From the comments, that is just to complicated a concept for people to understand. Look how many comments define Juliette and Eve by what they are and what they do. They fail to see Eve and Juliette at two different people. They don't even think the same, they don't even have the same priorities. I am sure there will be people who post examples of why this is not true. Not even realizing their post support my position that they just don't get it. The fact that people label Juliette and Diana evil, when the writers go out of their way to make them not evil. Shows people stick with their bias and not the writers intent.
The problem is, the actors themselves are sometimes total dicks and talk about crap that gets the fans going. Note the excerpt from Guintoli's interview, particularly his statements about Juliette and Eve:
Quote:That stick saved Eve (Bitsie Tulloch) and, for a moment there, we got a glimpse of the real Juliette. How is Nick getting his brain around that?
I know, right? Is there a worse time in a guy’s life to find out your woman has come back? We’re all in the middle of being killed! On top of that, Nick is now in love with a Hexenbiest and they have a child. Nick’s also gotta be thinking, “Does Juliette know she killed my mother, when she was Eve?” And who is actually responsible for that death? If it was Juliette, Nick couldn’t forgive her. If it happened as a side effect from Juliette becoming Adalind—which she was trying to do for Nick’s benefit—then I guess he would have to forgive her. So all that is yet to be discovered. But, right now, it’s all too much for Nick to take in. He’s, like, “We can’t do this now!”
Is he kidding? Is Grimm really going to sink back into the sludge to deal with this issue? Is that what he was talking about when he said they were going to focus on the core characters?
Without a doubt, Nick is the most corrupt cop I have ever seen portrayed on the screen. I thought that maybe, just maybe, they were molding him into a better public servant. For a while there, he wasn't contaminating crime scenes and he actually was acting like a police officer. But then Friday, he brings civilians Monroe and Rosalee into the precinct to shake Tony down because he's unable to perform his job. Obviously Grimm hasn't learned anything.
Giuntoli said in his interview that he thinks the series is going to focus on the core characters. Why not a story dealing with Nick's failings? Have a story where his ghosts come back to haunt him. Or a story where the FBI takes a keen and personal interest over what Nick did to Chavez. Or how about the Justice Department coming to call over the artifact that was stolen from Germany?
Sigh. But no. Instead we're to be led back into the boring past to find out what Juliette really knew and what she really felt and oh, gee, the cliffhanger of whether Nick is going to forgive her or not.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
