Kyle’s Choice

grimm515smallTonight, the fourth season of Grimm comes to a close, but fear not, there will be another spooky season coming in the fall. In the last few episodes, Juliette fully gave in to her evil Hexenbiest side. First she tried to turn Nick’s gun on Monroe, who managed to just narrowly avoid getting shot. And later, Juliette sent a fake distress message to Nick’s mother to lure her back in town with Adalind’s child. Once the trap was sprung, some men grabbed and killed Nick’s mother, leaving her head in a box, and took the child for the Royals. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang discovered that Renard was being possessed by Jack the Ripper, who had hitched a ride when he was being resurrected. However, they managed to kill the unwanted passenger without harming Renard. And Trubel made a surprise return to town at Monroe’s request.

Juliette is almost at the point of no redemption to me — I know she can’t control her actions, but she has become pure evil! I really hope they find a way to suppress/eliminate her Hexenbiest, but I suspect that may have to wait until next season. Will Nick (rightly) blame what happened to his mother on Juliette? How did that child get so big so fast, and will we see the birth of Adalind’s latest baby tonight? Why has Trubel returned to town, and is she back for good? It should be one exciting season finale tonight!

On tonight’s episode, “Cry Havoc,” Trubel helps Nick, who is hell-bent on getting revenge on the Royals after making a horrifying discovery in the Season 4 finale; at the same time, Juliette’s alliance continues to lead her down a dark path.

See if Nick gets revenge and if Juliette gets any less evil tonight on NBC at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/recording The Amazing Race and Childrens Hospital.

grimm410smallGrimm has really sucked me in this season, although I’m not really pleased with the whole Juliette is a hexenbiest and Adalind is pregnant with Nick’s baby story lines — then again, neither of those two characters have been my favorite… I want Juliette and Nick to stay together because he’s happy with her, but I’m not sure that’s possible if she’s a hexenbiest, and I KNOW it isn’t possible when she’s being a raving crazy b…witch. I did love last week when the new Royal put Adalind in her place about the father of her baby by announcing that Viktor was sterile. *laugh* It’ll be interesting to see where both those stories go — the new Royal is a tough SOB, isn’t he?

On tonight’s episode, “Hibernaculum,” Nick and Hank are called to investigate a rare Wesen that leaves its victims frozen solid. Meanwhile, Juliette starts to feel that she is losing her humanity as she seeks to get revenge on Adalind. Elsewhere, Captain Renard continues to suffer from mysterious bleeding and visions, while Monroe works toward coming to grips with the Wesenrein incident.

See if Nick, Hank, and Wu can solve the case tonight on NBC at 8/7c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, Last Man Standing, Cristela, Hawaii Five-0, Bride By Design, & Blue Bloods.

hawaiifiveo43smallIt’s been three weeks since the last new episode of Hawaii Five-0 (what is UP with the random breaks this second half of the season for so many shows?), and it was a great one. Steve was at Odell’s barbershop getting a haircut and old-fashioned shave, when a young man, bleeding from a gunshot wound, came stumbling in. They tried to stop the bleeding and Steve had to hold the bad guys off without his gun, which he’d left in his car, when they came to get the bleeding guy. There was a lot of action, a lot of bullets flying, and in the end, Steve figured out who was gunning for the kid. But it turned out the young guy was the bad guy’s son, and the father had figured out that his son was responsible for a good number of children going missing — he’d been kidnapping…and doing whatever else to…them for a while. He was trying to stop his son the only way he knew how without turning him in to the police. Seeing Steve break down was heartbreaking. Meanwhile, Jerry was accused of a string of home invasions, but Chin helped track down the guy who’d really been doing it. Jerry was hysterical as he freaked out over being in lockup for just a few hours. Overall, it was really a great episode — one of my favorite in a while.

I’ve seen tonight’s episode, and again, it’s a killer, emotionally. Michelle Hurd is back as Grover’s wife — and for a much bigger role this time. Also guest starring are Mykelti Williamson (Justified, 24, Boomtown, The Fugitive, & tons more) and Kim Wayans (Reckless, In Living Color). It’s really a terrific episode, and Grover absolutely shines.

On tonight’s episode, “’Ike Hanau,” when Grover’s oldest and closest friend tells him he witnessed his wife fall off a cliff to her death, Grover’s gut instinct tells him that this was no accident. Also, Danny and Dr. Shaw get trapped in an elevator with a dead body in need of processing.

To see what Grover’s gut is telling him, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching/DVRing The Amazing Race, Grimm, Last Man Standing, Cristela, Bride By Design, & Blue Bloods.

Jenny’s Choice #1

cristela320smallI’m so scared because TV Line has Cristela on their “bubble show” list. I’ve loved this comedy since episode one. Cristela is great, the supporting cast is fantastic, and I love the balance between her work and her home life. Last week’s episode was a good example of that. It was Henry’s confirmation at church, and he picked Cristela to be his sponsor. But when it came time for the confirmation, Cristela was supposed to be working, helping her boss, Mr. Culpepper, at a press conference to show that he wasn’t the racist he seemed to be on a video he’d accidentally been captured on when his daughter, Maddie, was vlogging at work. She almost missed the confirmation but realized at the last minute that family was more important. She ran all the way to the church and made it just in time. At work the next day, Mr. Culpepper said he was disappointed, but really, I think we can all tell he admires her, even though they aren’t necessarily the choices he would make. That’s part of what I love about the show.

On tonight’s episode, “Fifteen-Something,” when Juanita Canales invites the family to her granddaughter’s quinceañera, Natalia wants to show off and use different aspects of the family to impress everybody. This culminates in her pushing Cristela to bring Josh from work as her date, and Cristela has the first dance she never had when she turned fifteen.

To see if Cristela and Josh have the moment all the shippers are hoping for, tune in to ABC at 8:31/7:31c.

hawaiifiveo26smallI’ve been having a rough time lately with health issues, and as cheesy as it sounds, it’s my favorite shows that get me through the bad stretches. One of those shows is Hawaii Five-0. Last week’s episode was full of intense moments, and it brought us the return of Joe, who has been away for a while and not in contact with Steve. Joe is working private security, and he needed Steve’s help to protect a patient that was being taken to the CDC on the island. He was the first American to get a super-powered strain of the bird flu, and it could become a terrorist weapon if it fell into the wrong hands. Steve was really quick to start talking to Joe about what his mother did to Wo Fat’s mother and how it was a crime, but their chat got cut short when they were ambushed by a crane hitting their SUV, and the patient was kidnapped. The rest of the episode consisted of them all racing around the island to figure out where the patient was and stopping the terrorist group before they used the virus to cause mass destruction to Hawaii and ultimately the world. Thankfully, they succeeded, but Joe was exposed, so he was going to be in isolation until they were sure he didn’t have it. That was a good time for Steve to bug the room, after lying to Joe, saying that he trusted him. I’m interested to see what Steve finds out from his spying and if it leads to uncovering more of the truth.

On tonight’s episode, “Powehiwehi (Blackout),” while Five-0 hunts for a notorious criminal who has never been seen, Kono must fight for her life when she discovers the villain’s identity. Also, Kono confesses to Adam that she’s conflicted about their future together because of his ties to his formerly corrupt family business. Michael Imperioli guest stars.

To see if Kono and Adam can make it through this, tune in to CBS at 9/8c.

I’ll also be watching Grimm, 12 Monkeys, Blue Bloods, Undercover Boss, Hart of Dixie, Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and Constantine.
