So Nick is becoming Renard. Okay, if he turns into a Zauberbiest I’m going to freak out. That would be such a poor, weak “twist.” Unfortunately its something I can definitely see happening with how lazy the Grimm Writers have been lately. Am I the only one whose worried about “side-effects?” Nick being a Grimm is enough. We don’t need a weird Grimm!Beist. Not to mention how annoying and recycled that plot-line would be or how it would crowd these last episodes. 8-P Just no. Please Grimm. No.

I find it unlikely for a couple of reasons:

  1. It wasn’t the twinning spell itself that turned Juliette into a Hexenbiest. It was a side-effect of the ritual they did later to return Nick’s Grimm abilities.
  2. Nick’s blood is anathema to Hexenbiests. It literally banishes Hexenbiest powers, presumably Zauberbiest powers as well. Adalind and Juliette are immune to the effects, but there’s no reason to think Renard would be. So it’s likely Renard’s powers couldn’t take root or “live” in Nick’s body once he’s returned to his true form.

That being said, Nick–possibly Grimms in general but especially Nick–tends to absorb some of the traits of any magic he encounters. When he was attacked by the Jinnamuru Xunte, he developed super hearing after just a few hours of blindness.

And when Baron Samedi subjected him to the Dämmerzustand, he gained super strength (at least temporarily), superhuman stamina, that weird “stoneform” thing he used to do occasionally, and the ability to go long stretches without needing to breathe.

So it’s possible that his body would just absorb the Zauberbiest powers like it absorbs every other semi-useful trait or ability it comes into contact with. We’ll just have to wait and see!

i literally keep watching the show for trubel i really hope shes not off for good :'( im really sick of this show but trying to stick it out to the end because of how long ive watched it, but boy is that going to be difficult without her

I really hope so too. I don’t think they would leave her out of the big finale all together, especially not after that somewhat small good-bye. But I also hope they will bring her back well before the final one or two episodes. She is so great and we all miss her when she’s gone.

*FERVENTLY HOPES THAT RENARD KEEPS HAVING MEISNER FLASHBACKS AND GUILT FOR EVERYTHING HE’S DONE UNTIL HE BREAKS & FINALLY REALIZES HE’S CROSSED THE LINE AND NEEDS TO FINALLY, FINALLY DO THE RIGHT THING.*

So do I, Nonny! SO DO I! I keep screaming at him that THAT WAS ANOTHER CHANCE AND YOU BLEW IT SEAN. But a part of me is still hoping for redemption because I have loved this character since mid-season one and I cannot imagine him going out as a villain after everything.

But with every chance he throws away, I’m afraid he gets closer to his only redemption being the eleventh-hour kind that ends in his death.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THE SILVERHARDT FEELS? PLEASE, GRIMM, HEAL MY SHIP! OR AT LEAST SEND IT ON IT’S WAY TO THE HEALING DOCK. .

I REALLY CANNOT BELIEVE IT NONNY. BUT I LOVE IT. I SWEAR I HAD ELABORATE FANTASIES ALL LAST SEASON ABOUT HOW THEY MIGHT EVENTUALLY FIND THEIR WAY BACK TO EACH OTHER BUT NEVER IN MY WILDEST DREAMS DID I THINK WE WOULD ACTUALLY GET THIS SLOW-BURN TORTURE OF LATE LAST SEASON AND THIS SEASON SO FAR.

SLOWLY SLOWLY SLOWLY FINDING THEIR WAY BACK TO EACH OTHER.

Why did they have to make Juliette evil? And why did they have to make nick get with his rapist. It’s so gross.

I don’t think they really made Juliette evil, per se. Can someone be evil when they’re not in control of their own mind or actions? I think of Juliette’s actions in late season four as more sickness than evil, and in season five and six so far she’s definitely been an ally and asset to Nick and Team Grimm. And, more and more, we’re seeing glimpses of the old Juliette, the one who loved Nick and would do anything to protect him.

The getting-with-his-rapist thing though, yeah…that’s really gross. There’s no excuse for that and I will always wish the writers hadn’t gone there. There had to be better ways to deal with Claire getting pregnant than to have Adalind have a baby with Nick, and even if they chose to do that, they didn’t have to manufacture this stilted romance between them like none of the last five years of antagonism, violence, rape, and hatred ever happened between them.
