ParticipantWhat hurt the most was Emma and Henry on a bench, for the second time, discussing the fact that his dad was gone…while poor Rumple…
No. I can’t. There HAS to be a way to undo this. It’s too dark for even THIS show.

ParticipantI think my mom was more concerned about me because I couldn’t stop crying for hours.
My hubs was upset that I was crying about TWITTER! Gah! I haven’t even watched the ep and am traumatized.

ParticipantIf you want your opinions to be considered for this week’s in-depth podcast, please send me your feedback. This is my final week doing it, but it’s a really good chance for the pro-Neal point of view to be heard clearly. You may have already heard, I’ve chosen to step back from this responsibility because I don’t enjoy the social media aspect of this show as a whole anymore, outside of this thread. Anyway, this will be the final week I have a say in what gets reviewed in the podcast. You could always write an epitaph or a short obituary for Neal Cassidy. Or just write a paragraph about how you think the episode went. I can’t guarantee it’ll make it in, since Daniel has final say, but I’ll make suggestions.
@RG – I’m thankful you’ll actually get a chance to voice your perspective. I know it can’t be easy, but you speak for most of us about the lackluster way Neal’s ending was handled.
"That’s how you know you’ve really got a home. When you leave it, there’s this feeling that you can’t shake. You just miss it." Neal Cassidy

There isn’t.
Honestly. I know we’re clinging to hope but ONCE just showed me that this is no point in hoping.

ParticipantIt would be EASIER for her to loose Neal than to face all the pain they went through??
Seriously, it’s like Neal’s first “death” didn’t even happen. It’s like it is completely ignored. With that line, they were setting up all of us for character development. “Let’s see just what she means by that by what develops with them in the story to come.” But nope. It’s like it didn’t even happen.

ParticipantUgh, the more I think about this, the more it reminds me of what happened to JMo on House. Her character pretty much became the Neal of that show and she got written off in a horrible way that was way out of character and then when they brought her back later for closure, the entire story changed and it made her character actually look worse. Even worse, from what I’ve read, the creators and other actors all pretty much didn’t talk about her leaving (IIRC, she didn’t even get a goodbye party) so Jen had to handle ALL the backlash by herself. I don’t think she even knew her status with the show for a while because of all the misleads and wrong information that floated around it. I watched it all unfold on DVD so it was easy to just stop watching the DVDs after Jen left but dang, watching that live would have made me stop watching that show too. I hate when good characters get assassinated like that. That could explain Jen’s Twitter silence if she’s remembering her time with House and how she ended up leaving that show. 🙁
BTW-Maybe we could open up the chat room that Laurels made for us a while back to chat about things for a while? We can chat about The Voice, Twizzling, start watching Terriers together, watch Wonderland later this week, Grimm or other shows, knitting/crocheting and other assorted crafts, and any other random things that are much happier than thinking about OUAT and their horrible message. I’m up for it (I don’t want to alienate the other folks in chat because I do like them but I just can’t handle all the OUAT talk right now) and thought you guys might be up for this too. *HUGS*

I think you just put into words the displacement that I feel over all of this and it was like a lightbulb went off. It is too dark for this show. This is why I keep feeling like this isn’t the show I signed up for. It’s not.
It is dark. A father searches for his son for 300 years, finds him, only to have him die in his arms because plot and magic.
