A reminder that personal insults do not fly here. I know sarcasm can be hard to read online but keep it civil even when you disagree with what someone has written

[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I don’t really get why Gideon is still trying to fight Emma since he has his heart back.
Unless that wasn’t actually Gideon’s heart that the BF gave to Rumple and it was a double-cross. Maybe Rumple knew and is playing along in order to triple cross the BF?
Or maybe that’s not really Gideon? Maybe it’s the BF.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Agreed. I would almost prefer an entirely new cast if they want to make everyone different characters. The “wish” versions just never felt like real people, and what this show really needs in my opinion is real people that we can relate to.
Right? I wouldn’t put this past A&E though — I am perfectly ready to believe that they’d come up with the notion that taking the derivative of the derivative of already derivative characters is a sure path to originality.’
Completely agree
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"They can’t guarantee that JMO will return for additional episodes.
Yes that’s the big problem with the pregnant!Emma theory.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Rebecca Mader won’t return for season 7
And it realllllly sounds like it wasn’t her choice. Interesting. The Wish Realm theory is starting to look more and more likely
So they may end up killing her off in the finale after all
I suspect she goes back to Oz with Robyn
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"What are the chances that you think they’re not gonna destroy CS?
Depends on what they’re doing with JMo for her one episode, I suppose.
where ship wars didn’t exist
Yeah starting to think that might be A and E’s whole point. They think if they get rid of shipping wars, people will like the show more.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Sure CaptainSwan is no more, but the Hook fan base is fairly extensive and Colin has a very big fanbase.
The CS and Hook fanbase are the same thing and many refuse to watch after Sunday.
And yet there was a petition going around asking ABC for a Hook centric prequel staring Colin. Now maybe that’s a small portion of that selected fanbase but the idea that they’re totally going to drop the show doesn’t quite scan because they obviously like the idea of Colin/Hook, Emma or no. Especially if Hook’s story has something to do with saving Emma. Reading through comments on SpoilerTV and Twitter, yes many are saying they are done, but many others are saying they’ll give it a go if A and E does right by the ship by having the story be about the ship (ie: Emma’s in trouble, missing, pregnant and under a sleeping curse).
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"what the heck is there to watch for? Nothing.
It depends on what people like, I suppose.
Sure, Emma’s not there but Regina is.
Sure Rumbelle is gone, but a lot of people love Rumple on his own.
Sure CaptainSwan is no more, but the Hook fan base is fairly extensive and Colin has a very big fanbase.
Sure, the Savior is gone, but Henry is having his own adventure and there’s (maybe) a new Savior.
@AKA made a pretty comprehensive list of why people might actually watch, the curiosity factor aside. I’m not saying the show is going to rocket back to the 4.0 it had in 1×01 but I don’t think people are going to write off the show in large swaths. Just look at the small sample here at OncePodcast forums–no one has said that they are, hands down, not going to watch, except perhaps you.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Reboots are never ever successful. See Scrubs, see Sleepy Hallow, see Glee, see The OC, they do not work.
But what does ABC consider “successful” though? As the article in the original post says, OUAT might not do well live but apparently they are bringing in bucks through other means, like Netflix. If ABC is lowering their “cancel” threshold then if the show stays steady-ish (say, doesn’t go below a .6) then nothing is certain. Network TV is just in such a bad place right now. I personally can’t see it getting a S8 either but ABC has different parameters for success.
