Quote:and 'don't sin by letting anger control you.' Don't let the sun go down while you are still angry,

Quote:We don't fully know what Nick would have ultimately done and can only go by what he did do after 6 seasons. He maintained a long term relationship with a hexenbiest, he never shunned Eve/Juliette once she came back into his life full time instead of an HW operative he interacted with from time to time and even after she told him she was content as a hexenbiest, Nick never changed his demeanor around her. He wasn't the only one who still believed Eve wanted to be her human self again. Adalind and even Wu made comments along that line after she lost the hexenbiest. They all thought she'd be happy without it and for the first time since it happened, they saw her sad without it and iNick never scowled at her getting the hexenbiest back.

Nick isn't so rigid that he cannot change his mind when the occasion calls for it

Quote:Syscrash, I don’t think so signs of guilt more like , Nick wanted Juliette to be her self agian because he felt guilty a blind man could see that. Nick felt like Juliette’s fate was all his fault and whisked to undo what he’ed Supposedly done to her.

Quote:No amount of anger justifies violent acts that lead to people dying. Juliette had every right to be angry, but expressing that anger in the manner that we saw is unacceptable. In the real world, you do what Juliette did, set someone's property on fire, conspire with your neighbours' killers resulting in the unexpected death of your potential mother in law, no court would acquit you of the guilt/responsibility of your actions. The Bible says in eph 4:26

Quote:You're underplaying Juliette's actions at the spice shop. She was capable of killing them with just a thought, but that wasn't what Juliette was doing. She hyped the tension by forcibly training Nick's gun on Monroe with Nick's hand on the trigger. Nick couldn't stop his actions because Juliette's wanted to show them her powers and how little they now mattered to her and the fact that she had Nick pull the trigger shows her intention clearly. Monroe wasn't shot that night, not because of Juliette. Hank saved Monroe that night by basically tackling hm out of the gun fire. There's no other way around it. Her hesitancy that night wasn't out of some innate compulsion not to hurt them. She was taunting and trying to destroy Nick by making him shoot his best friend and Rosalee by making her watch her husband get shot. It's like how some criminals just kill their victims when robbing them vs others who play with their victims to hype their fear before actually killing them because they thrive on the fear. Juliette was behaving more like the latter than the former, getting drunk on the power. She was in a position of power and wanted Nick and the gang to never forget it.

Then why didn't she stop Hank from intervening. Even her response afterward was not that of someone whose plan was stopped. What did she say after ward who that was close. Had she wanted to shot Monroe. Why not have Nick pull the trigger again after re aiming the gun. It is an automatic she could have fired several shots. By your statement are we to believe Juliette could not hit a moving target. After pulling the trigger he dropped the gun. something he could not do until she let him.

The one thing you did get right was her intent was to show she is the one in control. To think that Hank is the one that save Monroe life means you don't see her as having total control of the situation.

Quote:Antagonists taunting the protagonist instead of outright killing them is very prevalent in all of fiction. That's the reason John McClane survives every Die Hard movie. It just doesn't come to down to physical assaults. Juliette doing what she did was psychological torture. That's why she had Nick point his gun at his best friend while Rosalee watched.
