Okay, so am I the only one who found the flashback in Sunday’s episode horribly shoehorned in? I didn’t think it worked at all.
For me Zelena is becoming the anti-Pan. Everything they did with his backstory integrated perfectly with the existing characters and story (or at least, was entertaining enough that I could forgive little weirdnesses.) Everything they do with her backstory feels hopelessly contrived and tacked on, and I just frankly don’t care that much about her.
Have people in the general forums been complaining about how this episode doesn’t jive with TMD, because….let’s be real, it TOTALLY doesn’t.
If you look at the Cora/Leo/Eva thread in 318, I posted some tweets from people (including Natalie Abrams of TVGuide) who keep wondering how these flashbacks fit in at all.
I was thrown off by them because of the incredible ICK factor.
