    The good guys now include someone whom the witch knows to be dead, and there’s no need for Zelena to guard against a dead enemy. This is too good an opportunity for the writers to pass up. I’m confident that this season’s big death wasn’t Neal, at least not in this episode.

    Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I’m glad the ‘death that shall not be mentioned’ happened now early on in the set of eps vs happening at the end of the season. We’ve dreaded seeing this happen since January, theorized and argued about it to death. It drove the fandom crazy and has split it apart. I loved Neal and didn’t want to see him or anyone else die. My stomach has been tied up in knots since the article came out in Jan (mainly because I was afraid it would be Hook). But I have to respect why and how A & E are telling their story, even though there may be parts I don’t agree with. I was planning to continue watching the show no matter what happened.

    Now that it’s over, hopefully we all can mourn, heal and move on and enjoy the rest of the season without having “the pending death” loom over all our heads. We all can relax a bit. We all can pull together and hope & support that Regina and the others can defeat Zelena.

    A & E have said that they want to work with MRJ in the future which means flashbacks. Hopefully the ton of unanswered questions about Neal’s past will get answered someday. MRJ has said that all the crazy rumors weren’t true. And maybe the fandom have learned a lesson from all this: to not believe everything you read, see, and hear when it comes to “spoilers” or rumors unless it comes directly from A & E. To not spin out of control and not spread so much hate around. But maybe that’s just wishful thinking on my part.

    You all should really read this meta. It’s very deep and thoughtful with regard to the symbolism.
