Grimm Sneak Peak: 5×21-22, “The Beginning of the End, Parts 1 & 2.″

And here we have three very important photos of…Eve? I mean, the first one is very definitely Eve, but in the second one she appears to be showing a face we’ve never seen before. Is the change in her woge meaningful, or should we just chalk it up to Grimm’s sometimes-inconsistent SFX department?

Oh, and let’s talk about that third photo, shall we? Does anyone else see that very un-Eve-like expression, the lack of a wig, the trusting way she’s leaning toward Monroe in a way Eve never has and probably never would? Someone come yell with me about how Juliette she is in that last photo!!

Grimm Sneak Peak: 5×21-22, “The Beginning of the End, Parts 1 & 2″

It looks like some bad stuff is going down in HW HQ for sure, a full-scale Black Claw invasion of the previously-hidden base. Also, Hank is looking a little the worse for wear in that last photo. Could using Zuri to find HW’s location be the strategic move against Hank we’ve heard so much about, or is there more badness in store?

GRIMM PRODUCER SETS OUT TO ‘DO SOME GOOD’

Kurt Vile & The Violators are one of the hottest bands around with their old-soul, acoustic sound and lyrics that are all “air, weightless, bodyless, but grounded in convincing authenticity, in the best version of singer songwriter upcycling,” according to fellow musician Kim Gordon, of Sonic Youth.

Fresh off the Sasquatch Music Festival in the Gorge this month, Kurt Vile is coming to Portland to play an intimate concert for 800 at Revolution Hall. Hearts are throbbing.

The admission?

Free. You’ve just got to do some good.

Specifically — anyone who does three hours of community service with a local nonprofit can earn his or her way into the concert, thanks to a new Portland-based movement called Wave PDX.

Led by “Grimm” consulting producer Steve Oster, who’s lived in Portland since 1999, it’s intended as a way to bring a social element, and fun, to community service work — to make it a celebration with a big payoff.

Just last Thursday, dozens of young people met at the Rebuilding Center on North Mississippi Street to put in a few service hours, fueled by energy from a live DJ and a trip to a brewpub afterward. They logged their hours into the Wave PDX website (http://www.WavePDX.org), which tracks their hours for the Kurt Vile concert and other events.

Interested? Oster answered some questions for the Tribune about how this all works:

GRIMM PRODUCER SETS OUT TO ‘DO SOME GOOD’

What do you mean by not liiking the tone of this season?

fuckyeahnickburkhardt:

Well, I can’t tell you for certain what the anon meant when they asked that question, but I can give you a short list of the things about this season I haven’t liked at all, which have worked together to contribute to the problem:

  • the forced development of a romance that makes no sense between Nick and Adalind.
  • the “hexenbiests and zauberbiests can’t help being bad” thing that is the only explanation they’ve given so far for why Team Grimm (and the audience) should forgive Adalind or why Sean is acting so OOC.
  • Sean being completely out of character, while we’re at it, and the show giving no decent explanation for the sudden change.
  • years of character development for Sean and relationship development between him and the rest of Team Grimm thrown out the window.
  • everyone blaming Juliette for what happened to her while never taking responsibility for their part in it (except Rosalee, god bless Rosalee).
  • Adalind getting tons of understanding, support, and the benefit of the doubt from Team Grimm while having done nothing to earn any of it (and in fact having a history that suggests she shouldn’t be given any of those things).
  • Adalind’s entire character and her arc being scrapped with a retcon that waters her down and robs her of nearly all agency (not to mention makes no sense in the context of the rest of the show).
  • the show abandoning several important themes that have always been at the heart of it (the power of choice over nature, for example).
  • Bud Wurstner being nowhere to be found.
  • the lack of trust between the members of Team Grimm (because I absolutely consider Sean a member of Team Grimm); the split and messed up and uncertain loyalties between people who were toasting to their friendship after risking everything to save one of their own barely more than a year ago.
  • the general “sea change without satisfactory explanation” that has been enacted on so many characters, relationships, and world dynamics.
  • the show’s continued inability/unwillingness to acknowledge that men can be victims of rape.

Just to name a few. I’m still hoping the Grimm Writers will pull through in the eleventh hour, but even if they do, some of this will seem just completely unnecessary.

And the really sad thing is, I think they’re doing most of this to try and make the show seem darker. Yet overall, the show is not really any darker than it’s ever been. Just murkier. Nothing makes sense, and not necessarily in a way that feels intentional.
