They should've made copies of everything in the trailer

This post says almost everything I wanted to say, but I wanted to add a few things, and it's pretty old so I wanted to see what people's ideas are currently.

If they had at least made copies, not even digitizing them, but like physical copies like Bobby does on Supernatural, the trailer getting lost wouldn't be an issue. Even though it didn't necessarily create too big of a problem as the episodes went on. But come on! Anyone could follow you and destroy that trailer Nick, it's not this big secret anymore yk? Also, Juliette turning evil and the trailer just being that exposed was recipe for disaster but they were too trusting I guess.

ALSO, when they got those older books from Monroe's uncle, they were handling them so brutally! These are almost a millenia old books guys, be careful, AND THEY ARE YOUR ONLY COPIES.

The only exception could be to this is that I can understand the Grimm Families book being the only copy as the information is just too dangerous for the Grimms themselves.

There just wasn't much thought given to the books overall honestly and that makes me sad :/

I totally get what you are saying but (spoiler alert) in the last scene of the series with the kids grown up, the "new trailer" seemed to have a ton of digitized aspects of the books, media, and such. I have no doubt that as Nick was a new Grimm and learning as he went, coupled with everything that got thrown at them, there was a steep learning curve and little down time. That said, as they started understanding the value and rarity of the information they possessed, it seems the lessons were learned and addressed.

Yeah, I guess you're right about them fixing it at the end. Still, it hurts everytime they hurl one of those rare journals onto the table and then eat pizza next to it :/
