    But we had some tall relatives, apparently. “Grandpa Joe” must have been 6-foot-5!

    LOL! She’s got a point. Both she and Bobby are teeny tiny.

    If they change Henry’s parentage in the AU, I’ll lose what is left of my mind when it comes to this show. Like, I know it will be undone but…still. Just don’t.

    If that’s the case I think that either this season or potentially next season will be the last.

    Next season. ABC has bigger worries. It’s already cancelled Conviction and Notorious. I suspect Secrets and Lies and Quantico are next on the chopping block. Since they can’t cancel everything, OUAT will get a S7 in order to be the “sure thing” on Sundays.

    Well, when Bae used the bean, he actually went to the Victorian era land, he didn’t go to the land without magic, though that is never really explained. It is only later that Bae comes to the real world, but we never see when he comes to the real world and how exactly it happens. It is just talked about with the coconut and the shadow.

    Quote

    No, that WAS the Lw/oM. Be specifically asked then bean to take him here, and A/E confirmed this, when they were promoting Wonderland. I know. It doesn’t make sense. But you know what? Your questions are pointless.

    Quote

    Yup. Jiminy is right. The London where the Darlings lived is REAL London, not Victorian London. No it doesn’t make sense. Yes, your questions are pointless. I believe when point blanked asked to explain this, Adam literally tweeted: #Magic!

    This doesn’t accord with her ideology, for sure, but in practice, the more Belle is being portrayed as an irrational, hysterical shrew — as she is in this season — the more her more positive qualities (seeing the best in people and forgiving them) recede to the background or just come across as whimsy, rather than actual moral commitment

    Her positive qualities, possibly only quality, is that she’s smart and that only occurs when the writers need someone to explain “the thing” and they can’t get a supporting actor to do it. She’s Google. The issue is also that that singular positive quality is becoming increasingly hit or miss. One of the biggest issues is that Belle has never really been a consistently written or fleshed out character. She’s a device through which the writers explore Rumple and his redemption, or lack thereof. I think this is why while everyone agrees that Rumple is basically a crappy person, everyone gets on edge about Belle and her “abusive” nature (or call it what you want). It’s because she’s never really felt like a solid character.

    @Slurpeez I don’t necessarily disagree with most of what you’re saying. Belle has given him a lot of chances and historically Rumple keeps making poor choices. I also think you’re right that abuse is a tricky word and I wish I could find a better one when it comes to Belle because while abuse is a loaded word and maybe not the right one, the problem is that Belle does come across as wholly inconsistent not only from episode to episode but from scene to scene. It’s that constant back and forth–from “there’s hope and we can be a family and raise our son even if it’s not together!” to “I am 10000% done with you, you’ll have no contact with our child or any say in how he’s raised or any say in anything unless you act how I want”–that’s so frustrating.

    Adding one more thing but if we look ahead to next week:

    we know that Rumple and Belle team up to face a surprising danger to their son. So what do we take from this? That when Belle decides Gideon needs extra protection, then she can call on Rumple to Dark One it up and protect Gideon? To use his magic to meet her desires? But in all other cases, when Belle says “nope,” then being who Rumple is choosing to be is verboten? First, to quote Snow, “defeat and repeat” that’s their life. Belle needs to make a clean break and learn not to rely on Rumple’s magic when she needs it OR she needs to reopen the lines of communication and actually sit down and set real boundaries and not change her mind when it suits her ends

    We haven’t discussed in awhile so here’s a quick rundown!

    –Lucy’s father is the Rittenhouse guy! So it’s probably not a coincidence that she got involved in all this.

    –Liked the space episode, like that they tied in the new movie “Hidden Figures”

    –Glad to see Flynn getting a bit more fleshed out in terms of motive. His family being brutally murdered must have really done a number on him.

    –Flynn saved his half brother? So you can save people in the past?

    –Only a few episodes to go. Sadly most people are predicting it’ll be cancelled but the next few weeks’ numbers will matter a lot.
