 I disagree. I would not mind Adalind getting together with Nick all happy if she was given a chance to redeem herself. Pursuing one’s own selfish interest with no regard for others and destroying other people’s lives along the way does not and should not end with happy ending the moment you turn all sweet. The writers made a big mistake here. They did not give viewers a chance to feel sorry for her. She is called a badass but she is not. She is utterly coward and childishly selfish. It made me lough how she legged it when she discovered Juliette was a hexenbiest as well. She did nothing but pursued her own interest the whole series with no remorse or regret. I thought given the way she got pregnant with Nick’s child it was almost indecent to approach him for support during and after pregnancy.

 As to Juliette I suppose the writers felt obliged to please the viewers who did not like her from the beginning. And it’s a shame. Because at the end of the day you cannot punish a person for being a certain type of person and that was the only reason people hated her. She was overly determined, inflexible, strong minded and stubborn to the point of ignorant sometimes, which annoyed me as well. However she has always been extremely brave and generous. She did not harm anybody. So punishing her for having a slightly annoying personality is utterly wrong. And this purpose that she talked about in one of the latest episodes is a very weak argument because what kind of purpose does she even mean? Hadrian Wall is finished and right at this moment the woman hasn’t even got a place to live! Please do give Nick to Adalind but do not deprive Juliette of a happy ending when all she’s done is lost her cool due to despair and utter hate that prevailed during and immediately after her transformation into hexenbiest.

 I do intend to buy season 1 though - Nick was rather charismatic to begin with, all devoted to his long term girlfriend, which was sweet, and his relationship with Monroe was just hilarious. That pinch of humour and seriousness combined worked well and did predict a long life for the show. If the writers went a step further exploring Nick’s dark side after his zombie transformation I bet the series would have been way more successful. The twist with Juliette turning into hexenbiest was good but Nick renouncing Juliette and giving it all to his worst enemy throughout the series made him look weak and spineless, which essentially doomed the show because we need to like to like our main character, don't we?
