Even “rekilling” Milha (as terrible as it was) is down to Hades threatening his unborn child. Rumple already showed he’s willing to kill to protect his kids. It doesn’t excuse Rumple at all, but I guess it frames it in a way that is understandable. Even Emma killed Cruella to protect Henry.
Oh, absolutely — and I know you’re not a “Rumple apologist” (lulz) — I think I probably fit that bill more than you, though even I have increasing trouble seeing Rumple as compelling, even as a foil 🙂 And don’t get me started on the replacement baby thing — what is it with this show and the “salvation by replacement baby” theme? Seriously? Snow, Zelena and now Rumple. I just don’t understand how writers who have the actual real life experience of being parents can come up with such nonsense.
I suppose what I was getting at is that in the last 2 seasons, but especially s5, Rumple seems to have ceased experiencing “independent” character growth, as so much of his character’s past and present milestones seem to be used or retconned to further Hook’s trajectory. It’s like his character has become a function of Hook’s. Hence my pessimistic prediction that the revenge plot will be another way to ultimately whitewash Hookio while using Rumple to create an artificial sense of Hook’s character progress. I hope I’m totally wrong.
More generally, in Lily Sparks’ words, OUAT has essentially become about manpain. Even Regina’s been sidelined in favor of the collective manpain. It was fine in balanced doses in the early seasons, when all the other characters were given equal attention, but it’s disproportionally overtaken the show. I suppose I am admittedly biased: while I’m willing to sit through Rumple’s manpain because Bobby makes the character interesting despite the often reprehensible writing decisions, I just can’t bring myself to extend the same courtesy to Hook, or to CS.
[adrotate group="5"]I have seen some huge dearie and Bobby fan, saying online that eh knows from inside sources that that Bobby sign for a S6 but said he will only do S6, bc the show still has in their minds that OUAT will last at least until S7, but that Bobby said no S7

Just saw the script tease, im wondering from which teen soap opera they copied that? I mean that doesnt even sound a dialogue written by professional writers. However my reaction to that script “fan pandering” tease was this.
But now on a more serious tone, the show writers win a lot of money to write that type of script, right? yeah, cant do it, still laughing a lot.

In other exciting news, MRJ has now instagram and facebook.

It stood out to me when he said it, but I was too busy rolling my eyes to think much more of it.
This is exactly how it went for me. I was too busy groaning and muttering about never ending cycles.

And THAT is really it.
I have nothing constructive to say.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"That script tease: I couldn’t take it seriously. It’s as if it’s from a parody.
Anyway:

Look at how excited they were…this is what it should have been.

Ok well that Henry GIF set just made me tear up at 7 am, so thanks for that.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Look at how excited they were…this is what it should have been.
That only makes me mad, bc besides Colin and Sean, all the rest simply pretend in public that MRJ was never in the show. UGh, but then i remember the support for all the other people that worked with him in other projects and all is good.

From Tumblr:
The notion of “I will wait for you to be ready” is always, always, always more romantic and captivating than the “I will win you over and you’ll be mine” mentality. Every. Single. Time.
