Like you, I like the suppositions more than the actual show. I think the forum dialogues are far more intriguing than most of the writing on the show.

For instance, hexenbiests mate with other hexenbiests and produce little hexenbiests. Yet Grimm would have us believe that a Grimm's blood can displace a hexenbiest.
Then, with little to no explanation, Juliette becomes a hexenbiest, even though she does not possess the genetics of a person who can house a hexenbiest. Even more convoluted, Nick's blood cannot remove her hexenbiest blood even though he's a Grimm because of a spell.
Sort of glad you brought this up. Blood...uh, to the best of my knowledge that type of exchange can rather routinely occur during robust love making. So Nick and Adalind or Juliette...???? I don't know, maybe the younger generation is different in how all that works. I won't elaborate, but, well I am not sure how they do it, it is obvious they don't use protection...
To your point, I agree, the rules of whatever aspect of GRIMM seem very fluid and simply plot driven.
As yet another rambling aside, the famous progenitor of all Sword & Sorcery fantasy, Robert E. Howard, wrote an actual private guide to the imaginary civilizations and ages his characters were in, in order to keep a level of consistency. Louis L'Amour ended up doing an analogous thing with some of his serials, notably the Sacketts, Chantrys, and Talons. It seems to me with a series like this it would have been a prerequisite.

No,it is exactly what I was looking for. I was trying to provoke substantive conversation. Thank you.
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
