A herd of rogue bison, on the side of the highway, somewhere in NY State (I believe.) Photo courtesy roomie, who took it while I was driving… safety first, friends!! 😉

…especially when those girls are thieves themselves.
“I stole a stolen car?”

Neal’s a tiny baby, of COURSE he hasn’t murdered anyone RG! How silly.
(Unless you count him as an accomplice of his Dad’s murder by his Mom, since he was technically a party to it, but they did the Oreo twist and the guy is back alive because see dead is NOT dead, unless your name is Neal – well, the original Neal – so I guess it is all good…)
Yes, I am having a particularly bitter night tonight, why do you ask? 😛
I think we need more Puck to fix this.

I’d also like to know what the “bad things” Emma has done are – that remotely stack up to the garbage Hook has pulled.
And what about the bad things he’s done NOT to protect someone, like, I dunno, teaching a preteen how to cheat? Stepfather of the year right there, I tell ya…

Literally just threw back my head and laughed SO hard…
Those pictures win the Internet.

Yeah. At a minimum, it would have been nice for the girl to know she was actually dating the Wizard… better still for a conversation once he was human where he apologized and noted that he did at least enjoy the year they spent together (even if he didn’t actually want to marry her.)
So much screw-uppage…

Read the transcript and there’s actually quite a bit in there. Selling stuff so girl can have her dream… kinda wonder about dream/dreamcatcher/nightmare too. Perhaps most interesting is that Leroy gives MMB a speech about moments that is suspiciously similar to the Charming/Emma discussion at the end of 3A. Sigh.
Rainbow, talk about spot on. Discussion went to Once yesterday and Roomies were telling a friend a few things… I thought their criticisms were interesting. Other Roomie was talking about Walsh, how she thought it was weird that Emma dated a flying monkey – and then it was just dropped. I was surprised she even remembered it. They screwed up so badly on the back half of this season, in every possible way :/

A total random bit of frustrated randomness rant.
Read something-or-other yesterday, about Grumpy & Nova/Astrid. I was contemplating how pointless their episode was, and further, how odd it seemed to me that A&E pulled that S1 ep out to write, instead of something more pivotal or integral to the story.
Then it dawned on me, the general arch of that story… I have not rewatched, so going off recollection here. Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love despite odds. Star-crossed lovers, a bit. Boy and girl make plans for future, plan to meet and run off together, arrange meeting. Before meeting, boy is pulled aside and convinced to let girl go… so that she can fulfill her destiny.
Well whose story does that sound like?!
Wondering, now, if every S1 episode that seemed a little strange or pointless – that was a telling about minor characters – that wasn’t an advancement of the Snowing story – was a re telling off the SF story. We know Price of Gold was; True North, too. And Dreamy?! What else is buried all up in S1 that we missed? Yeah, that rewatch and breakdown/analysis has got to happen. I caught a lot on the rewatch we just did, but clearly not everything. (Guessing this has been discussed before but I am late to the party so…)
Of course, I am torn between awe at the care that went into laying out this story and building frustration at having it tossed away. Really – REALLY you put so much care into crafting a story that you pre-emptively tell MULTIPLE aspects a full season before you introduce one of the characters and then… and then… we end up with a pirate?!?!?! Sigh. Oh, guys, you threw away what has to be one of the most intricately planned out love stories ever told on TV. The amount of planning and foresight that went into this story is mind-boggling, and all for… nothing. Sigh.
Excuse me while I go kick a trash can in frustration. :/
