Grimm - "A Dish Best Served Cold" - Review

Intro

This review will be done entirely in note-form. I watched the episode, but hadn't actually taken notes on it, so I jotted down some notes later that night. They're longer than my usual "Miscellaneous Notes," but if you were expecting a full review for this episode... I'm sorry to disappoint. My head just wants to get on with the review for this week's Grimm instead.

SPOILER WARNING

The following review is for Grimm, Season 3, Episode 3: "A Dish Best Served Cold." If you haven't seen the episode, please do so before reading my notes/review. Even my character lists contain spoilers.

Grimm - "A Dish Best Served Cold" - Review

Characters:

• Bud - Played by Danny Bruno. Eisbiber. Refrigerator repair man. One of Nick's friends.
• Sebastien - Played by Christian Lagadec. Renard's spy.

Notes/Review:

• Interesting mystery on both sides of the Atlantic. Renard will soon know that Adalind was working with Frau Pech.
• I liked the solution to the Blutbad poisoning. I figured it was a ruse when Hank poked Monroe, though. Nick's reaction to accidentally killing his friend would have been much worse than it was if he'd actually done it. I do kind of wonder where they got all the Blutbaden to pull that off, but it was cool.
• Nick's zombie side-effects seem to be medically unexplainable.
• Loved the little Scoobie party over Nick moving out of Monroe's. Was not expecting that. Monroe covered surprisingly well.

Housekeeping

Okay, now on to the review for last night's Grimm, since I have time. W00T for unexpected days off.
