I agree with you about the Merpeople thing Myrill. Maybe that’s something they’ll address with a future storyline?
Then again, see Tamara and Greg–I absolutely agree the dramatic impact of their sudden violent deaths was undercut by the feeling they were just plot tools to get Henry to NL.
I’d expected them to die, really, but for it to have more impact on the character development of our regular characters in some way. Rumple kills Tamara and you are right, there was no mercy and it was sort of parallel to his killing Milah. I wish they had played it up more really, but not sure how much more.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
