I may be giving them more credit than is due, but how could the writers not be aware? Take a look at the following example.
Gosh that’s…..yeah.
The inconsistencies in writing really make me think that the writers don’t talk to one another and just write what they feel like. And the fact that Jane wrote this past week’s episode makes me look at her work on Buffy and go “what the…”
If the writers are doing something consciously, it’s not with the intent to show why CS isn’t TL or why it can’t work. Remember, this is a plot thing. They can’t have a TLK break Emma’s dark one curse right off the bat. So they hem and haw and delay by having CS look even more terrible than it already does, but likely–come the 100th episode—they’ll have Hook somehow accept Emma as both light and dark, accept the Dark One inside and declare that he’ll love her forever no matter what (all evidence of the past episodes be DARNED!) and the you’ll get the kiss and BOOM. Curse over. It’s a delay tactic for the purpose of their narrative but only serves to ruin all of their story. I don’t trust the writers. Deliberate or not, they aren’t going to suddenly do an about face and have Emma wind up with Regina, have her wind up alone and happy as a single mother, or bring back Neal and go “yup. it was SF all along.” So, yes, the writers might know what they are doing, but it’s not actually a good thing.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"n fact, they said that next week’s episode would be Arthur’s backstory, which adds up with all the behind the scenes photos from when 504 originally filmed.
Also with the title of the episode
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"This thought just occurred to me. It seems like for the first time ever, the fourth episode of the Season is NOT a Rumple centric. Season 1 we had “Price of Gold”, Season 2 we had “The Crocodile”, Season 3 we had “Nasty Habits”, and Season 4 we had “The Apprentice.” I guess this is like when the second episode of Season 4 wasn’t a Regina centric, despite all previous second episodes being so, but a Charming centric instead.
Yes you’re right; that’s actually strange because he *just* woke up in time for his traditional episode
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I don’t think that he will be alive for much longer, though. Does anyone else think that either Arthur or Guinivere cast the curse using Lancelot’s heart? (probably Guinevere?)
Yeah that’s where I’m leaning as well.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"At that level, yes. It’s really going to come down to how far we fall (plus actor contracts and how many dramas ABC is going to lose this year—Blood and Oil, Nashville, and Castle are looking bad. They don’t want to lose 4)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Forgot to mention, but that matches our series low, so if we go lower then we’re below where we’ve ever been before.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"On the other hand, are the writers really not aware of what they’re doing?
I *really* don’t think they know what they are doing or how it’s coming across. And, why should they? The CS shippers are still singing the praises of the ship and the pirate in spite of lines like this one!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I think my MA in religious studies did not prepare me for the idea that Moses was in the Enchanted Forest.
However, religious themes have been apart of this show since day one. This isn’t them incorporating anything. It’s them building on it, but they were smart and didn’t flat out name Moses or God/Yahweh. There are other burning plants in mythology so they are alluding to but covering their butts by being vague
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Yes football and TWD are factors but this is also 100% expected. We *always* begin the dip around the third or fourth episode. Not unexpected at all. The *real* thing to watch is how fast we fall.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Only hole in the Rumple dying to become a hero theory, is that Emma still needs him to be able to pull the sword out.
Unless Rumple dies after he pulls the sword and somehow forges it back with the dagger?
