There is a certain pattern in Grimm concerning the way it deals with fairy tales. If they are not very well known, Grimm likes to play it fast and loose. Sometimes there is Далее to no connection to it, but sometimes the writers Показать (accidentally?) a surprisingly understanding for them, which might point to them spending some time thinking about the Источник text, instead of just slapping a fitting quote into a story they already had in mind. If the fairy tale in Вопрос is well known, the references are еще obvious and deliberate. But then the writers tend to go for Популярное believes...

I think it’s time to break in the Статья section of this spot – and what better to start with than with having a close look at the episodes of Grimm? I’ll do five categories: Reference Rundown will be about references to the Источник text for the episode, German Gebrabbel about the (mis)use of the German language, Highs and Lows about what aspects of the episodes particular stuck out to me positive или negatively, The Grimmoire which contains thoughts about the в общем и целом, общая arc, how the episode plays into it and some speculations and The Final Judgment about my rating of the episode.

And we are back to “Donkey Cabbage”. I will include references which were in “Island of dreams” because that’s where the story started.

Reference Rundown

1. In “Donkey Cabbage” a huntsman falls in Любовь with the daughter of a witch. Hank falls in Любовь with Adalind, who is the daughter of a witch, too.

2. The witch is the one who is pressuring her daughter into using the soldier. Even though Adalind is еще than willing to do what she does to Hank, she is also heavily influenced by her mother

3. The witch’s daughter gives the huntsman a drink in order to steal a bird...

Not a Grimm tale this time around, “Three Billy Goats Gruff” is of Norwegian origin. Which I’m very happy about, because Scandinavian (and Celtic and Russian for that matter) folklore is very colorful and very interesting. I hope we’ll get some еще stories from those corners of the world.

Reference Rundown

1.In both cases, the plot is about extortion related to a bridge

2. In the story, the troll ignores the lesser goats, focusing on the big one yet to come. In the episode Brutelli (nice name for a brute) focuses on the bigger threat, Nick, thus overlooking the witness he...

“Three Little Pigs” is not a Grimm fairy tale, but an English one. This episode takes a really interesting approach, by telling a kind of “what might happen next” stories. The story about doing things properly instead of taking the easy way out, about building a life on strong foundations, becomes a story about a круг of revenge. Nevertheless, the Источник text is very present in this episode.

Reference Rundown

1. The story about three brother pigs from which two are killed by a волк (yeah, the Дисней version is nicer, but the original version isn’t) is referenced in a Bauerschwein...

Author's note I don't own the songs
Tangled movie - Healing Incantation and I won't say I'm in Любовь from Hercules. They are Дисней owned but they work for how Zoey and Ariel feel at those moments. So enjoy

Zoey's pov

Zim and I went for a walk in the park the night air was calming.

"Z Ты haven't told me anything about yourself why is that?"

Fear crept into me I was liking Zim a lot he was different and it wasn't only because he was an alien. I felt as though I was alife again when I was near him. I bit my lip. No Zoey he wouldn't understand he can never know that your a vampire.

"I have my...

And we are back to English stories. And this time around, I have the feeling I’m missing some references. Not to the original story, but perhaps to the many adaptations? I’m fairly sure that Stark helping the old lady over the улица, уличный is a reference to something, but perhaps I’m simply paranoid. Oh well, here is what I came up with.

Reference Rundown

1. The man Stark killed is naturally called Jack

2. Stark’s fascination with Gold

3. “Stark” is German for strong

German Gebrabbel

Sometimes I’m wondering about the show. I get the idea behind giving the different animal Wesen...

I already mentioned once that whenever the writers go for Популярное fairytales, they tend to include the misconceptions about the fairy tale in their adaption. Here they tried to deconstruct the Золушка story. But what they ended up doing was deconstructing the Дисней version of the story.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the Дисней movie, but it is not what I would watch if I wanted to see a version true to the source, and it has еще или less buried what the original story really was about (though I don’t agree with the criticism the movie tends to get, but that’s another story)....

Zoey's pov

Zim helped me back up when he touch me I felt werid. Dib got me an ice pack, I place it on my head.

"Ok what is it Zo?" asked Dib.

"I have visions или jumps I really don't know what the hell they are they started comming on after my parnets were killed in front of me." I lied about that.

I wasn't going to tell the truth right now. I needed to see if I could trust them with my secert.

"What did Ты see...

Reference Rundown

- The Names: Dimitri Skantos as reference to the Greek origin of the Источник text, Leon Taymer (do I really have to explain this one?

- The Gladiator fights

- Monroe pulling out the nail out of Dimitri’s hand

German Gebrabbel

“Lowen” is simply the German word for “Lions” (“Löwen”, the singular would be “Löwe”) without the Umlaut. While the species of the other Wesen are not explicit mentioned in the episode, they are listed on the website. The rhino-like guy is a “Dickfellig”, which means literally “thick furry”. It seems to be combined out...
