[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Bullet points pretty much never work. You get code vomit. That’s why most of us would just use — or something.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Here we go!!!
–…Annalise? That’s dangerous.
–“Nate’s wife.” The stuff has hit the fan
–“I want you to kill me.”
–Any of us can become killers. Foreshadowing?
–Is she a sociopath?
–“We’re in love and we plan on getting married after the inheritance comes in.” Um. That’s called motive right there.
–“You don’t know how to use your boobs?” Um.
–Okay well she’s clearly nuts!!!
–No not “of course.” Defend your client but she is clearly insane! Deleting the video is not the route to go here, Annalise
–Can we take a moment and appreciate Viola Davis in that red dress?
–“It’s on you.” No crazy lady! It’s on your daughter who is clearly a sociopath with violent tendencies.
–Well THAT was an outburst. My god. That was…intense.
–That is who leaked the video?!?! Oh boy.
–“You’d send Frank to kill me on the way out…” Where is the lie?!
–“I cannot deal with any other blood on my hands.” Oh no bby.
–So not screwing, but want to screw. Sure. Still squicky.
–“I’m sorry you feel alone in your pain. But so do I. So does everyone. That’s life.” Right in the feels.
–Bonnie. What the….?
–OH NO. SHE SEES THEM
–Mental. This show is mental.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Two possibilities as I see it
1) Hook’s father was a member of the Round Table
2) The prophecy Merlin gave that Arthur believes is about him is really about Hook and Arthur just got lucky in pulling the sword originally.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"TV Grim Reaper has a rare look at the C+3 ratings from the first week. C+3 ratings are the ratings that advertisers actually pay for, which are rarely seen by the public. C+3 ratings are based on how many viewers within 3 days watched all of the commercials of a show: http://www.tvgrimreaper.com/2015/10/14/c3-commercial-ratings-vs-livesame-day-program-ratings-from-week-1-do-they-change-the-prediction-picture/479/ As you can see, there’s not a significant difference between Live + Same Day compared to C+3.
That’s really interesting. It goes back to what you said maybe 3 pages ago–we’re down to a group of very loyal viewers who are going to tune in, but that’s about it. We won’t be picking anyone else up and the key, then, is not to lose the loyal viewers. And…thus far…it looks like we’re not.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Okay, I know we’ve discussed this many, many times, but do you think this absolute ban on any mention of Nealfire comes from the Trolls, ABC, and/or Disney???
I don’t think ABC dictated that they ignore Nealfire. I think ABC dictated CS and I think A and E took it to an absurd extent with 1) killing Neal (you can easily have CS be endgame and not erase Rumple’s son/ Henry’s father/ Emma’s friend/ reason for the curse) and 2) then choosing to largely ignore Nealfire’s role in the narrative except when it’s absolutely necessary to mention him in passing.
It’s like A and E couldn’t figure out a way to juggle all those balls so they took the cheap and easy way out by simply dropping one ball. They will occasionally pick it up–usually during awkward and strange in universe moments that make no sense later on–only to placate the fans who realize that they have dropped a ball.
For example, I love the 405 moment when Hook pulls out the picture of Emma and Neal from Emma’s special box. It’s the Swan Nuzzle and it’s sad and it’s well acted on JMo and Colin’s part and it gave me a lot of feels. But, after some distance, the scene makes zero sense because there was no one to snap that picture! I mean…they literally lifted a screenshot and used that. It was placation because they had gone roughly 4 episodes without a Neal reference and knew they needed one.
Example #2, Henry asking the Apprentice if he could write his father back into the story when he had spent all season ignoring his father’s death and even his father’s prior existence! Suddenly, after Hook had been brought back because of *mumbo jumbo magical handwave* THEN Henry was all torn up about losing his dad? Yeah, right, no. That was A and E sitting down with fans and going “look he’s never coming back and here’s a really silly explanation for why everyone else gets to come back but not him so can we drop this now plz? Have a pirate!”
If ABC had actually dictated this Anti-Nealfire Clause then they’d never mention him but they do in the most minimally invasive way possible, when they know they need to insert him to placate fans. The other 99.9% of the time he’s egregiously ignored even when it results in plot holes, inconsistent writing and OOC moments from characters–see for example the latest controversy involving a cutlass.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think they both make valid points. Yes, they believed/heard Lance was dead (but only cause Cora said so and sure…let’s trust THAT woman) but Charming wants to trust Arthur implicitly because they had a total bro moment. They are both right and both wrong. And Charming doesn’t just want to open up to Arthur, he wants to give him the dagger–which does not sound like a good thing since the man is a total stranger at this point, bro moment or not. They both think they are right and both being a little insufferable.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"The comment that 5B will be “Hell” has had me thinking that Killian MIGHT sacrifice his life to save Emma somehow…and they’d go to the underworld after him. If they save Killian and NOT Neal (or at least Baelfire), I will throw things. Of course this is all rather wild speculation but still.
The more likely scenario is that they are going to Orpheus and Eurydice this situation and it won’t be “Permanent Death” so much as “taken by Charon” and therefore able to come back once rescued by the other. Of course they won’t bring back Neal/Bae. As I said a page back or so…they have a very strict Anti-Nealfire clause entrenched in their narrative. He’s the elephant in the room but A and E are doing somersaults–in writing AND logic–to avoid the pachyderm.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Thoughts on Sneak #2
–How does Henry know where to go?
–Sorry @Watcher, but I think that’s Hook
–omg Snow is actually making sense and not just jumping head first into silly situations?!
