Again, using his weak character development, they could fight him on a number of issues. Mainly, his ineffectiveness as a Grimm. He's not an effective deterrent and his methods are extremely questionable. Then there's his very presence, which seems to escalate the situation into an attempted escape, which always results in someone getting hurt or killed.
I concur totally.

Leadership would be asking for a sit down with the wesen council and seeing if they could not start some sort of arbitration analogous to the ceasefire programs that have been started in some cities to curb gang violence.
But let's face it, so far Nick has not shown much ability to articulate a vision, look into the future and be a positive agent of change. None of which is required for his job as a police officer and in some cities such traits may have barred him from consideration so I do not expect it.
But it does make me think Juliette was thinking more with her little man in the boat than anything else when it first came to Nick. I mean really, what was she thinking?

Actually it means everything.
Quote:The fact that Nick deliberately shunned his law enforcement side and not only willingly, (but eagerly) embraced the Grimm side makes me wonder at the lack of character development.
One main question in my mind in all of this is.....just what is a Grimm? Nick's got some reference materials, but they are penned by Grimms. Now he's got Monroe, who basically tells him the rotten side of Grimms. Grimms are the monster stories wesen tell their kids. By the way, rescuing Monroe is a no brainer. Nick needs him for reference material.
So we have Nick throwing away not only his career, but his personal beliefs as well based on some old texts, old weapons, and potions in a trailer, as well as Monroe's horror stories. That seems just a little in the category of not the brightest bulb in the shed to me.
See, I have a hard time believing a man who has made this decision to become a Grimm also being able to retain his moral compass. Especially when he has so little to go by and so, is making up most of it as he goes along.
Exactly.
Quote:Poor character development or as Lin said, are we seeing the moral decline of a man?
I really think the last point could strongly elevate this series if that point because the resolution.

1-Nick. He is the catalyst in all of this. A catalyst who violated his sworn oath and his own principles. Regardless of whether he saved a thousand people, risked his life a million times, did countless charitable works, he is not true to himself or the public he swore to protect.
2. Renard. As captain he should lead by example, not by desire. However, he is a zauerbiest and I'm not sure what kind of a life he had growing up. Some of what he does could revert back to his childhood and the fact that he is considered the bastard of the family.
3. Hank-Not a good cop, but a follower. The minute Nick started pulling his shenanigans, Hank should have blown the whistle on him.
4. Wu-This is one man I really didn't like seeing turn into a follower of the Scooby cult.
Spot on! I don't think I need to post anymore, the deadly little jellyfish has it covered. She is awesome.
