Why don't we just go watch Law & Order?". The show is called Grimm! If you can't even get behind the concept of the series, what's the friggin' point! Were you mistakenly under the impression that the theme over these last six seasons was, "Grimms are pointless and they should all just go away." Maybe you also wondered why there always had to be these stupid Wesen around, screwing up your well ordered sense of the justice system. It makes you wonder why they never make procedurals about ordinary people and leave out the monsters. (That was sarcasm, by the way)
Contrary to your own popular belief, there are people out here who don't necessarily share your opinion that everything about Grimm is warm and fuzzy. Also contrary to your own inflated sense of self, no one has to answer to you as to why they don't post threads according to your suggestions.
One of the reasons I liked this forum is because we are free to post what we want. The moderators here are great, objective, and welcome all points of view. Most of the time I have been able to enjoy that freedom, with the exception of a select few who are under the impression that everyone must think as they do, say what they say, act like clones, all of the time, 24/7.
When they don't, then they're plagued with such intelligent statements like, "If you think being a Grimm is nonsense, then I question why you even care about the show."
By the way because I know you missed it, that was sarcasm.
I don't know why you bother responding to my posts if you're so concerned that you have to question everything I write.
This forum reminds me of certain aspects of religion. There seems to be some fundamental acts of faith that are needed in order to accept the story line. Some expect us to simply believe Grimms are somehow a benevolent force. We are suppose to accept, as an article of faith, that police who do not follow the rule of law, violate their oath of office, believe in torture, do not follow Miranda rights, and execute prisoners are somehow justified.
If you openly question those articles of faith you are oft attacked as a heretic.
I don't believe Grimms are inherently benevolent. The journals make clear that throughout history they have adopted some particularly cruel practices. Each one is an individual, capable of good or bad. Just as anyone in a position of power has the possibility of being a force for the positive or negative in our natures. But I do believe that Nick is a good man, and by virtue, representative of the positive in what a Grimm can be. The writers intended Nick to bring on a sea change in Grimm, Wesen relations. A New Testament Grimm as they put it. No longer the boogeyman of Wesen culture, but their defender.
