I was struck by the number of times Nick and Hank said they couldn't prosecute the wesen Logan because they had no witnesses who saw his face, only his woge form. Guess that's why they sent Trubel in to make a deal to capture Logan for the reward and not Nick, who the brothers knew to be a detective. Don't like to challenge anyone's mental acuity, but those guys were dumb.
But I confirmed for myself that Hank did seem to be discouraged at how they have to do things in stopping crime in the wesen world, right there at the end.
The first time I saw the show, I missed how really important the BC big shot was that was visiting Portland; the one Eve killed. Evidently he was one of the original organizers of the Black Claw, and Trubel said it was a very important kill for HW, too. The two body guards were a Chech national and an East German whose father was a member of the Stasi during the Russian control of that country. And Trubel mentioned the geothermal hot springs in a small Swiss town on the border of the Black Forest when she was talking about Rankin. There may be a connection somewhere there. Because of this background Trubel gave us on these three BC guys, I'm wondering if they were in Portland to try to get Nick's keys.
Turns out Hadrian's Wall is run by a department even higher up in our government than the FBI and they have full funding for this international organization fighting against the BC. Meisner did say that their compound was officially nonexistent and that there were many just like it all over the world. It looks like such a big outfit, as big as BC maybe. Boy, some high security system, it identified Nick while he was walking through the hall. I don't see how Nick and the gang can choose not to join forces with the HW, even if they don't fully trust them. They don't have much of a choice, imo. Additionally, Trubel, who I am learning to trust more and more, seems to be very dedicated to the work HW is doing. Add to that the fact that Meisner, left working with the Resistance (and he did actively support their cause) to take up this fight because he think's it's much more important, and I'm on going to get on board.
Renard's a goner because of that little red head, betcha. She's probably an agent working for Dixon or the BC or both. Hope not because they look good together. Maybe she's another dang Hexenbiest, that's all we need.
If I were Monroe I'd tape that letter Rosalee tore up and read the rest. No trouble with this old flame now, but it's coming.
Anyone notice how fast Trubel talks? Goes with her personality, but I have a problem following her at times; it's an age thing.
speakeasy, if you have close captioning on your television that is a real help in determining what these characters say. I am half-deaf and it has helped many times. It's weird with close captioning. When the program airs for the first time, I have noticed some stations don't offer the captioning. If I watch on demand, the captioning will be available.
I actually watched the episode tonight. I didn't really think it was too bad. I saw a couple of nods to Jaws in this episode. I wasn't going to say anything about it, but my husband piped up, particularly the kids swimming at night and the monster looking up at them from below. I also rather liked that Juliette livened up a bit from her robotic self.
I can't say how many posts I have read that stated Juliette could never understand Nick's world. It was kind of an ironic twist to show Nick fumbling around and not being able to understand Eve in her world. I was about to give up hope on this whole Eve thing. Now it might be rather interesting.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
