Dream chaser extraordinaire! Judy tends to be a tad sarcastic and kind of goofy! She is an avid admirer of all things supernatural, paranormal, celestial and mystical. She loves to read, write, and watches way too much TV. She enjoys many genres of film and music (and let's be honest, most music from the 80s). She also has a wicked sweet tooth. Cupcakes beware.

Grimm – “Tree People” Review. Moral Green Area.

<i/>Grimm</i> – “Tree People” Review. Moral Green Area. 3

If you’ve ever wondered whether trees would attack after you trashed the forest, this episode depicts the anger said leafy wooded objects could unleash. “Tree People” instills some morals about how to treat the planet and to respect nature…or else. And let me tell you, the ‘or else’ is completely insane. The term ‘becoming one with nature’ takes on a whole new meaning, especially when the writers introduce a blood thirsty tree know as a “Joboko.” It reminds me of the movie Little Shop of Horrors, in a way.

Grimm – “The Son Also Rises” Review. Mirror Mirror.

<i>Grimm</i> – “The Son Also Rises” Review. Mirror Mirror. 10

Ok, can we talk about the elephant in the room, which is the so-called monsters the Grimm writers introduce in this week’s episode, “The Son Also Rises?” A Frankenstein type creature? Really? I mean, the Wesen of the week cases have been pretty awesome lately, but this particular story arc is a bit contrived. That’s not to say “The Son Also Rises” isn’t enjoyable to watch, but this particular ‘case of the week’ didn’t quite float my boat. The writers even include a character named Dr. Victor Shelley (guest star Geoffrey Blake) – a play on the Dr. Victor Frankenstein character from Mary Shelley’s novel “Frankenstein.” The great thing about this is Hank (Russell Hornsby) and Wu (Reggie Lee) get to work together while Nick (David Giuntoli) tends to another matter.

Hilarious! Entertaining! And downright laugh out loud funny! “Blind Love” is by far one of the most amusing episodes of Grimm to date. The shenanigans that go on at Monroe’s (Silas Weir Mitchell) birthday weekend getaway are fantastic. And we also meet another new intriguing Wesen, which makes saying goodbye to the cast of Grimm harder and harder each week.

Grimm – “Breakfast In Bed” Review. Room Disservice.

<i>Grimm</i> – “Breakfast In Bed” Review. Room Disservice. 22

Wesen that steal your sleep? Map of the universe and an ancient calendar? The title of this week’s installment of Grimm is a bit misleading. I think it’s more like a midnight snack that isn’t appetizing at all. In fact, when another new Wesen is introduced in “Breakfast In Bed,” it makes insomniacs like me cringe. A creature that feasts on the “melatonin” of sleep deprived patrons in the dilapidated Englewood hotel doesn’t seem like crime, but when one of the guests kills an innocent good Samaritan because he’s so confused, Nick (David Giuntoli) and Hank (Russell Hornsby) are on the case.
