Promo pic? I’m almost afraid to ask …

Still turning everything around and I tried to explain to a casual-viewer friend why I’m so upset. In one line: It felt like they suddenly decided they had to get rid of him.

So they did.

OOC, abrupt, inexplicable. And brutal to the supposed theme of hope.

I still don’t get it.

I can’t help but have that niggling little sense that it really isn’t over, but I can admit my “evidence” isn’t the greatest.

Like others, I was considering the finale title and what “home” might mean to Emma if she, say, got ahold of a powerful magical artifact (such as a pair of shoes …) that would allow her to change everything to go “home.” And I could see the last shots of the episode with Emma and Henry eating breakfast in the apartment … and then Neal emerges from another room and joins them. Stunner! Emma kisses him; Henry smiles. And then there’s a knock at the door … they look up … fade to black.

I suppose A&E have had more amazing twists with their shows, but I figure I probably want this one too much.
