Hi there! I’m really glad you like the Grimm Stats, and I’m more than happy to answer your questions!

Right now, the plan is to do one a week for the duration of the hiatus. I’d really like to do more beyond that, but I’m not sure I will. The main reason for this is that making the stats posts takes up a massive amount of time. I have to rewatch each episode, of course, pausing frequently to take notes as I go.

Once that’s done, I then have to create the graphics for each stat. This part actually shouldn’t take as long as it does, but I’m working with an ancient laptop so it takes forever.

So, long story short: I should definitely get through season one during the hiatus, but I’m not sure I’ll continue after that. If I do, I’ll definitely be taking a break before moving on to season two.

As for the heinous writer puns, these can be anything in the dialogue of an episode–or something shown/occurring on screen–that constitutes a pun or ridiculous joke on the writers’ part, especially something that the characters don’t necessarily acknowledge as such.

This, of course, excludes anything explicitly said by Wu, as those comments are so numerous as to have their very own category.

For instance, in the second episode, the family of Jägerbars (bear-type Wesen) have a son named Barry. Their last name is also Rabe, which is an anagram of bear.

A lot of the puns show up this way, actually. Another great example is in the episode “Lonelyhearts.” The Wesen-of-the-week, Billy Capra, is a goat-type Wesen called a Ziegevolk who is trying to impregnate as many women as possible (ick).

“Billies” are male goats that are still capable of producing offspring, and “capra” is literally the genus that goats belong to. So…his name is basically Goat McGoat.

It’s also entirely possible that I’ll miss some puns, so matter how diligently I try to count them, because especially in the early episodes the writing was full of them, seemingly in every frame.
