Need To Know About the Imp and Lady of the Lake

Hey guys! Twitter crashed... so that's fun. I just finished watching tonight's Alphas. It was fun. Today's blog post is going to be my Initial Reactions to tonight's Alphas and reviews for Grimm and Once Upon a Time. If you haven't seen the most recent episodes, you need to leave this post right now. SPOILERS ABOUND.

Alphas - "Need To Know" - Initial Reactions

  • It's Adam! With a pumpkin hat.
  • Fresh air with an explosion on the side.
  • Oh my God, Parish gasps like Jack Harkness!
  • DC sometimes is ridiculous.

  • Of course there's a bomb. See, this is why you have decoys.
  • Damn, Mitchel's gone.
  • Mitchel's learned how to block... or not.
  • So now Mitchel's himself for the first time in a long time. Good.
  • That's a bit ruthless there, Rosen. Just because she'll forget doesn't mean it's right.
  • And Hicks gets to hit the guy.
  • That's some weird chain things there...
  • You've gone and triggered something there, Nina.
  • Lol, Gary.
  • Nice plan there, Gary, except Skylar doesn't get it.
  • Skylar's been mind-fucked. Woohoo.
  • Why are evil people so impatient?
  • Okay, actually, everyone's impatient.
  • Fuck you, Hicks.
  • Because they're hiding from you. Really obviously hiding from you.

  • Let Nina rest, geez.
  • NEVER listen to the guy you're trying to torture. Especially not when they're obviously messed up.
  • Rosen, you're an idiot.
  • Killing him isn't going to get you anything.
  • Yeah, mind-fucked is seriously not good.
  • Okay... not what I thought was going on exactly, but I like it.
  • Rachel's got more of a concience than anyone else in that room.
  • You gotta stop trusting Rosen. He's gone darkside.
  • Gary's friggin awesome.
  • Poor Zoe.
  • Crap. That's not good.
  • This is a very good way to get yourself captured.
  • I have a feeling someone's gonna die.
  • Because Rosen is stupid.
  • Isn't there a guy behind you, Rosen? Wasn't he OBVIOUSLY behind you?
  • Next week looks awesome.

Grimm - "The Bottle Imp" - Review

     Okay so... I figured out it was the girl before it was revealed. I didn't think the dad was responsible for any of what went on, he was too freaked and then too calm. I'm also pretty sure the little girl is possessed by something. Otherwise, what was the significance of the episode title? Bottle Imps are traditionally notorious for causing insanity... or was it mischief? Either way...
     Munroe and Rosalee have managed to be cute even over the phone. I totally saw Munroe messing up the recipe coming. It was too good an opening for them not to take it in that direction. I like that Hank's been introduced to the trailer. His reaction to Nick's ogre-gun was very Hank. Juliette making more overtures toward Nick is nice, although I was expecting more between her and Renard. Guess that's going to have to wait. Also, Nick's dream at the beginning was obviously a dream before it was revealed that it was. Juliette was too calm about remembering crazy stuff for that to be a realistic reaction.
     I don't really have anything else to say about this episode. I liked it. It was a solid character/story arc building episode.

Once Upon a Time - "Lady of the Lake" - Review

     I'm really enjoying this season so far. I do wish, however, that Henry would stop being all "secret missions" and "annoying kid" all the time. He needs to be dialed back a bit. After all, he did almost die this episode because he was being stupid. She was an evil queen, Henry, she's going to have deadly stuff in her vault. Duh.
     The Fairytale Land flashback story was brilliant. I want more back-story on Lancelot and I'm disappointed he's dead in the present. It was nice seeing Charming's mother again. She's so sweet and I think she managed to become a surrogate mother to Snow despite the short amount of time they had together. I'm sorry she's dead.
     The Fairytale Land present story's shaping up to be pretty cool, too. Although, the ogre's don't seem all that bad, but I guess they might be akin to the Future Bats from Primeval... only bigger. The scene where Snow kills the ogre was awesome. She's so badass, even in a pink cardigan. I thought the heart-to-heart between Snow and Emma was a bit forced. Also Mulan randomly proclaiming Snow the leader was rather quick. I'm glad Aurora's going to channel her anger into helping out. Maybe she'll become another badass princess like Snow, she certainly needs to stop being "I'm not exactly dressed for the forest" girl. Speaking of which, what was with her confusion over Emma's jacket? Emma had been wearing it the entire time and it's not like jackets are a foreign concept in Fairytale Land... though it was slightly funny.
     Time to talk about the villains. Cora is seriously evil. Like, a few steps up from Regina. It's like she lost every shred of decency, assuming she had any to begin with. King George... really just needed to have a talk with Charming and Snow instead of cursing Snow. Like, would it have killed him to reconcile things with them and bless their marriage? Snow's a princess and it's perfectly reasonable... but of course he had to be a jerk about it. We did find out at the end of the episode that he's in Storybrooke so here are my questions: Is he still holding a grudge against Charming? What are we going to see happen regarding him? Is George just going to let Charming and Henry alone? Is Regina going to side with Charming and Henry or with George? Is George going to try to reconcile with Charming?
     Yeah so... great episode. I can't wait for next week.

Love ya, Jessie.
