Penny Dreadful – “This World Is Our Hell” Review. Embrace Your Sins.

As last week’s episode “A Blade of Grass,” kept us cooped up in a padded room, “The World Is Our Hell,” gives us reprieve in the form of the wide open space of the New Mexico Territory. With room to breathe, it’s safe to say New Mexico also has its drawbacks. Water is scarce and Ethan (Josh Hartnett) has a long way to go before he reaches his father’s ranch. Other dangers lurk nearby as Inspector Rusk (Douglas Hodge) continues his relentless pursuit of Ethan but the real threat rides side-by-side with him. Hecate (Sarah Greene) desperately wants to be with Ethan and I fear she may have finally convinced him that the darkness holds peace, at least for the moment.

Grimm Season 5 Finale – “The Beginning of the End Parts One and Two” Recap. Things Will Never Be the Same.

To sum up the two-hour season five finale of Grimm, all I can say is it’s quite an emotional roller coaster. There’s action, mystery, intrigue, diabolical deeds, and heartbreak. Even so, I’m slightly disappointed in “The Beginning of the End, Part One and Part Two.” I am confused as to where the writers are trying to lead us. First, it was the Royals, now it’s Black Claw. I’m perplexed as to what we’re supposed to take away from all that’s happened in season five. What is buried beneath all the rubble of what the Grimm writers have put us through this season? I’m not saying this finale doesn’t have exciting moments filled with intense drama, especially the final scenes, but I need more than just a good dramatic fight scene. I need clarification of what the heck is going on in the minds of these writers. Am I the only one who thinks this way?
