And in medieval times, "The abyss wants to kill me"

Yes and one episode actually shows this happening.

@@catwhowalksbyhimself The one where that one Wesen stares into Trubel's eyes and you can see the darkness.

Heavy...😗😗😗😗

You have to bear in mind the nature of what a Grimm is, according to the shows lore the very First Grimm from whom all others are descended was born to regular human parents and from then on all children of Grimms were also Grimms. So maybe the First Grimm could be explained by some random fluctuation or mutation which allowed an otherwise normal human to be able to see Wesen in their natural forms. There is also the fact that they have enhanced strength, stamina, resistance to magic and mind control (though of course not perfect), reflexes and a natural affinity for combat. But to top it off it has an added effect of their eyes mysteriously appearing "Black" and reflective of their "True Wesen Nature" and in the scene with Truble the image is NOT the same as the person doing the actual seeing, its far more bestial and feral looking. Their very blood is poison to the Hexenbeists, which are there ultimate Anti-thesis in the Wesen World. Does this sound like the standard "Random Mutation"? Considering all these facts that are revealed about Nick as the show went on, its more and more evident that the First Grimm was not "random" at all and instead was basically a Guinea Pig for some sort of magical "tinkering" to empower a human who could fight back against what people of that ancient time (MILLENIA ago, after all) saw as "Monsters" or "Evil". Grimms were clearly intended to be used for this role by whomever actually made them and the fact that the heritage can be passed by their blood to their children indicates the intent. Now as to why there was only the First Grimm and its from them all others descended maybe they could only do this once but decided that One would be enough so long as the strength of the blood bore out that any children would be Grimms, too.

it can?

@@stugod5000 yep, he puts the sword away by touching the pen cap to the tip of the blade, but if he touches the cap to the base of the hilt it turns into a pen with the cap on the bottom. and it wasn't even him who realized it, it was Annabeth

It took nine

Canon wise, that's about 5 years. Oof

@@jasoncummings7 it’s Percy, are you even surprised?

At night and then got hit by truck-kun

What's interesting is that NICK was the first GRIMM (possibly in history) to actually befriend Wesen and got someone to actually TELL HIM how they knew. I'm sure other Grimms had no idea unless a wesen tells them, and why would they even talk to a "De Capitare' LOL.

@@Frankie2012channel Recent history you mean. From what i remember, Grimms used to work for the Royals to keep the other Wesen in check. The Royals could certainly tell them, but sunglasses weren't available.

​​@@Frankie2012channel Aunt Marie was Engaged to steinhalder Farley Kolt. She specified that Grimms hunt "the Bad ones", implying some Wesen are Ok. Aside from her, you're probably right. I'm surprised that none of Nick's ancestors bothered torturing Wesen for that information. They definitely tortured them for other stuff. Even if there Had been other Grimms on civil speaking terms with Wesen, they certainly never bothered to ask or Write Down how wesen made them out to be Grimms. Not so much as a useful tip like: "TRY NOT TO LET WESEN SEE YOUR EYES OR CATCH YOU STARING WHEN THEY WOGE, UNLESS YOU'RE READY TO ATTACK" Even when Sunglasses weren't available, knowing how Wesen can tell Grimms apart from humans through their eyes would have been good to know. A lifesaver even.

She is not Nick . Nick is like Matt Murdock and Trubel is like Selina Kyle

@@jayadevmenon7086 Good analogy.

@@fighterck6241 It was when Nick wore sunglasses it struck me

in a an episode or two he said that wesen somehow knew when they were looking at him when they woged that he was a grimm. so in one instance with hank he had hank enrage the suspected wendigo to get him to do the first stage woge to verify that the guy was a wendingo. since the wendigo wasn't looking at nick he didn't know he was a grimm until later when he was face to face with Nick while fully woged

Well you know it was just one of those things that never really crossed his mind :)

I honestly feel like this is something the writers later came up with. But yeah they should have brought it up much earlier.

I literally thought about it the whole time!!

Usually Grimms don't stop and ask their victims what they see so it wouldn't be in any of their books until now that is.

It's also the reason Monroe asked the question "Who's dead?", Since that's usually the reason Nick visits them lol 😂😂😂😂

@@TheIronWarlockXIII I think they are so used to Nick asking them for help on work matters that involve murders😂😂😂 so never thought Nick would have a personal talk with them

Ik i did but as the same i feel like it was obvious

Yeah, I've always wondered how.

@@awolf2393 I always just imagined it's one of those things you know, like an aura or scent or instinct, what anyone one likes to call it. Though I do not hate this solution. :)=

i figured they saw something i just never knew what

@@WardNightstone right i said that too

@wowalinbie and they went full woge as the sunglasses show and the ripple effect on the face.

@wowalinbie not really, when monroe tried to explain woge to hank, he show him both type of woge, and he did both intentionally

Washingtonian here 🙋 on the RARE occasion that I need sunglasses I have them in a compartment in my car... Does that count?

Elaina lived in Eugene for 4 years and my sunglasses collected dust till August every year 😜

All cops have sunglasses 🤣

Andrea Torres that’s SO true though, it’s like a rule.

As someone currently living in Oregon, it's probably to hide stoner eye. Usually pretty frowned on, on a cop.

Same. I hope it comes back. Fantasy mixed with modern times is my favorite type of storytelling. I can enjoy Medieval-era stories, but I don't feel as connected to the times.

Mine too

same

I think I remember a passing reference along the lines of "The Royal Families created the Grimms to keep the Wesen under control."

According to the wiki the first grimm sort was just born in a one in a million cosmic gamble no real origin or anything

For some reason I thought grimms were a cross of human and death (Grimm Reaper)

I have a theory that Grimm are a type of wesen variant that doesn’t have a noticeable woge, other than what was mentioned here. It would explain how their bodies are geared towards combat and quickly adapt to changing circumstances.

My memory of this show is really rusty. Did they ever explain what the Royal Families were either? I can't remember if they were supposed to be somehow different too, and I don't think it was ever clarified.

He dropped his glasses.

@@heru-deshet359 because of Trubel

@@TheOcculticUnicorn She showed up without glasses, lol.

@@heru-deshet359 And then everyone went into a panic.

Saying he's a Grimm and seeing he's a Grimm are two very different things. You heard how they described it.

I always wonder that too. Like some wesen are not from animals, but fire (excandesco), inspiration (musaï), of even "alien" (Glühenvolk)... The hexenbiest are considered specials and sometime not wesen, so the grimm might be something like that too... something elemental like darkness or the abyss...

@@a.t.o.mworkshop6409 I can't remember where, but I read that the Original Grimm was genetically altered through magic and the alterations were past down through their children.

Me too. Rehabilitation from foot surgery last month has shown me the magic of binging tv series.

Same here

Same here!

full woge their bodies actually chang rather then just an image appearing of their true self, so yes their voice may very well change depending upon the species. wendigos get a high pitched voice

Sometimes, but there were some episodes where both Monroe and Rosalees vouces stayed the same

@@jessefisher2870 that was the first stage woge they were doing.

Me too, I miss the series so much 😩

AGREED!

This will shows what they see

@@jedi-commanderx9337 it doesn't show his eyes behind the sunglasses which was my point. They say his eyes turn black. They do not state what portion of his eyes turn black and I was wondering if it was only his iris that changed then if colored contacts would hide the change. As opposed to the whites of his eyes changing to black as well which contacts wouldn't hide. I haven't watched the show in ages so I don't remember anything past about season 1.5 so however the wedding turned out I don't know🤷‍♀️

No, unfortunately. In one of the final seasons we see it covers their entire eyes, not just the pupils, which is all the contact would cover. It's how the FBI agent ID's Trubel as a Grimm when she was hospitalized.

@@Rakushi_Snea It was a geier nurse who did that.

@@fighterck6241 You'd be correct. Ironically I watched this episode 4 days ago and thought about this comment 🤣

Nope, Sadly.

Lost Girl came out around the same time and is similar.

If you don’t mind rewatching, it’s on Prime.

@@DanteCorwyn Lost Girl is a show similar to Grimm?

Supernatural, but it's more direct and no woge session 😑😅

That's what I don't get: why are the fx better although the show orders is older🤔

Agreed, I kinda miss when the Grimm was SCARY....like something way deeper and sinister motivated them.

I think there was in one episode.

Just finished the series. I thought the reapers were going to be a way bigger deal given how hyped up they were, recurring villains or something like that. Nope. Very disappointed

@MouthwashTyphoon that was just a wesen who hated himself

All the seasons are on amazone prime if you were wondering

It was getting harder for the writers to come up with original ideas and most of the show participants' contracts had expired and they were mostly renewing a season at a time. Since the show was never a major market hit (although it had a strong fan base) the decision was made to end the series, and cut back the final season from 22 episodes to 13. (One interview said the writers were sort of relieved, as it was getting tougher to write.)

@@c.r.kubicek3512 I can't help but be annoyed at how right you are and how hard it must have been for the writers to come up with new creative ideas each season but I can't help but feel that despite the hurdles they had to get by..they should have given us a better and maybe longer ending and there were many creatures outside of the U.S and Europe that they could have explored.

The writers took a great buddy cop show and turned it into a soap opera.

The producers and actors made the right choice for all the obvious reasons. Most shows have a natural life span It is also difficult to keep coming up with original story lines without breaking the already slender threads of credulity that already exist to allow the show to exist It had a good 6 seasons The most we should expect is either a film length episode or a miniseries every few years to explore something that hadn't already been addressed in the show already.

@@Whisper555 Tell that to the producers of Supernatural. It's going on what, eleven or twelve seasons now?

They did have three books, a comic book series.

@@toomanyaccounts Interesting, what were they called by? How is their author called?

@@thenightmarewizardcat i am not sure why my post 3 weeks was deleted so i am going to list them again.

the comic books are GRIMM OMNIBUS TRADE PAPERBACK GRIMM: SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES TRADE PAPERBACK The books are. "The Icy Touch" "The Chopping Block" "The Killing Time" There is also the in universe tie in "Aunt Marie's Book of Lore"

@@toomanyaccounts I just bought them! Thank you so very much

It eas already shown to us in an episode where Trubel goes to the hospital, and one of the nurses was a wesen and then woged in front of Trubel. The wesen could see Trubel's eyes completely black. Fucking amazing

who is stacy?

Hottie🤗
