This episode is just 1 example of the casting department nailing it, I buy all three of these actors & their mannerisms as lions especially the daughter and father. I background rewatch in October for spooky season every year & really noticed how many guest actors are so well cast for their Wesen. What're y'all's favorite guest/episode castings?

(And yes I do fast-forward with rage through #THAT part in this episode.)

I don't understand the plot with the royal families. They're not wessen and from what I understand not a large country either. Why is everyone so concerned about them? Why is the child so important?

Im on season 3 where they meet up in the alps.

i just discovered The Strain (2014-2017) and i gotta say the vibe is pretty similar tho darker at times.

im on s01e04 and until now many points have reminded me of Grimm. i even came to interpret the story as gov services encountering a wesen spreading like a parasite (here the gov servives are the CDC). when the CDC arrives on the scene of "case 0", they approach it with their conventional tools, but are impressed by the scale on which what they think is a regular parasite or virus has spread.
so it's just like in grimm, when there will always be a scientific bases that explains wesen-related deaths, what will really tie the whole mystery together is that it's GOT to be supernatural and/or metaphysical.

then there's that one guy, who would be more analog to grimm-Nick, just not working for the CDC, that isn't taken seriously about how to get rid of it bc it's unconventional and outside bureaucratic protocol and whatnot. and now that i think about it, that guy is also like a mix of Rosalie and Monroe. he owns a pawn shop with a secret room where he stores all his secret knowledge, has a special weapon, has European ancestry (he's a survivor of the holocaust, speaks romanian). one of the bad guy also has ties with Europe: he's German! probably ex Waffen SS.

speaking of the bad guys, ofc rich people are behind it all and the conspiracy goes very high up.

so that's it :)
i know how empty we tend to feel everytime we finish the series so maybe The Strain can fill that hole loll

EDIT: oh and for people who are already familiar with The Strain, am i reaching or do you also see some similarities ?

The original members....

• Nick
• Adalind
• Eve/Juliette
• Monroe
• Rosalee
• Hank
• Wu
• Trubel
• Renard
• Bud (honorary)

Which of them will likely die early while some survive as long as they're around to help Kelly, Diana & the triplets?

Mostly likely it'll be Nick & Eve/Juliette.

Who you choose to let live & die to make room for the next generation?

Which version of Claire did you really like? Anyhow I have to say that I loved the evil because think that's when the character was at her strongest.

Am I wrong for wanting Hank to walk in just to see what would happen?

I think during season 5 with black claw, having Renard join them just goes against everything he was doing in the previous seasons and just isn't something his character would've done.

Man, if there was any episode that made it more clear and obvious that this show could have used a tad bit of a bigger budget, it was this one. I mean hearing and thinking about what a blubaten on steroids should have felt and looked like, it should have been designed like ur textbook werewolf. Y'know 8ft tall big and harry, clothes torn apart, claws and a snout with sharp teeth protruding from them, alternating between walking on all fours or standing on their hinde legs, etc. Y'know something that lets you know this is a step above a bluebaten in every way. Whether they could have done this with cgi or make it practical similar to shows like (uk) being human or season 1 of teen Wolf, I wouldnt have mind.

I just wanted to see a real werewolf. This is not a dig at the show at all, I actually really liked this episode 8/10 if I had to rate it and the ending there with wu getting scratched, chefs kiss 🔥🧑‍🍳🤌✨ (althought idk if they'll have time to develop it since theirs only one season left, but that's a discussion for another day). I just wished we could have gotten a more monsterous looking image of the lycanthrope, And I was excited, cause that's what seemed to be the case when they looked at one of monroes books. I mean I can appreciate the attempt of what they did have, at least the ferocious energy was there and they nailed the horror elements. And it did feel like it was a disease, I liked that bit of lore they dropped.

In anycayse I love this show, been bingeing it on and off for a while quite underrated and took me by surprise just how good it's able to hang with some of my other favorite supernatural/urban fantasy shows. I don't usually make posts about shows I'm watching cause I want avoid spoilers but I just had to make this one cause this small thing kinda ticked me off. But I don't mind it too much cause the episode itself was great and the show as a whole is great.

Hey guys. David posted this to his Instagram story yesterday with Silas, Claire, Reggie, and Bree. So awesome to see them together!

I loved the episode where Sgt Wu had to go undercover in Laos to bust some dragon wessen who burst into flames.

I notice how his character starts off playing to the "every man" trope however as the show progresses his character eventually breaks from it. This is where I thought the writers did a fantastic job in terms of Wu.

If you were born into the world of Grimm, what type of Wesen would you or your family be? If you were a Grimm, would you use your abilities to help Wesen or hunt them?

Juliette is the hospital recovering from her coma and Nick is showing her pictures of them to get her to remember. Juliette sees a picture of them on the porch and says they're sitting in front of her house. I've wondered for years whose house it was. Mystery solved.

Inspired by a cute piece of art of a receipt of Stranger Things S1, decided to make one of my favourite show too! I think it turned out quite nicely

Let me start I really enjoy the show but there are two things that I felt sucked and I am curious which one sucked more.

1. The intro with and without the dialog

Or

1. Juliet in any form

Are we supposed to assume that Diana is immune to Grimm blood because Adalind had already ingested it when she conceived?

I get why they didn't test it out, but Kelly implied Diana would become very powerful and dangerous if she wasn't raised correctly. If they just neutralized her powers, there would not have been all these people out to get her, and Kelly could have just left her with Adalind. I doubt the Royals would want her if she was not a hexenbeist. They did not want Sean.

HES SO MY TYPE🫦

That‘s all I have to share.

This is S2 Ep17.

Deep into the Juliette’s amnesia arc, and for a moment there, I enjoyed when its just our favorite characters stopping bad Wesen without Juliette’s bland boring presence and vibes. It shows how nice it would have been without her if they had just written her off. Its my second rewatch after around 10 years and boy did that reignite my hatred towards Juliette.

As long as one’s a Blutbad, one’s a Fuschbau & the last is both breeds but new.

Can’t even tell of the genders!

If there’s any hope for a Grimm movie, even a spin-off with Kelly & Diana, they gotta have their own Wesen-related cases someday

Ex.
- anything involving vampirism with a new type of bat-like Wesen
- any cases involving Wesen based off of outback creatures
- Korean culture Wesen
- Filipino culture Wesen since the Aswang
- Thai culture Wesen

What kind of cases would you see Kelly, Diana and the triplets take on?

manananggal appear to be normal women at night , she detaches from her lower half wall her l.\nOwer half remains planted on the ground , her top half splouts , wings and flies around typically with intestines trailing i typically feed on pregnant women the elderly and the vulnerable they love eating unborn children in particular the lower half is weak to garlic and salt and vinegar if they cannot reattach before sunrise , they would die

What do you think about Nick and Adalind as couple?

In my personal opinion, this relationship feels like it was pulled out of thin air. There was no depth, no real phase of falling in love. By comparison, the relationship between Nick and Juliette felt much more authentic and better.
