How Adalind was pregnant for 9 months between season 2 episode 13 and season 3 episode 14, when two christmas' passed one off-screen in season 2, and one during season 3, and yet she still was pregnant is beyond me. Or are we to assume Juliet had no memory for 8 months, and the events of the second half of season 2 all take place almost a year after the halloween episode in season 2, to be closer to the christmas episode in season 3 in timeline.

lol does your head in. Ugh, yes, doing the math on all these extended breaks gives me a headache - it's either that or I'm turning into a Zauberbiest!! I've been trying to get the timeline straight on Adalind's pregnancy. The last episode of Season 3, when Adalind slept with Nick, aired last May. The first episdoe of Season 4 aired at the end of October and picked up on the same day as the Season 3 finale so, that's 5 months in real time that never happened on the show. And then you have all the various breaks including this latest hiatus. I don't even want to begin to go back and try to figure out those earlier timelines. At some point you just have to throw your hands and up give the writers the benefit of the doubt.

I blame it on the network. They keep imposing all these arbitrary delays which reeks havoc on the shows continuity. Season 2 was the worst, when they took their Fall Season break, said the show would be back in January, and then changed their mind and said the show wouldn't start up again unitl April, I think it was. That was insane! One of the writers got a little testy about this latest layoff. When it was announced, somebody wished them a happy vacation @GrimmWriters and the writer replied, saying something to the effect of, "Hey, we're still working, finishing up episodes, and the network is just letting them pile up on the shelf." Granted, they've promised to air the last eight shows uninterrupted but, I would lay odds on another unscheduled break in there somewhere.
