It is so obvious that you weren’t happy with how Nick ended up Adalind instead of Juliette. I, myself, would have preferred Nick/Juliette ending but it would have been a whole other story. Just because you wished a different outcome, does not make, how it ended, an impossible conclusion.

She was literally sitting with a smile on her face as she was betraying her innocent nieghbours to Kenneth ,she actually seemed to enjoy working with him planning the ambush. She then even offers Kenneth free advice when she tells him not to underestimate kelly and then even gives Kenneth a tour of Nicks house , she shows all the entrances and exits of the house ,so how someone can say she didn't know about Kelly's simpending death is just ridiculous. Juliette then sleeps with Kenneth in Nicks bed just for pure spite and to celebrate the impending death of Kelly. She then set up stairs listening to the brutal murder of Kelly and showed barley any emotion at all.I’ve seen it that way too Henry. I have literately asked some contributors which have denied the observations you mentioned. WTF were they watching!
I get the impression you’re confusing my objectivity with your bias. I don’t have an interest in Nick/Juliette, Nick/Adalind, or Nick/fill in the blank other than the evolution of those relationships either be interesting or kept off to the side as to not interfere with potentially interesting storylines.
Juliette’s attacks against Nick doesn’t bother me any more than Adalind’s or Renard’s in earlier seasons. Adalind and Renard and their storylines were interesting & enjoyable in the beginning. The negative fallout for Nick was a byproduct of their storylines, not the reason for my enjoyment. It’s the same with Juliette becoming a Hexenbiest. Had the storyline had teeth, Nick/Juliette or Nick/Adalind as the endgame is irrelevant to me. I don’t care about who hooks up, I just want to enjoy the ride.
You have a strong opinion about who Nick should and shouldn’t be with, and why. I couldn’t care less about Nick’s love interests other than them being an interesting part of the overall storyline and characterization. That you prefer Nick/Adalind while hating Nick/Juliette is your personal want for the characters. For me, the characters are simply experiencing the fallout of their many ill-conceived choices, and my only personal want is for them to be well characterized and their journeys be interesting and entertaining. I don’t dislike Nick/Adalind. I dislike that Adalind became flat and one-dimensional once she became Nick’s potential love interest. And while your viewing pleasure might be satisfied with the female character being properly loyal to the central character, mine isn’t.
Well, in actuality, my belief is that Nick/Adalind’s love interest was a direct fallout of her mistake of morphing into Juliette, getting pregnant by Nick and becoming a mother of their child, first and foremost. In other words. their love was a fallout of her becoming a plain old mother.
Unfortunately, what is more common with women, when they decide to become mothers, let alone stay home moms, their lives flatten out. Their kids become their primary focus and in many cases, they neglect themselves and their partners. I know my wife did. Just watch more Lifetime movies to see what I mean.
And now I have to go. My wife is demanding I take her food shopping for the week. So much for being the alpha male I think I was!
You know you are OLD, when you see the Slide Ruler you used in college selling in an ANTIQUE SHOP!!
