    The fact they never got a TLK, despite the opportunities for it are very interesting. Very, very interesting.

    Their heart was never in it. That’s why they’re gonna try SF again with Henry and Lucy’s mother. Just sped up since S7 is probably the end.

    That might be a good thing, as far as the show is concerned, because A&E don’t seem able to sustain a long story.

    Emma and Graham had like 7 episodes together and their story was a better story than what we ended up with.

    And they shared True Love’s kiss. How funny.

    Mmhm.

    I mean Emma would share TLK with anyone. She’s literally True Love Incarnate. If, in S1, she went around and kissed everyone one by one, their curse would break one by one. It’s the same thing that happened in Firebird when CSers think they got TL confirmation but it was more that Emma would save anyone in that situation because 1) she’s a mostly decent person and 2) she’s TL incarnate.

    Henry is her ultimate true love. With him she was able to break the whole curse. With him she was able to fulfill her role as savior in the finale.

    Not with Hook. Not even with her mother and father.

    With her child that she had with Neal. That’s true love. That’s destiny. That’s fate.

    I never will because THAT was the true love story being told. *sigh*


    @rumplesgirl
    – Exactly who is Elena of Avalor? Was she made up for a pre-school Disney show?! Or was she at least based on a Spanish language fairy tale or real-life Spanish princess?

    Also, ALL the COOKIES to Screwball Ninja for that epic essay rant!

    Pretty sure she’s purely made up and has no basis in any folklore/myth/tale.

    nevermore wrote: For example, do we know if JMo was on board with CS?

    She’d toe the company line and be positive whenever asked about it in interviews. But she’s also the one who chose that wedding dress for Emma, and do we really think that JMo has no idea about the implications of that particular dress? I don’t think it’s coincidence that Emma has gradually become more haggard looking over the last couple of seasons. I think that was something that JMo was projecting, because of how she felt about the nonsense they kept giving her to say and do on camera. What was the comment on her haitus haircut photo…3 years of baggage cut off, or words to that effect?

    I hadn’t read that comment by JMo about baggage. Whoa! Where is that tweet? This is an interesting read by Screwball Ninja, who thinks JMo basically gave the show the bird in coded PR speech. From Screwball’s essay:

    Her exit statement said she was “creative and personally done”– that’s the PR equivalent of “I want to take off and nuke this show from orbit.” Personally, I think it’s politically unwise to burn bridges, although JMo might be at “Bridge Over the River Kwai” status at this point.

    It was her Instagram when she hacked off half her hair. IIRC it was the person who cut off her hair who made the baggage comment.

    JMo basically gave the show the bird in coded PR speech

    Well if you’re a conspiracy theory nut, there’s been a lot of chatter that JMo has been sending messages to ABC for awhile now through social media (mostly Instagram) that some read as “executive producer or I walk…” type. (I’ll try to find the EFNewsService post where they laid it out….)

    ETA: Found it! (Thanks to @rainbow)

    But, basically, if made EP I guess JMo would have more creative control over the show–stories, direction, and character. It makes one think, to be sure.
