Many of us who are now disillusioned with the show feel that way because we feel that A&E have lied to us about the basic moral and message that drives their show. If we feel like they’ve already lied to us, why would we accept what they say in interviews as being gospel, as opposed to them playing with words and being trolls, (we’ve all called them trolls before for their interviews, in a more lighthearted way, only thing that’s changed is now we say it with a negative connotation). I trust Matt Mitovitch to honestly relay any information he’s given.
I do not trust the people who gave him said information.
Simple as that.
It’s another thing for them to tell Mitovitch that Michael is leaving the show and that the death sticks, -though. If they were going to reverse the death then they would have been more ambiguous, like when Rumple “died.” The interview also gives off the impression that Matt was told back in January that the permanent death was Neal. There’s a difference between being ambiguous and lying. –
