Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I would like to see OQ sort of have a “let’s start again” moment and actually have them re-introduce themselves to each other and pretend 3B and 4A never happened so that they are literally starting with a blank slate.
The idea behind OQ is a good one (a second chance at love after the death of a true love), however, where OQ has fallen short in the show for me is the execution. I don’t feel like OQ have emotionally connected, they’ve just kind of been thrown together “because pixie-dust says so”. If OQ start again, not only does it give the chance for them to be honest with each other, such as Regina actually mentioning the Marian imprisonment thing and even adding that it was nothing personal against Marian but was just because Marian helped Snow, but it also gives them the chance to emotionally connect on an actual level.
Have Regina talk about her past as the evil queen, have her express remorse for some of the things she has done because she has grown as a person, have her explain the Marian thing. Have Robin talk about his feelings and how he’s been affected by the Marian thing and whatever he’s worked out with Marian now in regards to Roland. There are so many levels they could take OQ if they actually gave the time to meaningfully develop it as a romantic relationship instead of just calling the two characters a couple and throwing them at the audience saying “accept it”. I wouldn’t mind if they showed OQ on a date actually getting to know each other. I’d also like for Regina to get some of her snark and sass back. I get that she’s obviously going to be a bit softer around Robin, much like Rumple is softer around Belle, however, 3B and 4A made Regina a bit too whiny and pining for my tastes.
So in conclusion, I think OQ has good potential, and I could potentially ship it, if only the writers would let them emotionally connect on a deeper level than they are doing now.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixI agree @priceofmagic with everything you said there. I get that Adam and Eddy didn’t want to write a love triangle here and they really haven’t considering Marian’s been in a icy coma for just about most of 4A and their intention was to show that Regina had changed (which she did) but I think that could have been accomplished other ways as well.
I also would have liked to see more development from Robin as a character. I think my biggest complaint, IMO, is that he’s never really made a decision in most of 4A. From my POV, most of what he’s done is react to stuff that’s happening to him. I think most of us are familiar with the Robin Hood legend but still, just a little character development from him would help round out his character. (Sean is great. I love watching him in conventions but I really feel so much more can be done with his character but the writing doesn’t allow it).
I also would have liked to have a little more about Marian/Robin backstory. The scene with Will was nice but again, it’s not enough. Most first loves on Once have a pretty solid background. We got a backstory with Neal and Emma, why can’t we have the same with Robin and Marian? To help fill in the gaps in that relationship before moving onto OQ?
