As I was watching it, I actually enjoyed it for the most part. When it was done, the more I thought about it, the more things I found to nitpick, which became things I want to rant about. I’ll limit it to one rant (for now, partly because I’m just full of expletives right now, so can’t really rant sufficiently on this forum)… A major premise of this half season makes no sense. We have this event where the darkness was stolen from Emma and put into Lily. So now we see how Lily is compulsively dark, she’s a liar, she’s bad news, because that’s how she was made when the darkness got put into her. The darkness that was taken out of Emma. Yet we still see Emma having the option to go dark or light. Yet Lily apparently doesn’t have that choice. Even though it was a singular even that made each of them the way they are. Like…WUT? And it’s a concept that’s at the centre of this current storyline, and IT DOES NOT COMPUTE AND IT BUGS ME. *HEADDESKING FOREVER*
About 20 min before you wrote this, I started a new thread to discuss the whole issue of Emma having no potential to turn dark, yet there is this whole fuss about her turning dark anyway. 🙂
