I’m emotionally drained guys. This show was (past tense is intentional for me) too campy for me to get me this worked up. On one hand I’m embarrassed because…it’s ouat. On the other, I mean, I watch other shows that are pretty dark (Walking Dead, Game of Thrones) so I know shock (Red Wedding) and happy endings don’t come in a perfect bow. But the difference is the writing during those moments were supported by great writing. This wasn’t great writing. This was a convoluted mess that was thrown at the last minute to appease the obvious. There was no substance behind this. No build up. No airtime. Disregard of Neal’s feelings on the use of dark magic. Like, what? Planned since the summer? Why didn’t they just allow Neal to find Emma in NYC and have them bond with their son and get a taste of their Tallahassee before pulling the rug if they planned on killing him. Senseless. All for a name? They went out and killed Baelfire. Baelfire. The one poor s.o.b. who was too selfless his entire life.
Agreed, why we’re so worked up is because it was just a needless death that furthered the miniscule plot. Not give any real significance to the character or story overall… at least with those other shows they had build up and it felt like it paid off more then this…
[adrotate group="5"]My goodness even Sean is more sensitive about the whole situation…
if I’m absolutely bored I’ll stick around for Robin, he’s the only decent character personality wise right now… Sean is a class act like MRJ.
Well I’m just going to leave it in my head that the show ended in 3×09 Save Henry. Rumple and Neal reconciled, they saved Henry. Omitted the horrendous Henry/Pan switch plot and Emma and Neal on the road to reconciliation after they found their family again…
THE END…
Agreed. Henry look so *pardon my expression* clueless while burying Neal. It just hurts even more. What I hope the show does soon is give Henry his memories back, and have him realize Neal as the father who cared for him. At least give him that.
I made the mistake of venturing into other forums. And everyone is discussing Neal. Some comments I’m not going to even…. *sigh*
Seeing those funeral pictures…. 🙁 Right now my heart still hurts. It’s beating but every beat it’s like I have chest pain. I can barely stomach food or prevent myself from crying every time I look at a Neal image. It the exact same way I felt when my grandparents died. I said I’m moving on but it’s going to take a while for me at least. Because it’s hard to let go and most upsetting for me is it’s hard see past A&E craptastic writing and all the missed opportunities we’ll never see.
The only condolence is that I’m just following fellow SFers and Neal fans, who understand Neal on Tumblr.
I’m writing a long post for myself right now, just to let my emotions out. Makes me a tad step closer to feeling better. Maybe I’ll post it on my blog I dunno
Also I feel like everything I watched from season 1-2 has been for nothing. Rumple spent hundreds of years trying to find his son, only to lose him again. I feel like everything that Rumple did to the characters to get him to that point was all for nothing as well. It feels empty and hallow with little meaning after Neal is gone. He was the motivation for season 1-2 and why the characters ended up the way they are. I feel like all that build up has been torn down.
Not sure if you want to add that RG
I really feel like punching Adam right now…
Neal fans get shafted and you post a pic of you giggling like a school child? UGH! What remaining respect I had for you Adam is gone. 🙁 i need a drink….
Eating didn’t help All I want is to talk to A and E. To tell them how I feel. I was abandoned by my father. I was abused by my first love. Their message to me? I don’t get happy endings
I know it won’t help much but…*hugs RG*
I think it’s time to step away for a bit. Take a breather. Just because OUAT wasn’t what we hoped doesn’t mean that there’s a lack of inspiration of hope and good in other places.
Wow. I knew I was holding on when I shouldn’t be, but … I guess TV Line put paid to that. Guys, this might sound silly, but anyone want to have a … wake of sorts … of our own? All log in at a certain point some evening this week and raise a toast? To Neal and how it should have been.
OK. How does 10 p.m. Eastern Wednesday (April 2) strike everyone? I’m picking this at relatively random to get the ball rolling. (Just need it to be after my kids go to bed.)
I’m cool with that, or any day for that matter. I’ll give my toast to Neal before bowing out from OUAT.
BOLD STORYTELLING MY *$%(*#
It was not, not when his character wasn’t even utilize to the fullest extent before kicking the bucket. The story was jarring to the fullest extent. The only BOLD thing I got from it was that they’ve shocked me even more with their sloppy cop out rushed writing, like they have with August, Ruby, Astra and countless other beloved characters.
Never got a centric of his own
Never explored his past in Neverland
Never got a transition from when he got out of Neverland to Land without Magic
Never got to actually SIT AND TALK WITH EMMA ON REAL MATTERS (This really steams me up)
Never got to be a true father to Henry for more then a week. Or actually saying meaningful things to him.
Never got to explore more of his emotions with his father in front of him
Never got to explore his life within the 10 years he left Emma
WOW I can keep going on and on…. I’m just going to stop so I don’t cause myself more pain…
Yeah I’m sticking by what I said, I’m really not tuning in on Sundays anymore. It’s GOT for me now… at least I can take character deaths from that show to be more plausible and better written….
5-000000 cookies says he just got a call from Adam : “I need you to say something so that people will stop badgering me”
Seriously no amount of saying he did not get fired will convince me. He essentially did get fired. His character was written off…
Yeah. I’m with you there. I might watch out of curiosity but my hope and passion for this show died last night and with his amazingly kind words today. I said it before and I’ll say it again…that man is a national treasure and they made a HUGE mistake getting rid of him. I’m glad he can say nice things about the cast/crew but this reeks of JMo leaving House again. She was just as gracious as he’s being right now but the entire story reeks of bad writing and total crap plotting. I can’t believe something like this has now happened with TWO of my favorite actors. 😥 *HUGS THE ENTIRE SF THREAD* 🙁
I have utmost respect for MRJ for being the diplomat his is. I will miss him but I just tweeted to him saying I wish him well in his future en-devours. His character will always be my favorite character on OUAT. He’s an all around amazing guy. They don’t know what they’ve done yet, but I suspect they will in the upcoming episodes.
