Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde - Lin S. - 10-09-2015
I heard that the dead faint drink Monroe hands to Renard in Headache was green food coloring and ice milk. Somebody read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde closely because that is the color of the concoction he drinks in the book. Green must be a particularly horrible color to drink.
Maybe it is Rosalee who should be designated as Dr. Lanyon in the Grimm version but Lanyon's irrasible attitude toward Henry Jekyll sounds more like Monroe's personality.
Nick, of course is Mr. Utterson, Dr. Jekyll's lawyer who with his cousin Mr. Enfield, Hank, try to hunt down the elusive Mr. Hyde. Sgt Wu made a nice butler Poole kicking the glass of the squad car window like the butler Poole trying to break down the door to get Mr. Hyde in the laboratory. Didn't find any puns this time though. Maybe I missed them. So tell me if you found one.

No offense, but I think you're taking this analogy thing a little too far. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde isn't even a fairy tale.

None taken. I know what you mean not everyone wants to read below the surface of the "comic book" story and that's ok. Using sources other than fairy tales tripped me up at first too. But they did John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men in season one, the episode Of Mouse and Man with the mauzhertz Marty Burgess. And I realized they stretched the definition of what they would include as stories to anything fiction.
Then they took a quote from Ferdinand Foch's war manual for the French army in season two and described Napoleon's battle down to the details of his generals in Face off and that's not even fiction.
None of those are strickly speaking "folk tales" in the sense that I would mean a "fairy tale." I think they have easy clues and hard clues. If you know the story already like Little Red Riding Hood or Sleeping Beauty you can see the clues and puns. If you don't know the story you have to figure it out from the quote and read it then watch the episode a second time. It's a great marketing ploy.
I would hazard a guess you haven't read Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, most people haven't, so you don't see the similiarities between Dr. Jekyll's suicide in the end of the book and what they did to Renard in the spice shop. But if you get curious it's a good book, short and it's in the public domain so you can read it online. Then I bet you'll see all sorts of similiaries between Grimm and Stevenson.
