Irukandji,
Thank you for the response. I agree with your comments about Truble, but somehow it makes me sad fro her, given her past. I guess I spent far to much time around martial artist and hard core military types who forgot that the purpose of both is ultimately to defend your life and those you care about, not a substitute for having a life of your own. I see it with some of the gym rats I know, they are exercising so hard for what precisely? So they can spend a couple of more years on a treadmill? We developed the idea of a civil society for a reason. Grimms and wesen are a throw back to feudal times in terms of their interactions. Nick's relationship with Renard, Monro, Rosalee and Bud demonstrated it does not have to be that way. I would just hope that someone Nick's age (be it Renard, Eve/Juliette, or Adalind, Monroe, or Rosalee) would tell Truble she still has a choice and does not have to walk this dark path.
I guess my point is, yes being a Grimm is the most important thing in her life...now. And if she goes down this path much more she may never be able to walk another path. But at this stage in her life she knows really nothing else. Other people around her have known something else and know there is more to life. Frankly I think it is darn sick, no one intervenes.

Even the cute scene between him and Kelly fell flat in my opinion because it was apparent that Nick was completely thinking of himself. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at his baby and asked him if he could say or spell Grimm. (I can't recall which one he said). Either one, it just made Nick look more like a selfish doofus than ever.
It is not so much that, my dearest little JellyFish, it is more I am just desirous of seeing fatherhood portrayed on the screen as the redemptive and transformational experience it can be for "wayward/immature/arrested adolescent" males.
I agree, the idea that he would wish the Grimm life on his son is simply sick.
I study the old west a bit, and it amazes me how many people wanted to be caught or picked a fight they knew they would lose, just because they were tired of running, hiding, and always looking over their shoulder.
Most pleasant regards...
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
