This is the 6th and final season of Grimm! There are only 13 episodes this season and the season started January 6, 2017. This rest of the intro is copied from last season's thread OP written by Stabbey_the_Clown. I've made some changes but I'll try to fix the links and update as time allows. Grimm is a fantasy/horror police procedural, which has took the premise: “What if the classic fairy tales are based on real creatures living in human society” and expanded it into a fairly well-grounded mythology spanning centuries. One day, Portland detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) started seeing visions of humans changing into strange creatures. His (dying) aunt, Marie Kessler, told him that he is one of a long line of hunters known as “Grimms” who can see the true forms. Aunt Marie left Nick her trailer of weapons, equipment, and a library on many creatures, which Nick uses to solve Wesen-related crimes. The Brothers Grimm were not just collectors of stories and folklore, but profilers of the Wesen (pronounced VES-sen), a variety of creatures that have been living and passing as humans. Many Wesen have extra abilities, such as super-human strength or resilience which can make them dangerous. Others are generally harmless, content to live ordinary lives among humans. Ordinary humans can’t see Wesen – unless the Wesen want to be seen. Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli) “Decapitare… I think I like that.” Nick is the titular Grimm – a veteran detective, who awakened to his Grimm powers in the pilot episode. He’s struggled with balancing behaving as a normal cop with his ancestral reputation, which was more like decapitate first, ask questions later. Hank Griffin (Russell Hornsby) “Hearing the truth isn’t the problem. It’s seeing and not being able to explain that pushes you over the edge.” Hank is Nick’s partner on the police force. He’s been married multiple times, and has a rather laid-back personality. He’s gotten pretty good at helping Nick with the Grimm side of things. Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) “To take on a Lausenschlange and a Klaustreich at the same time? That takes some really large – well , figuratively in her case – cajones.” Monroe (a Blutbad) was the first Wesen that Nick talked to after getting his powers, and provides Nick with help and assistance with various Weasen-related cases. They grew to be close friends. Through one of Nick’s cases, he met Rosalee, and they were married in the season 3 finale. That proved to have a downside however, as the local Portland chapter of the Wesen KKK captured Monroe, planning to torture and execute him for his marriage outside his Wesen type. The gane all banded together to save him, but he still experienced some PTSD from the experience. Capt. Sean Renard (Sasha Roiz) “Well I am Royal, and I can be a bastard.” Renard survived his shooting at the hands of a Verrat FBI agent thanks to the last-minute intervention of his Hexenbiest mother Elizabeth Lascelles (Louise Lombard). The technique she did saved his life, but because he had flatlined for a whole five seconds, that allowed the spirit of Jack the Ripper to possess him. Yes, really. It didn’t do much until near the end of the season, after which it killed a few Wesen prostitutes. Nick and company tricked the spirit into thinking Renard had died… again, and now Renard is himself again. Sgt. Drew Wu (Reggie Lee) “…and normally I’d make a joke about diapers, but frankly: not in the mood.” Sergeant Drew Wu is a colleague of Nick and Hank, and typically serves as the officer-on-scene who tells Nick and Hank what they’re about to find. Wu is first on the scenes of often gruesome crimes, and he uses snark and sarcasm to describe them. He was finally brought into the loop in Season 4 and has become another solid member of the team. Rosalee Calvert (Bree Turner) “...we both hate this. And if you can’t build a relationship on hate…” Rosalee is a Fuchsbau who runs a tea and spice shop, and acts as a Wesen apothecary. She was married to Monroe at the end of Season 3. Adelind Schade (Claire Coffee) “Figure [out how you can help me]. Because one day I’ll stop crying.” UGGGHHH. Adalind is a Hexenbiest lawyer. Well, the lawyer part hasn’t come up since about the third episode of Season 1. Claire Coffee is apparently the producer’s most favoritest person ever, and so the goddamn show continues to make basically every single main plot thread revolve around her. She’s a good actor, granted, but the problem is that Adalind is so loving stupid it hurts. Also, she’s a serial rapist. She bewitched and raped Hank in Season 1 to try and get leverage on Nick. That cost her her Hexenbiest powers, thus creating the plot tumors that infested Season 2. In Season 2, the curse which she put onto Renard and Juliette started to drive Renard mad with lust for Juliette, and she used Renard’s altered state of mind to satiate her desire for him (Rape number 2.) That ended up creating a baby, which was the cause of the Season 3 AND Season 4 plot tumors. In Season 3, her baby was the ping-pong ball which served as the focal point of several groups interested in finding it. In order to get it back from the Royals who she thought had the baby (they didn’t), they ordered her to get rid of Nick, which she did by surprise, surprise, raping him while disguised as Juliette. That robbed Nick of his Grimm powers for a whopping 8 episodes or so, but also created the “Juliette becomes a Hexenbiest somehow” plot tumor, which resulted in Juliette going insane and then getting killed. Teresa “Trubel” Rubel (Jacqueline Toboni) “I like the queen [chess piece]. She saved my life once. … I jammed her into a Coyotal’s neck when he attacked. We were playing chess at the Mildord State Mental Hospital. They were not happy with me for that.” Teresa Rubel (who goes by the nickname “Trubel”) is a young Grimm who had no one around to tell her that she was a Grimm. Ever since she started seeing Wesen, she thought she was going crazy. When Nick and Monroe discovered her in Portland, she was grateful to learn that she was not insane. Nick took her under her wing and started teaching her about the Wesen world. Trubel is rash and reckless, but has good instincts, and recognizes when she’s made mistakes. Bud Wurstner (Danny Bruno) “I want to save those kids just as much as the rest of you. I’m just not exactly wishing that we might encounter the most hideous beast no one’s ever seen.” Bud is an Appliance repairman. He’s a friend to Nick and Monroe, and occasionally helps them out with Nick’s cases. Juliette Silverton (Bitsie Tulloch) “[Our life] has been screwed up by what you are. I don’t think I can take it anymore.” DEAD. Okay, fine. As some kind of really stupid side-effect which happened from the ritual needed to restore Nick’s Grimm powers, Juliette transformed into a Hexenbiest because uh, - HEY LOOK OVER THERE! A BUTTERFLY!! But not just ANY Hexenbiest, but a super-ultra-powerful special snowflake Hexenbiest which is super awesome and could beat Adalind in a fight easily. She seemed to adapt okay at first despite the terrible shock. But then when she revealed what happened to Nick, and he wasn’t willing to immediately kiss her corpse-face, she snapped and went all evil, going increasingly out of control. That culminated in conspiring with the royals to get Adalind’s first baby back from Nick’s mother. That resulted in Nick’s mother getting killed. Off-screen. She eventually came back to face Nick. Nick couldn’t bring himself to kill her, but Juliette attacked him anyway, and Trubel killed Juliette.

I raged quit this show at the beginning of season five. I glanced at the wiki and feel like I've made the right decision.

So Juliette may not be dead, or that seemed to be something they were hinting at in the first couple episodes of this season with Eve acting not as  as she normally is but they probably won't do anything with it. Why? Because now apparently Nick and Adalind are ~in love~.Rape makes the world go round in this show. Also Trubel is gone...again so that sucks

I enjoyed Renard taking a shot at getting his omnipotent daughter to just kill Nick for him, and just kind of shrugging it off when she didn't take the bait.

Did the red guy at the end of tonight's episode make sense to anyone? I don't know if we've forgotten a wesen or if that was just more of the same anarchic nonsense as the head biting hippo.

I kinda like Adalind. When she isn't being written to be hollow and vulnerable for some reason when she was kind of a badass at first? Also, hank in the mirror in this last episode was the funniest thing this show has ever done probably.

Adalind is better this season but ultimately the situation that lead to her being here is so loving stupid and terrible most people can't let it go I think. I mean she hosed Juliet over so.. loving.. hard. Raped her fiance, drove her mad, got her to murder Nick's mom and destroy his family heirlooms, get personality wiped.. and everyone just kind of forgave that. gently caress that.

If I had to sum it up it'd be "Who knew all it'd take to make the show go back to being the kind of fun it used to be is getting canceled?" They definitely feel like they're going out on their A game, because really everything they've done this season feels like it's really tonally consistent with earlier seasons and not the PURE loving poo poo that things devolved into for a while. Hell it probably wouldn't be the last season if it kept this up. I don't know if the deadline took pressure off people or what, but everyone really feels "on" in a way they haven't for a few years. Also the cases have been pretty fun too, another thing that was trash for a while. This show may have had one of the sharpest drops in quality I've ever seen but it's nice to see them going out with their head held high.

If I had to sum it up it'd be "Who knew all it'd take to make the show go back to being the kind of fun it used to be is getting canceled?" I think it's a situation where they had their endgame in mind (the key/stick plot), but not much of an idea of what to do to kill time before they kicked it off. Hence the idling storylines and the complete abandonment of the key plot for seasons at a time. Once they got the "final season" notice, they could confidently move into their endgame, which I agree has been about as good as the show ever was. In short, I think they probably had 3-4 seasons worth of story that they had to stretch across 6 seasons of TV.

I almost feel bad for the show given nobody's watching it anymore. They really did gently caress up royal (and gently caress up the royals, for that matter) but honestly the they're at least going out on a high note, even if it is ripping off The Terminator. Good choice of actor to play the final main villain too. He was really solid in Jessica Jones and if you're going to rip off the Terminator, having someone who can pull off said rip off is a good thing; he's doing it.

Good job with Hank and Wu that Nick's stick (or possibly the staff) can resurrect them afterwards? If it was only Wu that had died I would have thought that was it for the character, but Hank as well? Gotta be nope.

I'm thinking the 13 episode season is helping a lot. I usually like the monster of the week stuff but most of the time the long running storylines just draaaaagged on. I'm thinking the half season length forced them to cut all the extraneous poo poo.
