* The RetCon of how Grimms develop makes perfect sense, if you assume the version Monroe told Nick in the Pilot is misinformation spread by the Grimms themselves. After all, what better way to prevent the systematic hunting of Grimms than spreading the rumour that killing one Grimm only creates another?

* The Other dimension is simply a world without Grimms. The entire place is overrun by predatory Wesen apart from primitive, highly-fortified human settlements, the inhabitants of which appear to see Nick as a godlike figure for having killed a Blutbad. This is what happens without Grimms to keep the predatory Wesen population down and motivated to play nice; human culture is entirely centred around survival without ever having the chance to develop.



** We see a hint of this in "One Angry Fuchsbau". Said ziegevolk is a lawyer with few scruples. Not only does he supercharge his abilties, he uses his abilities to effectively completely reverse people's memories of an event.

** He, uh, wasn't exactly stable. He seemed to think that if he got close enough to Nick and acted enough like a Grimm, Nick's Grimmness would somehow pass to him. Good planning was clearly not his forté.

* It seems like a coincidence that, of all the Chiefs of Detectives in the US, Nick's Chief turns out to be a Royal/ Zauberbiest. However, Renard knew enough about Aunt Marie to send assassins after her on her first night in Portland, so who knows what he knew about Kelly Burkhardt? Maybe enough that when a cop surfaces with the same name, it seems worth Renard's while to recruit him to his department. Renard may have been waiting for Nick to become a Grimm from day one... and even if he doesn't, he might be a useful bargaining chip against his Grimm relatives.
** How did Renard know Nick had become a Grimm and he needed to act? Adalind. She probably called as soon as she was out of Nick's sight to tell him about the cop Grimm she saw. Even if Renard ''wasn't'' specifically waiting for Nick to turn, Adalind got a good look at him and probably gave a detailed enough description to identify him anyway. Renard probably knew about Nick before he returned to the station.

*** In addition to this, Adiland used magic cookies to make Hank enraptured by her. That has some date rape drug vibes and is definitely a violation of his autonomy. Nick didn't exactly have a lot of options to save Hank. As was said, we understand Nick's reasons and intentions. The situation is more like calling it murder because the police had to shoot a hostage taker in the head.

** And on top of that, Grimms are intimately linked with the [[DeadlyDecadentCourt royal politics of the Wesen world.]] There probably *are* laws and traditions about what Grimms can do for a career.

* While it seems like a questionable jump in "[[Recap/GrimmS4E12Marechaussee Marechaussee]]" for the Wesen Council to decide to place a bounty on Nick when this is the third or so encounter with their business, it also follows the events of the Wesenrein arc. During the early season 4 episodes building to that confrontation, Rosalee notes that while officially the Council is against that group and its blood purity views, there are some on the council who secretly support it. Even in Portland, Bud was shocked to learn his chiropractor is a member of this hate group. So, it is likely then those who are sympathetic to the blood purity views didn't like Nick's involvement in what they view as a sacred and needed part of Wesen culture, to say nothing of Monroe's continuing helping him, and now used his involvement in stopping their mercenary to justify putting the bounty on him in the first place. They want vengeance for his continued messing with Wesen traditions and screwing the way of things. After all, without Nick, Rosalee and Monroe wouldn't have met or wed.

** Because the audience knows what Nick's intentions are and that his only goal is to get her to consume some of his blood. Consider that the only reason it has AttemptedRape vibes is because the individual sees a man being aggressive towards a woman and ending up on top of her. Which was the end of both of them fighting to kill each other. Would you view it the same had it been any other combination of fighters?

** It's also possible that it was accidentally put on repeat when she was killed. Like the breaking the watch reason, the watch ends up breaking due to a major impact. While thrashing about, the iPod may have accidentally had a button hit that put put the song on repeat.

** There were definite AttemptedRape vibes. A man pinning a woman down, forcing sexual contact in order to strip her of her power? Yeah, it doesn't get any more blatant than that. I find it very disturbing that people seem to gloss over Nick's sexual assault while at the same time condeming Adalind for [[spoiler: raping Nick later on.]] Nick's act to get rid of Adalind's power is actually listed in the Awesome page, while Adalind's actions to rid Nick of his power is strictly always talked about negatively, when both should be condemned.

* The turns Adalind and Juliette make though both avoidable are understandable when you realise Juliette's worst quality is a lack of faith, while Adalind's best is that she'd do anything for those she sees as family. The accidental conception hits Juliette's weakest points and forces Adalind to use her best point. Juliette's lack of faith is what in the end destroys the relationship. Her actions are what put it beyond repair. And Adalind choosing Nick and his friends as her family is what cements her heel-face turn.

* The Season 6 episode "Breakfast in Bed" features a Wesen that feeds on chemicals produced during sleep and causes insomnia, and the prime suspect for most of the episode is a wheelchair-bound old man. When the culprit turns out to be someone else, he woges into a [[RedHerring red herring-like Wesen]] and laughs maniacally. Sneaky.

* Black Claws whole plan to win Renard the Mayor position seems to hing on selling him as a wholesome family man, and forcing Adalind and her kids to play the part, but what about all the people who have known Renard. Why doesn't anyone in the prescient question how none of them knew about a wife and two kids? especially since Diana looks to be somewhere around 6-9 (despite really being about a year old). It's heavily implied that Black Claw has more than enough reach to fudge things like Birth and Marriage certificates, but all it would take is one or two people from Reynards "normal" life to come forward and say "hey the chief never mentioned a kid before now" or "Hey wasn't that Adalind chick the reason Burkheart broke up with that Juliette chick awhile back? Didn't they have an epic fight right in the middle of the station?". How is it no one is remembering any of this and calling out the whole happy family charade?
