You gotta wonder if Nick grew up a little like Roddy: always on the outside, always feeling different. In Nick’s case, never really knowing why.
So Nick actually does say later in the episode he was “different” growing up. I wish we got more about his childhood in the show.
Hank and Wu go for drinks after work. That’s a canon fact.
The Von Hammelin Institute. Ughhhhhh. 😂
Hank clocks this lady’s bullshit from a mile away.

Married and divorced several times.
Pays attention to his partner’s interests.
Thus knows about aboriginal art.
Afraid of rats.
Good with victims and witnesses.
I will never stop wishing we got to see more of Roddy Geiger.
I’m just gonnaaaa…skip the rapey goatman episode on this rewatch.
You know what I really wanted from the epilogue?
Nick Burkhardt in his mid-50s. Just as he’s beginning to come into his full Silver Fox potential.
Just. Imagine it.
Poor Nick. He’s a homicide detective with a healthy relationship and a nice house. Then suddenly his aunt is dying and he’s seeing terrifying creatures everywhere he goes, and apparently he has a whole damn destiny that’s coming for him.
“Oh shit I’m a main character”
Oh shit I need to get back into this show.
I need to warn you that there is no season 6. Like, they will lie to you and tell you that there’s 13 episodes with a satisfaying conclusion but this is juste elaborate bad fanfiction.
Noted. After season five go to the Actual Good Content on A03.
Oh great, I’m in the middle of season 4 right now and that’s really not good to hear. I can already tell the whole key stuff is going to end up either incredibly rushed all at once or just left open forever. As a writer I’d try to wrap things up then jump 15-20 years to handle key stuff and baby stuff at the same time in a 2 or 3 season sequel series, but I’m guessing that’s not how things go.
I don’t want to spoil you, but there was an attempt made to wrap as much up as they could in the episodes they had left. There are varying levels of happiness with that across the fandom.
Some people loved the ending. A lot found it okay but unsatisfying in some ways (I’m among that set). And some were really unhappy with it.
The good news is they’re developing a spin-off, which gives them another chance to fill in some of the gaps and fix some issues (if it gets green-lit)!
That’s a good point. I’m sitting at “so unhappy I wrote more that 130k words of fix-it fic”. It goes to show it was really polarizing at least.
Interested in sharing a link to your fic(s)? We’d love to signal boost some more Grimm fanfic on the blog!
