    No, they just double dipped. They are using the WL actress because hardly anyone watched WL and most of us wouldn’t remember the daughter who was only seen for a few brief seconds. It’s not trying to say that Alice’s daughter = Cruella

    Wouldn’t be surprised if the casting department completely forgot she had already played Alice’s daughter, too. Do we even know if the same casting department even handled Wonderland? It technically was its own show.

    In regards to how Belle would later recognize Robin, despite being in disguise:

    @storybrookecity @micablackers exactly!

    To be fair, Robin and Belle meeting again in between those two events isn’t necessarily unlikely, but this was probably an answer Adam made on the spot.

    Because Zelena killed people, the trio killed statistics. The audience cared about Neal and Marian, they don’t care about Peasant #365

    No, Regina killed Graham and Leopold (Snow’s father). Both are fairly note worthy characters. Should also note that Rumple killed Milah and Tamara, as terrible as they were. And why should we whitewash the deaths of those so called nameless characters? Killing is killing, and oh boy did Rumple and Regina kill loads of people.

    Why are they filming on a purple screen?

    Probably because of the green tree branches and grass, which would make the use of a green screen problematic. It’s odd that they are filming in a fake forest instead of the real forest they always use.

    racism isn’t an opinion just so we’re clear on that much. it’s only an opinion if you’re not affected by it. it’s not “politics”. it’s something that directly affects people’s lives in an unambiguous way. so i’d like if we can at least agree on the fact that racism in the media and OUAT’s representation of minorities is an issue.

    i need to clear this if this is going to be a space that PoC feel they can take part in.

    That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that various opinions have been stated in this thread and in other threads. My point still stands to be respectful of that. Politics do not just relate to government issues. The base definition of the word is “of, for, or relating to citizens.” Race issues fit under that. And yes OUAT’s representation of minorities is a clear issue.

    It was rude, as is the mutual backrub in the two posts above. It’s frustrating to take part in an argument where two people are eagerly shaking hands over how not-racist they are.

    if you want to have a mature discussion with me, please don’t do it. I have very little patience with these arguments after having dealt with them for years and being silenced and dogpiled.

    [MOD NOTE] I’m going to have to politely ask you and everyone else to drop it with the personal accusations. If this discussion can’t be handled with respect, then I will close it. Please take into careful consideration that we all have our own vital opinions, and shouldn’t be talked down to. This is a very political based discussion, so it’s not unbelievable that folks won’t necessarily share the same opinion. [MOD NOTE]

    But okay, if it’s not a match, Rumple’s body might reject Belle’s heart anyway. I think we sort of saw the same thing happen with zombie Daniel. The heart that was he was given that resurrected him was hurting him physically. He was in so much pain that Regina had no choice but to turn him into dust, to end his suffering.

    No, Regina isn’t taking Belle’s heart to replace Rumple’s heart. She’s taking Belle’s heart to blackmail Rumple to counter his own blackmail.

    There’s also Robert. Scottish is very, very, very Not English, neither of which are ethnically or culturally homogeneous.

    Scottish still falls under Caucasian (White).

    One thing that would make this plot point more tolerable is if it turns out that Regina didn’t technically steal Belle’s heart, but convinced her to let her borrow it to get one over Rumple.
