Yes, Thank God, is Grimm day today *O* Do you think Eve was evil ? And please, don’t tell me you ship Nadalind too ¬¬

Hi there @sweetweasleygirl, admin Liz here! I don’t think Eve is evil. According to this interview with Bitsie, evil isn’t the right word. Focused and weaponized sound like more appropriate descriptors. I’m looking forward to seeing where they go with it!

I, personally, don’t ship Nadalind. I don’t mind them getting along for the sake of the child, but their history is to violent and filled with non-consensual actions for me to ever be able to ship them. I have no issue with Adalind coming over to the light side and trying to redeem herself, but I won’t ever be able to get behind a Nadalind romantic relationship (whether it becomes canon or not.)

I adore Adalind, and LOVE Claire Coffee, but I’ll always been Silverhardt at… well, heart.

is Eve supposed to be a brainwashed Juliette or a doppelganger?

According to this interview with David Greenwalt, the first one. The person we saw is Juliette in that she’s in the body of the person we’ve always known. But she’s also not Juliette in the sense that she’s been completely broken down into someone who doesn’t relate to Juliette at all, who sees Juliette as someone who is dead. She has all of Juliette’s memories, but not the emotions attached to them.

This kind of makes sense, actually, as Juliette was already losing herself more and more by the end of season 4. It sounds like she went through some pretty traumatic things in the few episodes she was missing, that have completely changed her personality as well as how she sees herself and the people who used to be important to her.

So I guess we’ll see to what extent that is true and whether it’s permanent!

Every time I see those posts about characters going through hell and still being loving and kind and not letting what they have been through turn them heartless or cold, I think of Juliette. Juliette went through so much in those first three and a half seasons of Grimm and never let her struggles or pain change her in any way. She was strong enough to get through them and still be the same person. She was more aware and had a better understanding of everything but more or less, she was the same, and then the Hexenbiest took over and I think the thing that I liked the most about this is that Grimm showed us that Juliette would never have just changed like that on her own. She wouldn’t have just turned against Nick, against her friends or hurt innocent people if she was in control because that was not who she was. That was the Hexenbiest and they essentially had to turn Juliette into something that was poisoning her, something that was killing her humanity in order to show that the only way she wouldn’t come out the other side stronger and better person is if Juliette wasn’t even there anymore, if she had no control over what was happening. 

I just had a horrible thought:

Apparently, these HW people have the resources to completely erase a crime scene, bring a person back from what should have been a fatal wound, and completely reprogram someone, either through magic or good old-fashioned brainwashing techniques, to the point that they no longer even identify with the person they were before or feel anything for the people they knew in their previous life.

And we’ve talked a bit (a very small bit) about Trubel, why she’s working with them, etc. But…if they could reprogram Juliette completely in a matter of a few weeks, is there any reason they couldn’t do the same to Trubel in the months she was gone? Assuming she told Nick the truth, and they really did find her right after she left with Josh (is he even still alive????), how do we know they didn’t just lock her in that cell for months and do whatever they did to Juliette to her as well?
