Papa/Bae relationship thread for angry people

[Marty McFly]

I decided to open a new thread for people who are sick of ouat and hate the direction it is going mostly because they deleted the Papa/Bae relationship from the story. The story of the father who let go of his son’s hand over the portal -after sacrificing so much for him- is the most compelling, heart wrenching story in all of TV. The story of a son who was raised by his coward father who one day became a monster and eventually abandoned him has the most potential for STORY instead of just face-time for actors on screen.

All of this tension all of this back and forth, can he trust him, will he run from him, will he betray him, will he ever know, can he ever apologize enough, will he ever come to the realization? Do they even know each other at all? Also, this whole saga of if (when) the relationship is amended, how it will effect either of their lives.

It became even MORE interesting and juicy when they added the peter-pan-being-the-grandfather revelation. Will Bae understand why his father never told him the truth no matter how much it cost their relationship? Will he ever know the magnitude of Pan’s betrayal of his father, the horrificness of it, the fact that in this abandonment story it was not the father holding onto the son’s hand but the little helpless traumatized son holding desperately to his father’s sleeve. This story didn’t have the father letting go of the son’s hand but the father violently pulling his hand away from his son’s pitiful grasp.

Will Bae ever know? Will he ever know where the name peter pan came from? Will he ever know that it was his baby blanket that kept his father safe in the land without magic? Will he ever know how his father reacted when he thought August was him? How Henry helped August trick Rumple? How Rumple gave Henry that protection from the burning room nightmare? How his father wrote Emma’s name over and over again so that he would remember when she comes to SB? Will Bae ever know that Emma arrested his father and put him in jail for beating someone up? Will he ever know how Regina managed to adopt his son? Will he ever know about his father’s disastrous relationship with Cora and how much he cares for Regina?

I mean OMG! can we make a list of all the potential STORY we could have had if Neal was still around to tell it?

Being critical of a show is perfectly fine. We all know it’s not perfect. But a thread solely dedicated to hating on the show on a forum that is ABOUT the show is unnecessary and frankly unproductive. We have a Bae thread. We have a Rumple thread. You can discuss you feelings on the Bae/Rumple relationship there respectfully and politely without having a HATE thread, which are not allowed on this forum.

 

This thread will be shut down.
