    Like many who were there to see the filming last night live, I was a bit shocked they didn’t have a closed set. That many spoilers leaking out. But then I really thought about it. Why keep it a secret? Ratings are down and giving people massive spoilers might get fans excited to see how it ends up on screen rather than a spoiler blackout. They have nothing to lose by having an open set. People will be talking and debating and ranting about the spoilers, hence keeping the show in their sight. Quietness could lead to forgetfulness and becoming ambivalent about watching the show. Which makes me think they also let the “Spoiler of Doom” out on purpose. Fandom was in a tizzy all last Winter. The problem with that was it fractured and broke the fandom forever.

    Yeah, I really think that’s the case too.

    Really, with all the spoilers I’m still not excited about this show. And I still think despite the spoiler that Bobby IS returning that his current incarnation will die. I have said before I think he could come back for flashbacks of Rumple. That would allow him reduced screen time to promote his new film, which is kind of a big deal in the UK, which I predict will be released in the fall. We know it’s 2015, just not what month. I will be shocked and gobsmacked if Rumple lives at the end of this season but not if he returns for a limited run next season. And all the SQ/CS crap in the finale doesn’t excite me, either. Bah. Sorry, but it’s the same old….season 2 Neal falls down a beanhole and “disappears” and tells Emma to live for Henry, season 3a Rumple sacrifices himself to deal with his dad and help the town, 3b Neal dies to save his father and for the “greater good”. Yada yada yada. It’s tiring and loses it’s wow factor.

    When I was telling my husband about all the set spoilers just a bit ago, I had this same thought and all those instances went through my head.
    “anddd what just came out of my mouth is basically what happens at least once every season.”
    Shame that ALL of Neal’s sacrifices are seen as “meh” but I am sure Emma’s will be worshiped for all eternity. Heck, not-sacrificing a ship gives people goosebumps….

    Yes RG! Own It!

    When I Read your post the otheray my mind was blown. We’ve talked about Emma dying as a savior for a while But seeing it written down and carefully projected and thought out was awesome. It causes a teeny bit of hope to rise in me about the real Emma coming back. It wouldnt fix everything in the show for me, but at least it’d make more sense as far as s1-s2 goes.

    thanks guys. I first heard the song just before Quier Minds and of course thought of his life. After Quiet Minds, every time i would hear it on the radio it would make me cry. Here are the full lyrics. I just wanna know why so many Switchfoot songs give me SF family or Nealfire feels??

    I’m trying to find where my place is
    I’m looking for my own oasis
    So close I can taste this
    The fear that love alone erases

    So I’m back to the basics
    I figure it’s time I face this
    Time to take my own advice

    Love alone is worth the fighT
    Love alone is worth the fight

    And I never thought it’d come to this
    But it seems like I’m finally feeling numb to this
    The funny thing about a name is
    You forget what the reason you were playing the game is

    And it’s all an illusion
    A 21st century institution
    So I’m headed down the open road unknown

    And we find what we’re made of
    Through the open door
    Is it fear you’re afraid of?
    What are you waiting for?

    Love alone is worth the fight
    Love alone is worth the fight

    We’re only here for a season
    I’m looking for the rhyme and reason
    Why you’re born, why you’re leaving
    What you fear and what you believe in

    Why you’re living and breathing
    Why you’re fighting it and getting it even
    Let’s go headed down the open road unknown

    And we find what we’re made of
    Through the open door
    Is it fear you’re afraid of?
    What are you waiting for?

    Love alone is worth the fight
    Love alone is worth the fight

    Here we are, here we go
    Where the road is our own
    Hear it calling you home
    Here we are, here we go

    THIS

    TRUTH. “You tore apart my family. As sure as if you ripped her heart out yourself.”

    I also loathe how his response to Baelfire realizing his mother abandoned him (She..abandoned me…?”) is.. “your father was a coward for not telling you.” Riiiight. HE WAS LIKE. 3. It’s MORE difficult to tell someone their mother died! It doesn’t make him a coward, it makes him trying to protect his child from thinking he was the reason she left.

    HALP! I wandered into the WoodenSwan tag, not because I ship it but because I just really loved seeing Emma and August interacting again, because even though he did horrible things, he eventually tried to make it right, and they have this complicated history that’s interwoven with Neal and I JUST HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT HOW THE THREE OF THEM SHOULD HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO HASH IT ALL OUT AND END UP FRIENDS, OK. So when I see things like this… X …and this… X …I kinda want to curl up in a ball and cry. *sigh*

    I KNOW. ME TOO. Tears welling up in my eyes. That’s the magic I miss. God Bless you, Eion Bailey.
