The reverse, actually.
The night Juliette came upon him in the trailer reading one of the books with a flashlight, Nick should have said something like, "Aunt Marie told me this incredible story, but some things that have been happening lately seem to fit it," then brought her 100% up to speed on what he knew at that point. The two of them could have run a long extension cord out from the house and spent that entire night going through those centuries old books and realized that something really f***ed up was going on. Juliette could have learned with him and made her own fully informed decisions about their life together. Instead, Nick did the typical super hero thing and tried to "protect" people around him by having a "secret identity."
I did agree, he should have told her early on against Monroe's advice. I am sure during S1E21 & 22 the trailer was parked in a storage yard. No extension cord was possible to his house or available to the trailer from any source in the yard, But again, you keep going back to what he should have done. Again, better late than never. You keep repeating better early than never. That makes no sense.

They don't know the proper way to load a dishwasher, when they run laundry someone's whites always come out pink and they don't know what the right answer is to "does this make me look fat?" They're oversexed, insensitive, bumbling man-children who escape being divorced, dumped or turned into social outcasts every episode by the skin of their teeth, thanks to the women in their lives who take mercy on them and shrug off their endless flaws. Think Tim Taylor or Homer Simpson with monsters.
Because once you strip away the supernatural and aciton-adventure stuff, it's still TV and the people who write the scripts are the same ones who write Tide commercials and sitcoms.
Thats why, you analyze the characters presented on the screen, not what you wished for. The latter has an infinite amount of possibilities. That to me is ridiculous to be able to discuss.

There is nothing in the show that denigrates any of the main characters. The most that is said that they underestimated someone. They have never attacked a characters competence.
What you are stating is not writer intent, It is viewer hyperbole.
Because i don't give two shitz on "writers intent". I do give a shitz on what the writers wrote. The writers wrote Monroe to end up as the most popular character. The writers wrote Juliette as a slightly bitchy. My opinion and the similar opinions of must viewers. You might not like it. Welcome to reality.

I think that policeman- judge, agent of CIA- ever tells everything about his work to his couple.
The topic "Wesen" it was not so easy.
Also Monroe warns him that not everyone accepts him so - remember the guy pursued by those guys " cats".
brandon, what you just said I must have repeated it many times. Detectives can not bring home to their families everything they are exposed to on the job. Some people are just too dense and just keep repeating stuff they have no clue about. It is one thing to debate fantasies, it is another to debate reality and some just don't get "La Realta Della Vita"! I am glad you are intuitive to do so.
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
