She's all mean and evil now just because she's Hexened up? I hated the whole "Wesen magic removes your free will" angle when they did it with her the first time, I don't like it any better as a rehash. Its not even like a "tragic love story" with her and Nick, its just a series of 'I want to hit you in the face with a frying pan right now and hope it knocks some sense back into you, Fred Flintstone-style' moments.
I prefer to wait until the season is finished before passing final judgement, but I agree the Nick/Juliette plot wasn't at its best in this episode. I do think there's potential in the concept of Juliette's original human persona butting heads with her new, more self-centered Hexeny self, but that remains in the hands of the writers.
Quote:Prince Kenneth is not that compelling, to me, so far. He's brutish, but not in an effective way - he seems like he's just likely to shoot someone he might need later, or something. He's not calculating enough to be a brutal genius type, nor unpredictable enough to be a brutal wildcard type, so his only real defining characteristic is his violence. He's Beast Rabban, not Feyd-Rautha. He's Alex DeLarge. The fact that everyone else had to announce what a badass he was, to me, just shows that he's not a badass. But yeah I bet he is a Grimm.
Totally with ya on that one. They're trying to sell Kenneth as a legitimate badass, but it ain't working. It might be unfair to criticize the character this much, as we've only seen one episode featuring him so far (there was a time when almost everyone besides Monroe annoyed me), but if things don't improve, he's a video game boss for Nick at most. One that I hope he THOROUGHLY destroys.
