Talking about our preferences is different from how we see the story unfolding. I see that the two are getting mixed together and it's becoming harder to see which is what.
This is really what people should have been doing all along, because our preferences don't make much difference, if any, in what the show is going to do. And they probably shouldn't, either, because the showrunners could run themselves ragged trying to satisfy all the fans' preferences, would never be able to, and the result would look like bad fan fiction....
It's better to have a story, tell it and then live or die on the result rather than keep changing course trying to hit on something that will magically jack up ratings. Because nothing ever magically jacks up ratings.
We all have our preferences for everything, but that shouldn't dictate the direction of the show. I have seen shows that pander to a particular group and it's not pretty. It's not to say what's happened to Grimm is any better, this show has its own problems without adapting many others from elsewhere. If writers are left to write the story they originally intended, we stand to gain more with plausible characterisations, story cohesion and risk little deterioration in quality, but only if the writers remain true to their initial vision. Sometimes this doesn't work and change is necessary, I'm much more responsive to that than random redirections without tying previous threads.
BC should have been linked to the royals somehow and the wesen revolution should have lead to a massive reveal of the wesen community and we should have seen a whole new world of kehrseites dealing with the supernatural and Grimms publicly coming out as the line of defense between bad wesen and the humans etc....
