To Macbros and Syscrash

First off,  my "class" (if I even have one) is very much middle. Both my parents are teachers and I am currently in university in Canada (where higher eduation is far more accessible than in the states). I am not some rich elitist prick, just an average dude who happens to know more than most with regards to morality and critical thinking (having spent considerable time in ethical debates with others and taken many ethics and rational thinking programs). Even if I was rich, that would not disprove the points I bring up, and any suggestion to the contrary would constitute an ad hominum fallacy (attempting to disprove an arguement by attacking the opponent rather than the arguement).

Personally, I hold experts in high esteem, as should you. Anti-intelletualism is not a positive trait and has led to such fabulous things as gloal warming deniers and the anti-vaxx movement (sarcasm, in case you could not tell).

With that out of the way, lets take a hammer to your arguement, shall we?

It does not matter to Kelly which particular royal is now hunting her, only that they still are. Kenneth may be far more effective than Viktor, but the tools he has at his disposal are very much the same. Taking this into account, there was no need to inform kelly because there was no need to update her tactics; sticking to the royals blindspots is just as effective no matter who was looking for her. Kelly was only caught because Kenneth had a card up his sleave that NO ONE (I repeat, NO ONE) could have antiipated; Juliettes betrayal. As no one knew she was in bed with the royals (in one case literally), no one could have warned kelly about a possible trap. there was nothing Nick could have done at all.

She HAS left her job (Nick confirmed this for us).

True, Nick did not react as well as he could have to her transformation (would you?) but you seem forget that he has repeatedly tried since then to mend their relationship, only to have Juliette push him away increasingly forcefully with excuses of decreasing logic. If she was trying as hard as Nick was, they could have sorted this whole thing out by now. Instead, Juliette has rejected Nicks attempts at relationship repair and decided to go her own way.

No, I am not just talking about the bar when describing Juliettes increasing instability. do we forget the time she nearly killed Monroe? Or her own admission that she was enjoying her violent acts? Not to mention complete apathy over the deaths of her Neighbours and minimal empathetic response to Kellys own murder. She is one sick puppy, who must be put down for her own good and the good of others.

As for the Trailer, that act was so much more than just property damage. She destroyed one of the only repositories of Wesen knowledge in existance. Burning it was like burning the library of Alexandria or the mongols trashing the great library in Baghdad; untold knowledge lost forever to future generations. I have previously stated that the lore in that trailer was FAR more valuable than Juliettes life and I stand by that statment; who knows what unknown wesen or entity will appear next that the trailer could have helped with? The trailer was more than the books it contained; it was a key instrument for protecting countless innocents and it was destroyed by Juliettes thoughtless rage.

Finally, Adalind. Adalind is not (contrary to what you think) accepted by the gang (This was made plain by the exchange between Rosalee and Adalind in You Don't Know Jack, in which both point out the animosity of Adalind and the mistrust of everyone else). They put up with her because a) Only she could make the supression potion they needed to help Juliette and b) is carrying Nicks Kid, who would surely die if left without the protection of the gang. They would love nothing more than to never see her again (Indeed, I think that is what all involved were assuming would happen when Juliette was cured) but that is not an option at this point because Juliette is still a problem. What Happens in the Future is up in the air (If Russell Hornsby is to be trusted), but for now, they are nothing more than reluctant (stress "reluctant") allies.

There, that was my say. Hopefully Juliettes head rolls in the Finale and you can stop your apologist behavior. If nothing else, remember this; Nothing anybody else has done so far justifies Juliettes increadibly rapid decent into what most of us call "the Dark Side".

PS. When I was talking about "we must all accept it", I was talking about the viewers and commentors. I am pretty sure that everyone in the show already accepts it.
