So I never hated Juliette. For the longest time I wasn't a huge fan of her character because she didn't seem to do much on the show. Still not. However, I have to say that, with all she went through and how she became aware of the Wesen world, she evolved into a character who I, even if I didn't necessarily care much about, I was still  interested in. However, then, they went and killed her! Now, I know they gave her a super sympathetic story line of descending into madness and gave her a really emotional way to die, but I can't help but feel they should have left a way for her to come back. I think part of it was Bitsie Tulloch's decision because I know she's getting more roles now and part of it was the directors not wanting to bore the readers with traditional story-lines. However, after they had created such a great plot where her old self is essentially ripped away from her, it seems like they could have either had her cured and, after all she's been through, just not be able to deal with being around Nick and the gang, or maybe not be cured and go off to wherever with the creepy grandpa/king. That way, it would have left room for Juliette to return to the show for future plot lines when Bitsie's schedule settled down a bit or maybe just for some cameos. But no. They just completely destroyed that!

I mean, I suppose there's a chance she's not dead or there's a chance she was shot in a place that was nonlethal and maybe the arrow was dipped in some leftover suppresant. Or maybe her hexenbiest form will die and her human will stay alive. However, given that they didn't know Juliette would be at the house, didn't have time to plan, and there was nothing about any alternative cure, that seems unlikely. It looks like we'll have to content ourselves with flashbacks.
