Juliette needs to go. The writers may have wanted to make her more exciting, more Nick's match in power, but they have jumped the shark with the integrity of the character. The Juliette we have been watching for 5 seasons was capable of snap judgments and of an emotional 180, but wasn't so bereft of conscience that she could do a moral 180 of this magnitude. The storyline had great promise, but they took her character too far too quickly. It would have been more interesting to watch her wrestle with compassion nature vs. raw power. I could even see her slide into the dark side of being a hexenbiest step by juicy, seductive step. It would also be more interesting to watch Nick choose to learn to love SuperHexen and work through his own prejudices. He's been the psychopomp introducing all the others to the Wesen world, what happens when he needs to find that soul balance for himself (without relying on Juliette to supply it)? The only reason I can think of that they decided to run this arc like the core of Juliette's character doesn't exist anymore is that they intend to kill her off at the end of S5. At this point, I would not be bothered to lose her.
