Me, personally, I'd like to see a Grimm take on Gawain and the Green Knight!

They've somehow managed to avoid Snow White so far (though I feel the S2 finale, with Nick poisoned and undead, should have capitalized on that one) so I'd definitely like to see that one. I'd also like to see them do selkies, and something with Native American skinwalkers.

Er. . . wasn't Juliette being in the coma and awakened by the kiss of a prince Snow White? And the mermaid episode was pretty much the same as skelkies. And Windego are from Native American lore. How about "Mollie Whuppie" or "The Nine Dancing Princesses" or "Tam Lin" or "The Princess & the Pea"? "Hans My Hedgehog."

I would like to see more tales from Native American lore, there are more than just wyndigos. Also, perhaps something historically American, like the Jersey Devil.

Juliette's coma was Sleeping Beauty. And look at Nick -- he's totally Snow White. Mmmm, mermaids and selkies are not at all the same creature or story. Wendigos and Skinwalkers may come from similar origins, but they aren't the same creature. I love the idea of a Wesen that could change its appearance at will. And the Wendigos were a total letdown in the scare department, so I'd like to see them really deliver something frightening.

I've put in a request for The Princess and The Pea before, so now I'll do it again.
How about The Ugly Duckling; with the 'human' side being hideous and the wesen form beautiful. Be an interesting twist to have the beautiful wesen be evil. This isn't a fairy tale, but the Robin Hood character from folklore could be worked into an interesting episode, maybe two. Always liked the moral lessons of The Tortoise and the Hare, and it would be fun to see a tortoise-like wesen go up against a rabbit-type wesen somehow. Or maybe a wesen sibling rivalry, with one being methodical and slow and the other reckless.

In the episode, the mermaids couldn't reproduce with their own kind and needed human men for that. That's the same as selkies. How is Nick "Snow White"? Who is the Wicked Stepmother? Who are the Seven Dwarfs? Who is the Prince?

Aside from his pale complexion and dark hair, I see no resemblance between Nick and Snow White.

How about the story of the Six Swans?
