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 shit I’m a main character”

Oh shit I need to get back into this show.

I need to warn you that there is no season 6. Like, they will lie to you and tell you that there’s 13 episodes with a satisfaying conclusion but this is juste elaborate bad fanfiction.

Noted. After season five go to the Actual Good Content on A03.

Oh great, I’m in the middle of season 4 right now and that’s really not good to hear. I can already tell the whole key stuff is going to end up either incredibly rushed all at once or just left open forever. As a writer I’d try to wrap things up then jump 15-20 years to handle key stuff and baby stuff at the same time in a 2 or 3 season sequel series, but I’m guessing that’s not how things go.

I don’t want to spoil you, but there was an attempt made to wrap as much up as they could in the episodes they had left. There are varying levels of happiness with that across the fandom.

Some people loved the ending. A lot found it okay but unsatisfying in some ways (I’m among that set). And some were really unhappy with it.

The good news is they’re developing a spin-off, which gives them another chance to fill in some of the gaps and fix some issues (if it gets green-lit)!

Can see Wesen for what they really are when they lose control.

Naturally gifted sketch artists.

Possibly prone to semi-prophetic dreaming?

Completely oblivious to puns.

Cannot cook

You are absolutely right. None of them can cook worth a damn. I wonder if Marie could? (Somehow I doubt it, I bet Nick got very well acquainted with sandwiches, salads, and canned soup as a kid.)

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.

Hell yeah. The contrast of “Sweet Dreams” 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 Death’s intro in Supernatural.

It just…even if you weren’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 can’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.
