Grimm: 4x14 “Bad Luck”

“No one is so thoroughly superstitious as the godless man”

Juliette: “Is that forever?”

Bad Luck indeed. The way they ended the previous episode left fans in general and me in particular in anticipation. I had lots of expectations.  Boy, this episode did not live up to any of them!

Reign: 2x17 “Tempting Fate”

Mary: “Before you dare to trust anyone else, you must first trust yourself. Your own power. That strength I'd thought I'd lost, I haven't. It's in me still.”

When this episode ended I immediately went online to check if this was a season finale. I knew it wasn’t, I knew there’s still some episodes left, but it felt like one. It wasn’t a finale of course; it was just a cliffhanger episode for us to dwell on until series return on April 17^th. 

Reign: 2x16 “Tasting Revenge”

Antoine: “You may end up with an English crown on your head.”

Conde: “If I have a head left to put it on.”

This episode felt a bit chaotic. Lots of sex and moving on and ‘moving on’ sex. Couples keep getting together and drifting apart. It’s like new episode new beginning. Or the end.

Reign: 2x15 “Forbidden”

Mary: “I don't know if I can love anyone again, but I know I can't keep living like this. A queen but not a queen. A wife but not a wife.” 

This was a wonderful episode that opened so many new doors for pretty much every single character. From possible carrier as Madame for Greer to a more daring move to Scotland for Mary, the episode grabbed the attention and didn’t let it go. Will they act on any of it is another question.

Grimm: 4x13 “Trial by Fire”

“And glory like the phoenix midst her fires, exhales her odours, blazes, and expires. ”

Juliette: “Bring it on, bitch.”

We met a cool, or rather hot, Wesen with an exotic name and Nick’s house got trashed. Again. How does he get by on cop’s salary is a mystery to me.

Reign: 2x14 “The End of the Mourning”

Mary: “You will be the death of me.  And I of you.”

There were few surprises in this one, only they weren’t that much surprising if you follow the series and know the characters.

Reign: 2x13 “Sins of the Past”

Narcisse: “There are those who merely believe they have power, and there are those who actually have it.” 
 

Well, this was an episode for everyone. It was hilarious watching Catherine having to endure an unorthodox middle age treatment of a sickness she didn’t even have. It was painfully dramatic watching Mary letting Francis go. It was very romantic, how Bash spoke of his love for Kenna, his words were the best love confession I’ve heard in a long awhile.

Grimm: 4x12 “Maréchaussée”

“Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are.”

Victor: “Well, we've broken the ice. Let's have lunch.”

The mummy, sorry, the Manticore slash bounty hunter was tracking and killing Wesen who violated the rules of the Wesen Council. There goes the case of the week.

Reign: 2x12 “Banished”

Catherine: “That was a very expensive mistake. What jealous tantrum did that necklace pay for?”

Well, this was bloody brilliant!  

I believe the review will be a long one, so bear with me!

Grimm: 4x11 “Death Do Us Part”

“He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began”

Sean: “What the hell is going on?”

Yeah, let’s start with that! For a review of an episode where words and numbers and objects were shuffling around it is only appropriate to start at the end.
