Grimm (TV): Difference between revisions

[[File:Grimmintertitle 4995.png|frame|Exactly what it says, folks.]]

 

 

Nick Burkhardt, a new on the beat homicide police detective with the Portland Police Bureau in Oregon, is about to marry the woman of his dreams. He comes home to discover his Aunt Marie has turned up unexpectedly. They take a walk and she hits him with the truth she's been keeping secret from him: he is one of the last descendants of the Grimm family—as in [[The Brothers Grimm (creator)|The Brothers Grimm]]—and as such, is gifted with the ability to see monsters, or "Wesen", walking among us, and that his family has hunted and slain these monsters for generations.

** "Plumed Serpent" has a quote at the beginning from ''The Two Brothers''.

** "Leave It to Beavers" is based on ''[[The Three Billy Goats Gruff]]''.

** "Big Feet" is about Big Foot {{spoiler|but not really. It's more like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde}}, although the official website states that it was based off the story of ''Hans the Hedgehog''.

* [[Femme Fatale]]: Adalind Schade, and possibly all the Hexenbiest who are said to be lovely in human form, and are loyal servants to royalty.

* [[Ghostapo]]: The coins in "Three Coins in a Fuchsbau" are stated to be responsible for this.

* [[Gladiator Games]]: The Löwen, a lion-like species of Wesen, enjoy running them to the modern day. {{spoiler|Captain Renard sanctioned the event with a list of approved targets to snatch and fight. He is not happy when they deviate from the list}}.

* [[Good Is Dumb]]: Hap is easily the nicest Blutbad encountered so far, and also the dumbest.

* [[Good Is Not Soft]]: Nick demonstrates this more and more as the series progresses. Monroe gets several instances of this as well.

* [[Playing With Fire]]: The Wesen in "Plumed Serpent", known as Dämonfeuer, have [[Breath Weapon|fire breath]]. They apparently do this by vaporizing their fat, "vomiting" that vapor into the air, then somehow igniting it through static electricity. The family includes two flamethrower operators, a welder, and a fire dancer, so they obviously quite like fire.

* [[Poisoned Weapons]]: The {{spoiler|bullets}} in "Game Ogre" were poisoned.

* [[The Power of Blood]]: There are several kinds of potion that include blood of the maker and blood of the target as ingredients; these potions can only be cured by killing the person who made it. Furthermore, {{spoiler|if a Hexenbiest ingests the blood of a Grimm they [[Brought Down to Normal|become human]]}}.

* [[Product Placement]]:

** Nick runs up on this trope in "Beeware" when he has to protect Adalind from Melissa. In the eyes of the law, Melissa is a murderer, and he's a cop. In the eyes of the supernatural, Adalind is a Hexenbiest and Melissa a Mellifer, messenger and helper to Grimms. This time, Nick chooses the law.

** He faces this again in "Cat and Mouse" when {{spoiler|he let Ian, the head of the Resistance, go after Ian killed a defenseless man in front of Nick and had Monroe dump the body away from Rosalee's shop all to protect his friends. So in sum, he picked Good}}.

** He also pointedly warns the Geier in the clinic that he's ''NOT'' being a cop at that moment.

** In "Last Grimm Standing", it's revealed that Grimms have superior strength to that of ordinary humans, allowing Nick to easily defeat an adversary that several well-trained Wesen failed to do. Monroe's comment about digging down deep and channeling previous generations of Grimms could indicate that they might potentially have more abilities.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Melissa and her minions, killing Hexenbiests because they're evil.

* [[Wham! Episode]]: "Three Coins in a Fuchsbau". {{spoiler|Aunt Marie was once engaged to a Wesen, but had to break it off when her sister (also a Grimm) was killed by another Wesen, who had stolen coins she was protecting--coins responsible for Nero, Caligula, and the Third Reich}}. Also, [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|Hitler was a Wesen.]]

* [[Wham! Line]]: From "Love Sick".

{{quote|'''{{spoiler|Adalind}}:''' {{spoiler|You killed me}}.

* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Nick mixes Blutbaden with werewolves, and asks if he might need silver bullets.

{{quote|'''Monroe''': What, are you an ''idiot''?}}

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Renard}} to Leo in "Last Grimm Standing".

** Renard once again to {{spoiler|Adalind}} sort of.
