I like the idea of an empathetic bond but I don't see how that makes sense with any other Zauberbiest, even though Sean is our only Zauberbiest (and yes, half Zauberbiest) he still seems to care very little for his father. This could be influenced with The King's terrible treatment of him, but still. I don't think the empathetic bond thing makes much sense, but I do like it in a way.

I am also really glad, like you, that they didn't make up some crummy crap to make Adalind and Nick suddenly fall head over heels for eachother because of a bunch of love-driven fans. I like how they're keeping in character. Though I was a firm hater of the Nick & Adalind idea (Can you blame me? I love Juliette)... I'm warming up to it now. Atleast a little bit. Regarding Sean: My theory is that, assuming he got the genetic empathy thing in the first place (which he may very well have... he certainly seems to be very good at understanding people, understanding what makes them tick, manipulating them, calming them down, whatever he's aiming to do)... my theory is that he would have developed the bond with his father in infancy, like all Zauberbiests, but then when he was older and could make decisions, and he and his mother went into hiding, he purposely (and probably painfully) broke it off.
