Grimm: 5x04 “Maiden Quest”

“After three days and nights, whoever tries and does not succeed shall be put to death.”

Hank: “I think we're grasping at feathers.”

Hmmm….

Grimm: 5x03 “Lost Boys”

“I think I had a mother once”

Monroe: “ Well, look, whatever kind of family you have, reality is relative. You know, normal is just the middle of the mess.”

You don't say! 

Reign: 3x05 “In a Clearing”

Mary: “We were supposed to dance under the stars”

Well, that was heartbreaking and, if you really think of it, absolutely unnecessary. And here is why…

Reign: 3x04 “The Price”

Elizabeth: “Why must the fate of nations be decided in a shared bed?”

Well, color me disappointed.

Grimm: 5x02 “Clear and Wesen Danger”

“Cherish those who seek the truth but beware of those who find it”

Adalind: “If something happens to you... I have Kelly, but I have no job, I have nowhere to live, no place to raise him. I mean, what if he's like me? What if he's like you? What if he's some weird combination of both of us... Like some kind of HexenGrimm or Grimmabiest.”

Remember back when the series just started Captain Renard and Adalind were working together to kill Nick’s aunt, while Nick was living his happily never after, totally ignorant of his destiny? Now Sean is Nick's friend and Adalind is the mother of his child and they are living together, eating sandwiches and bragging about their cooking. Yeah, we came a long way!

Grimm: 5x01 “The Grimm Identity”

“It is not light that we need, but fire.”

Nick: “Juliette's dead. They took her body. They grabbed Trubel. They took my mom's head. I don't know what the hell's going on.”

Welcome back Grimmsters! 
It’s season 5!

Reign: 3x03 “Extreme Measures”

Claude: “God, I wish Mother were here. She manages tragedy with ruthless clarity.”

It felt like a finale of sorts. 
Did you feel that too?

Reign: 3x02 “Betrothed”

The finance term out of Catherine's book: “ask for a full reckoning of the realm's accounts” really means “activate a plot to assassinate the entire line of  Bourbons

Well, to be perfectly honest I had made no notes while watching this one. There is always a first time for everything. While that is comforting, it makes it rather difficult to review the episode … Are you still with me? Read on.

Reign: 3x01 “Three Queens, Two Tigers”

William: “Every monarchy needs a clear heir to the throne, so power can be passed down
without bloodshed or the fear of it.” 

Welcome back to the third season of “Reign”. The opening episode was full of boats, cages, wild animals, including of a human variety. With all the sex, the actions, the plotting and travel at a speed worthy of J. Verne’s Nautilus, the tiger totally stole the entire episode. Well, maybe not the entire episode, but definitely some parts of it.  

Reign: 2x22 “Burn”

Narcisse: “… as it turns out, there is one thing worse than being hated by Catherine de Medici, that is being loved by her.”

You don’t say!
