Well…that was a doozy of an episode, Grimmsters.

AT LEAST WE NOW KNOW WHERE TRUBEL IS!

But what on EARTH was Meisner doing holding her captive?!

And ready…what did he mean ready? Ready for what, exactly?

Also WHERE THE HELL IS JULIETTE’S BODY AND WHY DID THEY TAKE IT.

I know! I mean, let Nick have it so he can bury her! She had friends and family!

SERIOUSLY.

Like…she has (or had) parents! And friends! And god, Nick lost the woman he was in love with for 7 years, the woman he wanted to marry and spend the rest of his weird, wacky life with…and he doesn’t even get the closure of giving her a proper burial? This is cruel.

This episode is reminding me of that one fanfic, the one where Nick puts a kid in the system and promises to help him and then learns that really, the system isn’t equipped to help Wesen kids like, AT ALL.

I would like to read that.

Here you go!

That’s it for tonight, Grimmsters! However there are two more Waldsterben one-shots and I highly encourage you to read them! My Misguided Fairytale has made herself one of my favorite Grimm fic writers with this series, it’s so creative and creepy and interesting!

And that’s it for the countdoen, too! Tomorrow night we resume our liveblogging from the spice shop basement with the season five premiere of Grimm! ARE YOU READY FOR IT?

Thank you so much for liveblogging my fics! Reading your thoughts about them was such a treat, and I’m so glad you enjoyed them! I’ve actually got another one-shot I haven’t added to the collection yet, so I’ll add that tomorrow maybe so anyone interested can check it out. Thanks again for doing this, I really appreciate it!! ❤

It was my pleasure! Your fics took such an interesting view on the whole Grimm world and were delightfully creepy. I haven’t had a chance yet due to real-life stuff but I fully intend to read more of your fic!

BE STILL MY HEART THAT ANGRY HEXEN SCREAM ITS SO FAMILIAR 

AND MEISNER WHAT ARE YOU DOING OMGG

Who was Meisner? I can’t remember him! Was he supposed to be dead? D:

No worries…sometimes Grimm has so many plot threads and goes so long without mentioning them that it’s hard to keep them all straight.

Meisner was first introduced as a dubious ally of Sean Renard who works with the Laufer (Resistance). He helped Sean plan Eric’s murder, along with Sebastien. He later assisted Adalind in escaping from Vienna when she was pregnant with Diana. While they were on the run, he actually delivered the baby. He and Adalind even seemed to grow to care about each other before he handed her off to Kelly Burkhardt for her final escape back to Portland (this was during the second half of season 3).

After that, we didn’t see Meisner again until the season 4 finale, when he turned out to be flying the helicopter that had Diana and King Frederick in it. He pushed King Frederick out of the helicopter (presumably killing him) and then went off with Diana to god knows where (although she seemed happy to see him so one would hope/assume she’s safe).

And the rest you saw!

Now our Jujubiest(OMG, i love say this, hahaha ) was gone, which female Grimm character do you guys think could be so perfect for our Avenger Grimm ? If a cossover was possible, I think Felicity, from Arrow, could be SO perfect for Nick, OMG *-* But for now… I am really in doubt between Adalind or Trubel(and here I go again with my obsession for Nick and Trubel, hahaha )

I personally can’t ship and will never condone Nick having a romantic relationship with Adalind, because she raped him at the end of season three (and in general has done nothing but harm and seek to harm him and those he cares about since the day they met). I don’t ship him with Trubel either, because they’re at least ten years apart in age, she’s very young (like 22), and he’s her mentor and in some ways her rescuer…it would be a power imbalance that I just couldn’t get over, and Trubel wouldn’t be in a position to give good consent under those circumstances.

And honestly I think it would take a very long time for Nick to come to a place where he’s ready to move on from Juliette. I mean…they were together for years. He loved her. He wanted to marry her. They saw each other every day, and were an integral part of each other’s lives for a long time. Not to mention he will probably always feel at least partially responsible for what happened to her. She was killed right in front of him, and she died drowning in her own blood, in his arms. That’s not something you get over really quickly, and I hope the writers realize that and give Nick the time he needs to really heal.

Not to mention, just from a personal perspective, I could definitely use a break from all the relationship drama on the show. There’s so much actual, interesting plot they haven’t even touched on. What about the keys? The coins? All the dire things hinted at in the first season and throughout the subsequent seasons, to do with the royals and the structure of the Wesen world, and the reasons Renard wanted Nick on his side?

For that matter, what about Renard’s entire character arc and all the stuff we don’t know about him yet? His hidden motivations? His ties to the Resistance? Oh yeah, hey! What about the resistance! And what’s going to happen with the royals now that–as far as we know–the entire line has been wiped out except for Diana and Sean? The last thing this show needs is another season of supernatural pregnancies and magic-fueled breakups. There’s plenty of plot to go around, if the writers will just use it.

Then there’s the fact that Nick’s dual jobs are both, on their own, not conducive to healthy, stable relationships. Being a homicide detective is a hard, dangerous job with long hours and constant uncertainty. That would put strain on any relationship, without the added layers of danger, duplicity, brutality, and secrecy being a Grimm brings to the table. I don’t see Nick just up and meeting someone who’s willing and able to handle all of that, who he’s willing to trust and get close to, any time soon. The odds are against him.

in the german credits he’s listed as Eddie Monroe

The Eddie Monroe thing started partly because in a very early draft of the script, his name was actually “Eddy Monroe.” (I actually recommend reading that whole thing, it’s pretty wild…I love seeing what the show looked like in the writers’ minds before it got trimmed down for television.)

The rumor of the name got out during the early press for the show in season one, and everyone started to assume his name was Eddie. Probably not helped by things like what you mention here (and I think it’s even in one of the early interviews with him, like the little bar at the bottom lists him as the guy who plays Eddie Monroe, though I don’t have a source for that one).

However, they’ve never once in the show referenced Eddie (or Eddy) Monroe. And in fact Silas Weir Mitchell has addressed here and here that the name of his character is not Eddie Monroe.

“It’s just Monroe, just for the record,” he says in the first article. And in the second:

“Somehow the name Eddie Monroe mistakenly got out there and now everyone assumes my character’s name is Eddie Monroe – for the record it’s just Monroe.”

The “Eddie Monroe” question is practically a part of Grimm fandom history!

 Now if only the teams that do text inserts, credits, and govern what goes into the tie-ins would get their act together and stop causing us poor fans so much confusion! -_-

Does Monroe even have a name other than Monroe? I mean, didn’t even his parents call him Monroe? I can’t remember.

They’ve never explicitly told us what Monroe’s other name is. We’re not even completely certain whether Monroe is a first name or a last name, although his parents calling him Monroe certainly seems to suggest it’s his first.

Which means not only do we not know Monroe’s last name, if Rosalee took his name when they got married we now have no idea what her last name is, either!

The whole “Eddie Monroe” thing goes back to the very start of Grimm fandom. There was some kind of behind-the-scenes feature in which his name was referenced as Eddie, but both the writers and Silas have since said that it is not canon, it was never canon…it was something a producer did for some strange reason.

As far as anyone but The Powers That Be (and his parents, I guess) know, he’s just Monroe.

replied to your post “First of all, this is fake married fic, so it already wins everything.”

I’ve read that fanfiction and its fantastic. Definitely one of my favorite Grimm fics

So far I’m loving it, too! It has that great Monhardt banter from the early seasons that I’ve missed so much the last two years, and just in general all the things about Nick and Monroe separately that I loved the most when I first started watching the show.
