I finally understand what many of you felt after Quiet Minds. A blatant lack of care from the people at the top, and a tearing away of what you loved about the show. I had faith in Adam and Eddy. And, unfortunately, this episode has dashed that. This is my least favourite episode of Once to date.
I try to stay as positive as I can about the show, but I have to agree that the writers have basically destroyed the show and I do think the real destruction began way back in Quiet Minds when they killed off Baelfire. It’s certainly had it good moments since then, but the overall story is just a big mess of dropped plot lines, confusing timelines and flip floppy characters.
As for this particular episode I agree with the general consensus that it was jumbled, rushed and confusing. Does Zelena have her magic back? When did that happen? Why is Rumple golden? I love imp Rumple (he’s actually my very favorite Rumple) but some reason for it would’ve been nice.
