Well Grimmsters, Here It Is

The first Friday. The day when we have to finally face the facts. There is no new Grimm on the horizon.

I’m sad and yet content…it’s a weird feeling. I don’t think it really felt like it was over until today, when I was looking forward to a new episode before realizing there wouldn’t be one anymore.

As I’ve said before, I’ve been with this show from the beginning. I’ve watched through graduate school, two major relocations, and my first real job. It–and this blog–have been the jumpstart to my weekend since I was 23. Now I find myself looking at my Friday night with a big question mark. It’s not that I don’t have anything else to do, it’s just…become my routine. A little spot of consistency amidst a lot of change. And now that routine has to change, too.

But despite that change, I do want to let everyone who’s followed FYNB all this time–and the newcomers too!–that this blog is not going to go away. I’ve been talking with the other admins behind the scenes, and we still have a lot of ideas. Just speaking for myself, I have TONS of material–videos, images, plotbunnies, etc–that I haven’t posted yet, and I don’t plan to let any of it go to waste.

I can’t promise the blog will always be as active as it was for these six amazing years–unless JK and DG grace us with new material at some point in the future. But we’re not going silent any time soon.

I’ll be taking a short break to finish up my Masters degree, and then I’ll be back with a slew of hiatus content that I hope will help take the sting out of the prospect of a Grimm-less fall. In the meantime…keep it weird!

I am frustrated at the finale cause they neither showed us the triplets nor did we get a Monroe and Nick hug but it is still extremely good since I did not expect the happy ending farewell my beloved show 😭

Same! I was hoping to get to see their triplets. I’m considering doing a fan cast of them at some point.

But at the same time, I kind of understand. They had thirteen episodes to answer as many of the questions and tie up as many of the plotlines as possible, and there was no way they were going to be able to tell us everything, much less show us everything. So I’m really glad that, at the very least, we know that Monroe and Rosalee had their kids and that those kids grew up and remained close with Diana and Kelly. 

Can I ask- how did you feel about the last line Diana said in the finale? I felt like her saying “we have wesen to kill” kinda seemed like a disservice to the what the characters had gone through to prove that nothing is as black and white as Grimm vs. Wesen. I wish it was something more like “we have a war to fight” or something like that but maybe it’s just me…

It’s not just you. I agree with you. I wish they had found another line to give her that would have indicated they’re still fighting the good fight. I mean, they have three presumably-close friends who are Wesen. Technically, Diana is also Wesen, albeit very different from any others we’ve seen. Her parents are Wesen. One of Kelly’s parents is Wesen. Kelly actually has a chance of having a Wesen child one day, as does Diana potentially.

So having her say “we have Wesen to kill” and having Kelly be totally fine with that seems like a really messed-up line, and not at all in keeping with the themes of the rest of the show.

I mean, there are so many other options:

  • “We have a job to do.”
  • “We have work to do.”
  • “We have a case.”
  • “Time to fight the good fight.”

There are tons of lines that would have done a better job of conveying what they were trying to convey.

So now I realize that they basically told us how this was gonna go down in the “previously on Grimm” part of this ep.

Schrodinger’s reality.

Until Nick made his choice, both realities technically existed. Only when Nick made the choice to stand up to Zerstorer and fight him did the reality in which Zerstorer loses solidify and become The reality.

Which means if Nick had chosen to give in…he would have been trapped forever in that horrific reality where everyone he loved was dead.
