You know. In retrospect this was a cruelly prophetic drinking game for the 5th season finale in particular.

What’s the 20 year gap and trailer you spoke of in the Grimm spinoff post? Did I miss the spinoff already having a trailer!?

Ha, no. Sadly…no.

I was talking about the epilogue at the end of the Grimm series finale. It’s set 20 years after the last scene we see of Nick and Team Grimm, and takes place in a new trailer similar to the one Aunt Marie had. Thus “20 year gap” and “trailer epilogue.”

Sorry if my wording confused people!

I’m confused by the fandom’s reaction to Renard…. If you don’t know why well go back and rewatch Grimm up until Renard joins team Grimm. We are finally seeing his true colors in all their glory: a cowardly, amoral, power hungry jerk who was only on the team because they were useful to him. Which is something I knew since the beginning and I’m usually awful at predicting shows as twisty as grimm can be.

Hi There Anon – Admin Liz here. I think the reaction comes from a feeling of betrayal. At least it does for me. While it’s always been clear that he’s been out for himself, he still had people who he seemed to care about (or at the very least trust and respect). He betrayed all of those people in this season. 

Also, I’ve never considered him a pawn – he’s always had a lot of strength and confidence, especially in his power as person, half-Royal, and half-Zauberbiest. In this year’s finale specifically, he seemed to lose all dignity he previously had and just let Boneparte play him, and the people he had worked with the last four years (more with Nick, Hank, Wu, Meisner, and Adalind). 

I, personally, have no real issue with him going full dark side. I don’t even really have a problem with him betraying Team Grimm, because you’re right, that’s not out of character for him at all. What I do have a problem with is that he suddenly lost all of his ferocity, and I kept waiting for him to at least bear his teeth, something, anything, to try to take some of the power that Black Claw promised him, but he didn’t. He was just as much of a hostage as Adalind, Diana, and Kelly, but unlike them, he was just rolling with it. He had no problem just rolling over for Boneparte and everyone else. There was none of that Sean Renard swagger that he’d always had.

So… yeah I guess that’s what I’m personally most upset about. 

DOes it count as them killing your favourite character when the actor is still walking around on set theoretically “playing” him? Like Rennard is still my favourite character but I feel like going back and watching season 1 through 4 and stopping to feel better now….

Hi there – Admin Liz here. He’s dead to me too right now, so sure, you can say they killed your fave. I loved pre-season five Renard as well, but at this point idk if he will ever be able to redeem himself. I’m sorry for your loss, Grimmster.

Dear lord a full Zauberbiest is more terrifying than a full Hexenbiest but I was so excited to finally see one. This show is also making me feel weird about a child murdering people. I know it’s bad but it was satisfying to see Diana using Sean to murder Bonaparte.

Hi There – Admin Liz here! He was terrifying wasn’t he?? Everyone seemed to be just terrified once they realized what he was – they must be rare as well. And let me tell you – I also don’t condone child murders but I agree 100% – I definitely approve of Diana using her powers to destroy Team Grimm’s enemies. 

My question is, would the zauberbeist have been able to kill nick by “strangling” him? Because Nick still had the stick so would that be able to save him from being strangled? THE QUESTIONS FROM LAST NIGHTS EPISODE ARE ENDLESS!

Hi there! Admin Liz here – WE ASKED THE SAME THING. I personally don’t think he would have been able to kill him. But, I’m glad that we didn’t find out because I wouldn’t have wanted him to be resurrected in front of Renard. The last thing we need right now is for him to even remotely know about the stick.

Ugh Sean bugs me so much now… it just seems like a 1000% degree turn…

There are about a dozen moments in which I would have forgiven Sean if he had just stepped the fuck up.

But I feel like the last one has well and truly passed for me. And that was that moment with Nick at the end of the finale. For like half a second I thought Sean had finally, finally stepped up and done what he should have done all along: protected the people he cared about.

I would have forgiven him for siding with Black Claw. I might have even forgiven him for killing Meisner, if he had just chosen in that moment to save Nick.

But no. It wasn’t Sean. It was Diana, punishing the man who hurt her mother (while Sean stood by and watched). Diana, protecting her family. Diana, a child, doing what a grown-ass adult wouldn’t do for reasons no child should ever have to understand.

I don’t think I can forgive him after this.
