I've seen this sort of thing before, and it often leads to a flame war. If you post anything less than a glowing review of a television episode, you're automatically labelled a "whiner." It's a cheap, underhanded way of shutting down an opinion, and should be discouraged whenever possible.
Totally agreed, @Hexenadler. The entire purpose of this forum is to share opinions whether they mesh with our own or not. I try very hard to NOT take an opinion about a show and transfer it to other people. The forum IS about the show; it is not about the forum members and/or ATTACKING (edited this) their differing opinions.
This is the first time in 4 1/2 seasons I have not like an episode. I'm allowed to say that. Period. Any one of us is allowed to say that. Calling people names is just so very 2nd grade. It's much more difficult, and apparently challenging, to have intelligent discourse.
@Lou...you are correct about the build-up to this episode. Perhaps I mentally set the bar too high for this first episode after the hiatus. I am going to watch S4E13 and S4E14 towards the middle of the week (maybe Thursday) to lead up to Friday to see if I feel differently. I like to keep an open mind about my fav show.
Cheers!

The part where Victim Girl used Rabbit Hunter's iron bar against him was similar to 2.03 Bad Moon Rising. And they did the classic-style woge, where the actor looks away and pauses dramatically for the important few seconds.
I didn't have deja vu. And I'm not sure what part of it did that for you.
Just last week we had horny teenagers getting into big trouble....As far as the villain, goes, there have been many episodes where the nasty wesson killed innocnent victims. But this epi seems more direct than most.....Bad moon rising involved a teenage girl getting kidnapped. but the rest of the show was pretty different.
Not sure I had a feeling of deja vu so much as...just familiarity with the Portland area and how the Grimm directors/producers use it now. Besides the others listed above, there are a lot of Grimm episodes where women or girls get into trouble in the forest: the first episode where the little girl in Red is taken to the cottage by the big bad wolf who fattens her up with pot pies, the feral Rapunzel character, the pregnant Glühenvolk who had her little blue baby in another cottage in the woods, and even TRubel got into trouble in her first episode by running into the woods to escape her assailants, to name a few more.
The deep dark forests (and the little mystical cottages) are huge in both Grimm the show and in Grimm fairy tales. This is what I see over and over again. Perhaps that repetitive theme gave you a bit of the chillywillies?
