This is how I feel about the fandom today…
I’ve been busy as of late and haven’t been able to post much, but when I did come back, *beep* just hit the fan about recent spoilers and all I can do is *sigh*
Not about Neal’s death because I’m past the point of caring anymore. But about the whole reaction from everyone, as if they already seen it happen.
*Cue my eye rolling* All I want is CONTEXT and that’s the part where a lot of people don’t get it. They let assumptions rule them. Which annoys the heck out of me.
And let me just point out that a lot of the pap photos and people interpretations/speculation have been wrong thus far, unless it’s as clear as day (ex Rumple stabbing Pan with the knife).
-Lack of photos of BTS Neal in Neverland, when he was pretty much there from eps 3×01, 3×03-3×11
-Pap photos of dock scene (people thought it was Emma and Hook when it was Ariel and Eric)
-Lack of photos of Neal at the dock scene when they all came back from Neverland (He pretty much ate up 90% of the actual ep scene, vs 90% pap photos of Hook. I remember people actually thought Neal was left behind in Neverland)
-Pap photos of Emma and Hook walking side by side when they discover BF was dead (1. Neal was actually there. 2. They never held hands like people assumed)
-Pap photos of Walsh kissing Emma on forehead (Never made the cute)
-Pap photos of Hook and Emma hugging after the potion (Never made it into the show)
-Pap photos of Emma, Hook and Henry in the bug (Was literally 1-2 min scene with NO Interaction between them inside)
These are just some instances that I can think of from the top of my head at the moment.
So yeah… people can get off their high horse and claim it’s concrete that Neal will die It’s not, at least not yet. Until I see CONTEXT of which direction the show is going, I’ll decide for myself if A&E are pulling a fast one or not.
I’m just going to enjoy the episode for what it is. What we do know for sure is that Neal will be back and see Emma again. What happens afterwards is up in the air.
