I'm confused- what did Adalind do that was so smart?

I think the triangle being discussed is between Nick, Juliette and Adalind.

As Greenwalt says in the interview, "Juliette is dead. She’s coming
back, but it’s not really Juliette anymore." That's the line. They
tortured her into becoming a weapon.

Fair point.

What exactly is this "line", you keep talking about? Nick had no problem kidnapping Chavez or framing a guy for murders he didn't commit. Renard has done worse as has Adalind and yet, both of them are now regarded as being on the "good" side. Are you telling me that individually kidnapping, torture and brainwashing…

The difference is that while one party wants to massacre innocent civilians the other party resorts to extremes measures only when warranted. But, if you are not a fan of "ends justify means" philosophy, then you should already consider most people on the show to be villains.

Read the whole interview - they also said that Juliette still has all her memories, she just doesn't feel the way she used to.

Ofcourse we can have that - HW is obviously into some shady crap. As for Juliette, she still has her memories - so obviously her brain wasn't deleted.

YES!!!

I thought the writers said no SORAS for Diana.

What are you talking about? Juliette was trained as a soldier to fight against the uprising.

"The one thing that’s frustratingly unclear is why Cruz was asking Xavier questions about Monroe specifically"

Lasting a couple of months? Not even a good try.

Being an artificially created, extremely powerful Hexenbiest made Juliette homicidally insane. And, as we saw previously, standard non-hexenbiest Adalind wasn't different from Hexenbiest Adalind. Therefore, she should be held responsible.

Then how do they explain her terrible behavior when she wasn't a Hexenbiest.

I have seen that episode many times - the way Juliette kicked Adalind's ass is one of my favorite scenes of the whole series.

Except, she continued to embrace her powers even after having Diana. She was embracing them even when she was pregnant with Kelly. It wasn't until after the royals turned her out that she changed her mind out of the blue.

No - because Juliette never boasted about taking Diana from her.

So have you - which is why you felt bad for the characters.

Its big all right, but how is it "atoning". Her problem wasn't being a hexenbiest, it was being a bitch. How does her giving up her powers make anything better?
