    Hilariously, Robin dressed up like a flying monkey guard, engaged in an arrow fight with Zelena, pocketed a pretty necklace, and learned such an important lesson from the Knave about honor amongst thieves that he decided to abandon his Applebee’s and start a Communist colony out in the forest.

    *choked on milk*

    Wow that’s a great face.

    Two more GA friends of mine are quitting the show. Last night was the last straw for one and the other was so upset that she actually tweeted Troll #1 and told him what she really thought of the show. These are two of the most easygoing, friendly people I know and even THEY are now done. Hope it was worth it Disney….

    *flips a table for them too* 🙁

    Rumple is being forced to ensure a happy ending for the woman who killed his son and mind-raped him for a year.

    And we are supposed to be excited by her return.

    This. Please give input on the full discussion. My reaction when they announced her return:
    Noooooooooo!!!!

    I’m actually beginning to wonder if Zelena is even capable of being destroyed. Which, naturally, only makes more annoying. Just give her a sleeping curse; stick her in that Burning Red Room. Elphaba is my WWotW.

    I’m guessing — based on the fact that none of this happened in S1 or during “Manhatten” — Rumpel’s return was only meant to be temporary (in-universe), just so another Dark One could be found.

    Happy Tuesday. I’ll be out all day, sadly.

    Yassss! While I actually like Zelena (even though im in a real dark place with her right now for obvious reasons) Book-Elphaba will always be my favorite version of the Wicked Witch.

    I don’t have time to really catch up and read what’s been said, but wow, that episode wasn’t just jump-the-shark bad, it was a full-on Sharknado of sharks jumping over us to change what has been written before.  This wasn’t just “retroactive continuity”–this was pretty much discontinuous with what the writers previously told us happened.

    Let’s start with how confusing it was to see three time periods.  In the present, all action ground to a halt about the Author (a plot that still doesn’t make sense).  Then we jump to Robin’s adventures in NY.  Then we jump to his adventures in the past meeting Rumple and Oz.

    So I’m extremely confused why Robin in Wonderland didn’t recognize Will, nor Will him when Will was with Anna and stealing Mal’s mirror.  It sounded like this meeting with Will was pre-Anna, since Will felt broken due to the loss of his sister, like he couldn’t be with someone romantically until he felt whole or something.

    I’m also confused how Belle recognized Robin if he used the clover when attempting to steal from Rumple back when Robin was played by that other actor.

    I’m confused by the shift in Robin’s “I owe a debt of honor to Rumple” attitude that he displayed in Season 3 back when he was talking to Neal in Rumple’s castle.  Let’s face it, that debt should have been to Belle anyway, but I digress.  This version’s suspicion towards Rumple really felt over the top because Robin left before Rumple’s big “I’m still a bad guy” reveal, so Robin still should be thinking of him as reformed like everyone else was.

    I skimmed the quoted parts of Lily’s review–and I have to agree.  I can’t buy the “it was Zelena all the time” excuse, because for me, I can’t reconcile  that moment when Marian was all alone, facing down a SNOW MONSTER looming over her, and she grabbed a BOW.  She could not have known Regina would even appear, and then once she did, that Regina would save her.  I’m not going to cut the writers slack and write in the fifty scenes in between that help make sense of what we got versus what they’re now implying they wrote.

    Sort of like Regina having Neal’s keys in the first place.  There was a time I”d insist that offscreen Henry got the keys, and there were some heartfelt scenes that Regina and Henry had about Neal dying, and then when Robin was leaving with Henry saying “Hey take these..Neal would want Robin to be with his son, like he helped him get back to me.” but–no.  They didn’t show it, so it didn’t happen.

    Because you know, even when they DO show something, I’ll tune in next week and find out, it didn’t happen either.

     

    “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

    Regina has everyone’s keys. We already knew that.
