LOL Lecygne!

I cross-posted with you, but I’d like to posture that both tents actually have logic.  Le Tent has logical, whole-space logic, whereby you look at what has happened on the show, the interviews, the tweets, etc etc and make the REASONABLE conclusion that MO322 is nothing but a pipe dream and we should probably pack some sweaters because Sad Town, in all its greyness, looks awfully bleak and cold.  But, the Tent of Optimism is not entirely insane – although as always I will concede that it is mostly insane – because there IS logic there.  There is *story-based* logic there.  When you tune out all of the outside factors and JUST watch the show, look at the buildup, look at the fact that they’ve resurrected every other dang character (they crushed Charming’s heart – CRUSHED IT to cast a dark curse! – and still he lives… Neal still has his heart, and we can’t even *try* to TLK him back, really?!) it’s not completely insane.  They have laid this out as a Phoenix-based story, so dying in a firey blaze and springing back to life is indeed an expected turn of events.  It’s just when you factor in things like, “Writers say he’s dead and never coming back” that it begins to look quite crazy.  🙂

Plus, we have Captain Kirk, and I am sure that trumps all of the other things.  Except it makes me feel bad the tent is such a shanty.  Perhaps I should have accepted some of the gradiose offerings Rainbow wanted to give us, instead of insisting on staying here under this table.  But, you know, the sky is falling after all…
