[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 5719604, member: 7883"] In the second episode, I felt some of that stuff starts falling into place a little more. Not perfectly, but her actions make sense, and you can see she's got some thought behind them. As to Grimm, I liked that. It's still early days....but I liked the humour, and I liked the "tone" better than that of Once Upon a Time...even if I felt that the idea behind Once Upon a Time was more original. Even if Grimm is just a latter day Buffy remake, starring the Big Bad Wolf instead of vampires, I still think it could have legs. As Pan's Labyrinth showed, you can get a really great horror bent out of fairy/faerie tales, and there are a *tonne* of creatures who could be featured. If nothing else, it gets us aware from the current vampire/werewolf/witch paradigm we see in some other programs. It's got a whole "these children's stories weren't fables....they were warnings" type of vibe, which could end up being cool. I got a hoot about the big bad wolf marking his territory, and this sarcastic comment about the main character thinking he needed silver bullets to kill a werewolf. Banshee [/QUOTE]
