Reply To: Who Do You Think the death is?

At the end of the day, we can all have our own speculations about the real motives that the writers have to do anything. I’m simply basing my opinion off of how I’ve interpreted the story so far and what the producers have said. I know that script writing is a business as well as an art, but I think A&E are good at keeping to their vision. They didn’t cave to change their original idea that Henry’s father would be Neal just because fans guessed well in advance he was really Baelfire. They maintained the course they wanted. I’m not presuming to know what the writers have planned in advance; I’m just saying I think they mapped out S3 well in advance, including this sad spoiler. I don’t think it was just sprung out of nowhere due to outside pressures or whatnot. That would be a very sloppy way to conclude a season when OUAT ratings have been dropping consistently.
