Oh for sure. It’s going in a few directions.
The clothing, white actors, and the character descriptions do seem to fit with POM’s Jekyll and Hyde theory.
The scar and some aspects of descriptions and the giant Lion seem to fit with Lion King.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Hello giant scar on face…… Well that throws in a bit of a curve ball.
I have been saying it, and saying it, and saying it … Even before we saw a scar. The two brothers will be Scar and Simba. Sam Witwer is Scar!
Well…I’m not wholly convinced, yet.
The scar easily be a Jekyll/Hyde thing–mad scientist indicated by some sort of physical malady.
The clothing is wildly off for the Lion King. I’m not saying we dress them in banana leaves, but I would really hope they wouldn’t cast the very African tale in such Euro-centric clothing.
The scar is interesting, but I wouldn’t quite jump to Lion King quite yet.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Ripped them out and burned them in Archie’s office: episode 102, “The Thing You Love Most.”
Regina didn’t even know about the book until Emma came to town; Snow gave it to Henry in secret.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Hello giant scar on face……
Well that throws in a bit of a curve ball.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"You might be right. But there was no info about a fury showing up. I am not in denial, but I’m just not going over the top of it like most people are.
Fury is CGI. It wouldn’t show up literally during filming. If anything, it’d be some wind and a tennis ball on a stick or something and that assumes that the death was filmed outdoors, which it doesn’t appear to have happened. Just the funeral.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"That passage on Hades reads like bad fanfiction. I think Hades story happens during the 28 years of the curse. Rumple was supposedly his biggest supplier of souls but he was trapped in Storybrooke as Mr Gold so obviously couldn’t go about murdering. Issac was the author during that time and he travelled between worlds eg 1920s London where he met Cruella.
Did Regina kill anyone during the Curse, though? Outside of Graham and Kurt?
And Isaac was trapped inside the book at that the time of the Curse–he was put there before Emma was even born. And the book doesn’t go into Curse-Years, right? Just pre-curse years. And it’s Oz, not the EF? Does the book have other non-EF stories (I can’t remember honestly)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This episode wasn’t as good as last week, but there are definitely some good things happening here. But first, a wee bit of criticism. I keep saying this, but it bears repeating: Gotham is often times so disjointed and jarring in its aesthetics and tone. This is such an episode. On the one hand, we have a grim and gritty look at Gotham’s broken systems, something that the show started with. Gordon in jail was a nice examination of *why* Gotham will someday need Batman. Usually I’m not a huge fan of Gordon and his storylines because Ben McKenzie gets a little to melodramatic (as do his lines, and the same thing happened this week–seriously, that final conversation between Gordon, Harvey, and Falcone on the bridge…ye gods, the dialogue was dripping in self-seriousness to the point of it being something out of a high school dramatization) but this week it felt organic to the show.
However, on the other hand, you have the almost cartoon-y adventures of Penguin and his new family. So many cliches! The wine glass being shattered in anger, the thunderstorms, the dark and sinister pills and looks. Pee Wee Herman dropping telling lines like “you’re my only blood relative” while Not!Daughter looks on in anger; confession of family secret, followed by Father wanting to will everything to Penguin in the morning followed by instant death. I like camp and I even liked the Penguin parts of this episode, but when they are working in tandem with Jim’s story it feels very jarring to go from Serious Prison! to Lair of Rich Billionaire Family!
However, the show did hit some good beats even if I found the transitions jarring, the prison stuff was quite good because it easily fit into the thesis of the show from S1.
Some other things:
–Leah lost the baby? Off screen? Eh gads NO. This is not the sort of thing that you keep off screen. That’s emotional drama right there. The show missed a lot of opportunists to develop Leah as a real person (and not just Jim’s love interest) by keeping the loss of a child to stage left. Not to mention “she’s fine. She moved down south and no one’s heard from her.”
–Harvey thinks the real murder is out there eating donuts and getting laid. LOL
–RIP Pee Wee Herman (kind of a waste of a character and his death wasn’t even that emotionally riveting. Penguin’s lost another parent before and that one had a lot of impact. Also, Penguin needs to re-enter the proper story. He’s too peripheral right now.
–I miss Nygma
–Pee Wee Herman wears an old fashioned dressing gown WITH a nightcap AND carries a candle. What century is Gotham in???
–The show did NOT just turn rape into a punchline, right?? (no, they did)
–LOL the monocle. Nice reference to DC Penguin as we know him in the actual Batman comics
–Movie night at the Gotham Prison is a Loony Toons cartoon. There’s something very meta about this…
–“How do you get rid of rats?” “Glue traps?”
–Next week’s promo looks Nygma-tastic. I am ready for that.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Oh, I agree completely. At this point, everything points to Robin dying. But there may still be a twist. Either to his death or to what we think is his death, but which may be something else. We’ll see.
Oh sure. There can be a twist, especially on a show like this where magic, time travel, and journey to Hell are possible. But at this point I don’t think there’s enough evidence to suggest that there is a twist–I think we’re looking at a straight up death, like Neal two years before.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"everyone has been wearing these black uniforms in two episodes with funerals already; The outsider, and It’s not easy being green.
Everyone wears black to a funeral. The “widows weeds” is the hat/veil Regina is sporting which is tell-tale symbol for REgina having lost someone who means more to her than the dead person means to other people.
And shouldn’t Henry be at the funeral as well? It was said he was not there like rumple and Belle. Tinkerbell should be there for them both, she is not is she? And if it were Robin’s funeral, these three would be there for him.
Pretty sure Jared was there (everyone kept saying it was only Belle/Rumple missing–and Robin) Belle was filming something else because they needed to get her stuff with Merida done before EdR pops. They can always do a reshoot of Belle at the funeral. She wouldn’t have to do much besides stand around a coffin looking sad, something that wouldn’t take very long at all, whereas shooting long sequences with Merida would
Tinkerbelle is currently unavailable because of iZombie. There are constraints on who can or cannot come for a quick scene like a funeral based on actor availability. Little John is very available because he has no steady job/tv show. Rose McIver is the lead star of another program. It’s harder for her to come for an episode. And while Tink would be nice, she’s not vital to Robin’s story; Little John is. It’s very telling that he’s there.
I found nothing about the the other false rumor of him leaving. They said that Regina’s story Robin and Zelena continues on. Besides you remember when snow wasn’t seen in some of the other episodes? Why is Robin’s any different.
No they didn’t. You’ve misread the article, which I tried to point out in the thread where we have that article posted, which was a click-bait article.
It’s click bait for a fandom that is currently in chaos, hence the title is very click-baity but the actual “article” isn’t anything at all to do with the rumors and Robin Hood/Sean Maguire. The questions they posed are very telling: it’s not about Robin at all, but about Regina’s HEA which is the “story that is continuing onward” not the R/RH/Z one.
Regina’s HEA story continues on, but that does not necessitate Robin and in fact Robin wasn’t mentioned at all in relation to the article. And the tweet the article later removed, and was the reason for the posting in the first place, was about the sexual harassment rumors."He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"And even if they are that thick, don’t they have a “reception” team of interns that are paid (poorly) to troll tumblr/twitter etc and report on how the audience is reacting? Or something? Surely someone must be pointing out that at least a portion of the audience has noticed this?
You would think so…but I often doubt it. I honestly think the writers are deaf and blind to the fandom and the fandom’s reactions. Did they, for instance, notice that last night people got “Emma deserves better” trending on Twitter? Or that Once Upon a Hook has become a popular saying?
But then these are probably the same interns who misspelled Neal’s name on Twitter a few times, who tweet nothing but Hook photos and CS videos.
