Line 170:
* [[Game Face]]: All Wesen have one, though only Nick and the other Grimms can see it.
** Marie says that the creatures can be seen for what they are when they "lose control", although it appears that they can also make a deliberate effort to show their inhuman aspect, or suffer momentary [[Glamour Failure]] that reveals their true nature to Nick. Unlike other instances though, the various creatures don't seem to actually transform physically—if they do, then their morph form remains hidden even for non-Grimms/non-creatures and they don't seem to have any real physical benefits for showing their [[Game Face]]; their strength and other abilities are as natural to them as breathing.
** Good evidence for this is seen with the JägerbarsJägerbärs and Mellifers; the former are shown holding and using a bear-like weapon while Nick's book shows the Mellifer's sting as a large device. Using more-than-human abilities however seems to force (or require) some amount of transformation or diversion of energy though this also varies with the person in question. Adalind and Monroe, both of whom regularly engage in non-human activities, demonstrate considerable physical ability with no transformations while the family of bears (who have suppressed their non-human natures) seem to prefer transformation for any sort of show of ability.
** While Nick himself doesn't seem to have one, most Wesen he encounters are able to identify him as a Grimm. Since this generally only occurs after Nick has seen a given Wesen's [[Game Face]], this may be based on his reaction more than anything else. On the other hand, its entirely possible that Nick's presence might inadvertently ''trigger'' their [[Game Face]], alerting them to the fact he's a Grimm.
** Monroe suggests that non-Grimms/non-creatures can indeed see their [[Game Face]] if the creature in question wants them to. However, he also points out that doing so is usually a bad thing if only because humans generally aren't prepared for the sudden shock to their [[Weirdness Censor]].
Line 231:
* [[Meaningful Name]]:
** Gilda Darner is the name of the victim of the week in a Goldilocks-themed story. Gilda as gilded or gold. She also is a blonde.
** More groan-worthy is the young JägerbarJägerbär named Barry. Whose last name is Rabe, an anagram of "bear".
** One of Barry's friends JägerbarJägerbär friends is named 'T.B.', as in 'Teddy Bear'.
** In light of [[The Reveal]] at the end of the pilot, one must wonder about Police Captain [[Fantastic Foxes|Renard]]...
** In "Beeware", the Queen Bee of the Mellifers is Melissa, which means "honey bee" in Greek.
