The one question that will haunt me after the series finale: IS MONROE HIS FIRST OR LAST NAME?????

I’m almost positive that Monroe is his first name. I mean, I can see friends and acquaintances, even someone’s wife, calling them by their last name if that’s what they were used to calling them…but even his parents called him Monroe, which would be difficult to explain.

That being said, at this point I almost want them to never tell us. Just let it be an eternal mystery and quirk of the Grimm fandom, that we never learned for certain what Monroe’s other name was or even which name “Monroe” even was. Because he’s been “just Monroe” for so long I’m not sure any possible surname or first name would be satisfying.

I’m all for civil conversation, but the shipping wars of any fandom are ridiculous. I will always maintain that fandom should be a positive experience. And there’s so much else to talk about! I think most of us can agree that Monrosalee is a beautiful couple, Hank was hilarious in the latest episode, and Diana is one creepy kid. Though it was entertaining how she terrorized her kidnapper lol. The mythology, esp. of other cultures, can be really interesting too. Do you have a favorite wesen?

My favorite Wesen species/type is probably the blutbad. I know, I know, we have tons to choose from and I pick the first one we ever meet?

But I think that’s kind of why. Blutbaden were the first Wesen type we met and the first where we really got to know the individual characters behind the faces. And we’ve met a lot of them compared to most of the other types: the first MotW villain, Monroe, the Lassers, Holly, Bart and Alice, and at least two of Monroe’s blutbad friends. As a result, we probably know more about blutbaden than any other Wesen type, even fuchsbaus.

And then, too, I just love Monroe, so much. His tendency to ramble and be an endless font of knowledge about this world (and various and sundry other things) along with his early friendship with Nick were the main reasons I fell so in love with the show that I kept watching past the first few episodes.
