Dissociative Identity Disorder S2E8: The Other Side

Okay- so in this episode, a teen boy named Pierce is getting ready to compete in the academic decathlon when his teammates start getting killed. At first the evidence points towards his mother, but then it turns out it was him and he doesn't remember any of it. This is because his mother (a scientist/doctor) altered his DNA in utero to give him an "edge." This resulted in him having a very severe case of Dissociative Identity Disorder. One personality, Pierce, is a Genio Innocuo, a gentle, intelligent and rare wesen. But his other personality, due to his mothers interference, is a Lowen, who believes it is his job to make sure Pierce is the best, and was killing his teammates to wipe out the competition. 

Now, what I want to know is, would Pierce have had DID had his mother not altered his DNA? Did she turn his alter into a Lowen, or did she split his mind, creating a Lowen alter, because the one personality cannot hold both wesen at once? 

It's just so fascinating- I mean I can't be the only one watching this show through a psychological lens! What do you think?

Hank's Trust in Nick! S1E1: Grimm Pilot

  Nick and Hank have only known each other/been partners for about a year, and here they are, in the woods in the middle of the night, Nick is rubbing plants on Hank, having them walk under the bridge, through the water, and interrogating a chicken pot pie and embroidered pillow making ceramic doll collector about the kidnapping of a little girl. And Hank sticks by Nick, even though Nick already accused the wrong man once. He trusted Nick, and when it turned out Nick was right, Hank didn't do any of that "no I must be wrong" denial thing, he immediately turns and goes after the guy. So much respect for Hank, Nick and the Captain as cops.

And So It Begins! S1E1: Grimm Pilot

  And so it begins! My grandma and I have officially restarted Grimm. It's always so weird seeing everyone so young, especially Nick! He had suchhhh a baby face! Early Nick and Juliette is one of my favorite things about this show.  The Trailer:     So- throughout the six seasons of this show, so many questions about this trailer come to light. First of all, how on earth do they drive it without anything falling or breaking?? I mean there are dozens of glass bottles and none of them break! Even when he drives it into the woods, which could not have been a smooth ride. Also, the amount of times Nick, Monroe, Hank and Wu are eating fast food, fries, cheeseburgers, and drinks, while reading those books! with no care about clean hands and keeping grease, salt and condensation away from the priceless historic Grimm books.  Monroe:     It always hits me in this episode how early on it is for everyone. Nick has only been a detective for about a year and hadn'...

The Dad S2E2: Bears will be Bears

  I had so much respect for the dad in this episode. He had no idea what was going on, and he didn't believe in the old world traditions of the Jägerbars, but as soon as he learns what his wife and son are up to, he helps Nick put a stop to it. No hesitation. Not a lot of people would do that.
