Just watched the newest episode. I’m actually disappointed Barbara didn’t die. I’m waiting for it, waiting and she managed to survive. I guess, it’s only a Revenge thing. All my least favorite characters die on Revenge.
Looks like Oswald was right. There is a war coming.
I don’t think the show should box tick. I don’t think a whole or half arc should be based around “Hey audience, this character is gay/black/Asian/non-white/transgender!” It should be worked into a larger narrative. Mulan is bi/gay but that is not her main storyline.
That’s what I mean. But it also needs to make sense within the story as well.
I’m going to say this after everyone comes back from the EF AU.
The finale, I swear, it really is like an Oreo. Starts in Storybrooke, EF in the middle, return to Storybrooke in the last half. This is the same as the season three finale last year. Only difference is, it’s going to a flipped AU.
There’s one choice you don’t have on that poll. The Dark One, Rumple dies, but powerless Rumple lives.
We’re a fandom that complains. We’ve always been a fandom that complains. We will continue to be a fandom that complains.
Yup. You nailed it, RG.
But sometimes, our complaining is actually justified and not the whining of people who want things the way they want it for reasons. Leave the Latina Lily issue aside. It is becoming increasingly clear that OUAT has a very real problem with representation, be it race, gender (hint: it’s not binary), and sexual orientation. I don’t think OUAT’s problems stem from A and E actually being racist, anti-different genders, or homosexual.
This has been the thing that bothers me the most of what I’ve seen. None of us know Adam and Eddy personally. Therefore, it’s not all right to call them names or accuse them of being a certain way. That is not fair to them and in all likelihood, not even true at all of their personal lives.
A and E are following the way it’s been done for years. Years and years…It’s not just an A and E problem. It’s a media problem. It’s a world problem. And that’s why it matters.
Yes!
But, adding PoC, LGBT characters or whatever to the show, also has to make sense within the story as well (as a whole or half-arc).
And Adam posted this yesterday. Probably from the same scene too.
Always a treat to watch the #OnceUponATime orchestra score an episode! Hope to see ya Sunday! pic.twitter.com/ZtZ3Cgiv2n

Can we just take a moment to appreciate Colin’s face in the background here? He’s blurred a bit, but I’m 100% certain it’s the same face he made below at PaleyFest.
And he’s talking to Snow.
