My answer was in response to your definition of "If the show wanted to "absolve" Juliette".
You then go into the description of what you think should be the definition of Juliette being absolved.
Quote:the writers would have put together an episode by now where Juliette is kidnapped and placed on trial by relatives of the neighbors who were slaughtered on the night she sold Kelly out to the Royals. Or at the very least, she would have been haunted by visions of Kelly's decapitated head, the same way Renard was haunted by Meisner.
First your description is a consequence not the actions of absolution. The definition of absolve is "set or declare (someone) free from blame, guilt, or responsibility.set or declare (someone) free from blame, guilt, or responsibility.". And that is exactly what the show did.
AS I pointed out in the following statement. "For one there was never a conversation about killing Kelly. Two the writers put her upstairs when Kenneth killed her." Two things to show she was not to blame or responsible for Kelly's death.
You then add the following
Quote:G&K simply cooked up a ridiculous persona for Juliette to hide behind so she could conveniently project her own crimes away from herself. It was a stupid, insulting idea, and I still want to punch them both for it.Neither the show or the interviews give any indication that Eve was created to avert responsibility. The show even provided Eve making the statement that she was sorry that Nick did not get a chance to bury Juliette. For those that read and comprehend understand that was a metaphor for Nick not having a chance to resolve the issues of the past season. It was not insulting it was a very profound way of addressing past actions. Something that is not normally dealt with on the show. For you to find it insulting says more about you then the writers.
As usual syscrash we have 2 totally different opinions of the story you insist on saying Eve/Juliette is a strong woman but then you say she is upstairs with no idea what is happening like she didn't hear anything all I can say if that's true is DUH you and I have had this conversation a lot and we will never agree you keep trying to make her innocent and I just don't buy it especially when she slowly crept downstairs. Oh nevermind it's not worth it I respect your view of the world of Grimm no matter how convoluted
