KeymasterUgh. I almost hate to keep doing this … but did you notice he said “Stay tuned” … TWICE? Interesting choice.
He didn’t flat out say that he’s completely left the show at any point. Adam’s tweet made it sound more like that though. MRJ is pure class!
Adam’s tweet just sent me into a blind rage
“We love MRJ!!! Want to work with him again!!!”
Omg. Are you kidding me right now?

ParticipantOh I’m still grasping along with you, theoniongirl, you’re not alone.

Yeah. But neither was like, “byeeeee!” I just want a door slammed in my face. Not because I necessarily have any hope (I don’t), but it’s just so absurd and such crappy writing and inconsistency with like, the entire show and even dialogue 2 episodes ago… that can’t help but wonder if that weirdness is because of a loophole. I just want it to be gone. I want confirmation that it’s really that ridiculous and absurd.

ParticipantRe: Adam’s tweet… I don’t think I could stomach him being misused again and I don’t trust them to do otherwise. He was NEVER given a chance. His character was shafted EVERYTIME. Even his f—ing wake is f—ing ruined.

ParticipantThat’s good to know in a strange sort of way. He really did dance around it. That just might be being the classy sorta guy he is. But …
Sure, he said Neal’s “death” was bold. But Rumple “died” too. And the Blue Fairy.
And they did say a death (besides Rumple’s) would be reversed. They cited the whole “shadow” thing.
Sigh.

ParticipantTV Line is picking up this story from Mikey’s messages with the byline that Matt’s still trying to get answers to some burning questions so we should come back and check again. Here’s the link in case you want to read it:

And Adam has retreated again. He says he has been watching but he won’t talk to anyone. He knows. He knows this was a horrible choice and not bold storytelling even in the slightest

ParticipantIt’s petty and aweful from me and I admit it, I hope next week, ratings drop badly.
Sorry 😡

I feel you! Apart from these tweets, there’s still so much other stuff that just feels off. Nothing about it feels resolved.

ParticipantA Tribute to Baelfire. I haven’t written anything in the forums for a while…but I just felt like I needed to say something about him. I owe it.
Baelfire was a hero. He was brave, kind, and selfless. And he was good. True to his heart, as anyone ever was. And with everything he could desire- all he wanted was to have a family. His good heart was not tainted- even though he suffered through abandonment, betrayal, pain, loss and hardship. His life was truly a sorrowful one- and for all the good he was, he did not deserve all the pain he lived through.
Bae deserved…so much more. He deserved to have a mother. He deserved to grow up with his father. He deserved to find true love. He deserved to have the family that he had always had been longing for. But it was not to be- because he was left by his mother, abandoned by his father. Betrayed by people he trusted, and sent to grow up in another world alone.
Years later, Bae found Emma- and he fell for her. She was the one bright spot of happiness in his life of sadness. But when posed with the choice of letting the woman he truly loved go and be with her family or keeping her for himself, our selfless Bae chose to let her go. How could he deny Emma the joy of being with her family, when he knew she longed for a family just as he did? So with a broken heart, Bae walked away from the only happiness he’d found- because he thought it was in Emma’s best interest. He only wanted her to be happy- and to him, her happiness was more important than his own.
Later, upon reuniting, his heart was broken all over again when realizing what he’d done to Emma- leaving her with a child. He got to know his son- and later, he sacrificed himself again- so that Emma and Henry could be together. And again he was betrayed by someone close to him- (Tamara.) And not to mention- Neal ended up forgiving his Father, even after his father abandoned him. As fate would have it, eventually Bae was reunited with his family again- only to lose his father, and then proceed to lose Emma and his son once again.
So. Much. Pain.
He then fought with everything he had left in him to get back to them. He ended up saving his father, yet again sacrificing his own happiness- giving his life to save everyone. To save his family. He died in Emma’s arms- a hero. But even while he was dying, his concern wasn’t for himself- but for Emma and Henry. He made her promise that they would be happy- while he was drawing his last breaths.
How beautiful is that? He was so good. He was.
A hero who lived a sorrowful life full of pain. He deserved so much more than what he got. He deserved to be happy- and he deserved SO MUCH to be loved. Neal will never be forgotten- and nor will his sacrifices. He will always have a place in Emma’s heart- and he will always have a place in ours. Forever.
Sorry…I just needed to write that. <3 -from a truly devastated one.
