‘Grimm’ Season Finale: First Look at Burkhardt Being Held Hostage
You don’t play nice when global domination is your goal.
On the May 20 two-hour season finale of NBC’s Grimm, Portland detective Nick Burkhardt (David Giuntoli, near left) is held hostage by the insanely powerful Conrad Bonaparte (Shaun Toub), leader of the terrorist Wesen group Black Claw.

“Bonaparte will do anything to get hold of a valuable artifact—the Grimm lineage book—that’s in Nick’s possession,” says showrunner David Greenwalt. “This will give Black Claw the upper hand it needs for their revolution.” To secure the prize, Bonaparte gets inside Nick’s head, literally. “It’s an epic showdown,” Greenwalt adds. “Our fans are going to see Nick at his most vulnerable.”

What we really want to see is Nick at his most powerful. Does anyone else feel he's been rather wimpy? Whatever happened to his super hearing or his ability to fain death but not die? First Juliette overcomes him, now Bonaparte. I thought this was GRIMM, but lately it hasn't been. I'm not trying to be disrespectful and I like Dave's acting. He's been great! Just wish they wouldn't play him as the victim!

To be fair though, against Juliette, I think just couldn't bring himself to kill her. Hexenbiests are very strong, but not as strong as Grimms, for example in their first battle, Adalind was able to go toe to toe with Nick until he eventually gained the upper hand and defeated her, and this was against someone who he despised (at the time). Against Juliette, the woman he loved (at the time) fighting her despite the fact that she had his mother murdered, would be almost impossible.

Season 1 and 2 were great but since then it's gone downhill. This season has been more of a soap opera. I would love to see it get back to it's roots but I doubt that will ever happen. What happened to Nick's "ghosting" they played up then just dropped? Too many inconsistencies in this show.

I know, right. What happen to Zombie Nick? All we get is wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.

I think this is the calm before the storm. Nick is going to unleash his inner Grimm and wool ass. I just want him to love Adalind in the end!

It will probably be Eve(Juliette) who rescues him, thereby paving the way for them to get back together.

Or Eve will be the big bad next season. That was talked of in times past. Also I think her the Captain are the perfect couple now that he's taking down Black Claw from the inside ;).

In the above pic, how is Nick (Giuntoli) on the "near left"? Not even close!
