The announcement that the sixth season of Grimm would be its final season is a move that doesnt come as much of a surprise. NBCs managed to dig itself out of the hole it was in when the show first premiered, and it no longer has the same pressing need to retain its old yet steady performers. And given how long Grimm has carried the networks weight on Friday night and the loyal fanbase its built over the years, it stands to reason NBC would give David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf the courtesy of letting them know its the ending, and let the show finish on its own terms. Exactly what those terms are is an open question. For five seasons now Grimm has found a way to exist equally in the realms of episodic procedural and serialized drama, flitting between them but never committing to both. Its a show thats capable of making big strides when it wants to, and one that also seems to delight in finding a way to reset from those strides.

Theres never been a sense that Grimm is building to a major, long gestating conclusionif anything it feels like the writers have made it all up as they went along. Thats all well and good, and frequently a lot of fun on a weekly basis, but it doesnt provide a picture of how Grimm ends. Will the show bend over backwards to resolve its umpteen plot threads, or will it burn them all away to produce a glorious and centered final seasonThe shows predilection for the explosive finale means they always begin a new year picking through the shrapnel, and The Beginning Of The End left even more shrapnel than usual. The shattering of Hadrians Wall and Black Claw, Dianas ability to kill off enemies with the power of her mind, and twin resurrections by the Splinter of Destiny are all big developments, and Team Grimm is battered around by all of them. The episode is a bit bowed by its obligation to introduce a new status quo, especially with the knowledge of an end date that means it could be the last one they ever do. Its fairly easy for Grimm to locate at least part of this new status quo, as Renards ultra opportunist mind decides to capitalize on the power void and secure his mayoral authority by eliminating Nick. On paper, it makes perfect sense why Renard would become the final seasons Big Bad. Hes always been kept at arms length by the rest of Team Grimm with relationships that are uneasy truces at best, so his willingness to burn those relationships feels less contrived than a natural result of the distance. Greenwalt and Kouf also rely on Renards established character qualities to make his actions seem equal parts pragmatic and palliative, rather than simply malicious. Pinning events on Nick clears up a lot of questions, and also removes a reminder of a few actions hed rather not think aboutthoughts driven home by regular hallucinations of bloody hands and faces. Raising the stakes of Renards power means the team spends much of its time on the run, which unfortunately makes the premiere a largely joyless episode of Grimm. I guess its not really the time or the the place for anything remotely happy. Theres no real problem solving, only scrambling, which even if happening by narrative design isnt a lot of fun to watch. Much of the action is spent on our heroes running through darkened tunnels, trading rushed phone calls, or huddling around a table discussing magical artifacts. Moments of levity do existDanny Brunos welcome return as the terminally nervous Bud, Rosalee chopping off a corpses arm as a not that complicated way to break a cursebut theyre few in number and dont keep the endeavor from feeling disjointed. Reggie Lee, Russell Hornsby Image NBCSome of that disjointed nature comes from the fact that the Splinter of Destiny, having brought Nick back from the dead, has to take up the majority of their focus that isnt devoted to survival. Grimm spent so long treating the item as a Mac. Guffin even before they knew what it was, and now that its in the picture they cant stop investing it with otherworldly abilities. Theres talk of it cleansing souls, enabling some sort of passage between life and death, and a bunch of weird arcane symbols that manifest on its cloth cover to spell out the latest mystery. Even if some of those mysteries are intriguing, the lack of restraint means its feeling increasingly overpowered, running the risk of either taking over the show completely. All anyone can say about it is that they dont know what it is or they think its dangerous, a vagueness that doesnt exactly make for compelling television. Watch You`Re Next Torent Free. And of course, the Splinter also jolts some controversy by bringing Eve back from the dead, only its an Eve who seems closer to Juliette territory. The choice to settle on this hybrid of the twoa Julievette as it wereis a weak middle ground for the show, a further walking back of what at the time was Grimms most shocking and effective development. Grimms loyalty to its central cast is in some ways an endearing trait, but its also kept it from some of the heights of Greenwalts previous show Angel, a show that understood the lasting impact of death. Thankfully Fugitive doesnt make Julievette an unwelcome presence in the early going, opting to catch her up in the chaos rather than asking too many questions about her mindset, and also trapping her in the series most otherworldly sequence to date when shes pulled between life and death. And thankfully her experiences are also leading her to focus on the Splinter rather than any connection with Nick, as thats a love triangle none of us need. Bitsie Tulloch, David Giuntoli, Silas Weir Mitchell, Bree Turner Image NBCThe other locus of power that Grimm now has to deal with in full is Diana. Now with two kills to her name and her powers showing no signs of limitations, its beginning to seem that the series could potentially end with her wishing everyone right into the cornfield. Both Renard and Adalindthe latter still frustratingly confined to Renards mansion, isolating Claire Coffee from the majority of the castare uncomfortably aware of her power and unable to do anything about it. Like the Splinter, Diana has the impression of being kept in the hypothetical realm and speculated on for so long that the writers seem obligated to make her overpowered. What it does make clear though is that the often messy storytelling of Grimm will be difficult to cohere together into a satisfying ending. And thats not even touching on everything else they could call back to the other surviving Grimm, the last member of the Wesen Council, King Viktor and the entire royal family, or any number of one off escaped baddies that might return for a last hurrah. The scattered nature of Grimm is an oft endearing thing, the jurys still out on whether that trait will get in the way of it producing a satisfying conclusion. Stray observations Were back everyone You asked for it and were delivering, as The A. V. Club will give full coverage to Grimms final season. Looking forward to finishing the ride with the most loyal group of readers a critic like me could ask for. This Week In Portland We have actual addresses for the Grimm cast The Spice Shops Old TownChinatown location is confirmed, and Monroe and Rosalees house confirms long held suspicions by being set in Northeast Portland. Wus apartment building was shown in Northwest but is located in Southeast, and Nicks loft is in Northwest Industrial despite a rooftop view that clearly places it in Southeast. This Weeks Epigram Maybe this world is another planets hell. Aldous Huxley sets an appropriately bleak tone for the final season. Speaking of Monroe, Silas Weir Mitchell remains delightful in his enthusiasm for even the strangest things. At some point I want Monroe to try summarizing everything that has happened in Grimm up to this point, bouncing back and forth between plot points with that vaguely perplexed look on his face.
