Grimm NEWS & General Discussion

[MasySyma]

The Rapunzel episode was well done. I hope they get renewed; we marathoned the episodes this weekend, and the show is well done. The characters are well written.

I wish the makeup were better, but I just quit watching Once upon a Time. It's soap opera is so tedious.

The Pied Piper episode is my favorite.

[Klenotka]

Well, they just got a full-season pick up (22 episodes, I think) so that´s a good way to renewal. It is doing really well, even in the ungrateful Friday evening.
I wanted to start watching Once Upon a Time but I read different opinions about it - somebody loves it, others think it´s not good

I started off watching OUAT but haven't gotten around to the last two eps, just hasn't held my interest as much as I'd hoped. Grimm on the other hand, just keeps getting better and better! I'm becoming a huge fan.

I'm still watching, but I hope they do more of a continuing story line, and a little less "monster of the week", which I think will get dull soon. I like the 3 guys (one of whom was the refrigerator repair guy from a previous episode) that were stalking our Grimm; that could be fun.

Loved Munroe (sp?) and his over-the-top Christmas decorations!

Loved the Christmas decorations too!

I think they've planned this show as a police procedural with supernatural elements so I'm assuming (I know ) that we are going to be seeing the monster of the week/case of the week format as standard for the show. With the larger story arc, whatever that is, being only a portion of each episode. I did like them bringing back the repairman (someone on another site called them refrigerbeavers ). Wonder what Renard's plans for Nick are and do like the buddy duo of Nick and Monroe.

OUAT seems more "arc" ish, I think. It's good too, in a slightly different way.

[Klenotka]

They can still be a cop drama and to have a story-arc, too. When you think about it, many shows that are called "story-arc" have stand-alone episodes, and deal with the story-arc in the background of the episodes - like Farscape, for example, or even Buffy - two writers of Buffy write for Grimm anyway. So I wouldn´t be surprised if thay stayed faithful to the "monster of the week" format with bigger story-arc going on in the background.
There is a big potential for those stories on Grimm - you have Captain Renard and his intentions (and there is also the question who he really is), those beaver guys, stalking Nick, will probably spread the word and it could bring more dangerous creatures to Nick. And then there is the developing "friendship" between Nick and Eddie. Grimm and a "monster". We already saw a reaction of Eddie´s exgirlfriend to Nick, so I guess we will see a reaction of other Grimms to Nick´s connections to Eddie as well.

But they need to work at Nick´s parnter Hank and his girlfriend because both of them are not very well used.
I would maybe even prefer if Nick went solo, and stayed in contact with Hank. That way, they could keep that "cop TV show with supernatural element" and still develop the story behind the police stuff.

[Ogler]

Did you all watch Ogre?

[Skydiver]

Yeah. It was very interesting.

[Callista]

I liked the ogre episode. It was nice that Hank and Juliet and even the Captain had more to do this time.

[Klenotka]

I liked Nick giving Monroe the key from his trailer. It was a proof that he really trusts him. It will be interesting to watch how this strange relationship develops. And how is Nick going to explain that he owns the gun that killed the Orge, if Han will keep searching.

[gotthammer]

somewhat related question:
I'm not familiar w/ 'elephant guns': so what's the use of the 3rd barrel that uses a seemingly much smaller calibre?
Pretty gun, tho'.

Oh, and great episode.

[Krisz]

Another good episode, that Ogre certainly was a nasty piece of work! Inventive idea to use an Elephant gun to bring him down due to his thick skin and bones. Much like the fast moving big game the British hunters used them for in Africa back in the days when shooting animals such as elephants and rhino was a socially acceptable pastime for the wealthy, as well as supplying the ivory trade! Isn't it sad that someone invented a weapon for this purpose alone?!

I'm tending to think that the third smaller caliber bullet was a dramatic addition to what is a specialised 'Grimm' weapon and elephant guns were double barreled. Perhaps the two larger caliber bullets brought the prey down, the third to finish the animal off at close range if it was still alive, presuming this configuration is real and not fictional. I don't know anything about guns, but it is a weird thing and would be interesting to know if such a configuration really exists and what the small bullet's purpose was!

Monroe was pretty handy with the gun, interesting that he knew how to shoot so accurately to hit the Ogre and deliver the poison!

I wondered when the reality of what Nick does for a job starts to impact on his home life. It was inevitable that he would be injured and his girlfriend threatened in their home. Now it will be interesting to see what he does, I wonder if he'll ever tell her and will she stand by him if he does.

This show is entertaining in many ways. I really like how the supernatural creatures and their murderous or unlawful activities are explained as 'normal' cases to be investigated by the cops. It manages to work on both levels as a supernatural drama and cop show really well.

[Skydiver]

I think also the fact that the police chief is a creature too has something to do with it. Don't know if he's been revealed, or is just definitely sympathetic or what he is, but he's no normal human.

Yup. I just hope they don't make him out to be a straight out 'bad guy' (shades of grey being more interesting and all that).

re: the gun
re: sad
well, I dunno. Aren't we, as a species, 'predatory' to begin with? I personally don't see anything wrong w/ hunting (unless it's excessive), whether for food or sport.

re: 3rd barrel thingy (after a wee bit more searching )
If the guy who commented on the official site (in the flash thingy showing the trailer home and the gun itself) is right, then the gun is probably a modified version of this:

In any case, pretty gun.

His name means "fox" in French, right? I think it said Captain Renard on the door. So, maybe he's like the fox in the fox and the wolf tale or something like that. Foxes are usually really sneaky and tricky in fairy tales so maybe the captain is knowingly using Nick to get the other wolves and creatures for his (the Captain's) own purposes. Has Ed met the Captain yet?
