"I offended you with my opinion? Ha, you should hear the ones I keep to myself".
Mikey is s smart guy. He’ll stay the heck away from ONCE forever. Also, let’s face it: A and E aren’t actually interested in Nealfire enough to want to write for him. “He’ll live on in our hearts and flashbacks…” my butt.
The idea of Sean and Kevin fighting over Mikey gives me naughty thoughts.
Not sure if MRJ will ever come back to OUAT, I don’t think he was treated with a great deal of respect by the ABC or the fandom… He will stay out, im sure that he is happy now, and probably already looking for things to do after the new project, also i think he is a bit hurt by what the writers and Jen and lets see who else in the following conventions are saying about Neal,and he cannot even defend his character( he always said that what he loved on Neal was his good heart, and now they are making him a villain). Not even talking about the network and how he was treated. Also now of they wanted him to comeback would be to make him look bad in relation to hook. If be can comeback, maybe in a hook centric, probably in NVL to show him like worried about Bae, and like his deal with Pan was to keep Bae save abd in the presend we would see( i mean who sees, bc i wont be seing) him bonding with Henry.

Here is something i found. Is 1 interview that mRJ gave when people used to ask him about going back to True Blood. the Same words can also be apply now, especially bc if in True Blood was story, in ouat im sure although we never know the truth, he must have left hurt and swearing nver put a feet there, that is why they used him on credits until the end, like this he had to comeback bc of contract, couldnt refuse.

When people complained about Season 1, saying they didn’t watch it really or didn’t get invested in it until Season2 or without Hook it didn’t really do much for them, I never said they aren’t “true fans” or that they were “haters”-or should stop watching-in fact
THIS. I’ve seen people say that Hook brought something fresh and new to the table and ONCE wasn’t really great until he arrived. Ok, that’s your opinion and that’s fine (however, as the keeper of the ratings thread, I can assure you that is utter malarkey–the show was actually much more popular and well received without either one of Emma’s suitors..though, let’s be frank: Neal was there. Just younger and lost) But nevertheless, you’re entitled to think that Hook brought the IT factor to ONCE. Just like I am entitled to think that without Neal, ONCE has lost a lot of its spirit. Doesn’t make me a hater. Also, the notion that I’ll get excited again when I start seeing spoilers coming in. Horse poo. Nothing is going to change how I feel about the direction of this show. But I keep it here and I’m polite in other threads. I am allowed to be disillusioned and angry.
I like the villains, the redemption but it feels all being written at the expense of portraying the “good” characters as less good or admirable, a kind of grey-washing of everyone.
Yes. The good guys either become tainted OR they become dull/stupid. Look at what they’ve done to Snow this past season. Good LORD. Would you ever have guessed that she used to be Bandit Snow??
Yeah and charming was written like David S1 without memories, in fact all characters were written is a very diferent way they used to be, OOC, good was bad and bad was good, people with strong moral values, were not forgiven, while people that had years of villainy were forgiven, the savior didnt save anything, bc the big story of this season for her was crying about who she was abandoned and that she was hurt and everyone was against her, bla, bla, bla.

I keep seeing a similar refrain to people who criticize OUAT.
It goes along the lines of, “Well, if you don’t like it, DON’T WATCH IT!”And granted, I’m not watching the show regularly anymore. But that doesn’t exactly erase the issues us fans are having with it. The problem with this mentality is it assumes that we’re just complainers who can’t enjoy a good thing when it comes along.
I find this very generalizing. The reason so many of us are complaining about the show and are upset with the direction isn’t because we hate it, it’s because we love it. It’s because we fell in love with these characters, we got invested in their storylines, we made Storybrooke and the Enchanted Forest our escape from the confines of reality. I could go on and on about the importance of fantasy literature (and television/film) to the popular culture, but I’ll spare you that.
Many of us want to be excited about the show. We want to be eager fans, to trust the writers enough to handle the complex storylines they’re throwing at us. The majority of us did that through season 2 and 3. But we got very little follow-through for that. There is a lot in season 2 & 3 that was mishandled, a complete botch up from a writing perspective. Characterization was rushed in favor of a ship. Characters were killed off for no other reason than to “get them out of the way”—this doesn’t just apply to Neal, it applies to Cora as well too. We hop-skipped from one plot to a completely different plot, because the writers were so excited to do Peter Pan, they sloppily left other loose ends hanging.
As for me, I’ve been kicking myself about what’s happened to OUAT because I should’ve really seen this coming—I’m familiar with A&E’s work on Lost. The same thing happened with Lost—a complex storyline, engaging characters, twisted plots, a great setup—no follow-through. A&E have big ideas, but have absolutely no idea how to work through them or resolve them satisfactorily. They get distracted by something shiny and move on to different things.
Basically, my point is, it’s fine if you’ve enjoyed OUAT thus far and just enjoy sort of mindlessly watching without thinking about it. But please don’t think that we’re criticizing the show because we didn’t get a ship we wanted or we’re just being petty—for some of us, this our frustration is born out of a love for a fantasy world that is no longer an escape.
