Anyone ever read “The Tale of Two Cities”. That book is fantastic, but there are various plot lines that seem to have nothing to do with each other at first. But in the end intersect and make a fascinating story. Like KFC said, it appears to “meander” but it really doesn’t. There was a rhyme and reason. However, as she also stated, Once’s “meandering” is just bad story telling. They might have once had an overarching story to tell, but they let popularity, fandom and ratings get in the way of their vision. So while a lot of the GA probably feel all these loose ends will come together eventually, we realize they never will because there is no path, no way.
Maybe I’m just bitter. We have watched a lot of television in the past year that has no ending, no conclusion to anything. Limited run series that just end in confusion. What happened to closure? Why can’t questions actually be answered? I’m all for leaving some things ambiguous, but don’t lead me on an epic journey for naught. I don’t like this trend. I have the feeling if it were up to a studio or publisher today that Harry Potter would end in us never knowing if Voldemort was defeated or it would turn Harry into a villain. I just want to get back to good storytelling that makes me think it was time well spent.

JosephineParticipantOh! Oh! Oh!
Someone bring back the Nealfire pick with the #BOOM and flames in back. We can photoshop it for him to have green sparkly skin like dear Papa.
(Getting into this way too much)
We hang out at a “ranch” and talk about bison and watch really crappy TV together. You’re just now figuring that we’re not quite on the level? :-*
:O We are lovely people who are intelligent, creative and interesting. 😛 (But we do have crappy taste in TV we watch together.)

JosephineParticipantI feel horrible that I think Macy’s and Ranisha’s idea of Evil Villain Neal is terrific. Really. If we’re going to crash and burn you might as well do it in style. All out. Don’t half-….do this thing. Go full out, non-stop, Dark One Baelfire.
Ohh, not only Dark One Bae, but bring back the Blue Fairy and find out it was all her purpose in the beginning. That Bae was destined to be the ultimate DO. I’m not giving up my BF is the Puppetmaster theory, but Evil Neal will fit in nicely, too.
Please, don’t hit me.

JosephineParticipant*looking at Phee’s pics* I wish we all lived closer so we could just all have a crafting night full of glue, yarn, sparkles and fun. I’ve been knitting, just not completing anything other than dishcloths for my sister. Maybe I shouldn’t have four projects going at one time. But I have been sewing. In the past few days I’ve made two things.
1) Mug caddy. You can fill it up with pens, markers, makeup stuff, crafting supplies. Whatever you want. Pockets are on inside an outside.
2) Japanese Knot Bag. It’s going to be used for carrying my small knitting projects around to work or the laundromat so they don’t get filthy or roll around.

JosephineParticipantGlad to be a source of humor for you, Rainbow. *blows kisses*
Aww, look at Thor and his Hello Kitty (who isn’t a kitty) makeover. Very sparkly, but the hair bows bring it all together.

JosephineParticipantI’m exhausted and my feet ache from shopping. I didn’t buy much but got the cutest butterfly fabric for my Japanese Knot Bag. Although, I think every nut along the east coast was out today on the highway. It was a madhouse, insane drivers and a lot of out of state traffic. Glad to be home.
And I think I have an ingrown toenail. My big toe hurts in the corner. Just thought you’d like to know because my whole post is so on topic about Swanfire ;). Ooh, connection….I saw a dreamcatcher kit at Michaels. There. 😉

JosephineParticipantRG, we really pick the winners to watch. I fear we’re going to get another ambiguous ending with no closure. *sigh*

September 10, 2014 at 1:09 pm in reply to: So, chances of queer romance in S4, and with who? #281951JosephineParticipantI doubt they’d ever do anything with Merida. A Brave sequel is rumored to be in the pipeline (not immediately but in the future) and since she’s a Disney creation, they’ll want to keep a close watch her on portrayal for the future.
I still think they missed the boat big time with Eric. The original tale of “The Little Mermaid” is one of unrequited love. She never got her lover. If they were really going for bold *rolls eyes* storytelling, having Ariel not getting her happy ending with Eric because he’s in a same-sex relationship would have been an interesting and organic way of introducing the topic into the show. But, alas, like #TeamBrothers , it shall never come to pass.

JosephineParticipantMost interesting. I have no idea how TV contracts work, but that could very well be the case. Having said that, I think MRJ really is the victor here–he gets paid to take on fairly cool roles now with a guarantee of job security for a number of years, which a lot of actors don’t get.
Wouldn’t it be poetic justice if, hypothetically speaking because this is all conjecture, that MRJ’s contract was tied to Disney and he is promised to future projects as a result of this hubbub, and by some chance Once is cancelled in the meantime and other actors *looks around* are no longer tied to Disney and/or ABC. He really would come out the victor in that case, too.
