    Apparently Ruby can “sniff” her pack out across realms? I mean, my god. If the girl can do that, then how does she not have a blistering headache everyday working in a diner with its various smells?

    Aurora’s pregnancy was “put on ice” when she became a monkey so it’s not unheard of on this show to pause pregnancy

    Yeah that’s true. But in this case, the fetus’ consciousness would be sent to a burning fire room of nightmare not simply (lol simply) turned into a different type of mammal. I mean, yes, yes….pointless questions. I know.

    Look for the season seven’s big arc to kick off in the final moments of season six.

    Um. Guys I think I’m missing a year of my life.

    Pretty sure this is mainly talking about 521, not 522/523.

    Given that the filming shots for the final two had the cast in NYC and SB, I’m inclined to agree.

    Hades and Zelena will make bold moves to have their happily ever after together,

    Hm. Interesting. So is there no long con going on?

    Hades is bound and determined to keep as many fresh souls as he possibly can. “I like having people down there. I don’t want to let anyone go,” Greg Germann teases.

    “Fresh souls” = someone’s gonna die.

    Has Henry even had nightmares since it stopped being convenient for the plot…I mean S2?

    You’re not misremembering. And she’ll have nightmares afterwards as well.

    And actually, what happens to the baby’s consciousness? Because Belle made it sound like her pricking her finger stops everything from developing, meaning the baby is more or less “put on ice” or in this case, put to magical sleep along with Belle. Does the baby go to the Red Room of Fire as well?

    If it was Disney budding in, then they would have budded in awhile ago.  Which would have given the writers enough time to develop the new lgbt relationship, instead of just one episode.  It sucks that Disney may have thwarted the writers’ plans for Mulan, but there is no excuse for the lack of development of the Ruby Slippers relationship.

    Yes, why was it okay in S2 and S3 but not now?

    Am I the only one who likes the relationship?

    It’s not that I dislike it. There were moments of greatness, but at the end of day, it was rushed and nothing will come of it. It was plopped down in the middle of our screen without any buildup. It’s….tokenism to an extent.

    The main cast are run of the mill attractive straight white people. Anyone else is there to make them look good. Period. That’s how American TV works.

    Malarkey. Even if it’s how it works, that doesn’t mean that is how it SHOULD work. And please…there are plenty of TV shows with non straight or non white people as leads or costars.

    it doesn’t matter who falls in love with who, they serve their main purpose of representing a minority group, while staying out of the way of the others.

    This is a pretty sad statement. Minority groups are subservient, then? Only designed to uphold the white people? Here? In the 21st century? Yeah, we’re totally living in a post racial society, guys.

    You know what TV could try? Equal representation for everyone. That means that minorities aren’t cast as just supporting characters or just to be props or tokens. They could..I don’t know…run the entire show. Because maybe they make up a really good portion of our society? And maybe showing the rich diversity of America and the world might actually make for a better story? Cf: Sense8

    Also, I hope the Podcast does the story line justice and discusses it with grace and dignity. There is really no overlooking this one.

    We’ve never had a villain that couldn’t (not wouldn’t…but couldn’t) commit murder; and especially not one that was also a god.

    Well, there was Cruella. Isaac literally took away her ability to kill anybody.

    Quote

    Ok that’s true. And that was really explicit in her centric. But since Cruella wasn’t the arc villain, her not killing (and then an explanation for why) wasn’t out of the ordinary. Hades, a god, running the Underworld, not killing…needs an explicit explanation and not waiting for the final few episodes

    If anyone is interested in a live reaction to this episode from an LGBT couple then Bri and Alex of OSOTM do a great one. I will state: they aren’t happy. So please, be prepared for some fairly negative reactions. But, I think it’s important to hear from people within the actual queer community.
