This is where we differ. I think though the Juliette lives again as Eve was certainly the Jump The Shark moment for the series, if not that It was BC/HW.
I am probably just way to close to this to accept it. But look at the headlines now. Every furry-kittened e-mail, phone conversation, financial transaction, even your orders over the Internet for Walmart kitchen utensils are traced. Do you realize you cannot even order a 30 dollar kitchen appliance over the Internet, send it to a different address and then return it with a receipt to a store in order to get a refund without having to produce ID (this is done supposedly to prevent funding of criminal activities by using store return policies to facilitate money transfers).
But to me, the idea of a BC organization or HW existing and being any type of threat was completely and totally ludicrous. The entire wesen concept was easier for me to get my hands around then this, cartoonish, rendering of a secret squirrel organization with apparent low self esteem.

Here we agree. They should have fleshed this out and at least the story (for all its improbability) would have been interesting adult level entertainment. But as it stood, I would not give the writing a "C" to a student in a high school creative writing class.

I think with a different character you would be right. But I do not see Nick as having the requisite mental agility to pull off a infiltration by what supposedly is a secret squirrel ex-Constitutional organization who,if it existence was known, would land untold members of the Government in jail, lead to a Constitutional crisis and lead to the likely impeachment of the President of the United States. I would tend to think he would be more than just a little vetted. But then I guess the relatively uneducated Truble and the veterinarian trained Juliette were HW great data analysts and chief intelligence officers so maybe I am overstating the case.

In retrospect I have come to realize it was the so called actress who portrayed her I detest. I simply do not think she can act worth a darn and remains among the worst so actors I have ever seen torture the screen repeatedly with their presence. I think with an an actual actress in the role I might have had a very different, more positive reaction to the character.
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
