What We Talk About When We Talk About Folklore

A couple of days ago, I dug out my copy of The Complete Fairytales of the Brothers Grimmand started to read it, and I’ve noticed some interesting things about witches and magic in them.

Fairytale witches are pretty much Always Chaotic Evil, but what’s interesting is that the protagonists are…

Yeah, we’re completely and entirely hooked! 

Some of you may think I’m crazy, but Grimm is actually a REALLY good show.  Like, REALLY good.  I tuned in and thought it was just going to be another poorly written, cheesy show with bad acting.  And ok, it has its moments (its about real-life fairy tail characters, after all) but in general its super well done.  Ten times better than its ABC counterpart, Once Upon Awful Scripts.
