Some Grimmstagrams from the cast’s last days of filming to break our hearts. 😢

He still has a thing for Juliette. He can’t stop loving that woman! So we’ll have some fun with Nick carrying a secret flame.

That moment when David Giuntoli is the captain of the Silverhardt ship.

So Grimmsters:

Following Bitsie’s twitter reply to a fan saying anyone wanting to get herself and David wedding gifts should donate to the ACLU instead….maybe we could do a fandom-wide massive number of donations in their honor all on the same day? Maybe Christmas or New Year’s Eve? What do y’all think?

Do you know where I can watch the Grimm comic con panel 2016? Thanks

Hi anon! I waited a bit to answer this, hoping some more videos would crop up online. But thus far, the only thing I’ve been able to find is this Fandango interview with the cast during/before Comic-Con.

If anyone else knows where we might find a video of the panel, please drop a line in fanmail, the ask box, or submissions and let us know!

Sorry to bother you, I just wanted to ask you if you thought there was a chance, even a tiny one, for Nick & Juliette to get back together after all the mess that happened in S4/S5? I’m asking because both David & Bitsie confused me at SDCC, they both had different opinions about Eve’s situation. David was all about Nick & Juliette, even when the question wasn’t about them, he was talking about how things will change if Juliette is back, long story short: he was shipping it like he always do 1/2

But then, you have Bitsie, who was pretty cold about anything related to their relationship (my guess is because of all the bullying she’s been through, but I won’t elaborate on that), so idk who to believe, David or Bitsie lol? Which is why I wanted you opinion and what you think could possibly happen? Like I said, I’m personally confused, especially because sometimes, what David says is more wishful thinking than legit tiny spoilers so… 2/2

Hi Anon! Admin Liza here. So as a general rule, there are three important things you need to remember about anything that is said by members of the Grimm cast, crew, writers, etc during summer hiatus, and that includes SDCC:

1. They are contractually forbidden from revealing any real information about the next season.

2. They probably don’t even know everything yet themselves, because they haven’t finished writing the episodes, much less filming them.

3. They are lying liars who lie.

So if you’re feeling confused about the information and demeanor of the actors surrounding particular plot points, it’s probably because they’re trying to keep us confused and guessing. And, yes, they probably all have their own ideas about where they’d like things to go. Because let’s face it: they’re all fans of the show, too. They watch it together and they’re invested in these characters and their story.

So I can understand David wanting his ship back together, and I can understand Bitsie wanting Juliette/Eve’s character arc to soar on its own, and not get buried in a romantic subplot. Silverhardt are cute as hell and we love them, but Bitsie didn’t have a whole hell of a lot to do as Juliette in the majority of episodes before their relationship’s tumultuous end. And with a possible series finale looming at the end of just thirteen episodes, it’s unlikely there would be time to address and resolve Juliette’s journey as a character fully and deal with the question of Silverhardt’s relationship status. So I can see why she’d be a little cold toward the idea of trying to go there.

Still…you never know! Maybe the writers will pull it off somehow. Maybe they’ll surprise us with something none of us have thought of. Wouldn’t be the first time! Or maybe the ratings will be good enough to convince the network to order more episodes, and this won’t be the end after all…I mean, no one ever thought Grimm would get a season two, let alone a season six, so anything is possible!

Ok this question is just in the line of my another colleage anon, about have Bitsie and some GrimmWriters blocking to their fans . Ok i don´t have instagram, and i rarely interact in twitter and never in facebook, i don´t like make that. But i think that is quite inadvisable to declare war on your audience don´t you think? some ppl were blocked basically for say that Bitsie ” is not a good actress” since when a Show is not opened to all type of reviews? a show is made for that precisely not?

Well no, anon, I don’t think. I don’t think blocking rude people is even remotely comparable to “declaring war on your audience,” for one thing. For another, as I said in my previous post, I have never once seen a Grimm fan get blocked for respectful criticism, questions, and/or discussion.

Now assuming any of the claims of blocking being made are true–seeing as no one has bothered to provide any source for these accusations–showing up on someone’s personal instagram and saying they’re no good is not a “review.” It’s basically like knocking on someone’s front door and being like “you suck.” And the kind of comment you reference here is way at the lower end of the kind of bullshit Bitsie Tulloch gets daily on her instagram account, so it’s not even that relevant an example.

There’s no good reason for that kind of comment. It’s plain and simple meanness with no other purpose. People who post that kind of thing aren’t improving the show, they’re definitely not making the cast, crew, and writers want to interact with fans or listen to them more, and they’re not improving anyone’s performance. It’s useless, unnecessary rudeness, and exactly the kind of comment that should get people blocked.

Now, this is the last thing I’m going to say about this topic, although if other admins want to chime in they’re welcome to:

I’ve had a few fan experiences–in different fandoms, and one as recently as last night–over the years, and there are always fans in every fandom who have weird ideas about what they’re owed for watching, or listening, or reading, or buying. Frankly, it’s embarrassing and I’m tired of it. It’s a large part of the reason I typically opt NOT to meet or interact with the people who create the things I love even when the opportunity presents itself: I don’t want to be grouped in their minds with the kind of bratty, petty people who assume they’re owed more just for liking something.

So I feel pretty strongly that audience members who get all up in arms about what the creators owe their fans need to remember two things:

The people who make our entertainment don’t owe us a goddamn thing, interaction-wise. They make a thing, we support it, they keep making the thing…and that’s it. That’s all they owe. The fact that they interact with us beyond the product they make is not an obligation, but a gift. It’s something they choose to do. And if they choose to stop interacting with certain people who take advantage of that to be needlessly rude, they have every right to do so.
These are actual living, breathing people and those people have just as much right to their feelings as anyone else. If they don’t want to deal with negativity in their online spaces, especially the kind that’s pure vitriol and serves no actual purpose, then they don’t have to. And that doesn’t make them bad at their jobs or interfere with the “purpose” of their show.

Is is true that Bitsie and the Grimm social media accounts have started blocking people and deleting comments?

I have no idea whether this is true or not, but let me just say that having followed Bitsie on instagram for a while, if she did start blocking some of the incredibly rude people who post on her social media I would not blame her one tiny bit. And the same goes for the Grimm social media and the Grimm writers.

I love the Grimm cast, crew, and writers. They haven’t always made narrative decisions I agree with, but they have always had an amazing amount of openness, interaction, and dialogue with their fanbase. I–and other admins on this blog–have been very openly critical of some of their choices in the show’s direction in the past, and I’ve never been blocked. Nor, to my knowledge, has any other admin here.

In fact, the people who make Grimm have been one of the most giving toward fandom I’ve seen, surpassed only by the cast of Supernatural in the sheer amount of sharing they do with the fanbase. Even though certain members of this fanbase have occasionally crossed the line, particularly when it comes to sending Bitsie hateful messages.

They don’t owe us that level of interaction, and there are occasionally good reasons to block fans. So if it’s true that the Grimm social media accounts and/or Bitsie have begun blocking people and deleting their comments, they probably had a very good reason and, given what I’ve seen directed toward Bitsie in particular, it’s about damn time.

Do you read Grimm spoilers? Like, press releases for upcoming episodes?

Hi anon, Liza here. I do occasionally do a search for Grimm press releases, promo trailers, and interviews, but I actually don’t put that much stock in what I find there, beyond a bit of fun speculation. And here’s why:

If I’ve learned anything over the last five years it’s that press releases, promos, and interviews lie. The press release will give you just the barest outline of the next episode’s details, enough to get you interested. The promos will overdramatize something, taking different snippets of scenes and putting them together out of context to make things look more dire than they really are (like when they made it look like Nick was totes going to try to kill Juliette last season the second he found out her secret).

And the Grimm writers, cast, and crew are notorious trolls when it comes to teasing things in interviews that may never happen, or shooting down ideas that are going to happen as ridiculous.

I’ve actually seen a few posts and things around tumblr expressing frustration and hurt at this practice, but really…what do people expect? That they’ll tell us the whole plot before we’ve even seen the show? No, they won’t do that. Moreover, in the actors’ case, they can’t. They probably have very strict guidelines for what they can tell us and how they can phrase certain things, and keeping to those guidelines is just part of their job.

TL’DR? Yes I do occasionally look up spoilery stuff, but I don’t put a ton of stock in it, and I try not to get too worked up until I’ve actually seen the episode.
