I think that unless they kill Jekyll and Hyde really quickly, which i hope they do, then episode 7 should be when Jekyll and Hyde die from being split, not when the entire split arc ends. The Regina split arc can only end before that if Jekyll and Hyde have already been gotten rid of earlier, in my opinion. I just want the plot to feel more open and not be so obvious. I am sick of how obvious a lot of things are.
It is like the second side of the coin. Certain things are so random as to not make sense within the context of the how and within the context of what certain characters would do. Other things are so obvious, that it drags the whole show down while you just wait for it to happen.
[adrotate group="5"]Do we know for sure if they are going to not still air the episodes as a split season? Are they going to air in January? Also, they always air episodes til like the second Sunday of December and i doubt that is going to change. They didn’t skip for Thanksgiving every time either. We will see.
About the two hour finales, since they never have anything to do with the arc, i would rather they just stop.
Gross. I don’t think it is going to have anything to do with a baby. Belle is already pregnant. I do think it seems possible that Hook knew Charming’s parents. I am still going with the he may have killed Charming’s dad.
Maybe it is like having someone that knows you. I’ve been googling. I found like a modern translation of Shakespeare’s Julius Ceasar where Brutus and Cassius are talking with a mirror metaphor. I’ll be your mirror is one of the lines. It could just as easily be the song quote and be a Regina episode. Though isn’t heartless a Regina episode? I don’t know.
The problem is that they split the season and then there was more filler, not less. That was the problem. They just filled the episodes full of stuff that had nothing to do with anything except characters who were always going to either die by the end of the half or just disappear to never be seen again. They wouldn’t use those characters to develop the regular characters. The regulars are the show.
Though i also really hate things about being in Storybrooke like Snow is still a teacher because just why or that Charming is the or a sheriff instead of Emma’s deputy. It is also nonsensical that Regina cares about being the mayor or that that even matters when she vanishes or goes evil now and again and no one does those things. Then you have things like the merry men living in the forest or the fact that their are houses for sale or how they can even be bought. The problem is that the show really should have worked through all the how does the town still function in much earlier seasons and they never did, so there are so many just logical, world building questions that you just can’t think about because it just doesn’t make sense.
PS. What is going on with the posting? It seems like it takes hours for a post to appear? Is this a moderator problem or a server problem or just something that is happening to me?
The biggest factor to consider is how getting rid of the Split-Seasons will effect this Season. A big criticism with the Split-Seasons was that the pacing was rapid-fire to cram everything into 11-12 episodes. That didn’t allow enough room to breath, and potential plot and character developments were neglected. Maybe there won’t be as many plotholes, and even more quiet character moments that we miss from the earlier Seasons. It should be noted that while Season 1 is still commonly heralded as the best Season by the majority of fans, Season 2’s reception was a lot more divided. There were fans who thought Season 2 was almost or just as good as Season 1, while there were a ton who thought that Season 2 was a huge disappointment. Nonetheless, that was where the show faced its first notable decline in popularity and viewership, and the trend continued with each following Season. Season 4A was the exception thanks to the Frozen hype. Only time will tell how Season 6 fares.
I have never understood this. For me, the split season has done the opposite. The show drags and drags and drags and is boring for it. The split season has immediately created this problem each season. You know exactly what is going to happen, maybe not how, but you know the end. Henry will be saved and Pan will be gotten rid of, the wicked witch will be defeated, the Snow Queen will be defeated and the sisters reunited, the author gotten rid of and the queen’s of darkness taken care of, to rid Emma of the dark one curse, to save everyone from the Underworld and defeat Hades. There are these very obvious plot points that you know are going to happen.
There is no doubt that the villain of the half will be defeated and will hang around til they are defeated near the end of the half. That makes the entire arc, in my opinion, slow and boring because you are just waiting for an inevitable defeat and so i don’t care about anything that happens to the character or their sad backstory because they are a dead man walking. A dead man walking who isn’t going to ever kill anyone of consequence. It just doesn’t work. That is why i think they need to get rid of Hyde almost immediately. I would do it in the first episode, which i know they aren’t, or by episode 3, but i could see episode 7 if they wanted to wait. He needs to go because it is obvious that he will eventually be defeated, so i don’t care one bit about him or his character development. It is just a waste of space and is not something they should waste screen time on.
Though still there are the things we know. Hyde will be defeated and Regina will get her evil back. At least the one thing has to do with a main character. Hyde doesn’t have anything to do with anything, but foreshadow what may happen to Regina. So he just needs to go and quickly.
That is a very good point. I have loved things about them being in Storybrooke, but it isn’t the thing that makes the show good. Especially now that it hasn’t felt peopled, in my opinion, for a very long time. Hopefully that will change since a new group of people have come to town. They still need to do a better job showing reoccurring background characters, like they did in Season 1. Granny, Ruby, Graham, the dwarfs, the doctor. Those reoccurring characters make the place feel peopled.
Also, the problem is and always has been that the characters don’t react properly to what is happening to them. They don’t act like real people. The problem is the characters are not developed properly and their actions don’t further the story. The problem is the writing, so that is what they need to fix. Them being in Storybrooke, won’t make the action and reaction between the characters choices feel real and earned and make sense. That just has to be written better and deeper and realer and i am not sure the writers will ever be able to do that.
