Episode Reviewed: Grimm: Tarantula

I was excited for this episode the minute i heard Amy Acker was guest starring. And it's not in the way you think. Well, okay, yes, she is pretty hot, but that was only part of it. For those of you who don't know, Grimm's creators (David Greenwalt, Jim Kouf, and Stephen Carpenter) are all Whedonverse alums. Acker has worked with the king's consultants before on Angel and Dollhouse. Apparently Joss isn't the only one who plays favorites with casting. Anyway, Acker plays a black widow spider-like creature who kills her mates after... well you get the idea. Naturally, Nick and the Portland PD are on the case. Nick also sends a message to the creatures, who we learn in this episode are called Vessin, after a few Vessin egg his house. This wasn't as good as last week's Organ Grinder, but i was still entertained, scared, and grossed-out, so it fuffilled all the requirments for an episode of Grimm. I'm starting to want more of the season's storyarc seeing how we've now only got two episodes left this season, but I get that it will come in good time. From what we do have so far and based on the trailers for episode twelve, the season finale should be pretty good. Good enough for NBC to order season 2, perhaps? Time will tell. In the mean time, we wait. Final Rating: 89%
