You know what I realised the other night? The sorcerer’s house in 4A makes completely no sense because Merlin is the sorcerer and he never had a house in Storybrooke because he was a tree in Camelot for hundreds of years. Where did that house come from? Literally it’s only purpose was for RumBelle to have their honeymoon there, even though it was a completely random house. Does Belle make a habit of sneaking into other people’s houses to have sex with Rumple?
Yeah, I wrote in a different place:
Did they forget about last season already?!? What about the hat? What about the mansion? What about the door? What about all of this suddenly appearing in Storybrooke while Merlin was a tree and all his stuff were in a tower in Camelot anyway?!? What about all that character build up for a whole season just to kill him in the most ridiculous way?!?
And I also wrote:
They never explained how anything we saw in season 4 is connected to what we got in 5A and it even contradicts it. Why some of Merlin’s things like the hat, the door, the empty books moved to Storybrooke in the SECOND curse while in 5A we learn that Merlin was a tree the whole time and that all his stuff were in a tower in Camelot, which wasn’t affected by the curse. They did a good job building a mysterious character and they blew it with his revelation. This is what I’m talking about when I say Lazy because they never bothered themselves to sit down and connect everything, they just wrote stuff as they went. We need something to motivate Rumple to be evil again, Disney item preferable – a hat, we need to get rid of Frozen characters – a door, we need to have Emma tether the darkness to herself – a backstory of how Merlin fought The Darkness and tether it to a human soul, we need a cool exposition scene – Merlins warns Emma, we need the heroes to have some obstacle – Merlin stuck in a tree, we need Merlin’s backstory to parrallel Hook and Emma’s love story – a completely different backstory about him tethering The Dark One to a dagger. They didn’t think about it in advanced and map everything and said this piece is going to be revealed in x and that piece will be revealed in Y, they pretty much got to a point where they think the fans either don’t care(by what fans twitting them I can understand why) or that the fans would do the job of connecting everything by themselves and I don’t like being treated that way by the writers of a show that I really got invested in. I know they can do better because they already did it with Baelfire.
