I made another post about it the other night but not sure what happened to it. But I know a lot of people liked Juliette and hated what the show ended up doing to her. To me personally, I actually hadn't been able to stand her from the very first episode. But then by no fault of her own she gets even more damn annoying. But then, a bright light. She actually becomes decently tolerable. And if it wasn't for her, they wouldn't have been able to solve it fix quite a few situations. Even though I still wasn't a fan of her, I gave her massive credit for that.
Then her character just goes entirely off the deep end and makes her truly hatable, after making her decent. Literally to the point that it makes me upset for a character I don't even like to begin with. Not because of the reason I see some people try to stay though. I see a lot of people claim it was bad writing for them to do that with her. But truthfully it wasn't out of nowhere. All they did was take all of her already bad qualities that I couldn't stand her for, and amplified them. I'm upset by the fact that they only gave her the short time frame of being helpful and mostly likeable. And then it goes back to her having to be so unlikable to be helpful.
Rewatching the series just now, I realized that I don’t get what the whole Nick-and-Adeline-see-through-each-other’s-eyes was about. Did this ever get explained in the show and I missed it, or is it one of the (maybe) loose ends like Nick going grey after his zombie phase? TIA!
Like the title implies, I’d like to hear your random nonsense that you’ve noticed while watching Grimm. I already posted one about how the trailer has electric lights. That was an enlightening discussion. Next thing I’m thinking of is waking Juliette from the coma. At one point, Adalind’s mother says the person who wakes her has to be pure of heart. She makes Renard go through the process to wake her. My first thought is “couldn’t they have Nick do it?”. There’s a rabbit hole there, but my question is : what random details bug y’all?
thats it. thats the post.
This is completely inconsequential but i was just wondering. The trailer has electric lights. How do ya figure it’s powered? Like a car battery would work but a trailer doesn’t have an alternator to charge the battery. What’s your theory ?
In season 2 episode 6 “Over my dead body”, near the end of the episode Nick is fighting the Konigschlange, and its woged, which I assumed was full on woge, but then Hank Comes in and shoots it before it can kill Nick, and then as it dies it woges back and Hank looks at Nick and asked if it was Wesen?
How could he not of seen it? It should of been in full woge right?
Não sei vocês, mas eu não gosto muito do Hank. Desde antes dele não saber das coisas. Aqueles episódios que ele está sob feitiço de Adalind eu deixava de gostar dele mais ainda. Eu sei que ele estava enfeitiçado mas não vou com a cara dele e acho que ele atrapalha um pouco o Nick depois que descobriu a verdade. Porque quando eles chegam para interrogar as pessoas ele fica com aquela cara olhando pra pessoa e pro Nick, daí se for um wesen já desconfia e descobre na hora o que Nick é, o que deixa ele sem essa vantagem que ele tinha sobre os wensen.
So I’ve been Re watching Season 1, and I’m wondering if their original idea was to always have only one version of the woge originally.
Like only a version that Grimm and Wesen can see, because there are certain instances where Wesen are woging in circumstances that other people should be able to see them.
And even the premise of the show of how he can see what no one else can. not that I’m complaining., but it’s interesting how much they changed course as it became more popular
So im rewatching the show and it's starting to bug me that Captain Renard is only half Zauberbiest. i dont remember them explaining this and the answer on google seems flawed as it says his mother is human. but shes not human she is a Hexenbiest and his father is a Wesen as well and when they explain how hybrids work on the show they seem to directly say that the dominant gene wins and the kid will get the power from the more powerful parent. but Sean is only half and to me it makes no sense. im midway through season 6 and weve only seen one of his parents Woge at this point to my recollection and as his dad is dead id imagine it will remain that way. so did his mother become a Hexenbiest after he was born and i dont remember it being mentioned? and if so wouldn't the Wesen gene still dominate the hell out of the human one and still make him full Zauberbiest? that was the case with literally every other kid we saw that only had one Wesen parent during the series. so please is there anyone who is far nerdier in this fandom than me that can offer me any explanation as to his lineage it is driving me nuts and i cant wait for the reboot for a proper answer.
There is a YouTube video of the actors auditioning for various roles. Nick, Juliette, Monroe, and Hank.
https://youtu.be/m-Hqr4xpsi8?si=SFePTClCHGVcaao8
Silas Weir Mitchell absolutely nailed his audition! You guys are going to LOVE IT! I was literally laughing out loud.
David and Bitsie play off each other in an unused, draft scene in Aunt Marie's trailer where Nick is trying to convince Juliette that he's a Grimm and she's doesn't believe him.
Odd thing, the way Juliette was written then has her being much more gentle, sweetly concerned, and nice to Nick after his announcement. In the version that aired, she's more freaked out and aggressively annoyed or fearful. They changed the character, I think.
Russell Hornsby looks so young here! He did a good job in his scene, too. It's from the Pilot where Nick puts Wolfsbane all over him, per Monroe's instructions, on their way to the postman's cottage.
Fun fact: Reggie Lee originally auditioned for the role of Hank. He obviously didn't get it (and I don't think he would have been a good fit for the role) but Reggie was so good in his audition that the producers created the role of snarky Wu just for Reggie.
Did we ever come back to the toad guy? The way the episode ended, made it seem like he might not be down and out just yet? Im rewatching so I might come across and answer, but was curious if anyone knew?
I bet half of the Portland PD's budget is used on bullets for Nick.
"Hey Nick, how many people did you kill today?"
I’ve always been bothered by 4 things from the Twelve Days of Krampus episode:
The speed with which Monroe & Juliette decorate the house
The speed Monroe has to remove the decorations
The super-speed Rosalee has in putting it all back, by herself (even if Juliette helped it’s an amazing feat)
The reason Rosalee hated Christmas. Ok so I can understand being traumatized about losing loved ones at the holidays but it feels like an older age, 12, maybe, would’ve made more sense, to me.
That’s all.
Mine is the lady in S6 E5 that ripped the cicada guys head off. It was DIABOLICAL that they made her a hippo, but she slayed. Literally.
English is not my first language, sorry.
In my opinion, Nick and Adalind have the most secure relationship ever.
We know they hated each other first because Adalind tried to kill Nick’s aunt. At that time, she worked for Renard. It was just her job.
When they met each other for the first time, they were both attracted to each other. Nick literally fell for her beauty while he was buying an engagement ring. Adalind is his type of woman. But circumstances decided otherwise.
Even when Adalind was evil and bad to Nick, he never tried to kill her. Somehow, he cared for her.
Initially, Nick wanted fo fix Juliette to have a normal life with her. Adalind just asked for some help but she never actually wanted to live with Nick for their baby. She made the suppressor for Juliette.
Unfortunately, Nick lost Juliette, lost temporarily Trubel and lost brutally his mother. At that time, he was very lost and depressed. He could kill himself but the only motivation for him to live is his son Kelly.
So he decided to live with the mother of his son just to ease the situation. He works and in exchange, Adalind takes care of Kelly. I think at that time Nick thought that was a temporary situation.
Nick became cold, unexpressed and less sensitive as well. He is afraid to share his feelings because of his traumas. Concerning Adalind, she is grateful to Nick. He offered her protection and stability while he was not forced to do so.
Adalind made the situation simple because she put her anger towards Nick down. She never complains. She never gives any orders when she lives with Nick. She adapts herself and she respects his personal space and boundaries. She is never too much. She doesn’t control the situation. She takes decisions with him. She asks him automatically before acting. (Ex: she warned Nick about Meisner). She doesn’t abuse of Nick’s kindness (she doesn’t spend his money for clothes or others). She is self-sufficient.
Adalind doesn’t force anything. She never forces any conversation with him. They work together as a team. She tried to know more about Nick: she asked him questions about his life (his mother was a good cook, how long he lived in the house with Juliette, his work…) but she knows when to stop if the situation is weird or embarrassing (ex: when she said “it’s sound domestic”).
Nick discovers Adalind’s true self without any makeup or luxury as well. He discovered an intelligent and sweet woman. (The day he admired her after talking about a crime case). She listens to him. She cares for him and she is worried about him. She is not self-centered. She loves Kelly so much (the day where Nick mentioned to Monroe how great Adalind is as a mom). She makes her feelings obvious and she doesn’t have any problems to show her emotions. She is direct and honest with him. She can disagree without making a scene or a drama. She communicates well. She supports Nick. She accepts him as a Grimm. And she makes the first step.
Nick’s love language is act of service. Adalind’s love language is kind words. They both share the physical contact as a love language.
Nick and Adalind thought a lot of a potential relationship (they confirmed it after their first kiss) but they never rushed it. They took their time and never romanticize anything.
For some people, Nick seems to be cold. We don’t really know if he truly loves Adalind or not. But Adalind never doubts it. She knows that he loves her. She doesn’t need any kind words. She understands his love language. She is not jealous of Eve. Nick hugs her a lot to reassure her when she is worried. He kisses her. He notices when Adalind is worried (ex: “you are quiet tonight” or the deleted scene where Nick asks “are you okay?”).
Nick never doubts Adalind’s loyalty even when she left the loft for Renard’s house. He trusts her. He confirmed it when he talked with Trubel (“you believe her? - “Yeah, she said she loved me”).
Nick never forced Adalind to talk about her powers. She was scared and he let her time to open up.
Rosalee and Monroe judged Adalind when she appeared on the TV after Renard’s election. Nick never did. He knew she did it for a good reason.
They don’t argue much. They can have difficult conversations in a calm way. Their relationship seems to be so calm and boring but actually true healthy relationship are calm without any drama. They don’t need any sparkles or butterflies in their stomach. True love is not like drama with extreme passion or whatever. Adalind fell hard for Nick because he is the only who treats her right. He never used her. Nick found peace with Adalind: she is the woman who accepts him. She understands him (his reaction and love language).
They have plenty of physical contact moments and have an active sexual life. In the hotel for Monroe’s birthday, Nick claimed for Adalind.
In many situations, Nick was so proud of Adalind. He wants to prove to the world she is his (“over a Hexenbiest. Pretty, blond, about this tall […]“ with Tony / “Adalind, she didn’t turn me down“ / “Adalind comes with me“).
I am only on episode 5 but I really like the show but am kind of glad that I didn’t get swept in it until now since I was just starting college when this show first aired. However, I enjoy seeing all of these cast members (mostly bit players) that I know from other shows like Judith Hoag (the mom from Halloweentown) whose daughter used to date a reinigen boy and Patrick Fischler (Author in Once Upon a Time) who was the Ziegevolk. But what I really like is the way they handle the lore so far! Some of them sound like they could be real legends, but I am sure at least a couple are the minds of the writers. Can’t wait to get through more of this show!
So I’ve been, like most of us probably, thinking non stop about how Grimm is coming back! So excited.
I have been thinking a lot about what it could be about. The article talks about how it will please fans of the original, but also welcome in new viewers. At first I thought that meant that it would just be a new Grimm with a few OG characters showing up, but not anymore.
I now believe it will be a prequel. Because what better way to introduce new viewers to the concept, and keep original fans happy then to show something that was mentioned in the past.
For example, The Seven Knights, or around the time the Brothers Grimm wrote the fairy tales, or and the one I think they will go for, the story of the original Grimm. How he or she came to be? How they found and fought the first wesen.
It was a story teased in the series finale, and with the original creators on board, I feel like for a two hour movie, this would be an ideal story. And they could use it to show some old legendary Wesen that the first Grimm maybe didn’t defeat, but trapped, and set up that Wesen returning for the next project after. One where Nick and the scooby gang could return!
Those are my thoughts at least lol. What do you guys think?
i’m curious to know how you guys would rank the 6 seasons of the show from best to worst, mainly based on plot but really just based on however you view the seasons in general. (sorry if this has been posted before!) my ranking at the moment would probably be:
i’ve always personally felt like the first 3 seasons were the best and the last 3 just went downhill. imo when everything went down with juliette that’s when it went to hell, but i know some people don’t like her and i may be alone in despising that storyline but anyway. i also wasn’t a fan of the black claw and zerstorer storylines overall, but i do like that they added in that variety and some new layers to the world. i think i just really loved the first 3 seasons the most because i liked the simplicity and comfort of watching them focus on cases and fighting wesen together and i didn’t like them bringing in all the complex storylines and betrayal later on. it just almost felt like they strayed from the core of the show that i enjoyed so much, and i can’t really explain why it felt so different but it just did. however, i still genuinely loved every season and i can’t even count how many times i’ve watched the show since i first found it in 2014, and i’m currently doing my first rewatch of the new year and feeling all the same feelings of this just seriously being my #1 comfort show. i’d love to hear if anyone feels differently about any of this though (or if you agree!) sorry this is so long i just started ranting lol
Remember in the earlier episodes, when Nick was getting his powers back, he would occasionally "turn gray" when he was feeling especially murderous towards Wesen?
It seemed to indicate something serious was building, some deeper revelation about Nick and his Grimm-ness.
But then it just stopped. Did I misinterpret it? Was it just about his powers returning and then it was done? Or is this a plot point that the writers dropped?
It’s been a while since I’ve watched, but I was thinking about the show recently and the name Grimm.
All Grimms are descendants from the first Grimm, but when did they start using the name Grimm? Did they take it from The Brother Grimm, and were the brothers Grimms in the show? They talk about their fairytales, so if they were Grimms then wouldnt they get in trouble for writing about the Wesen to the public?
