Because of that I can’t think we elaborate many theories based on that episodes because everything had changed since them and nothing make sense about them.
The show showed us Aunt Marie just in the three first episodes and she was a grimm that never told Nick about his mother or about the grimms. Marie asked Nick if he was seeing strange things. How would she know that Nick started at that exactly moment? Than we have Monroe asking about someone dying in his family. Marie would know nick started to see strange things because she was dying. But in the end of season one Nick’s mommy showed up and all this talk about dying died in the show. Josh’s dad dyed trying to teach his no-grimm son and again it simply doesn’t fit with the first 3 episodes of the series. Aunt Marie told Nick to leave Juliette as if it was a grimm law but his mother was married a normal human and supported him and Juliette. Again it doesn’t fit with the first episodes.
Other things in the first episode don’t make sense. Monroe keeps saying that Grimm is feared by all wesen around the world. Many wesen are scared when seeing Nick first time. But Monroe (yes, the same Monroe) called Nick for a bear in the first episode. Really? Are we talking about the same show?
Considering grimm writers, many things are in the show just for the good of the story they want to tell next. When Sean asked to Adelaind’s mommy to help with Juliette sleeping spell and to keep Nick in Portland in the beginning of season 2, Sean said he invested too much time in Nick. But if we consider the first episode, Sean wouldn’t know Nick would be a grimm even if he know Nick was from a grimm family. So there was nothing in the firist episodes or even in the show to support that Sean invested anything in Nick. Sean ordered Adelaind to kill Marie. But Marie was already dying. Can someone explain me why?
In the first episodes there was a plot about bee’s warning Nick that they were coming. Who are they? The show is ending and no one talked about ‘they’ anymore (unless they were the royals… or BC???).
The first episodes of the show can’t be used as bases for any analysis because the writers had already changed everything since them.
I think the writers knew exactly where they wanted the series to go. They would have to in order to get NBC to buy into a 22 episode series. Adriano, I think you were right on the mark when you said they were all about action and not character development.
In that aspect, Grimm is no different from television series I watched while growing up. I loved Lost in Space, a series that was primarily action that dealt with different aliens on a weekly basis. I can't stand watching the series now. It's complete fluff with no substance.
Grimm is a little more intelligent than Lost in Space, but in my opinion, it's really the same fluff; weekly action involving different wesen, a cop who fights them, and his unusual band of friends. The problem now is that I'm not a kid anymore, and I watch the series from the perspective of an adult, usually with the question of, 'what the hell?'
We can't come up with elaborate theories to explain the early episodes, and I agree with your reasoning there. However, I don't think it's anyone's mission in life to put forth some kind of theory that would cover all of the gaps the early episodes (or any episodes for that matter) might not cover. I think we just are chiming in all in the name of fun. There are many intelligent people here who often provide illuminating perspectives and I enjoy reading them.
