But considering that more people want to chat than see who else is online, I changed the option for the online users to always be on the top.
Thanks, it looks much better now.
[adrotate group="5"]*points at slurpeez post* Yeah, that.
Is there hope for Rumbelle? Maybe, if he actually changes. But judging by the end of the ep, six weeks have passed and he hasn’t been inspired to do a whole lot of changing yet, as if Belle’s heartbreak at the town line hasn’t had a lasting impact, he’s still just gonna power ahead with getting his happy ending any which way he can.
I hope Belle keeps treating him like she did at the town line, unless and until he can actually make a change and prove himself worthy of her love.
I’m conflicted with the Queens of Darkness…my biggest question is, how and why is Ursula working at an Aquarium???
This question is so distracting to me. I’m dreading the convoluted reason they make up, if they even explain it at all, and all of that has me rather un-excited for the future storyline. They’ve taken her from being a freaking GODDESS, to being some type of witch who needs to team up with two other chicks in order to achieve anything, and then they bumped her all the way down to fish feeder in the Land Without Magic. I want to be excited for Ursula’s story…but I just can’t get into it because it’s already disappointing me.
Cruella seems quite random and without substance so far.
Three’s a crowd. I think Maleficent would’ve been a formidable villain enough without needing Ursula and Cruella.
Agreed that Maleficent would have been plenty. Problem is whatever’s left of her is inside SB and they wanted Rumple to be outside SB, so they needed at least one other character for him interact with, and once you’ve got two, may as well bump it up to an unholy trinity, and suddenly you’ve got 4B villain OVERKILL.
–Rumple and Belle at the town line. I realized something during this scene–this scene that actually made me feel something for OUAT more than what I’ve been feeling for 11 episodes now—I still watch for Bobby. I’ve been struggling with an answer as to why I still watch or why I’m still invested and it’s Bobby. I hate and loathe with every fiber of my being what they’ve done to Rumple…but by god , Bobby knows how to sell it. That scene was perfect. Going down on his leg when he crossed over, once again broken…it reminded me of how much I loved Rumple once. For three years I’ve been RG–I’ve been Rumple’s Girl and lately I haven’t felt like I was Rumple’s anything. But that scene…that scene was almost like my Rumple. My Rumple that I once fought for and defended. He was ugly and scared and selfish and stupid and I don’t know how he comes back from this…but it made me feel something. And brava to Emilie. She nailed it. She was really something in that scene.
THIS! Rumple had always been my fave, but this season I’ve been beyond DONE with him, but that moment when he went across the town line and his leg crumbled beneath him, I wanted to weep for him. Well played, Mr Carlyle. And finally getting to see Belle wise up and tell him where to go was glorious and Emilie was perfect.
Also, how did they figure out that pushing people over the line will prevent them from returning? They based this assumption on…what? It turned out to be correct, but how did they know? Another thing, how the heck did Belle get between Rumple and Emma in the clock tower? Is there another door? Or did she creep slowly up the stairs before Emma and Snow arrived and shouted out? Also how did Emma, Snow or Belle know to get to the clock tower? Anna did not tell the Charmings were Rumple was, and as far as we know the spell wasn’t visable from the outside, and even if it was there was not enough time between the spell hovering over their heads and Emma and Snow appearing from the elevator.???????
OMG all of those questions and probably a whole bunch more if I could be bothered making a list. It really takes me out of the show when there are glaring, annoying things like that that make me wonder, “WAIT…WUT?!”
If I look at the forum on my phone, the user list auto-hides and I have the “number online” in the top left corner and a link to “show all”, so now I know what other people were talking about with how they see it laid out. But on the computer, like I said in my previous post, “number online” is near the bottom right corner and there’s no link to hide the users.
Also apparently Will kisses Belle
The only context in which this is even remotely acceptable is if Belle says something insightfully bookish that gives Will a brainwave of how he can get back to Ana, and in his elation he gives her a thank you smooch on the cheek.
This seems to go against the previously established rules of “Once Upon a Time,” but O’Donoghue says the divergence does make sense in the show’s world.
“Helga [Ungurait], who is one of the producers on the show, sort of maps out what you can and what you can’t do when you lose your heart,” O’Donoghue explains to Zap2it over coffee in Vancouver, where “Once” films. “The way that we see it is Rumpel also wants to torture Hook, Rumpel wants Hook to feel for Emma. That’s the way we rationalized it, because in the past when other people have had their hearts stolen they’ve been told to do something and then they go do it.”Fanwanking is meant to be a thing that fans do to make up for and “rationalise” slip-ups the writers make. When it’s the people who actually make the show that are coming up with what sounds like fanwank, that’s disheartening, (no pun intended). If they honestly thought it out from the beginning that Rumple was rigging it so Hook would still feel for Emma as a means to punish him more, then bloody well write a line in the show to explain it. It would only take one line. This just smacks of them trying to “rationalise” it all after the fact because the writers did a thing whether it really made sense or not.
“When I step over that town line with my magic intact, Emma and Storybrooke have nothing to fear from me. As long as they don’t get in my way. But I can’t make that same promise for the rest of the world.”
Sounds to me like he has something planned for our world, it’s not just wanting a change of scenery from SB. Then again, he also talks about lying to Belle and Henry and making himself out to be a hero, and the hero facade will be kinda hard to keep up if he promptly starts trying to take over the world. So who knows.
There seems to be some inconsistency with how people see the new chat and the options it gives them.
Some people have an option to hide the user list. I gather the people who have that option see the “number online” in the top corner and have an option to hide the users.
Some others, like myself, have the “number online” at the BOTTOM of the list of users, and we have no option to hide the users, so we’re stuck with the column taking up about a quarter of the chat window.
I opened the chat in a new window and still had the same setup.
I also gather some people can click somewhere to read back through an archive, but others can’t. I can only scroll back a little way before I run out of previous chat that I can see.
I can’t with Cruella’s eyebrows.
It looks like there’s someone in the driver’s seat of Gold’s car, but looking at Larry’s tweets he seemed sure that Belle was the driver and that’s just a crew member sitting in the car, which I guess makes sense for safety reasons.
Hope that’s the real Dagger, would be far more interesting than still having Belle duped by the fake by this point in time.
