December 9, 2015 at 9:16 pm in reply to: Popsugar 12/8 – Amy Manson Confirms That Merida Is Returning to Once Upon a Time #314084

ParticipantRemember that one time Sinqua Walls let slip that Lancelot would be coming back, and then we sat around for like, a couple of years wondering when Lancelot was gonna reappear. Let’s just say I ain’t holding my breath for seeing Merida again.
And I love a conspiracy theory. 😉 I think one of the people she RT, she also faved one of their tweets too. And don’t most apps ask you to confirm before a RT actually gets sent (the ones I’ve used do that), making it hard to do accidentally?
[adrotate group="5"]December 8, 2015 at 9:24 pm in reply to: TVLine 12/8 – Once Upon a Time to Bring Back Dorothy Gale as an Oz-some Warrior #314009Phee
ParticipantIf Dorothy’s some warrior trying to destroy Zelena once and for all, I’ll be cheering her on.
1. Dorothy is a derogatory nickname for a gay man.
I thought it was “Friend of Dorothy”, and it wasn’t derogatory, it was a term that the gay community will use to identify themselves in a positive, unifying light, because Judy Garland became such an icon for them?
They keep saying how they don’t want to treat an LGBTQ relationship like it’s a “very special storyline”, but having Dorothy of all people involved would kind of make the whole thing smack of cliche, would it not?

Participantwe’d rather just not deal with the question.
The OUAT writers’ room mantra.

ParticipantI AM SO READY FOR THIS!!

ParticipantI haven’t posted in this thread yet, but it’s basically because the rest of you are handling things totally fine and I’m just sitting here nodding and wanting to repeatedly yell “PREACH”.
Nothing about this makes any sense whatsoever. Not from a storytelling standpoint, not based on the supposed rules and everything relating to DOs, not in any way. Absolutely the worst twist they could’ve possibly pulled. The show just did a backflip over a dozen sharks.
Then landed in the water with the most spectacular bellyflop ever.
….. I dunno. A commenter on Lily Spark’s latest review mentioned that Rumple might get to see Neal via the underworld plot and when I thought about it more….. maybe this big horrible cursed journey could possibly mirror season 1’s big horrible cursed journey that Rumple was also indirectly steering towards finding and regaining his son.
I wouldn’t mind it if Rumple were going to the Underworld as a means to help give his son another shot at being alive, (but MRJ ain’t coming back to this show any time soon). That would be the ultimate redemptive moment for Rumple. But would he even need to be the DO again in order to accomplish that? His blood opened the portal to the Underworld when he wasn’t the DO, so all he had to do was go and bleed into the pond as his mortal self, then hop on the boat and hand himself over to Hades in exchange for his son. So this whole regression to the DO is still needless character assassination, even if that IS his ultimate goal.
Of course, the fact that Dylan’s been on set could lend some credence to this theory, but Bae being brought back to life instead of Neal is not a thing I want to see happen, so that storyline wouldn’t be OK with me.

ParticipantSo… someone help me out. They’re calling it Hell, but just kidding, it’s not Hell, but maybe later it might be Hell… when they feel like it?
Wish I could help you out, but the writers have created such a hot mess of contradictory nonsense that we’re all beyond help by now.
Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly flip anymore tables. They are really going to do it. They are going to write in EdR’s pregnancy and make *this* baby be reason that Rumple finally decides to redeem himself. Neal himself wasn’t enough. Neal’s death wasn’t enough. Belle wasn’t enough. Losing Belle wasn’t enough.Being banished wasn’t enough. Being Hat-Sucked and transformed wasn’t enough. But a brand new shiny baby…well HOT DOG!
The baby conceived when he was decieving the woman he allegedly loves. Such a twu wuv baby, is it any wonder it’d have magical, redemptive, soul healing abilites. Isn’t it just the sweetest, most heartfelt story ever.
*popping out to a furniture shop because I’ve run out of tables to flip around here*

ParticipantAmy Manson has since deleted those retweets. Either she retweeted them not realizing the slams at the show, or she got in trouble. Thing is, we don’t know for sure how Amy really feels.
Not realising what she was RTing? Come on, give her some credit, the messages were pretty straightforward! I’d just post the screencap but one of the tweets has an expletive, so here’s a link instead. Also These tweets are in her faves. I’ve seen some people saying she was unprofessional, but I just wanna hi-5 her for keeping it real. She must have gotten a slap on the wrist from somewhere to make her delete the RTs.

ParticipantFor what its worth, Amy Manson retweeted some not so nice fan tweets about the show tonight, so she may not be happy herself that her scenes for the episode were cut: https://twitter.com/AmyMansonLondon
Amy Manson is my new hero. I can just imagine how disappointing it must be to put all that time and effort into portraying a character, to then just have the showrunners disregard the conclusion of your character’s arc, like it doesn’t even matter. It’s disrespectful to the work she put in.
Phee
ParticipantI’m just gonna save time and point to everyone else’s rants and say YES ALL OF THAT!
OMG this show is just…I can’t.
Phee
ParticipantHook was prepared to accept his fate and die back in Camelot.
He was pretty mad that Emma hadn’t just let him die.
Now he’s said he wanted to do something heroic and gave up his life.
And Emma wants to go bring him back from the dead again, thus undoing his heroic, redemptive sacrifice.
I hope *twitch* when she gets there he tells her to bugger off and leave him be.
