I think the opening is taking a page from Firefly: trying to get the uninitiated up to speed with what the show is about. I think it was a good idea, especially with it's move to Monday night. It would not surprise me to see them drop it after a few episodes, though. It's probably an extra minute they could reuse for more content in the show....or more accurate, another minute of commercials.
Personally, I miss the days of shows having openings instead of just a quick splash screen and diving into it. I'm probably in a small minority, though.
I actually yelled "Oh, come on!" when the screen said 'continued next week'.
My wife and I were watching via DVR. I had advanced past the last batch of commercials and then looked how much time was left: 5 minutes. At that point I told her "You know this isn't going to be resolved tonight, right?" 'Yeah, I saw the time'. So it wasn't a surprise to us....just a few more days for the next part.

I agree - they realize that they have a solid show on their hands, one that has probably grown substantially by word of mouth, and they need to bring all of the new fans up to speed.
Problem with Hulu, is that for some networks, the show maybe delayed for up to a week or more. Where as Torrents and newsgroups, Itunes, it's available the next day or so.
Well seeing as how I don't have time to watch it till the weekend anyway...
Renard acquires the potion needed to awaken Juliette Silverton from Catherine Schade. He is surprised to learn that the potion is for him to consume before he kisses Juliette. Renard asks, "What are these lumps?" Catherine responds, "It's better that you don't know. And, since you're barely human, you're in for quite a ride, sweetie." Back at his home, Renard prepares to take the potion. He briefly morphs into a Hexenbiest, revealing his true nature for the first time.
Honey, I polymorphed the kids! Hexen Beasts Lumps! So he's 'barely human' to begin with and Catherine added to the mix with the mysterious lumps causing the brief hexenmorph, eh? So he's still a WhatKindofBeastiePrince? Oh and will Nick be able to "see" him for what he is now with the lumpy adittive? ut Ut Oh Oh!
Do you think Mom is really leaving? Would hate to see her go. She needs to teach Nick more Grimm karate skills.
Did you not notice when Nick dropped her off? She pretended to go into the station, the backtracked and hopped into a cab. She doing something sneaky.
I saw her turn around, had to get up to engage in some parenting, and didn't bother rewinding. I just that we continue to see a lot of her as opposed to something like every four episodes.
-It turns out that Hank Griffin is finally let into Nick's world and as a result Nick is able to finally open up to his partner and gained an extra ally; and Hank discovers he's not so crazy after all. Win Win.
-Meanwhiles, Juliette, Nick's veterinarian girlfriend/fiancé seems to remember everything except poor Nick himself. Yeek.
This episode went well as can be, The "Coyotyls" were okay, though the coincidence that a good friend of Hank's just happens to be a creature is a bit of a stretch. Still it was nice to see LOST Alumini Mark Pellegrino (Jacob), who seems to cameo on a lot of programs like Terry O'Quinn does.
Quill is the name of season 2 episode 4, comming up in the next week.

Ah, I knew I saw that guy before on TV. Jacob from Lost. And Terry O'Quinn is usually great when I see him on TV, from Harsh Realm back in the day up to his performance on Lost, and a bunch of guest-starring roles along the way.
And Grimm is actually getting better with the second season. The episodes don't seem so much like "monster-of-the-week" filler. Nick's partner is now (somewhat) aware of what's going on, and we finally get to learn more about their boss.
Friday Sept. 28 Grimm Season 2 Episode 5, title: The Good Shepherd
Hmmm, odd that they aired S2E4 on Sept 3rd then nothing again til Sept 28th... nearly just about FOUR WEEKS! OMGz!
And Episode 6 airs on or around October 5th. Again a Friday.
I thought they just moved things to Monday, I guess they changed that to Fridays then. *sigh* I think they're dicking with us allready and we've barely started. Curses the networks.
• - And also note: in this point in time, The Listener gets its season Finale tonight Wed. Sept. 12th. Wow that was a short season, I thought that also only just started back up. Frick & Frack I must be really getting on in years if time is slipping by this quick!

Long breaks, and moving shows like that is generally not a good thing... but even though Grimm has been airing on Monday, they showed it again on Friday.
The Monday slot will be filled by "Revolution", which looks like it could be interesting.
Grimm allready has a pretty good following so I think they'll last a whiles yet.
Revolution on the other hand, after watching the Pilot, I think it'll take a little "growing on" to do and seeing its a J.J. Abrams deali-0 I just sense some "LOST" overtones creeping in along the way. Gona try to keep an open mind though and give it a chance.
I do dread the November thanksgiving time period when the superbowl rolls aroudn and preempts stuff with that sports crap. that plus those idiot reality shows like x-factor and dancing with stars, etc... those shows really get on my nerves and eat up valueable timeslots... then its another week or two and BOOM its Christmas break and we're all on hiatus again. MISERY!!!
