I don't have a problem with Juliette's new sexual proclivities. I don't consider her sexually depraved. She's got the appetite of a hexenbiest. Everything we've seen about hexens and zaubers indicates they are hedonistic lovers with a salt shaker of SM thrown in. It's a part of the background of this show, and a Wesen trait that could well be a turn-off for Nick if he was ever allowed the choice of experiencing it. If so, their relationship would be toast even if Juliette wasn't jumping her moral compass shark.
A previous poster said that Juliette was clear as to why she was done, and that her feeling of empowerment should be a huge point in the character's favor, especially from all the passive Juliette detractors. Here's my counterpoint: I do not see Juliette's empowerment. I see her being controlled by her powers, allowing herself to be manipulated by the new situation into actions that violate the integrity of her character. Can a psychotic break be truly empowering?
