But she did start out as good person. And she drove the biggest share of the unfolding saga of Grimm because of what she became. And it's proper that she is a hated character. For me, because I have emphasized with her all along, it is the best that can be hoped for that she give her life for the cause. That's it, it doesn't begin to balance the scales, but it has a kind of justice to it and also, a grace given that at her worst, she failed to confer on her victims. I just can't separate myself from my attachment to Juliette.
Plus there's an irony in the fact that Juliette lost her chance at being a mother and having a normal life, and that Adalind's journey seems to have begun at the point at which J's ends; starting out as an evil doer and ending up with being a mother who is beloved by Nick (so far). No reflection on Adalind, I've always loved the character. Just a demonstration that life isn't fair, more like a crap shoot. Of course, the fly in the soup is Diana.
Intriguing idea that the Crusade Grimms may have combined their power somehow into the stick.
Eve/Juliette was a good person in season 5. Eve/Juliette is still the independent and strong women. Juliette was a vet and wanted to live with Nick but smartly never agreed to have a "normal" life with him if he wanted to be a grimm. Juliette never discusses having children with Nick yet it is assumed for her that she would want them. Adalind who says over and over she wants she wants her daughter and keeps the baby of her kidnapper and agrees to works with Nick to raise Kelly is still questioned on whether she wants to be mom.
Women should be able to choose to be a mom or not and not have everyone assume they want them. Once Nick was a grimm the only way Juliette was to have a "normal" life was to leave Nick. As an example, Nick's human father was killed for being married to a grimm and Juliette was kidnapped early in the show.
Women characters do not have to be having sex with the lead to be important to the story.
