatingly boring and utterly uninteresting. The men in masks took way too much screen time, I was constantly checking my watch and that is not a good sign. There were however few interesting bits... it didn't save the episode, but made sitting it through less miserable.

Last week Sean Renard was the one excluded from the almighty circle of trust. This week it was Adalind. Too preoccupied with her own condition she didn’t even notice that Nick lied to her. I’m not sure I like where this is going, I thought we were long past that. At least he was obviously uncomfortable about lying to her and at least she brought up her Hexenbiest predicament, even if only hypothetically.

The famous footage was back and this time it was Eve’s turn to do the math. She also confronted Sean and spied on him to confirm her suspicion. That whole dinner conversation about Sean needing a family and sort of already having one was somewhat troubling. If Black Claw could give them Diana back, they will both do what will be asked of them. Sean and Adalind running the city side by side on behalf of Black Claw! Can you imagine the possibility? Yum yum!  

Some observations  

Episode’s opening quote was: Give a man a mask and he will show his true face”. Oscar Wilde

I know I said it before, but visual effects on this show are just fantastic. The scene where the mask was coming off was very well done.

Rosalee is fluent in Aramaic, but doesn’t speak Spanish. 

Memorable Quotes:

Wu: “So we're thinking this is some kind of healing stick-magic wand thing?”

Nick: “Looks like he took his face off in one piece.”
Hank: “This takes a facelift to a whole other place.”

Nick: “I believe when subjected to multiple personalities at the same time, the human mind has only one escape: to go completely mad.

Sol’s rating: just barely 1.
