@Grimmster 68.40.175.6   I could have sworn there had been an official spoiler concerning the coming of an “evil” Grimm. Might have just been speculation on another one of these forums though. I’d claim early onset dementia except that in my case there would be nothing early about it.  :)

In any case, I agree completely that a Grimm with a not so benign agenda would be a fascinating addition to the story. The Grimms were part of an old world order after all. Surely not all of them are as enlightened and egalitarian as the Burkhardts. The new Grimm wouldn’t necessarily have to be a bloodthirsty opportunist or a narrow minded right-wing traditionalist. I would prefer more of a tragic figure. Maybe an individual who truly believes that the world needs order and is willing to betray his/her own kind for what they feel is the greater good. A sort of Judas Grimm.

I disagree completely about Juliette. I think her story is the classic tale of the layman become conquering hero and I think the writers are developing this very well. There has to be a better analogy but, I think her story is more Lord of the Rings than Days of Our Lives. The ring of power has fallen into her reluctant hands and she must learn how to wield it. Except that she has no guiding mentor to direct her actions. At this point it’s almost entirely up to her own discretion to decide what end she pursues. If I had to hazard a guess I would say she will come close to edge of the abyss – possibly by almost killing an innocent as has been suggested or perhaps by taking the law into her own hands and ruthlessly murdering someone like the abusive ex-husband of her friend Alicia. I’m betting the writers will have her pull back from the edge in some dramatic epiphany but at this point there’s really no way to know. She could go completely dark, destroying all in her path before being vanquished herself.

I do agree that Adalind’s character needs some fresh direction. She really seems to be going around in circles, always falling under the influence of whatever self-serving entity happens to think she might be useful at the moment. It’s been entertaining in a comic-tragic sort of way since she clearly longs to be a major force for evil but in the end always just sets herself up to be another patsy. Something’s gotta give though unless they just plan on killing her off.

Well, at least we’ll start to get some answers soon. This layoff has been murder!
