Well, Emma and Neal actually have history and have things in common. Did Hook mention his ship during the vows? Talk about having nothing to say.
[adrotate group="5"]Seriously it made no sense for them to bring up Snow’s dress and then just have it turned black randomly so it’s out. Regina can like make clothes out of nothing with her hand. Even if they couldn’t fix that one for reasons then they could make an exact replica out of thin air. I am not sure if Emma would have looked right in that dress, but anything would have been better then the dress she ended up in.
What is with the whole it could be open ended, but there is a twist, but it is a “satisfying” ending. I don’t get how they think all of that can be true at once. Though they actually thought that the musical episode pulled the plot forward.
I thought the songs were terrible. They did not pull the plot forward at all. Emma’s song was the best, but even it barely made sense because it was just another deus ex machina on this show. Sure, it was funny to see them singing, but a lot of the times they barely sounded like themselves and the lyrics were just bad. The songs were terrible.
Did they show the Black Fairy do the curse? Who did she murder? I agree that the Black Fairy seems to have no motivation except she wants to kill Emma for some reason. She doesn’t really seem to care about Rumpel and definitely not Gideon. Who knows.
I just seems weird that after all this talk it is just Josh and Ginny who are going. They haven’t had a storyline since Season 3. To me, the loss of just them does not seem like a big shake up. It also doesn’t feel like an end of the story they have been writing for the last six years. That seems like the end of Emma. Who knows though, like always, the disclaimer is the writers are terrible and they don’t know what their own arcs are and they don’t know what happens on their own show and this is an external issue aka the actors want out effecting the show.
It is hard because the arc that was began in Season 1 is not the arc that exists now on Ouat, so they are not finishing what they started because they quit writing it three years ago. I think anyone could go and anyone could stay. I think Ginny and Josh seem really out. I think Jennifer wants off, but might have agreed to do one more. I think Robert wants off, but it’s a job and it’s money and his kids live here now. I think Lana is doing promotion a lot and that might mean something. Who knows.
Exactly. I guess I wanted an epic backstory spanning centuries of evil, an unexpected romance with Malcolm, a baby, more shady stuff from Blue, a final banishment from the enchanted realms… and what we got was a hand-wavy mess that didn’t match up to the character we’d seen from her and a suddenly turn to semi-loving mother that makes no sense based on everything we’d already seen of her being awful to Rumple. It’s very much like the bad plot last year of Emma being The Dark One and telling her family she’d make them pay and then when we finally learn the truth it was just that she was hiding the fact that Hook was a 2nd Dark One. So they built up one story and then they wave it away to tell another story that doesn’t add up to the behavior from the first. I guess all I’m really saying is that a story should make sense. We should’ve been clapping our hands and saying, ‘Yes! That’s why she’s evil!’ instead most of us felt confused and frankly a little disappointed.
Right, it was pretty disappointing that Blue pretty much did nothing interesting at all except send the Black Fairy away because she was trying to do the curse. It was disappointing that the Black Fairy wasn’t always a Fairy and that she wasn’t even that old. She was only a little bit older then Rumpel. I really just thought it would have made sense to incorporate why there was that big desert that was later turned into the Enchanted Forest with the cup. That the Blue and Black fairy were sisters and they fought over something and it created that wasteland and that the cup of life turned it into the Enchanted Forest. Even have those two men who were running from something in the sand be running from the fairies, maybe that they fairies had created human slaves that they weren’t able to control and so they then created the dwarfs to take over the mining of the fairy crystals. I would have made the Blue Fairy the evil and not the Black Fairy. Just have her be called evil, though that would have had to work with how she treated Rumpel and Gideon in the present day. I think that makes no sense with her wanting to protect Rumpel. It is just such a hot mess when it could have been interesting.
Instead of thinking long game, beginning of time, big world building stuff, they think small. The Black Fairy is just a human who randomly turned herself into a fairy. She isn’t some great power from the beginning of time. She created the dark one curse, so she has some power and knowledge of our characters world, but it just didn’t work. It wasn’t interesting and it could have been very easily interesting because there is so much they could have had Blue have her hands in.
They waited so long to introduce the fairies this arc that i started to realize that they weren’t going to go big just this season and it was pretty disappointing. Just like the dark one mythology was disjointed and disappointing and Emma’s story and her saviorhood and her behavior in the last few seasons has been illogical and inconsistent. It is like the big important backstory, on going plots that have just been really bad.
