But aren't you excusing Adalind? You're in essence saying it's okay for her to become a hexenbiest again because you believe this time she will fight her powers. This time? Why should she have to fight at all? If she's so dead set against becoming a hexenbiest again, why isn't she seeking Rosalee's help to stop it?
This is a lot of the reason people are so angry over what happened to Juliette. Adalind is diddling around, telling Rosalee she doesn't want to be hexenbiest again, yet not doing anything about it.
That was not the choice given to Juliette. The choice she made was to help Nick. That often seems to be completely forgotten or deliberately overlooked in this debate over Juliette having a choice.
I'm not sure you'll get me to argue that the writers did great with Juliette? I'm not saying that. In fact, I warrant they blew up her character because she just wasn't working, and they had to do something huge or dramatic, otherwise having her around was kind of pointless. Maybe that wasn't the smartest choice. I for one am not sad about it, only because I didn't love Juliette. I didn't think she was particularly funny, entertaining, or really adding too much to the team.
I'm just saying that it's clear - like it or not - that the writers are giving this arc to Adelind. And because I see her as a more interesting character from the get-go, I think there's more potential there.
And you might be angry, you might stay angry, you might continue to hate watch the show. That's your choice, of course.
