That is always great to hear, and great point about the characters of this show.

One question; was it ever established that the stick that Nick and Monroe found in Gernany came from Christ's cross? That's been my theory; I've been waiting for that explanation to come out but it hasn't yet. Magical powers are attributed to the stick, but so are attributes like destruction and hazardous. Anybody have an idea where we're going with the explanation for the stick and its powers?

It has not yet been established what the stick exactly is or where it came from, but there have definitely been hints, such as when the observation was made that it looked like it broke off of something. Renard told Nick back in season 2 that one rumor of what the Knights Templar hid was that it was the nails used in the crucifixion of Jesus, along with possibly even some pieces of the cross itself. The stick having come from the cross is probably the most popular theory out there right now, and I wouldn't be surprised if that ends up being revealed this upcoming season.

However, what I'm most concerned about next season is the dangerous, perilous aspect(s) of the stick. We've seen a little bit of how powerful it is already but haven't yet seen why it's dangerous, and I think we are going to get a lot more of that next season. Will there be severe consequences for Nick having used it on Eve and on himself? Some serious, game-changing plot lines have emerged on this show from unintended consequences of trying to do something good, and I have a feeling there might be more of that in store for season 6. Perhaps the stick ends up being destroyed or hidden once again this season; and if the Royals or Black Claw get wind of what Nick and Monroe found, perhaps we see a return of the Reapers and the Verrat. There's a lot of different ways this could play out!
