Anyway, the Pro-Juliette train has left the station but we welcome you aboard. choo - chooooo.
I don't think the writers are going to have Juliette become part grimm. but there may be side effects from that potion. I'm think she might start seeing through Adalind's or maybe Nick's eyes.
I agree with all of your examples, Lou. There is an interesting phenomenon at work here. I alluded to it earlier in my S4Ep6 comments, and it's a matter of perspective.
For some reason, people view the quiet, thoughtful types as weak or lacking a backbone. Juliette's character is not loud, brazen, or in-your-face. She's quiet, thoughtful, and sensitive. This does NOT make her weak. She's actually more like those of us in real-life than ANYONE else on the show, IMHO. However, she gets "it" done...whatever "it" is. She steps up, protects, defends, supports, and provides a unique perspective based on her field/educational area of expertise, etc. She's sassy in a true-to-life way.
I also think she's a great foil for all the characters that are the brash "alpha" types. Her methods may be different, but I think she's a great partner for Nick, caring friend to Monrosalee/Hank/Wu/Bud/Etc., and would be a great mom. Juliette, Hank, and Wu are the only regular human characters on the show. Hank and Wu are men and carry guns every day. I don't think most people view them as weak. I think many people view Juliette as weak because she's quiet and female. It's only since she showed up at the spice shop packing heat that many viewers perked up.
If she's pregnant, and it happened during the body double spell, there may be some interesting character development for Juliette.
I'm on the train with you...as a late comer to this topic thread, I jumped on the caboose!
