Yeah, I’ve seen this, I recommend as well. Needed a bit more action for my liking but still good and gosh Tom Hiddleston! Why is this man not considered an illegal drug.
A question I too like to ponder 😛
What have these writers DONE to their beautiful show, what??
Honestly, at this point my sense of OUAT is something like this:
Seriously. It’s like the former-loved-one-turned-zombie that against all common reason you keep around. So you lock it in the shed, where it shambles aimlessly, occasionally makes weird groaning noises, and keeps trying to eat your brains whenever you come by to feed it.
Here’s what the SF thread is in this analogy–
You share the duties of caring for the ZombOUAT (ZOUAT?) with a bunch of others who still feel an emotional attachment to the original entity. There’s a bunch of people who’ve since moved on – moved out of the house, if you will — but still come by to bring cookies, booze, and offer moral support. You take turns feeding ZOUAT chicken brains, but mostly hang out, talk about the nature of zombiehood, whether you think there’s a cure, and whether the original personality is till “in there.” And about the various vagaries of its decomposition process.
Hoping against all hope that maybe you’ll wake up one day and the thing in the shed will have snapped out of it. But really, we all know that we’re just binding time until it finally expires.
All along you also know that no cure is coming, and it’d be a mercy to you and to it to just put the damned thing down.
Happy Sunday. 😛
