And what does Juliette think?
I don’t go there. Too dangerous.

Can we talk about this? Because at first I reacted to this with the same level of eyeroll-incredulity as Trubel. “Don’t make mistakes?” Yeah okay I’ll get right on that.
But then I thought: this is coming from Eve, who is not a perfectionist or Trubel’s boss or anything else that would suggest she’s giving an order. In fact, Trubel and Eve are probably the closest thing either one has had to a friend or equal within Hadrian’s Wall.
So…what if this is Eve’s stilted, robotic attempt at trying to give Trubel friendly advice? After all, who knows better than Eve what happens when you allow yourself to feel emotions and make mistakes? The last time Juliette Silverton felt angry, she made a lot of mistakes…and she lost everything.
And then, too, there’s what she says after this, about how she thinks it’s the reaction to one’s choices that decide whether they were good or bad, not the person who makes the choices (and implicitly, not the intentions, reasons, or even results of those choices).
The really heartbreaking thing is that Eve isn’t just saying to Trubel, “don’t allow your emotions to cloud your judgment or distract you into messing up.” She’s not saying don’t make a mistake. She’s saying don’t make mistakes, period.
Because when she’s sifting through the many mistakes Juliette made, it doesn’t escape her notice that Juliette’s choices were judged and found wanting long before the mistakes were big, and deadly, and irreparable. Long before her intentions were anything but good and loving.
So she tells Trubel: Don’t make mistakes. Don’t feel things and make choices because at the end of the day, you’re not the one who controls how people will react to those choices. And all it takes is one choice they don’t like to bring everything crashing down.
i always wondered where this perception that grimm’s were unkillable came from. i mean, it was such an odd thing for wesen to believe, especially since we saw and were made aware of the fact that grimm’s were NOT invincible. they might be harder to kill but they can be killed and yet, a perception like that would have had to have come from somewhere and what if it was connected to the stick. we saw nick get shot twice, once straight through the heart. he should have been dead and the cop who shot him thought he was dead only to literally have him rise from the dead to kill him. i completely forgot that nick had that stick in his pocket and was just blown away by the fact that he wasn’t killed and knowing that he had it on him during that fight made me wonder…what if the same thing happened centuries ago? grimm’s had that stick or pieces of it on them and were attacked or killed by wesen only to get up and continue fighting? anyone who saw that would think that grimm’s were invincible and perhaps that is where the reapers came from. they were created specifically to kill grimm’s because everyone believed that they were unkillable. they kill grimm’s by cutting off their heads but what purpose can taking the heads with them serve unless, they thought it was the only way to make sure that grimm’s were unable to come back to life after they had died. pretty out there theory, i know but after the finale – it just feels like a lot that was unexplained throughout the series just suddenly makes sense.
