oh… i need to get one more thing off my chest so I can concentrate today.
I was not crazy about the baby being named Neal announcement either.
Not that I mind him being named for Neal himself. I understand that Snowing wanted to name the baby for someone, my family does that as well.
Its the Neal was a ‘hero’ part that bugs me. He was NOT a hero. this is like the 5th time in the last month with them going on about St Neal. He started this whole mess – domino 1. I truly get why he did it… he was desperate for his father that he finally reconciled with and his long lost love and didnt want to be separated from the son he just found out he had. I totally get it and can see doing the same thing – anything.
But it was step one is all the hurt and pain that was to follow. The memory potion was a good step towards mitigation but the ‘sacrificing’ / split from Rumple was not heroic. Regina, Rumple and Hook all did things in desperation and we called a spade a spade… but for Neal he is bumped to hero status. Not buying it.
so again – name the baby Neal to honor the memory of a man you all loved and miss but not because of his good deeds.
