Alas, this coming weekend brings no "Once Upon A Time" (giving all of us Belle/Rumpelstiltskin shippers an extra week to form theories/catch up on the wonderful fic lighting up the internet/actually talk to our families....)
However, fairyland isn't gone from TV all together:
Friday Grimm is back. Is it just me or does it seem like this show is only on every other week? I'm not *as* excited about the "creature fight club" premise that is coming up, if only because I haven't figured out what fairy tale the episode is going to be playing with. However, I am happy to have my favorite Pilates-werewolf back.
This Saturday the Syfy channel is doing a fairy tale marathon with "Witchslayer Gretl" and "Black Forest" making their debuts. (Well, my DVR says that "Black Forest" was shown last month, but I never heard about it, so it is new to me!) I'm most excited about "Black Forest" which reportedly deals with tourists and the Fairy Tale Route in Germany. I'm hoping for some pretty scenery. You can also catch "Red:Werewolf Hunter" Saturday as well. Syfy channel movies don't tend to be high art, but are often good for some lazy weekend fun.

This show is always so much fun--I really enjoy the lighthearted tone this series normally keeps and the Castle character has so much joy and glee in him.
TLB gave us a bit more sleep last night--I think she had been in the midst of a growth spurt and was just getting hungry every couple of hours and needing to eat more. She's been giving her hands some serious study the past few days, which means she hasn't been working on her sounds as much. I'm hoping she gets back to "talking" as she was getting sooo close to being able to say "hello." Right now she is a bit sounds a bit like a very excited version of the little blue worm in Labyrinth--" 'el-looooo!!"
