All I see is hatred. Nick came close to killing her, yet shipper interpret that as some sign of true love.

Well I understand if you don't, but their chemistry doesn't have to be romantic, their scenes together are generally very good ones. Likewise, your right there is hatred, but to some people all that's important is there is passion, there is fire, and they misread this as the other sort of passion.

Amelyan wrote: Would it be such a big request for the creators to start focusing on the plot instead of the soap opera style romance? I don't like how this who has turned into the Adalind Show, where she sleeps with everyone, gets pregnant, has magical baby. Repeat ad nauseam. This used to be about Grimms, Wessen and Royals, please go back to that. But I don't have high hopes for that, since Adalind is on her way to becoming Juliette 2.0.

Well I think you're exaggerating just a little bit, its not like that dominates the story. Just Adalind's own storyline. I admit doing it twice was a bit much, but I think the purpose behind it was a little different. The first time around it started off with her trying to carry on being a player (even though she was only ever a piece) but end up offering her a chance at redemption, all so they could rip it away when Karma caught up to her for all the things she had done up to this point.

The second time, well I think that was Karma as well, just a bit different. After all she took advantage of Nick to steal his powers, what's more kamatic than it ending up with her being the one suffer for that?

Amelyan wrote: I guess out of the ships Nick-Trubel is the lesser evil, at least they actually like each other, although in a brother-sister way, and she is not a horrible person like Adalind.

I'll be honest, I agree Nick and Trubel actually like each other. But I think I'm more against them ending up together, than Nick and Adalind. Something about them doing so, at the moment at least, kind of feels incestuous (sure there not really siblings, but they sell it very well).

Amelyan wrote: Nick really deserves so much better than Adalind. I feel so sorry for him, being stuck with Adalind after all what he's been through. Hasn't he suffered enough? Also, poor kid as well.

I don't want them together, but I do hope that all this turns out to be enough to get Adalind on the road to redemption. I mean she's done horrible things, but she suffers for them, she still has plenty of suffering to do first, but she's getting there.

Amelyan wrote: Why are people saying Adalind had a terrible life that's why she is such a horrible person? Nick had it worse, Trubel had it even more worse, and look how they turned out. Even Sean had it worse, and he turned out more or less okay.

Well it comes down to the fact Adalind's was outright abusive, rather than simply tragic. Now no one is saying she holds the monopoly on having a hard life. Or that that is a justification for everything she does.

Its more a lessening factor.
