Just finished my rewatch - this week it really sucked that I couldn't find the time untill now - it's a favourite episode for me, too.
Yes, I can hardly look at the judges body with this hammer stuck in his throat, Mary's tongue on the scales isn't any better -yuk-...
...but I can live with that.
I agree. For this kind of Wesen, brutality was neccessary.
Monroe looking around in the trailer for the first time is an all-time-highlight for me, his big eyes, just like a child on christmas day, "this is a total freak show".
Monroe had some of his best scenes in this episode. I like the idea of Monroe saving the day without being discovered, leaving big bullets behind and an even bigger mystery.
As others said, I like Juliette in this episode, too. The boiling water was definitely the only thing in the house to chase the Siegbarst away. Brave and clever girl.
Here's the time for aunt Gretel's german lesson if you like
"Stark" is the german word for strong, nothing could fit better.
"Siegbarst" - I just love that word though it gave me something to ponder for a long time. "Sieg" means "victory" but what's a "Barst"? In very outworn german it's the past form of "to burst" or "to explode" but it really doesn't make sense in this combination. I like my husband's idea in this topic. His suggestion is the german word for invincible, what is "unbeSIEGBAR", but there are letters missing and too much letters, too But the meaning fits very good. So, if I have to translate Siegbarst this way, it would be probably "Cibelst", pure nonsens. Nervertheless, I love the word Siegbarst. It sounds really like a fairy tale character and sounds pretty brutal.
"Gift" ist the german word for poison, as Monroe said. Storytime
After WW2, when germany laid in ruins and the people were hungry, the german-american love story began with care parcels from america. They kept many families from starving. But there were parcels destroyed and dumped, too. Some people didn't dare to open them and eat the goods inside because they were labeled "Gift" for tax reasons.
