Yes, I’m on the fence too. It could be a set up to just hand-waive away previous development and create a whole new dynamic between everyone. The part that’s most thought provoking here is that “not everyone can be trusted”. What to make of that? Once again, no mention of Neal. We never get the assurance that Neal and Emma will have scenes together and time to truly deal with the things that have happened to them–some fairy tale obstacle is always in the way. I’m trying to take Slurpeez’s words and kindle that flame of hope that the writers will not just do a rug sweep here and that there will be some payoff to the storyline and all the set-up with things like putting Emma in NYC, having her keep the bug, and other elements. Sigh…March is a long way, and I’m seriously tempted to just delay watching the whole thing too, as it may be more enjoyable to just be in my own thoughts and let it unfold as it will. Spoilers are always a double-edged sword. You get a hint, perhaps ruin something by pre-judging what is going to happen before it does but sometimes it encourages you to keep watching.
“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
