That said, IMO, the I love you was as flat as Eve’s reveal in S5. Juliette had already informed Nick that she didn’t want him and they all thought they might die. So big whoop. Nick finally grunts out the L word.(07-09-2017, 11:38 AM)Robyn Wrote:Not to mention the big tension builder to Nick finally confessing his love to Adalind......only to go back in time and take it back. That should have been a deleted scene.(07-09-2017, 08:38 AM)irukandji Wrote: The whole Nick/Adalind pairing suffers from the least amount of attention in my opinion. All I see here is the writers coming to a decision that they should put these two characters together and let nature take its course. Forget that both of them absolutely despised one another so by making them lovers, (and not even altering the story so they at least have some chemistry), it also makes them shallow people who are unable to hold to any type of commitment. Not to one another, but to themselves.Absolutely. If G & K settled on Nick/Adalind eventually becoming a committed couple, they could have at least made Nick’s relationship with Adalind different than his prior relationship with Juliette. They had all the components necessary for Nick/Adalind to naturally begin with a chaotic, distrustful, head-butting, sexually fueled path to couplehood.

Too leechlike and it robs her of the spark she had in the golden episodes. On Nick's end, it does nothing to enhance his character.I’ve pulled weeds out the flowerbed that were more interesting than Nick/Adalind. But really, I don’t think G & K made a decision for Nick/Adalind to be boring, they just wanted to keep it simple and easily tucked out of the way.

I wasn’t interested in the core characters or WoW and pretty much skimmed for The Royals/keys, The Resistance, and Renard and Adalind storylines. So other than the episode being discussed on the forum, I don’t know who the frog girl is.(07-09-2017, 11:38 AM)Robyn Wrote: But where would they find the time for those hold-on-to-your-seat riveting WoW episodes such as Rat King and Reptile Dysfunction if they incorporated even a fraction of what we’ve discussed into S5? *grin*lol, I could add a few more episodes to that, like the one with the frog girl who tattooed herself into normalcy. Right.
