I’m very disappointed in the Wesen uprising storyline, especially the HW part. I agree that what little we’ve seen of BC has been interesting and techno color compared to monochrome HW. But it didn’t have to be that way. This season could have run Team Grimm ragged with standard police work, Grimm duties, working with HW against BC, and figuring out how to work around Renard. As it was, we’ve had very little of BC until the end, except for disconnected scenes on HW monitors and broken sentences from Meisner & Eve.
Bringing the Meisner character to Portland was a total waste. Nothing interesting about him in earlier seasons has been seen in S5. The Juliette/Eve transition happened much too quickly and viewers should have gotten to see the transition unfold, and Eve was revealed to Nick too soon in the storyline.
I would have much preferred HW to have recruited and trained Juliette. If Grimm wanted to make a bold move - Juliette becoming a Hexenbiest and Nick unable to accept it - then let Juliette be a Hexenbiest and consciously choose to not be in Nick’s life anymore, to make a life for herself.
And most important, if Nick had to keep up with detective, Grimm & HW work, there would have been less Nick/Adalind. Maybe then Adalind would have spent some time outside, took Kelly to the park, hung out at Starbucks, donated some sweaters to charity, GOT A JOB - for reasons other than meeting Bonaparte. And maybe, just maybe, Nick & the others would have been so busy that Adalind needed to help with Wesen related cases. You know, do something. Stranger things have happened.
