This is a deep, dark and mainly chilled out mix, that rises to sharp intensity before falling back down. I’ve tried to show Monroe’s anger, his sadness, his passion and the other things he tries to control with pilates and cello music.

Next week will be a mix for Sean Renard.

Music Monday – Series Four Mixtape

So I’m super excited about this new feature here! Every Monday I’m going to be sharing a mixtape about a particular part of Grimm – whether it’s tracking the story of a season or the tone, a single character or a pairing. Each will feature 22 songs, and I’ve got it all in a spreadsheet so I won’t feature a single song twice. I’ve got a broad taste in music, and especially in the story playlists, I’ve also included songs that might not be to my taste but fit the theme. But! When I try to match tones with Grimm, expect dubstep, driving cello pieces, dark electronica and a touch of metal, like the fantastic soundtrack, which may still be available to purchase in CD format from Amazon.

Next week will be a Monroe-themed playlist, with accompanying fancy graphics.

Each link takes you to a YouTube video of the song, simply because I like a lot of covers that you can’t find anywhere else.

Series Four Playlist

In this playlist, I’ve tried to track the main storylines as much as possible, so there is a mix of tones and tastes as I’ve tried to capture the story.

Grimm Thoughts

sexytrekkie:

I know everyone is still feeling from the whole Juliette situation, but I can’t stop thinking about the fact that the King said the Queen is dead, and then the King is murdered. Does that mean Viktor is now King? I WANT TO SEE THAT SO BAD!! He killed mayor players, the Verat leader, as his beginning point as Prince. It is going to be a crazy-ass war with lots of violence and bloodshed if he is declared King. Or am I wrong? Viktor might not cause a fuck-storm?

By my reckoning, Viktor should be King.

Viktor should also be out for blood, considering he was recalled back to Vienna and removed from the action of hunting for Diana, the most important thing that has happened to the Royals in centuries. It wasn’t even handled in the most polite manner, and that would have undermined his power within the Family. If he is King, he will be looking to do anything to regain the power over, and trust of, the other Family members.

So, yes, blood shed all around. Someone might even challenge Viktor for the throne, causing a civil war, which would be interesting. The Royals don’t work as one unified force, even within Sean’s Family, and we haven’t seen any others, but an actual out and out coup would create a scramble for the Keys, for Diana, for Grimms and for other sources of power, giving the Resistance a key opening to attack. They’ve already managed to kill the King and steal Diana, a divided Royal Family could spell their downfall, and the repurcussions of that slow downfall will create all sorts of havoc within the Wesen community. I suspect the Wesen Council will be butting it on everything as well.

Some Things To Think About After the Finale (spoilers)

– The lady that showed up after Trubel shot Juliette is the FBI woman who came to investigate Sean’s shooting and kidnapped Trubel early in this series and wanted her to join some kind of Grimm/Wesen vigilante group. I assume this is also the woman Trubel spoke to on the phone, because it was a woman’s voice on the other end. I doubt it was Juliette and it couldn’t have been Adalind or Rosalee.

– Now the King is dead, normal laws of succession would mean that Viktor is now King. Apart from Grimm doesn’t abide by normal laws of succession, since Viktor was ‘chosen’ after Eric was assassinated, rather than just being the next in line to the throne. But Viktor is still Crown Prince, so logic would dictate it’s Viktor – unless the King left behind another Queen, in which case there is a possibility she may rule in Viktor’s place. It’s unlikely, since the spouse of a monarch rarely rules between the monarch and next in line, unless the next in line is too young to rule by themselves, in which case she would be Queen Regent. Viktor is of age and fit enough to rule by himself. Unless of course, the Queen wishes to challenge that via war, like Queen Matilda. If Grimm plays by the rules of the British monarchy. The fact that Viktor is chosen to succeed could mean that there were a lot of cousins who had a roughly equal claim and the court chose the one who offered them the steadiest/best reign. Who knows. Grimm, you hurt my head.

– Kenneth had every single one of Nick’s immediate neighbors murdered. What happens when the police find everyone bar Nick (and possibly Juliette) dead on that street? I hope this gets dealt with and not smoothed over.

– Will the Resistance let Sean know they have Diana? It’s smarter for them to not, since the Royals will assume Sean had something to do with it since the Grimm led an attack on the Royals’ rental, and will start asking questions and killing people, and Sean may well be forced to give that information up.

– On that note, will the Royals let Sean know his father is dead? (and someone took Diana?) Sean has no spy now that Sebastian is dead (we assume), so what happens now? Again, since Nick led an attack on the Royals, it’s logical to assume Sean had something to do with it, even if he didn’t. It’s also logical to assume that the Resistance is the helicopter had something to do with the Grimm. How likely is it that the Resistance AND the Grimm knew where Diana was? They will assume they were connected, even if they weren’t.
