naushikaI have four episodes left in season 3 of Grimm and then I'll be all caught up! Season 3 has been soooo great. The show is more serial now and less wesen-of-the-week which is a+ for me. Also they finally nailed down a lot of what they wanted to do with the story. I feel like at first they had really no idea what they were doing with Renard, but now he has a pretty solid place. And it's kind of funny it took them almost three years to explain how it is that wesen know Nick is a Grimm but FINALLY THEY DID.
Also practically every episode at this point has a scene with some variation of Nick, Juliette, Hank, Monroe, and/or Rosalee together and RESEARCHING or HAVING DINNER or JUST HANGING OUT and it delights me soooooooo. I love it when a Scooby Gang comes together.

In comic book-related OMG YAYYYYYYYY news, Spider-Woman is getting her own comic again! YAY!!!!! The OH GOD, WHYYYYYY flip side of this coin is that the comic's artist will be Greg Land. Also known as the artist who literally - LITERALLY, I AM NOT KIDDING, he literally does this - traces screenshots of porn when drawing his female characters. Sooooo. Not excited about that. (But I will buy the comic anyway because a) SPIDER WOMANNNNNNNn and b) artists often change frequently on comics, there's no guarantee Land will be around forever.)
In comic book-related Uhmmm okay I guess? news, Thor will now be a woman. It's not a female version of Thor - Thor is just becoming a woman. Okay.. I guess? I have no problem with the concept of genderswapping in theory but I'm just really nervous that they would take such a well known and loved male character to make female because I feel like it's just gonna generate a loooooot of strife in the comic world, know what I mean? I just can't WAIT~~ to read all the essays about how Thor is now the worst superhero ever because Thor's now a she. But I also applaud Marvel for trying something fresh and new and pushing the envelope and I'm always in favor of MORE LAYDEEZ. I can't make up my mind where I fall on this.

I think the Thor genderswitch sounds awesome, though I understand the pre-emptive flinching re: the inevitable sexist backlash. BUT if we never did things that might result in a sexist backlash...we wouldn't do ANYTHING EVER. :)
