That you aren’t interested in the character or her evolution is a personal choice. Some, me being one of them, are equally or more interested in the progression of an antagonist character than a protagonist character. It’s really nothing more than which characters and storylines hold a viewer’s interest.Quote:Robyn said, "You don’t need to apologize, and please know that I don’t mind passionate debates.
I agree that it’s easy to get caught up in the physical aspects of the show and not notice some of the finer details. But much of that probably stems from G & K giving us so little of the finer details. After watching a long stream of action driven scenes, it’s easy to miss those occasional and brief details explaining the characters’ motivation."
Well thanks, this evening, I've decided I should've come with hip boots AND a submersible to navigate this passionate forum!
Someone once said, 'stick a fork in me, I'm done!' - crossed my mind, but before I go to bed, I'm gonna take one last hopefully brief stab at a response.
I most definitely agree with the quote above, Robyn. You mentioned elsewhere the writers produced some decidedly uneven character development - Boy howdy.
I'm done with listening to one more person saying what a good mother Adalind turned out to be. Bleah. I don't think I ever cared about that. I'm just not into it. It just seems rather often we all try to defend our favorites and there's more to life than that, even on the forum.
Personally, I would have been content if every member of Team Grimm bit the dust within the first season. I was interested in Adalind and Renard and the Royals vs. the Resistance storyline. That another viewer is interested in Nick and his group, and the next Wesen he’ll battle doesn’t interfere with me enjoying the characters and storylines that interests me. My dissatisfaction with the show wasn’t due to it’s focus on the central character/hero, but the lack of character evolution and lazy writing.
