Grimm – “Maiden Quest” Recap. Axes, Swords, and Golden Feathers.

<i>Grimm</i> – “Maiden Quest” Recap. Axes, Swords, and Golden Feathers. 4

Grimm writers do an excellent job of bringing something so old-fashioned into the modern day with the Weten Ogen Wesen tradition. Daniel Troyer (guest Richard Portnow), a wealthy businessman with mob ties, sends three young men on a task to avenge his son’s (not seen) death. Each man must pull a gold Griffon feather to see who goes first. The mission – to bring Troyer the head of Frankie Adkins (guest star Robert Baker), a low level crime boss who Troyer believes is responsible for the death of his son. And with only his daughter Emily (Madeline Zima) left, Troyer offers up her hand in marriage to whoever succeeds. But Emily doesn’t seem too pleased with this so-called tradition.

American Horror Story: Hotel (AHS: Hotel) is by far the most glamorous season out of the entire franchise. Pulling out all the stops since its premiere, AHS: Hotel delivers a visually compelling production from its cinematography to extravagant wardrobe designs. Yet beyond the enthralling aesthetics in AHS: Hotel, the season lacks fluidity in connecting its various story lines.

There is no shortage of mommy issues on Grimm. Whether it is some twisted Aswang tradition of consuming a son’s firstborn, or finding out your mother isn’t dead like you thought, the writers really know how to contort the notion of a mother’s love. “Lost Boys” takes us on a sad and perplexing journey with four orphaned children on the run, desperately seeking a mother’s love, even if the love isn’t given willingly. Buried in the subset of “Lost Boys” lies the ongoing saga of the Wesen uprising and the meaning of “Occultatum Libera” becomes much more significant.

Growing up, my family never had pets, not even a fish. Turns out Murray (Jeff Garlin) has a no pet policy similar to the one my parents had but with one slight difference. Instead of telling Barry (Troy Gentile) no as a child, he was told the family couldn’t get a dog because he’s deathly allergic to them. Watching Barry and Murray go at it after Barry finally learns the truth following a near death experience involving a smothering of puppy kisses is hilarious.

News: Fox Orders New Live-Action/Animated Hybrid Comedy Series <i>SON OF ZORN</i> 24

Upon arriving home on Earth for the first time in 10 years, ZORN (the voice of Jason Sudeikis), a fully animated, legendary warrior, finds that reconnecting with his live-action son, ALAN (Johnny Pemberton), and ex-wife, EDIE (Cheryl Hines), while suffering through a mundane office job and the banality of suburban life, is harder than waging actual war in his distant, mystical homeland of Zephyria. Tim Meadows (“Saturday Night Live”) also stars. The series is scheduled to debut during the 2016-2017 season.
