    So once again….Mills Women Suffer So Long As A Charming Woman Lives Happily Ever After….

    Lana Parrilla said just two weeks ago at a Con that she would like Regina take her family and visit Paris….at this point, I’d rather Regina take Henry, Zelena, and Baby Hood and just poof out of Storybrooke…..when Emma wants to see Henry, she can hop on a plane and get him for certain breaks or even summer…..but Regina and Zelena just need to be away from the “heroes” because no happiness can come to them as long as they’re around that self righteous family!

    Agreed. I think it’s telling when you hope the villain of the arc wins and the “heroes” lose.

    the fact is OUAT should have ended long time ago, or at least have only 13 epis season per year, that way i think the writing would not be so bad and the characters would be way more develop than they are now with seasons with 23 episodes, where most are fillers, and each episode is a retcon of something that the characters did on previous episode.

    I disagree. Basically what you are describing is what we’re getting now. Instead of getting one arc spread over 22 episodes and allowing the characters to breathe, we’re getting one arc compressed into 11 episodes and therefore everything is plot based. Snow was a moron in 3B because the arc required her to be an idiot so that Zelena could get close enough to take the baby because there wasn’t time for Zelena to worm her way into Snow’s trust circle. Snow had to immediately accept her otherwise the plot couldn’t happen in the timeframe given. Rumple had a complete character flip in 4A because the arc needed him to be a villain yet there wasn’t time to show his gradual slide back into villainy, it was a flick a switch deal.

    Oh. Unless it’s the Land Without Color and that’s where they meet Jekyll/Hyde?

    What if Regina (rightfully) blames Emma for Robin’s death? Snowing would kind of be seeing history repeating itself (old situation) but this time from the sidelines instead of in the line of fire (new place).

    Are the writers deliberately trying to piss off their remaining fans? They’re constantly screwing with the RumBellers, the SFers were thrown aside 2 seasons ago, they’ve now just tossed aside OQers, Snowing fans are virtually non-existant. Basically the only group that is happy right now are the CSers and it is at the expense of everyone else.

    Hook is so clearly a “creator’s pet”

    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CreatorsPet

    The Creator’s Pet is a combination of being:
    • Hated by fans (The Scrappy)
    • Loved (or worshipped) by the writers (Creator’s Favorite)
    • Put into big scenes for no reason (Character Focus)
    • Talked up by the other characters (Character Shilling)

    Unless it meets all of these criteria, it doesn’t fit.

    Well, the way I was imagining it was that RH gets murdered and then someone tries to pull that card, as in “Hey, RH died a few hours ago…but hades can we make a swap?” Like, I don’t think that would work. But idk, for a switch to happen it sseems like it would have to be intentional, and I doubt RH is going to give up his life willingly knowing hes got two kids. But eh, who knows.

    It looks like Zelena might kill Hades hence why there probably be won’t be a trade of any sort but “luckily” Zeus was kind enough to bring Hook back because of all the good deeds Hook has done in the underworld.

    I’m on the it was Zeus all along train. I could be wrong but when I watched the episode with the ambrosia tree and everyone was all “Hades tricked us” I just didn’t believe it.

    1. To get to the ambrosia tree, you had to have true love. Hades didn’t, his heart was frozen so there was no way he could pass the test to cut down the tree.

    2. What would Hades gain from it? Since Zelena is now on good terms with Regina, it would only put Hades out of favour with her to deliberately trap Regina and the others.

    3. Hades has talked about his brother in previous episodes. Whilst Hades was the villain, it made it sound like he was the bad guy and his brother the hero. But if you view it as Hades wasn’t such a bad guy but was cursed by his brother then you could see why he was a bit bitter about it.

    Plus Rumple’s line “dark and light all depends on your point of view” seems like it could hint at something. At the moment we’re viewing Hades as the villain as “dark” and that his brother is “light” but what if it’s the other way around.

    The “heroes” are very narrow minded and tunnel visioned so of course they would assume Hades is the villain.

    Nah.

    I agree. They won’t kill of Moe because in the grand scheme of things he’s meaningless. The show barely gives a crap about Belle outside of RumBelle (and even then the show seems determined to screw that ship over as much as possible). they’re not going to waste time on Belle’s father.

    I think it could be Robin’s funeral.

    Regina’s lack of emotion could be because she’s emotionally numb inside after Robin’s death. It came as such a shock that she can’t process what’s happened and she’s gearing up to go off the deep end.

    Emma’s tearful reaction could be because she’s feeling guilty. If she’d never dragged everyone to the underworld, Hades wouldn’t have got to Storybrooke and Robin wouldn’t be dead. Emma would feel that Robin’s death is her fault.

    well according to that article, is all magic, he thinks magic needs to be banished bc destroys everything. So is S2b henry2.0

    I hope that doesn’t happen. Season 2 Henry was such a pain in the backside and so irritating I was kind of hoping he’d blow his hand off with the dynamite because it was such a stupid thing to do and he would learn his lesson the hard way.

    Having a TLK between CS at that elevator moment doesn’t hurt the narrative; it would actually close one chapter and help the narrative move to the next logical point. But the writers didn’t do that. It’s…well, it’s strange enough to ruminate on no matter what you ship.

    I agree. It’s odd that the writers seem to be trying to push CS as true loves yet when they have the opportunity to prove it with a TLK, they don’t.
