grimm219smallLast week’s Grimm was a bit gruesome. An ancient Wesen ritual was back in Portland. Victims (mostly homeless men) were hung up on a wooden cross of sorts and then stabbed with a Wesen’s horn. Their blood was then collected in a cup and poured in a circle around the victim. When Monroe went undercover at one of the meetings of a group of Wesen, we saw the guy committing those crimes as part of the group – who were some of the Wesen who wanted to go public. They eventually caught the murderer, killing him right before he could kill his latest victim. Meanwhile, Eve, Trubel, and Meisner went after a group of Black Claw members or Wesen who had knowledge of them, and they were all killed but one. Eve then did her scary Wesen-powers thing and took away his mouth, eyes, and ears so he couldn’t speak, see, or hear, and once they let him stew awhile like that, he spilled what he knew.

Eve is really creepy. I mean, she’s scary powerful, but she’s also creepy in that she literally shows no emotion whatsoever. It’s frightening. What’s not scary or creepy? How much I love Nick and Adalind together. I mean, they aren’t TOGETHER together, but they’re getting closer – especially given their recent kiss. But the way they act around each other really is sweet and fun to watch. I’ve seen tonight’s episode, and there’s some great Eve stuff AND a fun Adalind scene as well – not to mention a huge step in one of the series’ mythology lines!

On tonight’s episode, “Map of the Seven Knights,” Monroe gets a call from a relative in Germany that will bring Nick closer to his ancestors. Things get complicated when the nefarious group Black Claw is also after the same artifacts. Elsewhere, Capt. Renard helps a mayoral candidate get an edge on his opponent. Meanwhile, Trubel confronts Eve about Nick and Adalind.

See what Nick learns tonight on NBC at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, Last Man Standing, American Diner Revival, Hawaii Five-0, Second Chance, Blue Bloods, Guy & Hunter’s European Vacation, & Burgers, Brew & ’Que.

bluebloods115smallIt’s been one of those weeks where either myself or one of the kids are ill, making it an overall long and tiring week. I am looking forward to kicking back and relaxing tonight with some great television, and Blue Bloods definitely fits the bill.

Last week’s episode was a roller coaster for our favorite police family, as Frank struggled with his old partner publishing a book about the “good ol’ days,” because he felt that the book didn’t represent who he was today. Jamie and Eddie had a difference of opinion when Eddie signed them up for an undercover detail by bugging a detective nonstop, and that didn’t sit well with Jamie because he doesn’t want people thinking that he used his last name to get special treatment. Eddie explained that she doesn’t want to work the beat for the rest of her career, and they came to the conclusion that they would remain partners for now but that their future goals may find them going down separate paths.

Erin had the ultimate backbone of the episode when an investigator for her office was murdered while working on a case against a construction company with ties to the mob. All of the witnesses had mysteriously gone missing. Erin wasn’t going to let her friend die in vain, so she kept digging and discovered that it was actually the father of her ADA who’d been working with the mob – as was the ADA in proxy through his dad. In the end, Erin managed to bring everyone down, and I was impressed at how tough she was in order to solve her friend’s murder.

In my opinion, it wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if Jamie and Eddie went on separate career paths, because then it would it open the door for a romantic relationship between them without the issue of them being partners getting in the way. Erin has always been one of my favorite characters because she is an excellent example of strength and intelligence for a female lead, which we need on television so that this up-and-coming generation of girls can see what they could be one day. This show always manages to teach us a lesson and also remind us of the importance of family and loyalty… All things we are short of in society as a whole.

On tonight’s episode, “Cursed,” when a local mobster is gunned down in his car, Danny and Baez try to get information from the mob’s low-level errand boy they find tied up in the trunk before the gang retaliates. Also, an NYPD officer asks for a new shield number to honor her late father, but Frank is conflicted, as it’s the same number as his deceased son, Joe’s.

Find out what the Regans have to teach us this week tonight on CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching MasterChef: Junior, Hell’s Kitchen, Hawaii Five-0, and Undercover Boss.

hawaiifiveo18smallIt’s been a month since the last Hawaii Five-0 due to the holidays, and it was a tough one. The brother of a promising young boxer was killed, and the prime suspect was the reigning boxing champion – a loud, brash “bad boy” of boxing. Turned out the guy was not quite like he portrayed himself in public, and he wasn’t the killer. The killer turned out to be a man Gabriel hired to get security access to the fight from the victim, but when he wouldn’t give it to them, the guy killed him because he believed that’s what Gabriel wanted him to do. In the end, the victim’s brother got in the ring and nearly went down, but he ended up winning the fight like we all had to know he’d do. It turned out that Gabriel wanted in because his men were going to kill the heads of all the crime families, who were all in attendance. Five-0 saved them all, but in the end, Gabriel stopped the ambulance carrying the one who’d made a deal with him and ended up killing him. This guy is so dirty. He needs to be caught…soon! Especially since he’s the one ultimately responsible for Adam’s predicament.

Speaking of Adam… Elsewhere during the episode, he and Kono spent some time together before he had to surrender himself to the prison. He went to the temple and prayed (I’m assuming that’s what it was…) and then they had a sweet, sad good-bye scene outside the prison gates. He gave her his ring for safekeeping and asked her to wait, telling her a story of his grandparents, who were separated for three years when his grandfather was drafted to the Japanese Navy. Eighteen months is going to be a long time, but I can’t imagine Kono won’t wait for him. I hope she does. I love Adam and adore them together!

On tonight’s episode, “Kuleana (One’s Personal Sense of Responsibility),” while Steve and Danny attend a couples retreat in Maui to work on their partnership issues, Kamekona’s dangerous past comes back to haunt him.

Find out how Kamekona’s past comes back tonight on CBS at 9/8c.

bluebloods1113smallWeek after week, the Regan family on Blue Bloods show us what real family bonds look like and they help keep New York safe at the same time. Last week, we saw as the DA put Erin on the case of the cops being arrested for tampering with records. Eddie got arrested for making a parking violation disappear. Erin didn’t want the case, and Frank definitely didn’t want her working it, but she needed to prove to the entire office that she doesn’t take sides, even for her father. In the end, Erin worked things out, and hopefully from now on, the police and the District Attorney’s office will work in unison. I don’t blame the family for being upset about Erin being on the case, but at the same time I understand that she didn’t have a choice. I’m glad it all looks like it’s going to work out for the best.

On tonight’s episode, “Unsung Heroes,” when Danny and his family are threatened by Thomas Wilder, a serial killer Danny has been unable to apprehend, Linda’s concern intensifies over her husband’s job as well as the state of their marriage. Also, Jamie challenges his superior officer, Sgt. William Mulvey, during a hostage situation.

To see if Linda and Danny can work this problem out, tune in to CBS at 10/9c.

I’ll also be watching The Amazing Race, Hawaii Five-0, Grimm, and MasterChef: Junior.

theamazingracesmallWhile I’ve been enjoying this season of The Amazing Race, there’s one team I really want gone…and it seems like most of the others do as well. Last week, the teams headed to Zambia, and brothers Tanner & Josh offered the second Express Pass to whichever team U-Turned Justin & Diana. However, the brothers jumped the gun and wasted their Express Pass on an easy Roadblock, only to discover the next leg didn’t even start until the next morning, so all of the teams were caught up before the U-Turn. Justin & Diana got to the U-Turn first but decided not to use it and ended up making it to the pit stop first. When Tanner and Josh reached the pit stop, they discovered the leg was not over and that they were still racing. However, it was time for them to choose who gets the Express Pass – and we were left hanging as to their decision.

Who will Tanner and Josh give the Express Pass to? Will they stick with their partners, the news reporters (who they don’t realize also have a deal with Justin & Diana), will they go with a strong team so that it doesn’t make a big difference, or will they go with some other strategy? And who will be eliminated this week? I really hope somehow tonight the incredibly obnoxious and annoying Justin goes from first to last!

On tonight’s episode, “King of the Jungle (Zambia, Africa),” the race continues in Zambia, Africa, where racers plunge more than 250 feet over the Zambezi River, feed a trio of crocodiles, and walk with lions through a jungle.

To see which team goes home, tune in to CBS at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording Undateable, Truth Be Told, Z Nation, and The Knick.
