"Don't you dare say 'heel'!"
This one's much better. I notice, though, that we've already
got ourselves an episode based on a fairly obscure Grimm's fairy tale (The Queen Bee) on only the third
episode. They need to ration the well-known ones, I suppose.
I like the concept of the episode, with the killer using a
flashmob to remain anonymous. It's surprising to see Nana Visitor, too, looking
not only much older than she did back in Star
Trek: Deep Space Nine but also much older than she did in Torchwood: Miracle Day. It's a much
better written episode, with a gripping plot and the nice twist that the
murderer is a goodie and on Nick's side. We also get a closer look at that
mysterious woman (my lovely girlfriend has compared her to Darla off of Angel) who is in league with Captain
Renard.
I think perhaps a format is beginning to evolve: a mystery
of the week with developing plot arc. I'm still a little concerned by David
Giuntoli's lack of charisma as a lead, but the series is looking promising.
