    OK, I’ve gotta say it. I thought it the first time I saw Quiet Minds, and I thought it every episode since. The response to Bealfire’s death was too mild. I’m not even going to talk about the last episode and” I am ready to let go of the past” which is probably the biggest OOC moment for Emma to date…but even in the episode he died it was ….meh for me. My biggest shock was Rumpel. Emma at least had a propper reaction but Rumel’s reaction was too mild for someone who spent 300 years looking for his son. He was just “nothing we can do”… That’s definitely not the Rumpel we know. He gave up too soon, barely even spilled a tear. His reaction to Neal’s death in 2nd season was way more in character. Oh well, why am I shocked? It seems they’ve all moved on. Let’s not dwell on it, right? The awful thing is I really like Hook but the way they are just shoving CS down are throats makes me dislike him every day more.

    My best friend is a very mild CS shipper. He like their chemistry. He just finished 3×17 and send me a message that he hates what they’ve done to Hook. He just wants Hook off the show now because they’ve totally ruined him for my Bestie.

    If Rumple never mentions Neal ever again…..*rage*

    I saw this article in EW about “pop culture” fatigue and it made me think of OUAT.  It didn’t mention it in there, but it was about how with some series it is better to step back from the echo chamber of everyone else’s reactions and thoughts and just watch something on your own.  You can connect better sometimes without the “conversation” coloring everything you see, the hype from the media and other fans, and just focus on the story in a lighter, less thinking-too-hard-way.

    I never analyzed Charmed.  I just watched.  I knew some things totally didn’t make sense and I didn’t care, at first.  I liked the characters overall but they had their strained seasons so eventually I hit a point where I just didn’t feel like tuning in, and I think I missed the series finale.   So when I remember that, with Rose McG to be playing Cora again, perhaps I can get into that mindset and start watching again.   If I remember that OUAT has moved firmly to a campy story, a soap-opera centered on a family that just happens to have magic when its convenient for a plot device for the writers, but not with any intent to develop a coherent mythology of that magic, then I won’t feel frustrated by it.     There’s no attempt to ground the magic in a sense of reality.  Things happen and characters are just written as being oblivious of things you think ought to matter or surprisingly knowledgeable about things you wouldn’t have guessed they should know.  Some things directly contradict or indirectly other ones–its a mess, but if I’m just watching for costumes, “live action” reimagined fairy-tales, plot and special effects? Maybe it’ll be entertaining.  I started watching Agents of Shield and I treat it that way–don’t ask, just watch. I look at the other shows on ABC’s lineup, and I think maybe that’s what the network wants from its writers–look at Scandal, Revenge and the rest. So I just need to realize that what I was hoping the writers could do, like say having some story about the fresh start in SB Ruby mentioned, or magic vs science or even democracy with Regina Mills, Mayor versus the feudal life under the Charmings–that’s just NEVER going to be a storyline the writers are interested in portraying.

    I also have no hope of Neal returning, and actually, I just wish they’d written his death and the aftermath in a more meaningful way.  To bring him back would be even more contrived magical hand-waiving that makes me cringe to even guess how they do that, though I guess there is the whole theme of a spirit world, MAP’s untold story and the fact this wasn’t a non-magical death.    If they do go there, maybe it will be Dylan brought back–the ultimate cake and eat it too solution from the writer’s POV, so Rumple gets his happy ending after all, but Neal still doesn’t, because well, he achieved what he needed or whatever it was the writers said.

    If they do that, I’ll be back to ship the  inevitable teen soap angst when teenage Bae and teen Henry fight over Grace/Paige–that is if the show is not mercifully cancelled before the writers get that far.

     

    “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

    Oh gosh, don’t give them ideas.

    That is my thing about Rumple, from some pics from last epis we got, appears that Zelena no longer controls him since he is walking around, however no report of RC filming in the cemetery, that we know, i said 3 times neal name mentioned until 322, now im even thinking that will be none, with this of everyone wanting to move on and being OOC.

    I’m seriously trying to slap myself awake. I had a horrible nightmare that Neal died, and died OOC. Then Emma forgot about him and is getting puppy dog eyes with Hook. Hook desperately wants to kiss Emma but has cursed lips. And everyone is in town is harking towards CS.

    *Wakes*

    *BEEP! It wasn’t a dream!*

    🙁

    Well wonder if emma will start calling Mom and Dad to snow and david, i mean if she wants to forget the past, she has to forget also everything that happened to her in this world.
