Quote:She was seldom anything but a millstone on Nick's back.
Exactly.
For 4 and a half seasons what you had with Juliette in the picture was an alpha-male slogging home every night to confront a terminal case of Resting Bitch Face and the pimp hand of an always disapproving but quietly consistent scold. It was an all too common and slowly suffocating beta-male relationship to be endured only because at some point, Nick had the misfortune to become emotionally invested.
In a perfect world, Nick would have dumped her like load of bad asphalt back in Season 1. Sadly, however, people tend to cling to the familiar even when painfully clear to an observer that Juliette was the kind of person who would never under any circumstances be completely happy or satisfied.
She needed the boot, but good. And, while I tend to think that Powers That Be recognized this, they tragically refrained from permanence. Nothing would have said, "Good Riddance!" like several piles of petrified dog shat, but let's be real, if the fans of the show actually wrote the show, nobody would watch it.
And on another note…
Quote:"ButtHurt" is directly from the language of trolls, the kind of calculated word that's designed to get a rise out of people.
I'm sorry, but that's just too rich coming from the boy who cried, "Rape!" until he was blue in the face. Pot meet kettle.
