So in retrospect, I think the most charitable explanation for Nick sleeping on the couch in season 2 is that they HAD a guestroom but it wasn’t really set up with a bed or anything. Like maybe they used it for storage or something. And after the shenanigans of season 2 they were like “well that sucked, let’s set up a guest room just in case!”

Nick does SO badly in season 2 and I can’t help but feel awful for him. Like. He has everything working against him and he does NOT handle it well at all. He isolates Juliette because the people she remembers from the last year who COULD give her answers can’t really be open with her in deference to him. He isn’t honest with her, which is understandable but also a tragic misstep on his part (and part of a pattern that persists). He’s both gone a lot and overeager and overbearing when he’s around. It’s all together too painful to watch.

I truly think one of the things that makes Grimm so engaging is how hard they go with “show not tell.” They really just have things happen and only rarely to they give you explanations and exposition. You see stuff in season 1 that doesn’t get spelled out until season THREE.

See, I wish we’d gotten to see Nick and Juliette fall in love again with her knowing the truth the whole time. If he’d told her everything when she came home from the hospital and then just been there, this could have all been so good. Imagine him cooking her favorite breakfast and working on a Grimm case with her. Imagine him going in for a cheek kiss out of habit and freezing, and she leans in and gives him one instead. Imagine them being real partners and friends and her memories coming back slowly, but now she both remembers that she loved him AND she falls in love all over again with the WHOLE truth of him. I want it!!

Honestly. The Grimm Season 2 opening is….something else, some piece of work. I am not a fan. Heavy late 90s movie trailer Voiceover vibes.

“This Summer…in theaters everywhere…in the city of Portland…One Grimm…One Bludbad…One Shady Prince…All Sacrasm. Get ready for…SHIRTLESS. RAGE.”
