Think I've got this Pleiades thing figured out. Now there are seven stars in the constellation. Pi Day is March 14, and if we subtract 10 from March 24 and add the episode number we have 720, which could mean anything, but the sum of that number minus the numerology number of death, which is zero, according to me, leaves us with the same stupid number of 720 and who cares anyway.
I didn't see any difference at all in Nick's behavior as a Grimm in this episode. He gave the Alpe, who looked something like a Venus Fly Trap (planet, stars, constellations, get it?) a chance to live and what else could he offer as the alternative other than a death threat? Dan Wells looked like a 98-pound weakling from a Charles Atlas commercial (Atlas, maps, maps of the universe, get the connection?) That quote at the beginning of the episode was pretty nihilistic and set the tone perfectly. Sleep is a form of death (Morpheus, dreams, night, night sky, stars, mean anything?). Maybe it's all a red herring.
But the theme of this episode was death in the extreme. I'm beginning to get the impression that there might be some danger in all this. Mind like a steel sieve.
Hank had some good lines and I always enjoy that. No Easter egg that I could see, can't have everything.
Thinking we may see the number seven crop up again soon. And I feel the little band, with Nick as their dauntless and heroic leader, will be ready for the event portended in the stars because they are getting close to decoding the message in the astrological map. But they will have to go back in time, even if it's done via computer program, to find the event behind the whole projection into a future prediction that will come about on 3-24, how's that for obtuse observations.
Hanging around here is ruining my mindless absorption of what is displayed on the screen when I watch Grimm. I kept questioning every line of the dialog in my rewatch, looking for condescending behavior toward women, or the self-driven interests in Nick's actions, or the slavish devotion to an undeserving leader displayed by a group of superior adherents - I sincerely mean it. Didn't spot any of that, but it did distract me. However, I did notice that it was a good thing Rosalie kept a humongous syringe of melatonin right under the counter.
