The show maintained N&J's relationship for three seasons, then promptly trashed it in just a few episodes, purely in favor of making "Nadalind" happen (and if you support THAT relationship, accusing "Nickette" of being dangerous is the peak of hypocrisy).
I know you're referring to a different issue here, Hexenadler, but your post gave me some food for thought. The foundation of Nick and Adalind's relationship *is* one of hypocrisy. Nick hated her. She hated him. She was never going to come crawling to him but for the fact the royals threw her out and she had no where to go. He would have never taken her into his private and personal house but did so because....why? Adalind offered and provided him with a spell that was never going to work on Juliette.
Exactly. Adalind's decision to join Team Grimm was motivated by purely pragmatic reasons. That's why Nick & Adalind's relationship never felt sincere, and more importantly, earned. That's what made the outcomes of seasons 4 and 5 so upsetting for me; it was painfully obvious the writers just didn't care. When you become emotionally invested in characters only to watch them unravel because of indifferent screenwriting, it's the lousiest feeling in the world.
