My family and friends have called me thoughtless, senseless, worthless, clueless, and witless, but never brainless. Nick and Juliette took in a homeless, young, cute woman(my wife would never had agreed to that), with a long history of mental hospital and jailhouse stays. They gave her a cot and three hots, Juliette forced her to go shopping(probably for new clothes), and everyone listened to her life story story without judgement, something no one else had ever done before. It would take some time to unlearn her prior life style and habits-more than 1 week for sure. The books helped her learn about the different kinds of wessen and how to react to them. It took me longer than 3 weeks to learn how to drive. If someone had thrown me the keys and said have fun, I would not be typing today. Get a job(probably minimum wage) without a work history and getting a steady place to stay right away is a big order. Being a Grimm IS a dangerous thing, she had to learn both the good and bad sides.
eric, first let me apologize profusely. I was not calling you brainless. That was meant for the poster who likes to bluff and bluster his way into posts as the usual vying for attention without meanfully contributing to the debate. That *is not* you.
eric, you talked about learning to drive and how it couldn't be done in a day. Absolutely, positively correct. But......when you learned how to drive and were going all over in your car, how did that make you feel? I can tell you from the perspective of a person who took the bus to school and work for a total of 5 years, once I learned to drive, there was nothing like it for me. Such a normal, even mundane task. And yet, I love my car. I love being able to drive my car.
I think the grimm diaries are cool, but are those really keen and objective insights into wesen? Grimms are not objective so it seems to me any entries they make into a diary are going to be just as biased. So Nick tells Trubel about who she is, shows her some biased books, even lets her take one to her room with her.
But he never shows her how to drive a car in case she needs to make a hasty getaway?
