Monroe marking his territory right there on screen will forever be the weirdest thing this show has done.

Ah, that first sweep over that little blue house with the yellow Volkswagon in the driveway. Little did we know. LITTLE. DID. WE. KNOW.
It just strikes me every time when Hank makes that crack about kids not doing what their parents say all the time, I would bet you almost anything that Nick Burkhardt didn’t even CONSIDER directly disobeying Marie.
Honestly, this pilot is in retrospect one of the best I’ve ever seen. Yeah, the pacing is a little clunky and awkward, and they clearly don’t have the mechanics of Grimms figured out completely yet, but that episode still perfectly sets the tone of the show and kicks off the long game as well as the week-to-week formula.
There’s just a TON of stuff packed in there that sets the DNA for the entire series. The keys, most of the members of Team Grimm, the scenery of Portland, Wu’s quips, the somewhat on-the-nose writer puns and fairy tale allegories, the partnership between Nick and Monroe, even iconic repeat shots like a ground-to-sky view of the trees or Nick opening the weapons cabinet.
That was Nick’s first ever shooting on the job. Within a year, he’ll be proficient at beheading people.
We have the ability to see what no one else can. When they lose control, they can’t hide, and we see them for what they truly are.
Poor Nick. He’s a homicide detective with a healthy relationship and a nice house. Then suddenly his aunt is dying and he’s seeing terrifying creatures everywhere he goes, and apparently he has a whole damn destiny that’s coming for him.
Oh wow the pilot’s logo was so bad. xD
There are things you don’t know. Things about your family.
Two things I never really noticed on other watches: what the hell was with the dog sounding like it was dying on Nick’s street when he was coming home? And NICK WAS PLANNING TO PROPOSE TO JULIETTE THAT NIGHT BEFORE MARIE SHOWED UP.
