I always felt Nick and Juliette's relationship made sense, They had been together for years, got a house together, and they were a couple. I can't say the same for Adalind, especially since she despised Nick and vice versa. Regarding the rape, I can't see Nick feeling love for her after being so terribly duped. That was a horrible character avenue to pursue.
I think the problem with the whole Juliette losing her memory arc was with Nick himself, not Juliette. Nick is supposed to be the one who figures out how to solve the problem, not Juliette. It was more boring watching him whine around and act petty at Juliette, when it was his fault the whole thing occurred in the first place. If he had been up front with Juliette from the time he found out about wesen, there would have been no story of Juliette being robbed her her memories of Nick.
I would agree with that, if they hadn't immediately paired up Nick with Adalind.
@TamB .......No, I have only watched the series once. The discussions took place over at the Grimm forum and referenced several different story arcs. While I can't give you episodes, I can tell you about a couple of the discussions. One involved the wesen reaction to Grimms and vice versa, particularly Nick's reaction to hexenbiests. Another discussion involved Monroe and Rosalee's marriage.
@TamB....Respectfully, I disagree. I'm not for the amount of killing that Nick did during the run of the series. But, if the series is taking that route, then it is telling viewers that Nick's life is a very dangerous one. A wife and child just gives his enemies two more people to use against him, or worse yet, to kill in order to get their revenge against him.
Nick and Adalind. Pairing him up with her makes Nick look like a fool.
This is an interesting question. I think the series did have some issues with women, and I have read comments where posters felt it had some racial issues as well. You may have a point here.
Should Nick have ended up with anyone? Considering the turbulent life that Grimms lead, it doesn't make a lot of sense for them to bring a spouse and children into the mix.
I think their pairing makes Nick look a lot like a fool. No man would ever think about such a relationship with a woman who injured Nick, Juliette, Hank, and Wu. Even when there's a baby involved, I can't see any guy looking at such as woman with any more than contempt.
Ever since the possibility of a sequel (or spin-off) surfaced, I have seen all kinds of posts about it.
First, the recommendation was a continuation of the Nick/Adalind story. I actually thought the drama involving the characters got in the way of a potential spin off from day one. My thought is all that would be accomplished with a continuation would be more threads pitting Juliette versus Adalind.
Second, Trubel has been suggested for as a possibility of a female Grimm. I didn't really mind Trubel as a character in the series. The only issue I saw with her is that the creative team never really knew what to do with her. Putting her in the title role does not appeal to me. She never really had a strong screen presence in my opinion.
Third, a new actress in the title role, along with the suggestion of a black actress in the role. I actually find this a very interesting possibility. If this comes to pass, I sincerely hope the creative team does not fall into the pitfalls they made for themselves with the original series.
Fourth, Monroe's children, Diana, and young Kelly as wesen fighters. I see no hope for a series like this. This, to me, is another attempt to bring back the original and I just don't see the point. It also doesn't seem comfortable introducing wesen children into a series where they participate in killing wesen.
Fifth, a male actor in the role. This could result in an interesting story as well, again, as long as the creative team doesn't try to rope him into a relationship that will drag the entire series down.
Do you think a continuation of the original is just more of the same soap opera we saw before? Why or why not? Does a completely different actor or actress in the role appeal to you? Again, why or why not?
What about Diana, Kelly and the triplets? What is it about this combination that's appealing to you?
I think she's too smart for him, but she probably would be better than Adalind.
It's not ironic at all. I often don't vote in polls, which as you know and agree with, is my right. And as you also know, Nick's 42% lead when the entire vote tally is 19 votes comes down to 8 votes.
GrimmPower.....I know you mean well, but you don't need to explain to me that I should be voting. I feel you'll agree with me that there aren't that many votes if Nick is only getting 36%. Seems a little pointless,
Of this group, definitely Juliette. I'm very glad to see her included in this lineup.
Renard. Hands down the most interesting character of the series. In my opinion.
@Stuckeyb8 Are all wesen evil?
Sorry to have taken your topic off course here, Stuckeyb8. I wish these issues would just cease and we continue with discussing your subject, which by the way, contains a very good question. I have been giving it some thought and I have to say I honestly don't know.
Take the woge for example. The series never really defined what happens to a wesen when they woge. Do they go into a temporary insanity that disappears once they become human? Monroe's sense of smell is keen. In the pilot episode, he mentioned to Nick that he couldn't go any further with him because (paraphrasing) he couldn't guarantee he would be on Nick's side, the mailman's side, or go after the little girl himself.
Monroe knows there is an uncertainty to the woge, but makes the conscious decision to use it anyway. It was one of the two, Monroe or Rosalee, who stated that if a wesen woges too much, they can permanently become the thing they morph into. Does that happen after the 10,000th woge or can it happen after the 100th? Does the fact that a wesen deliberately woges and understands what it can do to him/her make them evil?
Like I said, I honestly don't know. On the other hand, the wesen is intentionally using something that makes him/her deliberately dangerous. How would a court of law view that?
You're so wrapped up in making everything about Nick that you don't get it do you? I'm telling you that my statement had nothing to do with Nick, but with Grimms in general.
There are no implications. Accept it for what I say and quit trying to add your own spin on it.
While I believe the diaries may, in fact, contain some exaggeration, there is no exaggeration in the fact the diaries do point toward the attitude that Grimms despise hexenbiests. So, if a hexenbiest were to enchant a Grimm and as a result, bear a child, the Grimm would have nothing to do with the child. In point of fact, since Grimms are killers, the hexenbiest would probably be murdered before she even knew she conceived a child.
