I know it’s a serious trailer and all (and it’s definitely sad, I expected some deaths but actually not what we’ve seen so far) but the way Adalind/Claire yells “run!” in that promo sounds so weird that it almost amuses me? I don’t know! I do wonder if that’s purposeful misdirection though seeing as it implies that Adalind will get killed and while I think her dying to protect her children does seem ic I’m not sure if they’d show it in the trailer?

Yeah…I noticed the editing is a little weird there. It seems like it’s supposed to be almost a slow motion effect? Or like the scream has been isolated from all the other sound? But it’s hard to tell, there’s so little context to go by and there’s so much going on.

It looks as though Zerstorer is standing behind her and about to run her through with the staff, and she’s making it her last act to warn everyone that he’s coming.

But again. It’s hard to tell. A couple of years ago the promo editors had me convinced Nick was going to shoot Juliette in their living room, so…trailers lie and anything can happen.

Hey, are you still alive after saw the promo of the next episode ? NICKEVE/JULIETTE KISS, DAMN IT *dying inside* !!! Okay, now can I be worry with the ship war in the fandom next friday ? Mari.

Nope. I’m dead as a doornail after that, tbh. I’m also really worried about Nick’s reaction, though, as I talked about more in this response to @teamrebecchi‘s gifset on my personal blog.

The rest of the promo also makes me worry it might not really be something Eve/Juliette is doing of her own free will, because it looks like there’s some kind of magic or Wesenness at play in the next episode affecting people’s emotions and actions.

Which would just be…no. Please no. These characters have had their free will and hearts tampered with enough by magic, circumstance, and destiny.

As for the ship wars, my advice is: don’t worry about it. Steer clear of it if you can, and don’t engage trolls and haters on either side. Just enjoy the next episode–and the six after that–as much as possible. These are the last new episodes we will ever have together as a fandom and we should focus on having fun with them, not on ship war silliness.
