And I’m with you RG about next week’s episode. I just simply don’t care about it right now. I really don’t care what the WW has in store with the rest of Storybrooke.
And I really don’t want to see the Henry and Hook scene that is suppose to be in this upcoming episode. I think it will just piss me off completely.

"Because... it was born out of true love."astrawoidParticipantOh and can I add, just because I am upset over a character death, it doesn’t mean that my logical functioning reasoning brain doesn’t work and that I am no longer an open-minded person. I can still think and reason, thank you.

"Because... it was born out of true love."astrawoidParticipantYes, they are categorizing everyone’s stages of grief over Neal in chat. I wasn’t going to comment but it’s callous, as someone who recently as a year ago went through this in real life I know people don’t grieve like that. The stages are okay, but it’s not progressive. You don’t get to acceptance and move on
I’m so offended by that I can’t even function. My grief and pain are not for you to analyze. My dad died almost 7 yrs ago in July. There is none of time table acceptance crap. Don’t ever try to tell me that I’ll get over it.
It’s not something that you can get over. You just learn to live with it.

You don’t get to acceptance and move on. Really, the retconny flashbacks in 3×11 was a huge warning sign that canon and development is going out the window. This is really why I’m primarily a reader. Unless it’s an ongoing series, a book doesn’t change midway through on account of fandom. So glad that is true.
People grieve very differently. And a show can bring up all sorts of things in your real life. It’s part of why we watch shows. We want something that relates to us but that can bring us a new perspective or entertain us. Everyone has their own reasons. But to belittle someone’s feelings because they don’t feel the same as you or because you don’t understand, is cruel and insensitive. Neal’s death brings up so many feelings in me about how my own father’s death hit me. I’m not just going to get over it. I never got to say goodbye just like Henry didn’t. I know what this pain feels like. It’s all too real.
I used to read all the time too. Just got too busy (partly because I can’t put a book down once I start) and it’s hard to find time with kids running around. But maybe I just need to go back to books and find a way to make that work.

"Because... it was born out of true love."astrawoidParticipantHey all. Took me a while to catch up on all the posts.
Nobody deserves to die like Neal did. Just because you make a few mistakes in your life, it doesn’t mean you should die in the middle of the woods without even being able to say good-bye to your kid.
And of course you don’t deserve to die RG.
I don’t know what’s going on with this show anymore.
And what’s up with the callous, snarky remarks from people in chat today. If their favorite died in a character assassinating way, would they be there all, get over it it’s just a show and move on. I understand that some people didn’t like Neal or just didn’t care one way or another but to belittle our feelings and our thoughts because we cared for this character… I just can’t. And it’s not because Neal is dead. It’s HOW he died. If it was done well with a point, with a real reason, like to save his son or Emma and there really was no other way, I can accept that. But this. For a ******* name!!! Really!?! That’s the only possible way to do it?

"Because... it was born out of true love."astrawoidParticipantI don’t know. I don’t get it. Was it an ABC mandate, A&E had to write CS and this was just ripping off the bandaid? Soooo many questions and absolute silence from anyonwe who could give answers. I know I wouldn’t want my ship to win by default, but I’m hard pressed to put this on the fans. Even if the show’s course was changed due to the shipping wars, no fan dictated how this all went down. That’s all on the writers.
I agree. It’s not the fans who wrote this episode. The writing was just terrible overall. A lot of things felt disjointed and rushed and in some cases not true to the characters. I suppose that could be editing issues as well.

"Because... it was born out of true love."astrawoidParticipantI can’t sleep. I’m just a wreck. I tried to distract myself with other things but I just can’t seem to do it. I think this show is forever ruined for me. I really hated the writing in this episode.
What also aggravates me is that the good guys seem like such idiots in this episode. Pretty much all of them did ooc things or just seemed to suffer from “lack o’ brains” or even simple thinking through things.
I also hate that Rumple’s sacrifice was for nothing. Either Neal should have stayed dead after the fall through the portal or rumpled should have stayed dead after his amazing sacrifice.
I’m just heartbroken and I just don’t understand this show anymore. I don’t like the direction this show is going at all. I don’t have faith in the “heroes” anymore either.

"Because... it was born out of true love."astrawoidParticipantNeal’s death was too easy. Perhaps it is a ruse to let Zelena think Nealfire is dead. I think A & E have written in the story that Rumple, Neal maybe Belle and Hook have planned this, as a way to defeat Zelena. Neal is not dumb as Zelena said early in the episode. Remember when Neal fooled Pan with the arrow! That takes clever intelligence. Neal is under a sleeping spell and Emma’s TLK will awaken him as she awakened Henry. Also, it appears the SWAN necklace is enchanted. Oh, I cannot believe A & E has written Neal out of this lovely fantasy tale. There is more to this than we are allowed to know.
I want to believe this. I really truly hope it is true but I just don’t think I have it in me right now to believe it. I think I’m in mourning. I also changed my avatar like RG. Hope you don’t mind.

"Because... it was born out of true love."astrawoidParticipantI want to hear A&E to talk about this episode. I want their full story. I want to know what really went down. If MRJ really wanted to leave I’ll accept it and maybe continue to catch it now and again. I won’t accept this rushed story and have it be it for Neal. I’m in anger mode and I want answers!
AGREED. I want this to talk to me!! EXPLAIN THIS
I second!!! EXPLAIN… PLEASE!!!!

Hello
Goodby *crying* I’ve lost 2 grandfathers in the past year. This show was seriously an outlet for me. I don’t want to watch a fairytale with no happy ending. This isn’t what I bargained for when I first fell in love with Emma and Henry.Ugh, this is killing me. I lost my dad this past summer and have had a hard time with it. I didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye or anything. So this was my outlet as well. Something to help me and keep me positive and look forward to happy endings and sweet stories. In the real world, not everyone gets a happy ending but in the fairytales, good guys are suppose to get happy endings? But not Neal, apparently he wasn’t good enough. He didn’t sacrifice enough.
