Regarding Nick and feelings: I tend to agree with Izzy on this subject. He's an eternal adolescent and his shallow feelings reflect him as such. There's no maturity to the character, even though he's into his 30s by the time the series ends. If he's really going to tell Monroe about sleeping with Adalind, instead of giving the Nick Burkhardt version of sex with Adalind as Juliette versus sex with Juliette as Adalind, versus sex with the mother of his child, I would have liked to have seen him actually act like an adult and tell Monroe what it is about Adalind that made him decide to sleep with her. Obviously it wasn't her "I love you" because he doesn't even mention that. He talks about the sex being different and that she's really changed but we never learn what the change is and more importantly, how it affects him. Even if it's something that has to do with her past, at least it's something, and we get an insight into more than just the sex with her. He yells at least twice about wanting Adalind back, but again, it's the same thing. His character never elaborates on what it is about Adalind that makes him want her. Rather than hearing others' opinions, I would have preferred to hear it from the horse's mouth, so to speak. My dislike for him might have abated, a little.
Since the topic is about the actors, I will say something here about David G. In my opinion, he was never able to pull off the charismatic, whole lone wolf of a Grimm character. He would have been better to simply be what I always thought him to be........the nice guy next door who suddenly becomes a Grimm and has to all of the sudden deal with it, and the former enemy he now lives with.
My sole intent was to stick to this topic of the thread, which was to discuss Claire Coffee and her interpretation of the character of Adalind. As I said, I found her completely believable as the villainess, because I believe Claire worked very hard on the part. It showed. As a villain, she had heart and conviction. She reveals her likes and dislikes. I could even sympathize with her when she lost Diana. I got to know her.
But the change of heart downshift? No. Part of the fault on this is the script. After all, the character can't get much traction if the two male leads are having a teenaged conversation based on the Grimm going to bed with her. Neither one says anything that's gives insight into their perspective on the character other than she's changed and the hope is that she remains so. From Adalind's point of view, what is it about Nick that she loves? Does she even know? I had often thought, that with Nick often failing to explain things, his generic remarks, his rushing off with Eve, as well as Adalind's lackluster attitude and little credibility, it all might be signaling some type of a sudden change, had the series gone into season 7.
But, it did not, and so season five and for that matter season 6 became a mish mash when it came to Nick and Adalind. I understand a baby can take more priority so that is that.
In any case, long explanations aren't going to change either of us. I don't agree with you either and I am fine with the debate ending.

The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
