Discussion YMMV / Grimm

Just leaving this here since none of them have the required citation. Someone may wish to put them back up later with the given requirement.

• Unfortunate Implications:
  • Averted in "La Llorona". Despite a majority of the characters in the episode being Hispanic and the main victim even only speaking Spanish, never are they treated as potential border hoppers or otherwise suggested to be anything other than US citizens. Or in the case of the special guest star - who has a strong accent - another police officer from the US.
  • "Nameless" features a female game programmer who apparently did not write the innovative code for her game. Said female also blows off the person who helped her and it's suggested she Really Gets Around. While this is all well and dandy for any other situation, considering the relative lack of females in the game industry, much less female programmers, as well as the very much macho/boys club culture of the industry, this kind of portrayal only reinforces the anti-female attitude in the industry/diminishes legitimately great female game devs and female technical experts in any field.
  • In general, if a wesen comes from out of town, they are almost-certainly to be a murderous sociopath subscribing to "the old ways," while those who are native Americans are usually either law-abiding citizens or "ordinary" criminals.
  • Klaustreichen and Domestic Abuse: Klaustreichen are irresistible to women but abusive, which implies that the women have no choice about staying with them and the klaustreich's abuse is a racial trait instead of a personal failing. So nobody is personally responsible for the situation, it's just the way things happen.

I'm thinking of adding a "Growing the Beard" entry on this page. There's a couple of candidate episodes but I'm leaning towards Game Ogre for a couple of reasons. It was the first one to have a real threatening enemy that foreshadowed things like the spinnatods, the Nazi assasin from Cat and Mouse or the bat monsters from happily ever aftermath, and it also rescued Juliette and Hank from the scrappy heap.

The end of 'Leave It To Beavers' could arguably be a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming / Crowning Moment of Funny. After the conflict is resolved at the end of the episode, Nick and Juliette's house is chock full of presents from the other Eisbeber folk. Nick's face at seeing all the heartfelt tokens of thanks make it the CMOF.

I would like to nominate Eddie the Big Bad Wolf for Ensemble Darkhorse. Between his pilates and ripping that dude's arm off he is officially more interesting than the muggle lead actor.
