In S4 I would have been interested in seeing the juxtaposition of Nick/Juliette and Nick/Adalind, and how Nick dealt with figuring out if a life with Juliette was even an option, if he actually wanted it, and how Adalind having his child affected his reasoning and decisions.(06-27-2016, 05:24 PM)Robyn Wrote: The only characteristic that separated Eve & Juliette is a name change. Juliette could have become a laser focused agent, a weapon. Juliette insisting she is now Eve is as stupid as Adalind saying to Nick after giving birth, I’m Cindy now and don’t have any connection to your past with Adalind.I don't think I'll ever forgive them for Eve's "stop living in the past" line from A Reptile Dysfunction. I know G&K didn't write that episode, but the entire concept of Eve was theirs. Just imagine a Holocaust survivor being given the same speech by a former S.S. officer inside a retirement home.
G & K’s little trick simply allowed them to avoid dealing with the Nick/Juliette fallout in S5. G & K didn’t want Juliette choosing HW or a life without Nick so they turned her into Eve until they were ready to address the Nick/Juliette redemption story. It was a cheap trick and insulting & disrespectful to the character & viewers.
At the very least, they could've had Meisner conduct some kind of brain surgery on Juliette's frontal lobe in order to make her more compliant to HW's directives. THAT would have convinced me "Eve" was justified in believing she was a different person, even if Nick & Co. refused to buy it.
But to wait an entire season before the prospect is even put on the table? No thanks, I’m pretty much over it. Nick/Juliette? Nick/Adalind? I hardly give a flying fig at this point.
