None of what you wrote is true. There is a reason the show stopped working after they killed Neal and it is because the integrity of their story was lost with his death. The point being that there are many things on this show that have happened that have completely destroyed their story like Emma dating Hook and Neal being killed. Neither thing did the show any favors ratings wise considering they have lost the majority of their audience since Season 1. Now they have no choice, but to remove Emma, so she will be removed. It really doesn’t matter how they do it at this point, so death is on the table.
You think the show will fail no matter what, and most likely it will because reboots are hard, and they have kept, through no choice of their own, the wrong characters. Emma, Snow, Charming, and Belle being off the show is the problem right now and it is unfixable. How they remove Emma will not be the problem, it will be whether or not the general audience can accept that she has been removed and connect to the new characters. That is the game here. It really is a new show. They need to let the old show go. It is gone.
[adrotate group="5"]Me: Let’s not turn this into a Hook vs Neal ship debate thread again, guys.
Also Me: See now, let me tell you what you aren’t going to do:
brought in Hook majority of audiences found him a more appealing choice for Emma then Neal
Debatable, especially considering the Hook/Emma big wedding episode wasn’t even enough to pull in a big crowd, on TOP of being a musical extravaganza, and that Hook centric episodes weren’t exactly known to be season highlights in terms of ratings. And the fact that Hook is generally considered one of the factors for the show’s decline. So…yeeaaaahhh. You like Hook. Let’s not paint the “majority” of the audience, because the majority of the audience started leaving awhile ago. Hook didn’t sit well with a LOT of the fandom, or better yet, focusing his character on nothing more than being a boy toy didn’t. I can understand you, and other CS fans being angry about these developments, because taking Emma away pretty much takes away, like, 90% of Hook’s reasons for being onscreen, but sheesh.
Find something to be happy about, eh. New story, new characters, new romances, new villains. Emma served her purpose, she saved SB, got married, and thus far I believe she isn’t actually going to die (but who knows) so her and Killy’s relationship is safe. You got what you wanted and still can’t be content.
It was a business choice in the end
For JMO, leaving is a business choice as well. Why do you keep acting like A&E are to blame for JMO leaving? She WANTED to depart from this show.
Why don’t you turn your distaste toward her and not A&E for doing the best with what they have.

Like all reboots it will fail and just like Dungey has made crystal clear she will not hesitate to cancel the show should the new characters not connect. Spoiler alert just like many reboots, this one will not work.
Don’t make me laugh please.
New story. Re-hash of S1 with minor changes. Even the cast is saying this stuff. Regina and Henry will have the Snow and Emma relationship. This is not a parallel, this is L-A-Z-I-N-E-S-S.
New character. Wal-Mart version of S1 characters, it also does not help that the cast is even saying as such.
New romance. Wal-Mart version of Snowing. If I want to watch a Snowing epic romance I can watch S1. I do not need to watch two actors that probably won’t even have a shred of the chemistry Snowing had. Also doesn’t help that Cinderella looks like she’s pushing 40.
New Villain – Wal-Mart Cora with no magic no thanks.
There is NOTHING new at all about S7. It’s a rip off of S1.
But you will still be tuned in Friday nights at 8pm EST. So…

Wrong I got plenty of other things to do on a Friday at 8pm. Watch 7×02 then peace out till series finale and hopefully they can bring back JMO for a cameo so we can reunite hook and Emma. I don’t give two craps about wal-mart version of characters from s1.
Absolutely nothing that they’ve said about S7 sounds interesting or original. It sounds like a rip off of S1.
I personally want the show cancelled and since I’m a member of the Neilson family I will not at all help this trash get another season by tuning in past episode 2.
They are trying to fix some of the problems. They are adding persons of color and an LGBT relationship. I just think it is too little too late. I mean they still can’t write character. It isn’t as if they have become better writers.
They should also not have kept Hook. He is easily the most divisive character on the show. He is the most disliked and he should have gone. They may have made a buisness decision when they let go of Neal, but it was a really bad one, and it is just as bad a decision to keep on Hook now. There are so many reasons that the reboot might fail.
I think the hardest things to overcome is that they kept Hook and that it seems like they are not spending the first few episodes really going into the new characters. I know when i watch a new show, it doesn’t get half a season to see whether or not i will watch it. If the are trying to regain some of the fans that left because of all of the bad writing, those who might check out the reboot, and they exist, then they need to get into the reboot and the new characters and not languish on trying to explain away the loss.

JMO doesn’t wish to return and agreed to an episode. A single episode. Of course, you don’t care about any of the other characters because you believe this show revolves around CS, which it does not. So hey, watch it or don’t. Like I said, you got what you wanted, an assured Happy Ending for Hook and Emma, and it still isn’t enough for you.
So…yeah. I for one am interested in seeing brand new iterations of classic characters, seeing what kind of man henry has grown to be, seeing these new cursed personalities, and whatever else is in store for this complete reboot of the series.
I have many issues with this series but I always find things that kept me invested and entertained enough to keep watching. I guess the only “hook” for you was the CS relationship, and with that out of the way you have nothing left to cling to. So I’m really done with this pointless back and forth over your negative feelings at the lack of a ship this season.
In the words of a great philosopher: “Bye, Felicia.”

Most of yall hate watch the show anyways so what’s your excuse for judging me for not watching past 7×02.

A lot of us stay with this show because we are invested in other things and other characters. We have reasons why we stay beyond whatever other criticisms we have. We can still enjoy the show.
If you only want to see Emma/Hook and are displeased with everything else I would say you must accept that Emma is leaving because JMO doesnt wish to be apart of the show anymore, after one episode and if there is nothing that interests you in this show outside of those two being together then you have no reason to sit and constantly complain all the time.
Im not judging you for only wishing to watch up to the second episode. You just need to cool your beans. Deal with it like all the rest of us have.
