Quote:Based on my personal opinion and interpretation of the characters, I meant sadly, as in, wish it had been different.Do you even watch the show. You are expressing all of these opinions as though the shows characters action are based on how someone would react in that given situation. Take Nick mom dying. That normally would effect how someone would react. IN this show that has never been the case. We all no given a few episodes that event will been in the past and nothing we see will be based on it. People can speculate all they want why Nick should feel a certain why. But the show does not work that way.
I had hoped that once Adalind settled into a calmer & less threatening lifestyle she would realize that as long as she was wholly dependent on someone else - the man in her life - she and her children would always risk being victims and she would work toward achieving her independence and getting her daughter back. What she did was basically set up house with Nick and decide that if this was the best she’s known then this must be as good as it gets.
The other side is Nick’s opinion of Adalind and his behavior toward her. The only reasoning I can surmise from G &K’s idea to have Adalind hopelessly in love with Nick is to provide a path to Nick choosing between Adalind and Juliette and as reason that Adalind might side against Renard instead of with him in S6.
While I understand that Adalind doesn’t know Nick is lying to her and he & the gang are deceiving her, as a viewer, I know this is happening. To me, Nick/Adalind is too similar to Renard/Adalind, with the only significant difference being that Nick isn’t using Adalind to fight his battles while he remains safe & hidden.
Nick has admitted he doesn’t know how he feels about Adalind or even how he’s supposed to feel. That makes me question why Nick’s having sex with Adalind. To placate her and keep her easily controllable? That sounds very Renard-like. To simply work off sexual tension? That sounds very selfish considering Adalind has confessed being in love.
Forget love, if Nick cared for Adalind and respected her as an individual and the mother of his child, wouldn’t he have decided against a sexual relationship until they were in agreement about their feelings for another? After all, this is about more than a living arrangement ending if the relationship sours. This is about the emotional wellbeing of his son and maintaining a friendly and trusting relationship as parents.
What makes it funny is the arguments of who opinion is right or wrong. Many argue what is the motivation for what they see. IN five seasons not one character or event can you point to as the result of a characters motivation. Every act is there only to provide the setup for the next event. Take Nicks mom dying. There was no motivation on the part of the character. That is why the disagreements why Juliette participated. That is also why after a few episodes her death was a forgotten issue.
Sure I will try an take events and create a logical path how they got to where they are. But I also realize the show does not put forth that kind of forethought. That is why I also do not apply the understanding of characters emotions, or normal rational thought. I always look for the stepping stones put forth to create the event.
