No, giving Juliette another personality and then have her claim she wasn't responsible for all the vile evilness she pulled in season four was the worst decision in the history of the show.

"Still, what you did to my mom and my neighbors was an awfully bitch move…"
"NO REGRETS! NO REGRETS! LA LA LA LA! I'M NOT LISTENIIIIIIING!"
One abandoned plot thread I wish the writers had resolved was the small matter of the unnamed innocent neighbors who were slaughtered by the Verrat on the night Juliette betrayed Kelly. I wonder if the relatives of those people would have been so accepting of Juliette's "I'm Eve, Juliette is dead" B.S. throughout…
There shouldn't have been a "love triangle" at all. Pairing Nick up with Adalind was a morally reprehensible creative decision that should have been shot down in the writers' room.
I always like scenes where Wesen appear to be striving against their innate natures. Season four ended on an unpleasantly fatalistic note, implying that all Hexenbiests are inherently evil and can't be trusted. But here, Adalind is making a conscious effort NOT to be a reprehensible bitch, and Bud has jumped to the…
Well, I guess they've made it official with Nick and Adalind: Sexual violation is the best foundation for a healthy, long-term relationship.
NO, William. You NEVER defend studio executives over Jim Henson. NEVER.
So cool to see Ellen Sandweiss back in the undead saddle. She's probably the one other E.D. veteran who's endured almost as much abuse as Bruce himself, so I'd say she's earned this moment in the spotlight.
Considering she's responsible for Nick's mom getting decapitated (in addition to a few unnamed neighbors being slaughtered), I think she's entitled to a little wangst.
"At the close of last season, I talked about how one of the greatest things about “Cry Havoc” was that it did so many things that couldn’t just be swept under the rug."

Just gonna leave this here.
I'd love to see the other characters intentionally driving Eve nuts by continuing to refer to her as Juliette.
Seriously. Couldn't they have mentioned Stalin instead, just for a change?
Given the creative direction GRIMM has taken lately, I don't think I'm underselling anything.
I can buy your argument, if this is really a case of Juliette being forcefully beaten and battered into a lapdog of HW. If the writers expose HW as sanctimonious monsters (which they've already been coming across as, IMO), I'm willing to give the rest of the show a chance. If they don't, it's more than just sloppy…
First of all, Greenwalt wrote NONE of the episodes where Fred "transformed" into Illyria, so the claim he's "ripping off himself" is bogus right from the get-go.
I can't help wondering if the writers really WATCHED Fred/Illyria's arc from "Angel" (which they're obviously ripping off). In that show, Fred was dead for all intents and purposes. Illyria was just occupying her corpse. In stark contrast, Juliette was merely indoctrinated by HW into a different personality. Juliette…
Hitler finally weighs in with his opinion!
