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…

Day 7! Time to look back on the incredible moments the cast shared with us at cons, panels, interviews, and on social media, and tell us your favorite!
The fierceness with which these two loved and protected each other just knocks me over every time. They fought so hard to get to a place where they could be honest and protect each other, and I was devastated when the final season teased a resolution for them only to never deliver. But I will never be over the sweetness of the early seasons, the longing looks of the last two, or the sheer euphoria I felt watching Eve relearn how to feel just from being in Nick’s presence (or kick ass from one side of Portland to another on a quest to rescue him). No matter how it ended, like Eve…
Monroe and Rosalee are a true partnership of equals. Juliet is always at a disadvantage because she’s not part of the Grimm/Wesen world, so she’s dependent on Nick for knowledge and protection, and by the time Nick and Adalind get together, she’s solely dependent on Nick as well. But Monroe and Rosalee are courageous, intuitive and intelligent – they’re in it together.

I was excited for this one! I love Farley Kolt, one of the most charismatic villains, and I love a steinadler for their excellent vision, their speed and their super cool, slick appearance.
This is the season where everyone starts to come together. Monroe and Rosalee get married, Nick and Juliette are finally able to be a couple with no secrets (most of the time, anyway.) We get the scenes between Meisner and Adalind (although I am still not a big fan of pregnancy sub-plots.) It also sets things up for Wu to be part of the team, and Wu’s s4 interactions with the others are some of my favourite scenes!
This was a doozy for me to choose because, honestly, it changed almost every season. But I kept coming back to one person who I adore and want to live up to every day.
The incomparable Rosalee Calvert. Rosalee is just my type of character – intelligent, fierce, and loyal with steadfast morals but questionable ethics. Rosalee has a dark past that shaped her but didn’t jade her. She is dutiful but won’t be taken advantage of. She has a thirst for knowledge and a desire to help. Rosalee is empathetic and non-judgmental but will hold you accountable for your words and actions.
Wogeing is such an interesting concept in Grimm! Originally introduced as an emotional reaction that reveals a Wesen’s true nature to Grimms or other Wesen, the transformation turned out to have so much more depth and nuance than that as the show went on. Wesen can woge partially or fully, as little as an eye color change to as much as a full body transformation that can be seen by anyone. Woges can be a show of aggression or a response to external stimuli, but they can also be a sign of respect, affection and comfort, or trust.
I think out of all the different Wesen I’ve seen my favorite woge is the fuchsbau, and my favorite instance of any fuchsbau wogeing is when Rosalee does so with Monroe’s parents as a first step in their attempts to bury the hatchet and try to get along.
The first one that I thought of was Once We Were Gods (Season 3, Episode 15.)
We get so many good interactions this episode!!! My favourites have to be the scene between Alexander and Nick in the car, and the one between Adalind and Meisner in the cabin.

Other episodes that come to mind are:
Last Grimm Standing – This is probably my most watched episode (hell, I wrote a fic inspired by it after I watched it – which can be found on my wattpad). This episode has my favourite Nick and Monroe content (i mean if you don’t fight for you friend’s life are you really a friend?)
Beeware – This is a comfort episode of mine. I really like the mellifers, wish we’d gotten more of them.
Where The Wild Things Were – I am a bitter Juliette/Nick shipper, and I really do like the episode and the closure it gives them.
Stories we Tell our Young – This one has the scene with Nick and Alexander, after he’s been arrested, and that’s one of my favourites. I think about it a lot. The messsage of the episode is good, to.
