And A and E couldn’t even write it themselves. They couldn’t be bothered. They didn’t even let JANE handle it!
And it was so freaking contrived and stupid.
So why make MRJ a regular?
Why tell people to hope. To care. Why do anything like that?
@Phee I wish you would get here"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I miss my dad.
How can Henry ever recover from this?
Easy. You don’t. Take it from someone who knows
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Can we keep this thread alive?! I don’t want to lose you guys but I don’t know if I’ll visit any other areas on the site for a while and gah, I just need you so much right now. It just hurts to much and I need you guys to help me get through this shock. Please can we keep this thread going to help support each other??!
The tears are starting now….yeah, it’s not pretty at all. 😥
#MoreBOOMLessGloomI’m reposting this from the general reaction site
This was…just wrong. I rarely write here, but I felt the need to. I hated Neal’s death. Of all of the cool things I could have said about the episode, this is what overshadowed it all. This death was so rushed and tacked on, I cannot tell you how disappointed I was. It was agonizing. The death itself was wonderfully acted, yes, but I could not shake how horrible it was. Neal didn’t deserve to be killed off as an after thought on the bed of a forest, and having his body just left there. I’m used to character death from everything else I watch, but this was not the way to do it. What was even the point of killing Neal off? He lived a terrible, rough life, and now cannot even move on to his happy ending. Emma has lost her true love. Her happy ending is probably wrecked. For what? To make room for a more “likeable” pairing? Rumpel’s happy ending is wrecked. I mean, come on. He wanted to commit suicide for an entire half of a season when he thought Bae was dead out of sight. Now he’s watched the light leave his son’s eyes, and for what? So Rumpel could say “Zelena” and move the plot forward? Also, because Rumpel is bound to be on the death train after this, Belle’s happy ending is wrecked, too. And when Henry gets his memories, who knows how he’ll react to losing the father he was just learning to love? Even if the speculation is true that MRJ was the actor who was displeased and wanted to leave, they could have handled Neal’s death so much better. However, having this character who’s a good guy but has gotten so much flack, die like this? What is this show doing? There used to be a theme. What is the theme here? It’s just offensive to people like RG, as seen above. They couldn’t so much as push in some sort of memory potion stuff to let Henry at least see his dad again? There’s already been terrible writing to bring back the blue fairy. Why not something to make this less of a crappy thing to swallow? If I were watching something else, then I wouldn’t find this to be so insulting. However, this is a show that has principles that people watch for. Themes and morals that it’s audience expects. This poorly placed death is such a finger to all of that.

So long as I am here, it will never die.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"What hurts the most is that his dad WANTED to be there. My son’s father can’t be bothered to see, call or care about him. He’ll grow up without a dad because his dad fails as a parent.. Henry had a dad who GAVE HIS SOUL for the chance to find him without blinking an eye and now he’ll grow up without him. He’ll be cheated out of getting to call an amazing person his father all because of this failure of a story.
Yup
AND
apparently next week Zelena interrupts Neal’s funeral
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I haven’t even cried over this yet but boy can I feel it building inside me right now. It’s not going to be pretty when it finally lets itself out.
WWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!???? I know. I feel like we need like, a 10-way call or skype or something for when it hits. I don’t want to be alone when it does 🙁 Because for me, it’s not just the end of Neal. It’s the disappointment rushing in. It’s reality crashing about my favorite show. It hurts. This was the middle of the season by writers who don’t have the best track record in the middle of all-about-the-wicked-witch. They think that she’s enough to keep people and that his death is just a piece of the puzzle in her story. Ugh. I just can’t.

I miss my dad.

I’m so sorry RG for your loss. I adore my dad to piece, and I’ve been privileged to have him all of my life. I’m so very very sorry.
Henry, although fictional, represents so many children who never really get to know their fathers. And Neal loved his boy. Truly and utterly loved him. Henry was all Neal had left in this world or the next.
Oh goodness, this show has serious problems. A&E must love to torture the ‘Stiltskin men. How are Rumple and Henry, let alone Emma, supposed to just “get over” this tremendous loss? No one can ever take the place of a father or a son. No one.
