    And how in the world did Regina even know this guy and where to find him?

    Right?! How did she know this was Hook’s father? Did she just randomly bump into Brennan (Hook’s papa apparently) and then keep track of him for “reasons” and then realized Hook was breaking into her castle and said, “omg! This is totally the son of that one guy I met that one time. I must use this to my advantage! I’ll be sure to drop in some dialogue that will resonate with this one-handed dude and then he’s sure to do my bidding! What a perfect plan!”

    Clearly that line of dialogue was followed by Regina cackling with steeped fingers and then she is seen petting a white cat, as lighting flashes behind her menacingly.

    You know, because there is no complexity to the characters anymore. Just lock, stock, and barrel tropes.

    That drop could suggest that people didn’t like what they were seeing and were actively turning the show off.

    Can’t blame it on TWD this time around. It ended its run last week.

    Regina couldn’t use the wand before because she wasn’t “dark” enough. Not because she didn’t believe in herself.

    THAT! This whole “I didn’t believe in myself” came so far out of left field. It was because “you’ve gone soft” as Hook said.

    It’s clear that Rumple and Belle rekindled their relationship. Are you considering writing in Emilie de Ravin’s pregnancy now?

    Kitsis: I would say it certainly looked like they re-consummated their marriage, so we’ll just have to wait and see, but I would say you’re definitely on the right clue trail.

    Just when I thought I couldn’t possibly flip anymore tables. They are really going to do it. They are going to write in EdR’s pregnancy and make *this* baby be reason that Rumple finally decides to redeem himself. Neal himself wasn’t enough. Neal’s death wasn’t enough. Belle wasn’t enough. Losing Belle wasn’t enough.Being banished wasn’t enough. Being Hat-Sucked and transformed wasn’t enough. But a brand new shiny baby…well HOT DOG!

    Oh and they all went to the Underworld anyway so that’s problem solved, we get to have another half a season at the very least of Rumple getting to be with Belle despite secrectly being complete scum who betrayed them all for the millionth time.

    Here’s my question: where does Belle think Rumple went? She wakes up, sees that Rumple and rest of the CharMills are gone. Did he leave a note? Did he lie to Belle, just going out of a gallon of milk and a pack of smokes?

    Here’s a bit more context for the ratings and an attempt to see where we might end up

    8:00 p.m.

    ABC – Presidential Address
    Viewers: 5.29 million (#4), A18-49: 1.4/ 4 (#3t)

    8:30 p.m.

    ABC – Once Upon a Time
    Viewers: 4.37 million (#4), A18-49: 1.3/ 4 (#3)

    9:00 p.m.

    ABC – Once Upon a Time
    Viewers: 3.92 million (#3), A18-49: 1.1/ 3 (#2)

    So we went from a 1.4 at the top of the hour (President Obama) to a 1.3 by the time she show was officially on the air and then by the time the show was wrapping up, it’s a 1.1

    If anything, we’re probably going to even out to about a 1.2 maybe 1.3

    I haven’t read all the replies so someone probably already mentioned this, but making Rumple the DO again, just proves once more, they have no freaking idea what to do with Bobby’s character.

    It’s either one of two things. Either 1) they have no idea how to write Redeemed Rumple (or at least, Rumple trying to redeem himself). Like the concept literally baffles these professional writers. OR 2) They do know how to write a Redeemed Rumple but are choosing not to because they constantly need a contrast in good vs bad with their other former villains (mostly Hook, but also Regina). In order to prove that the other former villains are no longer villains, they refuse to put Rumple down the no-longer-a-villain path because it then they’ve lost their contrast.

    I’m not sure which option is worse.

    Numbers are in for episode 5×11 “Swan Song”

    Live Eyeballs  4.83 million

    Demo: 1.4

    Slight uptick from last week’s series low. We’ll have to see how it goes tomorrow after the President’s Address is taken into account, if at all.
