ParticipantLol. Yes the birds do all the work obviously.
Wow 1400 pages of pure true love and utter insanity. Should I laugh or should I cry? Or both?

Both. Coupled with drinking

ParticipantWell our ship may not be, but at least our thread is full of win. Happy 1400 seems wrong, so perhaps we’ll go with, bittersweet 1400, all.
Don’t worry. Henry will be revealed as actually the child of The Little Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe & Prince Nobody by 4×03. Emma has no kids, she was just so bored in jail she made up her own headcanon :/
Cause this story needs some mending & a better happy ending...

ParticipantEmma calling herself “Princess Leia” just made me think of something… Han Solo. Neal is Han Solo.
Han Solo was a thief, but he always knew how to get himself out of a sticky situation. He did everything for the woman he loved, even sacrificing himself for her. This is Neal – all about him.

Don’t tell A and E that. They seem to have missed that lesson.

ParticipantBarbara Barnett wrote a critical review of the finale. She’s a BIG Rumple fan and she said this half a season ruined the character for her. Wow. She also had a critical review of Hook in the comments.

ParticipantWell, that was probably the original plan. The one the dog ate in the early teens of the season. Then nobody could remember who was Han Solo and who was Luke so they just started plopping people places in the story.

ParticipantBtw, does anyone else feel that Hook gave Emma a bit too much credit in one of his speeches? He said that she defeated Pan and Zelena, but that’s not entirely true. In fact, in both cases Emma had very little to do with it. Rumple killed Pan and Regina disarmed Zelena and then Rumple killed her aswell. And while I’m at it, Regina broke the second curse with Henry. What exactly is Emma’s purpose these days?
That bothered me SO much! Those things weren’t even true. At all! How can they write this crap? Do they not remember their own story from a few episodes ago? SO frustrating. It is blatant carelessness.

Yes this is the perfect example of writers being inside their own bubble and ignorant of the goings on around them.

ParticipantReally glad to hear the critics speaking out against things this episode, and half-season.
Just logged onto Facebook to find that Other Roomie posted about the show last night – in short, how wrong it was. I’ve actually taken care to cloud her viewpoint very little, and although she has been told on multiple occasions Neal was dead-dead, I know she was waiting for him to return last night. Let’s face it: they killed one of their core characters, set up the expectation that time travel could resurrect him, enacted the time travel episode, reminded us that he is the heroine’s definition of home, and gave the character with the means & motivation to save him the information necessary. And then… no. Talk about whiplash for GA, who had no spoiler of doom, and no forewarning that this one, singular time, dead really meant dead and there would be no magical plot exception. Even WITH that knowledge, Other Roomie was clearly devastated last night – really, as far as someone who doesn’t ship goes, very devastated.
It’s horrible storytelling, really. How do you kill a character, tease a return, have the means to easily and logically execute said return and then not deliver?
Coming at it from that angle, it feels exceptionally cruel.
