Grimm Pilot + Moments that made me personally go feral

  1. The opening quote and music
  2. The first time we and Nick saw someone woge
  3. The freaky dream
  4. The first weapons cabinet shot!
  5. Oh my god…HE’S the real little red riding hood in this story šŸ¤ÆšŸ¤ÆšŸ¤Æ
  6. The first time we ever saw Monroe!!!
  7. I still can’t believe they made “marking territory” a canonical thing and showed it on screen
  8. The birth of Monhardt
  9. SWEET DREAMS ARE MADE OF THIS…
  10. The reveal that Nick’s captain (not yet named) is nefarious!!!

Things I always forget when I rewatch the Grimm pilot:

  • Nick bought a ring! For Juliette! And never got to ask her.
  • The lighting department was IN LOVE with David’s eyes.
  • Nick was gonna ask Juliette to marry him but it didn’t seem like he’d made any special plans for it? Or did they just get derailed by Marie’s visit?
  • It was apparently so cold in Nick’s house his breath was fogging up wtf?
  • DEAD FROG IN THE MICROWAVE?!?! NICK SAY MORE WORDS I NEED AN EXPLANATION
  • This blutbad exclusively attacks people in red sweatshirts with clashing accessories.
  • Nick’s red jacket…he really was the male Emma Swan huh
  • OR WAS HE THE REAL LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD!!!?
  • Hank went from like…suede blazers in the pilot to puffy vests in the later seasons. Honestly? Glow-up
  • Monroe uh…marking his territory šŸ™ˆ
  • “I don’t kill anymore, I haven’t in years” OKAY???? ONCE AGAIN I NEED MORE INFORMATION.
  • Monroe genuinely worried he would try to EAT A CHILD
  • Probably was not chicken in that pot pie
  • Blutbaden seem prone to domestic and somewhat eccentric hobbies that require being meticulous and detail-oriented. Collectors, clockmakers, needlepoint…
  • “I don’t know how you did it, but you did it” because you helped Hank! Because you noticed an important detail when Nick was too distracted!
  • We didn’t even know Adalind’s NAME
  • I always forget how hard that ending hits…like I keep expecting it to lose its shine but it NEVER has

Honestly, this pilot is in retrospect one of the best Iā€™ve ever seen. Yeah, the pacing is a little clunky and awkward, and they clearly donā€™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.

Thereā€™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, Wuā€™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.

Hell yeah. The contrast of ā€œSweet Dreamsā€ at the beginning and then the Marilyn Manson cover sold me on the show. It was a great pilot episode.

Amen. That is still one of my favorite uses of music in a television show ever. The only thing that tops it for me is Deathā€™s intro in Supernatural.

It just…even if you werenā€™t super impressed up to that point, that ending grabs you. It suddenly makes the whole thing seem a little darker, a little more mysterious than we previously thought.

I honestly canā€™t say whether I would have gone to episode 2 without that musical bit at the end of episode 1, but after hearing and seeing that scene I had to keep going. I had to know more about this weird little show.
