I just want more brain tingling adventure, affectionate sass, vivid passion and fantasy frolic for Hook and Emma. Separately but also as a kick butt team. No dulled domesticity please (grin). Larger than life and full of things that avoid soap opera stupor.
and give him a ship to Captain.

The people who ask things like many of those questions are not fans. They are agitators. They are attention junkies. Their goal is not to prove a point or even represent a lifestyle.
They are the way they are because there is a lack of grace in their personality.
ONCE is Adam’s and Eddie’s story to tell how they want to tell it.
Tell them you don’t agree with it, sure. Ask for truly constructive changes. Write the fan fic and create a whole supportive and loyal following for it on the side. Use the Internet in positive ways to support and comfort and rejoice. Wonderful. Or turn off the show, support something else. But bullying and threatening and being general crapa**es about it just proves they are graceless, and not a small bit immature.

Neal, as defined by the actual writers and not as seen by the delusion eyes of the impossible to please, Saint Neal SF fans, was a luke warm mess. No character on the show escapes the *mess* syndrome. But Neal was more of a mess than most. Poorly blended with the personality of the dark, deeply emotional, brooding Bae, he was this rather dullard surfer dude. WFH did that have to do with BAE? He was inoffensively likeable and sometimes fun enough, but I never saw Bae in him at all. Almost all his lines, even the important ones, were delivered as if *duh* would be the last word. And his connections to Emma outside her teenaged self, were often shallow.
Nobody on the creative staff seemed to have any idea of what to think or do with Neal, including MRJ.
MRJ definitely had a certain easy charm, but it just never fit with the other storied personalities. He was not cut from the same stylistic stripe as the other actors, either. He quite often didn’t wear the words of the scripts comfortably. I, too, imagine he wanted out of such a mismatch and be free to go on to other things more in tune with his style. I am also sure he got along famously with the other actors in real life and was sad to leave that camaraderie.
And you are right Jenna_B, the crappable behavior of certain Neal fanatics about the naming of the baby proved that they were not interested in Neal’s actual honoring, they just wanted to be outraged. It didn’t matter what the writers did or said after his character died. Only the outrage was important. I still don’t feel his more vocal fans even give a genuine hoot about Emma in the equation. Or even Henry. Those two are just used as good excuses for the personal *happy ending* projection of many.
Flashbacks with Bae would be intriguing, especially if Henry gets a chance to plummet back to EF. Highly unlikely. though, as both the actors are maturing too fast.
I’m hoping all the main characters get their earned due with the massive Elsa attention. A&E are entertaining, chaotic, ADHD jugglers, if nothing else!

Exactly PoM! Perfect solution.
I’m hoping they come up with a nickname FAST, because truly, that was a bad choice. The slow speed with which this series moves, he will remain a very small child even if they stay on air a few more seasons.
And really, (beating a dead horse, blah blah blah, )…Neal as a Saint is just not a very embraceable theory. Saddling a fresh young infant with a name that is not all that heroic and has a mack truck full of baggage when there were so many other acceptable choices, was a lazy decision. *Baby* Neal should have his own unique identity.
LOVELY visuals surraya!!! 🙂
Thank-you from my eye candy soul.

The Killivad Davian Charmate Princehook CharmKill (ha) bromance
thrives!!!
PoM ~ that is the sultry vest that he wears under the 50 lb jacket!
How Hook carts around that leather load and can still run/jump/walk fast is a testament to the strength of some potent thigh muscles under those 20 lb leather pants (grin) Or maybe I just wanted to use “Hook” and “potent thigh muscles” in the same sentence!

RGF 🙂 🙂 Go with it, Gal!!!
Shall we design a special umbrella and Fan T-Shirts for you yet?
I like Lola’s *Professional Schlepper* concept.

I actually agree all around with A&E on this STATED theory. What shows up may be different but…
Staying true to the seriously beloved characters as introduced is smart. Though this whole thing is a calculated risk, they are juggling some potential mind field explosions if they aren’t extremely careful. Elsa most definitely should NOT have a romantic love interest. She is just learning to love herself and hopefully her stint in Storybrooke will help her come to better grips with that once we find out who put her in that urn and reconnect her with her beloved sister.
Good, no talking snowman. Thank-you. Some things should stay permanently in animation!
I am holding out for the Snow Queen as her original “Curser” that would give some ummmppph to all the others banding together to help Elsa and could also set up the premise for their own spin-off down the road. Of course they could morph her mother into the Snow Queen somehow. Little Roland could get the attention of the Snow Queen and THAT would certainly put an interesting twist on getting all the others~ good, newly triangled and almost evil to band against her. (ala Pan style adventure)
Most of dramatic television (that isn’t a warped “reality” mess of humanity~ which should fall under the label of nauseous farce) is *expensive fan fiction* and when the fans of a concept are very productive and creative writers, we all can win. Most script writers start out as huge fans of a genre, a character or a story that they want to re-tell.

While some shows thrive on calculated controversy, some shows just want to tell a story. ONCE has a story to tell, but is plagued by controversy because others want them to tell a different story. These vocal, know-it-all nothings demand it even, when in fact it is none of their creative risk, professional reputation or business on the line.
While some viewers/posters think their view is the ONE and ONLY STORY that MUST be told while they vilify, whine, insult, threaten and live in bellicose denial about the people who are actually putting the efforts and talent and risk into bringing it to the small screen… they are not fans. They are NOT fans, no matter how they present their cases. Not fans.
Their choice. Let them choke in their own negative juices.

As Christopher Walken is ALWAYS superb entertainment, I won’t miss this one 🙂
