I am so tired of this whole “town line” thing. The explanation was very hand-wavey: “Oh it’s Ingrid’s leftover magic and there’s absolutely nothing we can do”. Didn’t they say that when Ingrid cast the Spell of Shattered Sight, it took all of her magic? (Hence Arendelle melting)
And the only reason Marian was still freezing was for the OutlawQueen drama. There’s no real reason for it to have happened.
Ingrid’s magic was so plot devicey in this ep. It’s gone enough to break the big bad nasty evil spell so everyone’s safe. It’s gone enough that they can take the wall down. It’s not gone enough to take down the town barrier. It’s gone enough that Marian thawed out. It’s not gone enough that she can’t re-freeze. What is consistency?!?!?
The entire situation just sucked and was set up so there could be no “winners” because Robin won’t easily be able to get Regina out of his head, Regina is heartbroken, and Marian is stuck with a husband in love with another woman.
Yup, pretty much. I didn’t like how Marian was treated. She was even willing to stand up and step aside and was more understanding of the situation than I’d have been. But then they had to go and have her standing in front of everyone at the town line with every single one of them looking at her and knowing that Robin was only leaving with her out of forced obligation. That’s humiliating for her.
I think the best situation would be Robin falling back in love with Marian the more he comes to remember that earlier love. It is possible to fall back in love with someone you loved before, especially now that they are the only two adults from their world, alone against the world, fending for their son. Yet, the way it was written was such that it seems that Robin is going to carry a flame for Regina.
It’s infuriating that they established in the previous ep that old love can be rekindled and just forgot about it in this ep.
I’m sure Robin will be back. I’m sure the ring will play a part and it’ll be incredibly romantic when he finds a way back to Regina and puts the ring back on her finger. And I’m sure I still won’t warm up to them because I’m just not a fan of how they’ve been written thus far.
