"All your questions are pointless"
Can’t help but laugh over the fact that two days after we get a semi-CS script tease, we get an SQ one. It’s like it was planned…
I can’t believe it, but they said they don’t write ships and they don’t do fanservice.

Apparently she has a secret, probably something they just made up since they’ve never done that before, well except with Hook and his secret(s) every (half) season and that Snowing assassination in 4B.

Delayed reaction, but not the school. I just never want to seen Henry in those school outfits. Why are they still wearing uniforms? Why do the fairies still pretend to be nuns? I just think all of that is silly.
Well I mean, they have an entire implanted memory of a life here in SB that they have been living for years. I don’t think it’d be easy for them to just turn that off. Especially the peasants who really have nothing else better to do anyway. They still have a life. Finding out they lived another doesn’t do much
That might have been true for season 2, but now? After they had been sent back and lived there for a year?!

I’m sure it will only be Emma saying “you’re a hero now” a lot like a zombie, and then fans will complain about a promised arc that would never happen, and they’ll say “we didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, not our fault that media exaggerate…”

All I’m hearing is new characters coming and trying to steal the focus. This is going to be a mess.

Mmkay. I need to have a bit of a rant. So I spent most of today going through the S5 DVD for the podcast review and there’s one really great deleted scene between Regina and Emma. In it, Emma and Regina are talking about Daniel and Regina insists she’s moved on (with Robin) and Emma gives the really telltale line, “moving on and getting over someone aren’t the same things” which is more of less what a lot of people here have been saying for a really long time. It was a great moment that emphasized how much Emma loved Neal (she then told Regina about her Neal-vision in the 100th) and it was actually a pretty moving scene. Now, for the ranty bit. I know some will disagree with me about what is canon exactly but logistically, Adam has said for years (and even said yesterday—yes, YESTERDAY) that scenes included on the DVD are canon. That’s been the policy for awhile now. If it’s on the DVD, they consider it canon and they try to only include scenes on the DVD that they want considered canon. So tonight, imagine my shock and surprise when Adam tweets out that none of the scenes on the DVDs–not just S5 but ALL of them–are not canon because they’ve “reclassified” and decided this is what is best. So. The aforementioned scene? Not canon. That scene of Emma giving Henry the necklace? Not canon. That scene of Neal telling Henry about Neverland? Not canon. That scene of Neal teaching Henry to steer the ship? Not canon. Even their beloved Hook and Jello scene? Not canon. Even those little scenes that help explain the timeline and magical issues….? Not canon. It angers me not only as a ride-or-die Neal fan and Swanfire shipper but also as someone who loves TV/narrative. Like, how on god’s green earth am I supposed to trust ANYTHING these guys write or say when they change their mind at the drop of a hat, whatever the reason? How do they expect us to have a dialogue (and all media is a dialogue) if they don’t stick to certain statements, rules and are constantly backtracking for reasons that we aren’t privy whenever it’s convenient for them! Yeah, a lot of deleted scenes are cut because of time but a lot of them are also really endearing and sweet and are the much missed character moments! And even if they weren’t, can we pick a policy and STICK to it, please and thank you!? Ugh. That is all.
You know what? Why don’t we just decide for ourselves which deleted scenes are canon? You know, personal canon. Screw what Adam and Eddy say (which technically violates the definition of canon, but whatever). Also, here’s the one tiny problem with Slurpeez’ analysis: Slurpeez:
Us (the only people actually reading it): 
That’s what I have been doing. Seasons 1-3A are canon. Everything else is poorly written fanfic.

Anyway, if ever I suspected that Adam and Eddy might actually have artistic integrity — or a consistent vision for OUAT — I am now relieved to be disabused of this notion.More people should. I can’t understand how there are still fans who can’t see that OUAT has turned into an unimaginative directionless mess. A&E don’t care about story and characters, they care about ratings and money. That’s why we don’t get a story like we used to in seasons 1-3A, we get fan pandering such as ships and Disney, this is what the show is about 1 hour of Disney characters and ships that don’t make any sense.

I honestly don’t care if the deleted scenes are canon or not, what bothers is that they constantly change their decision to whether make them canon or not without giving them any serious thought.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Adam said they were canon in order to get more people buying the DVDs, then decided to change his mind because people told him how some of the scenes contradict what happened on the show. However, in my opinion, it doesn’t matter anymore because the show contradict itself and doesn’t make sense anymore with or without the deleted scenes.
In addition, I’ve never heard of a show where deleted scenes AND book tie ins are considered canon (with the exception of tv series continuing in the form of comics like Buffy- which is not the same thing).
