Whoever posted all those STOP TALKING gifs a bunch of pages ago, there aren’t enough of those gifs in the universe. Eddy in particular needs to keep his damn mouth shut if that’s what’s gonna come out when he opens it. Adam had already got a bunch of @ replies from people disgusted with the message they were sending in another interview, so I imagine as more interviews got published, his @ replies blew up even more. I hope they’ll come to appreciate that the message they’re sending with these interview answers is that they condone behaviour that many people in the real world have SUFFERED through. Behaviour that is absolutely not acceptable!
The thing that keeps me from buying into the crap they spew in interviews on this topic is that Jane Espenson is also a driving force behind this show. A&E might be the top tier, but Jane’s not far below them. She’s a producer as well as arguably the strongest writer on the team, and she’s a strong, intelligent woman. If they really have written the finale that shows Emma finally breaking down and giving in, then why would Jane even jokingly tweet a pic with a caption that Hook is a standup guy? As little confidence as I have in A&E, I’m confident that Jane would flip the table, walk out and never look back if they insisted they were gonna have Emma cave.
As for their comments about Neal, all I can summon is a “pffffft”. They’re proven lying trolls and I wouldn’t have expected them to even remotely imply in interviews that there’s a possibility Neal would come back even if it’s a thing they were gonna do. So, pffffft, they can say whatever they want and it’s not gonna get me off the Conspiracy Train.
