I’m assuming final approval would come from G, K & C which means if an episode is crap it was approved by G, K & C.(06-12-2016, 04:17 PM)Robyn Wrote: I’m going to disagree because of the numerous episodes that contributed nothing to character evolvement and/or the Wesen uprising arc.Well I don't know these blokes from Adam, I have no idea if they are somebodies, hasbeens or never wases. Judging by the cast I would lean toward also rans, but what do I know? My point though is, unless these guys are heavy weights they probably were brushing up their resume, working their contact list, making calls, pushing new scripts and ideas and doing what they could to see some money rolling in in 2017.
But maybe G & K insisted on specific stories/episodes because “they’re cool ideas” and the writers did the best they could with the time they had.
And based on the reasoning above, I really am not hopeful for the next season. I really hope they is dare to be bold, take a few risks and take a run at the gold, but my guess is the writers have already moved beyond Grimm mentally and are already working on formulating their new series. Whatever they churn out for Grimm will be slipshod fun ideas or low hanging fruit. In other words they are likely now writing Grimm looking at is through the rear view mirror with their attention fixed on the road ahead and new horizons. That simply is human nature.
If the show runners want to forsake the season arc or character development for Wesen of the week episodes then that’s what these guys are paid to write about. And you’re probably right, these writers are freelance and dipping their ink in numerous wells as opposed to one show that may or may not last another season.
