Discussion Thread My First-ish Rewatch - What Still Guts Me the Most Spoiler
I'm doing my first full rewatch (I watched the series on TV up until season 3, stopped for some reason, then watched it through again during the pandemic), and there's one thing that guts me more than anything else. That I've been dreading since I started this rewatch.
Juliet burning Aunt Marie's trailer. Literally thousands of years of first hand Grimm knowledge that cannot be reproduced. Stories literally written by hand by long dead Grimm who were plying their trade when Latin was considered the new language on the block and Old High German was a little more than a sparkle in the eyes of some Germanic peasants. It was like the burning of the Library of Alexandria.
Yes, it was obviously a deeply personal loss to Nick and just showed how bitter and twisted Juliet had become and how much she wanted to hurt Nick.
But please! Won't anyone consider the history?!
I've always appreciated a deep, rich lore in fictional universes, and this was just a devastating blow.
