I’d like to be either a pflichttreue or a damonfuer, but I feel like I’d actually be an eisbiber.

Day 16: Most Terrifying Big Bad
The only one that’s coming to mind is The Royals, but that’s mostly due to me not really remembering any of the other antagonists.

Day 17: One-Off Character You Wish Had Come Back
Ariel Eberhart! The episode ending shows us that she isn’t done with Nick. I would have liked to see Juliette react to her after knowing more about the world, I think that could have been an interesting confrontation.
Day 18: Oh, there’s so many (I have a low tolerance for horror, okay)……….but the ones I think have grossed me out the most would have to be Tarantella (1×11), Quill (2×4), Mr Sandman (2×15), A Dish Best Served Cold (3×3), Red Menace (3×8), Mommy Dearest (3×14), Silence of the Slams (5×13), and Good to the Bone (5×18).
Day 22: Season 3 is my favourite season, so I obviously have to go with this one. Really my only reason for this being my favourite finale is Monroe and Rosalee’s wedding. I love them so much.
Omg, I LOVE this question, although there are so many great locations to choose from that I also HATE this question, hahaha. I’ve lived in Portland for 24 years and absolutely adore this city, so many of the locations are meaningful to me.
My #1 choice has to be the St. John’s Bridge, which is the backdrop to many scenes on the show. The bridge is actually in way North Portland, and isn’t something that the characters would have much reason to be around, but it’s just such a gothic, atmospheric beauty, with the trees of Forest Park looming behind it – how could they not center it in the series? (It plays a central role in Colin Meloy’s Wildwood books as well.)
My #2 choice is the mysterious house from the pilot and the finale. (I’ve heard conflicting reports about its location, so I’ve never seen it myself.) There’s something primordial about this house that takes us right back to the original Grimm Fairy Tales. Because it hints back to the origin of the Grimm tales AND the origin of the Grimm series, it’s both enjoyably creepy and significant.
Weird fact: I drove my Nick and Juliette’s house a million times without ever realizing it was theirs. I only discovered it when I looked up the address online. It just never stood out to me somehow, which probably speaks to its authenticity – a lot of houses in Portland look like that.
Some other fave locations: In S1 E11 Tarantella, Nick and Monroe have coffee on a park bunch together in front of a 100yo building called Centennial Mills. The building has since been almost completely torn down, so this is a nice reminder. In S3 E3 A Dish Best Served Cold, the investigation centers around the old Bauerschwein-Blutbad feud in a real-life restaurant called The Raven and Rose. I actually had tickets to watch the episode live at the restaurant but didn’t feel good so I didn’t go (GAH!). S1 E15 Island of Dreams had a cool scene of an opium den kind of thing that was shot fairly close to where I lived at the time.
Wasn’t sure if this referred to something Monroe said or an actual character trait of his, but I’m going to go with the former. Even though we don’t see him playing the cello often, it speaks so much to Monroe’s internal struggle: it’s a dark, soulful instrument, which speaks to both his wild and civilized natures.
I love how it refers back to the beautiful, darkly romantic song from the closing credits. (Aside: I wish there was a 5-minute version of that closing song.)
Sadly I couldn’t find a gif or clip of this, but it has to be “Woah, look out! They just ate a baby. Well, that’s rude.” It’s probably my second favourite quote from the show (“Does anything not end in death?” is the first.)
On October 28th, 2011, the weird little show that could aired its first ever episode on NBC. It’s hard to believe, but the 10th anniversary of that day is almost upon us! To celebrate we’re doing 28 days of Grimm, and we want you to get involved!
So for the next 28 days, please tell us…
You can make a post or send an ask, and we’ll be answering and reblogging throughout the month! Just be sure to mention your ask is for the 28 Days of Grimm, and tag your posts with #28daysofgrimmversary so we can find them!
