Especially if they hook up Nick/Adallind. Breddgal, I really like the direction that the writing is taking this season. I like that the characters are complex and don't just fall on one side of the "good-bad" spectrum. I like it that fans are arguing about the show, what they like and don't like. That shows interest. One reason why some fans may have a lot of hate for Adalind is because they have seen most or all of her bad deeds against the main characters since the start of the show. If we find Adalind doing something wrong in the future, that's confirmation bias. Try and look at this show objectively. We haven't seen the worst yet for Monroe, Rosalee, Hank, or even Wu yet. Who is to say that what Monroe did in the past, what Rosalee did in the past, isn't just as bad as what Adalind did. They are all somewhere in between, with some falling closer to good (or bad like Renard maybe). An earlier commenter brought up a good point: at times, the script dialogue in this show has fallen short (I remember laughing when Nick said to Adalind in the woods, "I think it's time we settle our differences...violently" LOL). I would have also liked it more if Adalind was a little more honest in her reason for sleeping with Nick (not because he helped in taking Diana, but because she thought that Viktor had her child, well she thought wrong). But I think overall the dialogue has gotten better, and I know and appreciate that the producers are reading the fans praises, complaints, and suggestions, and maybe choosing the ones that work best with the storyline. I am a Nadalind fan, but I don't know if Nadalind will be a thing, I don't know if they are endgame, but I do like how they are trying to have Nick and Adalind build bridges, and try to figure this out. I like that Nick had Kelly, the baby, going for him when everything in his life seemed too dark, no matter who the mother is. I like that Nick took the high road in this situation, and stepped up to take care of his son, despite his dislike for Adalind. It is very much within Nick's character. Please note that there are some mothers out there who have had children from rape and yet, despite the pain behind those circumstances, still choose to keep the child and raise him/her. They are very strong individuals! If Nick wanted to pursue legal action against Adalind (if he could), he would have done that by now. Personally, I like all of the characters (despite their sometimes cheesy lines) and can't wait to see what this show offers next.
