She had a lot more to say at the 31:50 mark, too. She basically said that part of the reason she even wanted to start directing was so that she could have more say in what she works on (despite basically saying before that she probably wouldn’t direct an episode of OUAT): Jennifer Morrison: “When you get involved in a project, you might love the script, you might really love the character, you might believe in it, you might do so much work, and you might be great every day, but you have no control over what parts they choose, you have no control over how they cut it together. And so there could be a lot of great ingredients to a project and it could still end up being a really sh!ty meal. Is that okay to say? *nervous laughter*
Well that’s telling.
I think JMo is slowly coming around to the same feelings as Ginny and Bobby. I think S5A was a wake up call; we know she put a lot of research into trying to create the Dark Swan and in the end, it ended up being all about Hook and Dark Swan wasn’t really that Dark. That must have been frustrating that she has no say in the development of her character anymore–Sean said that they don’t really get a voice anymore (at least in his case)
