watching season 1 made me think… I refuse to believe that A&E, who reportedly sat for ten years planning this show, would let a pretty-boy decimate such a beautiful work of art! There is no way an artist would allow anyone to defecate all over his/her artwork. Therefore, I believe that this whole hook situation was a ruse. The authors are stringing us along. No one has ever seen the effects of a strong love potion on this show, YET. There has been talk about it. Regina wanted to use it on Henry during season 2. But the audience were never fooled by one yet. (unless Cora used one on Regina, but I don’t think she needed to) And if the residents of StoryBrooke are going to the dead-land, well, bad dead people are just as dead as good dead people. The underworld can’t possibly be their last stop. Neal is coming back! it’s not as though hook is made into some really good guy with a sad back story. he killed his own father. and, no, I am sorry, but his daddy issues are not anything compared to Cora’s kids’ mommy issues, or Rumple’s daddy issues or Bae’s abandonment story or even Pan’s daddy selling him to a blacksmith. RG said that Hook’s father sold him and his brother to a captain on a ship?? and then they ended up being a respectable captain and lieutenant? doesn’t sound like he sold them to very bad people. maybe he just gave them up, to give them their best chance? the writing is purposely not giving hook a very sympathetic backstory, because they are throwing breadcrumbs of clues for us to see when we go back to watch earlier episodes after his villainy is revealed. ouat likes to repeat story lines. so Tamara and Walsh will simply be repeated but in big this time. they will bring all the good people back, and… neal is coming baaack!!!!! (hope. hope can be very painful. but still, hope.)
A&E and planning don’t go in the same sentence. I think their plan for the show can be summed as “a show about fairytales” and nothing more.
Anything they did since 3B was not for “the art” but for ratings: fanservice, ships driven, Disney cash grab.
