Grimm: Season Six May Be the End for NBC Series – canceled TV shows – TV Series Finale

evaneealora:

Grimm aired its 100th episode on NBC last week, and it has been a fight for the series to make it that far, according to David Giuntoli. He spoke about the series in an interview with The Los Angeles Times this week, and he made one shocking revelation.

Season six could be the last season for this series. NBC has not yet renewed the series though, so it could very well end with the fifth season. Fans will need to wait for news on the fate of the series.

The series’ 100th episode did answer a big question. Nick and Monroe found the treasure that was hinted at during the start of the series. They managed to uncover it on the last episode, and it had great power. It healed Monroe from an infected bite.

Giuntoli said the following about the future of the series:

“It’s very rare that an actor gets so many opportunities between “action” and “cut.” Most of your time as an actor is spent trying to get to that point, not living within those two points, and when you’re on a long-running series, you have so much time in between those two moments to actually yell “cut.” So, I’m ever grateful for all of the opportunities I get to kind of change it up — fix things, better things, tweak things. If we get a Season 6, it could very well be our last season, and it will be the first time that the writers would get to write to an ending. If we do, it’ll be a very fun ride, with major events.”

The series has been a Friday night staple for several seasons, but the ratings have seen a dip this season. Do you want a sixth season of this series?

I would love to see Grimm get an entire season to wrap up the story in a truly satisfying way, although it seems odd to think of it ending next year when it feels like we really just started getting to the heart of the real story last week.

Honestly, I’m of two minds: on the one hand, the thought of losing the show makes me sad, despite some missteps it’s taken this season.

I started watching Grimm in its first season, which also happened to be the year I moved away from home for grad school. It was dark and fun and a nice escape from everything around me once a week.

I started FYNB not long after, and I’ve had some fun times as part of the Grimm fandom, made some amazing friends, and seen some great discussions and thinking go on. I’ve fallen in love with this world, the writers, and the cast. It’s basically been my Friday night tradition for the last four years. The thought of losing that hurts.

At the same time, I’ve seen what happens in other fandoms when a show outlives its story. Supernatural hasn’t been good since season 8, but the fandom keeps hanging on because what are they going to do? Desert the characters they’ve loved for over a decade without knowing how their story will end? And Doctor Who should have ended with Tennant’s departure, as far as I’m concerned, but there are those who keep coming back because they can’t leave as long as the story isn’t over.

And Glee. Oh, Glee. Let’s just…move on.

So the question is…do I want to see the same thing happen to another show I love? Have the plot and characters unravel slowly before my eyes over several years while I wait in vain for the show I loved to return even as I slowly forget what I loved about it in the first place? Or would I rather see it go out with one final amazing season that ends the story in a satisfying way?

For me, that’s a no-brainer. Give me a good ending and then give the keeping of the world over to fandom, who I’m sure will not disappear overnight just because there are no new episodes coming. There are still depths to explore, after all, that can’t be squeezed into 40 minutes once a week for 22 weeks out of the year. And that, among other things, is what fanfiction is for.

I guess what I’m saying is that if Grimm is destined to take the Long Hiatus, and all shows eventually must, let it go out on a high note.

Grimm: Season Six May Be the End for NBC Series – canceled TV shows – TV Series Finale

Even though I agree with you with the whole “Adalind falling in love with Nick? What?” thing, if they worked on it a little more it would make complete sense- on Adalind’s part. She is very good at making poor life choices and she seems to always fall for a guy even though it might be a good idea to do so. Her falling in love with a guy who was her mortal enemy can be considered in-character for her.

I think you’re right in that it would be in character for Adalind. I’m really glad they didn’t have Nick be all suddenly gung-ho in love though, because it would have been terribly out of character for him, even if they didn’t have the history they have.

And I still don’t think they developed it enough for it to make sense for either of them to feel anything except cautiously amicable toward one another at this point. I’m not sure they can go back and fix it now, because they just rushed it for whatever reason and now a lot of fans are left scratching their heads going “where exactly did that come from?”

A couple of episodes ago she was perking up at the sound of Meisner’s name and blushingly, hopefully asking Trubel whether he’d ever mentioned her, and now she’s in love with Nick? Not attracted to, not beginning to have feelings for, in love. 

Adalind may be a lot of things, but sentimental she’s not. This direction at this juncture doesn’t make any sense for her and is horrible for Nick. I just don’t know what to do with it except throw up my hands and try to watch around it for the rest of the plot.

I like that we think along the same wavelength. (although I forgot that the specific term was “true cross”. *chastises myself* Bad Catholic!) But when they said there was something written on the cloth I jokingly said, “Yeah, it says (*in deep chanty voice*)’This is the wood of The Cross, on which hung The Savior of the World.'” (Which is something the priest says as part of Good Friday services, for those who don’t know). Cuz, at that point, i didn’t think they were gonna go in that direction!

Honestly I got the term “True Cross” from doing a bit of preemptive google research. My Southern Pentecostal upbringing definitely didn’t give me that term.

I think we’re on the right track, though! The more I read about the True Cross versus other legendary wooden artifacts, the more it seems to me like that’s probably what it is!

I’m confused. When did Adalind fall in love with Nick?

Well, anon, it was…

Huh.

You know, that’s a really good question. They’ve only been living together for a few months, tops, and during that time they’ve been somewhat under siege. Not the best atmosphere for developing any kind of healthy connection.

Before that, she was emotionally manipulating him into protecting her from Juliette.

And before that, she was raping him and stealing his powers at Viktor’s behest in a misguided attempt to get Diana back.

Funny…it’s almost as if this whole thing between them happened way too fast and without sufficient development for it to make any kind of sense to anyone not watching it through shipper goggles.

Grimm: The Stick in the Box

rutrexing15:

Ok so for anyone who just saw the 100th episode of Grimm knows that we just got the conclusion to the seven keys storyline.  Spoilers!!!!!  And they found a box that took seven keys (five keys and some lock picking) plus the blood of a Grimm to open.  And in the box was a stick wrapped in cloth with some writing on the cloth.  The Stick can heal people as we saw with Monroe (who was dying of blood poisoning).  So that leaves the question of what the ‘Stick’ is.  I have three theories about this.

1.) The ‘stick’ is a piece of the staff of Moses.  I think this is the most likely of my three theories because: one we know that the seven Grimm knights that found it were apart of the crusades so being a religious artifact is almost a given, two it heals something Moses could do.

2.) The ‘stick’ is a piece of the spear of destiny.  A.K.A. the spear that pierced Christ’s side on the cross.  It is said that the spear of destiny would grant ultimate power to whoever held it.  It is also believed that the spear was broken at some point.  Hitler was said to have the spear’s head.  So that could tie in nicely with the Grimm mythos to this point.

3.) The ‘Stick’ is a piece of the Cross that Christ was crucified on.  Again religious artifact that has to do with wood.  Though I will admit this one is the least likely of the three.  Due to the shape of the ‘stick’.

Well that is what I think the ‘stick’ might be.  If anyone has any thoughts on the ‘stick’ I would love to hear them.     

I like Rosalie’s thoughts. That the stick is a part of the tree of knowledge. Personally, I think it’s from a tree that is referenced in different religions. The Norse tree of life and the Christian tree of knowledge. The tree that inspired the stories of the other trees.

These are the three things I think it could be as well, although I actually think the cross or the staff are the most likely options. Moses used the staff to heal, and pieces of the cross are said to have healing powers. But the spear’s powers are typically believed to be of a much more malevolent nature.

YES. FINALLY. CONFIRMATION.

Being a hexenbiest fundamentally alters the mind and emotions of the person. Adalind is literally TERRIFIED of having those powers back

If this is true – can the writers try not to have the other characters constantly bash Juliette every episode? It makes it so hard to swallow as realistic given Juliette went bad over 2 episodes and then the writers made it so she can’t ever be redeemed. It feels imbalanced in the writing of Juliette vs Adalind. I know a lot of folks hated Juliette but she was fundamentally a good person at heart. So if Adalind gets the “she was only bad because HB”, then it’d be nice if the show acknowledged that with Juliette. But I guess they cannot do that because Adalind is the reason why this happened to Juliette and they are trying to make Adalind the good one now.

I hate Saint/sinner writing. 😦

Yes, this. This is all I want. If they’re going to redeem Adalind based on the notion that she wasn’t herself or wasn’t in control when she did all the terrible things she’s done, they need to stop throwing Juliette under the bus, too.

They’ve been hinting at this for a awhile I can’t help but think – what about Sean Renard? He’s a zauberbiest, which is the same thing except gendery. Renard isn’t all evil and murdery and he has his powers.

Only Renard has pointed out several times they are not the same thing, like when Juliette went to him for help after she changed.

Actually, Renard has been pretty murdery in the past. He killed people in season one, including his own cousin. He facilitated human trafficking for that horrible fighting ring until they stepped outside his rules for who they kidnapped.

He was also the mastermind behind a lot of Adalind’s early actions, including the attacks on Aunt Marie and Hank.

It was only after he underwent that purification spell to save Juliette that he started to become nicer and less shady (which he only did because she tied Nick to Portland and he wanted Nick where he could keep an eye on him and have a chance to get at the key he had).
