"The only stains we've come across are wine and
whoopee..."
This episode is based on Goldilocks and the Three Bears,
obviously, and the thought occurs to me: surely there are only so many Grimm's
fairy tales, and just a handful of well-known ones? How will they avoid running
out soon? It'll be interesting to follow this line of thought as the series
goes on, methinks.
This episode is relatively meh; the couple's three teenage
biker bear sons remind me of the wolf pack from Twilight: New Moon, especially with the Native American angle, and
that's not a film I'm fond of. This is also the point where I'm beginning to
notice the suspiciously large amount of product placement that there is for
Apple stuff; the place seems to be drowning in iPods and iPhones.
The CGI bears are... interesting. The special effects in
Grimm are nicely restrained and budget-friendly, though, with people's faces
only briefly shown with CGI so we get the message about what they are, but
that's it.
The backstory is interesting, though: Aunt Marie dies in
only the second one. Our Luke Skywalker seems to have lost his Obi-Wan. And
things are afoot: the police captain (American police ranks are so very
military!) is plotting with the nasty woman from last episode. Two episodes in
and we already have an arc.
