I have determined that, when you are trying not to think about things that make you sad, the only thing worse that a long drive by yourself is sitting at a full stop on the highway.
Tears have started… need them to stop.
All I can think is,
I don’t care
For your fairytales…
Cause this story needs some mending…
And a better happy ending…!!! DSB!!! I want to give you a hug so bad right now (want to take at detour up to Canada?). I know I’m one half of the resident Sad Town PR department, but we will get through this.
The one things I have hope in, out of everything, is that A&E will receive enough backlash from the fans that there will be no way for them to deny what they’ve done to this show and to us. Whether it be now, or when the finale/season 4 ratings start to come in, they will have to face the music that a sizable portion of their former audience DO NOT like the story that they’re telling, and DOES NOT like the changes the character have made, ESPECIALLY the women. It may not be now, but if they want a season 5 ABC will either have to lower their standards tremendously, or A&E will have to figure out how to court back the fans they’ve lost, or find some new ones somewhere, but the way things stand right now either will be a difficult task. But all I can do is hope that they don’t get away with this. What’s done is done, but anything that happens from here on out is their own fault and they will have to live with it.

Yes! I totally buy that this is how it all went down

This came up on my playlist today and I had to sit there for a moment. Yeah, this is pretty close to how I feel right now (aside from the occasional sadness and anger every time a new interview pops up).
The sky is not falling,
The sun is still shining,
And all of the fishes are still in the sea.
Mama’s still calling,
The bills are still piling,
My heart may be broken, but I hold the pieces, pieces.Had a mate to my soul, but I haven’t lost all hope ,
It’s not the end of the world,
It’s just over.Through tears I’m still smiling,
My life’s not decided
I can go anywhere I want to go.
Your ghost is still creeping,
There’s more room for sleeping.
I may be over you, you’ll never know, know.Had a mate to my soul, but I haven’t lost all hope,
It’s not the end of the world,
It’s just over, over, over, over.Had a mate to my soul, but I haven’t lost all hope,
It’s not the end of the world,
It’s just over, over, over.Co-Mayor of Sad Town | Twin of Co-Mayor of Sad Town | #HopeforRogueBison
@ouatrandothoughts – This has actually taught me to stay as far away from anything A&E are involved with from now on. Best I can do is take this as a learning experience.
I’m still on the Conspiracy Train though. There are too many suspicious things from this season that smell decidedly fishy to me, so if anything I’m monitoring the route of the Conspiracy Train with great interest for the foreseeable future while I co-run Sad Town as Co-Mayor with Onyx (who will have to bring in that Sad Villa now for all of A&E’s ex-Once lovers. The Sad Shack is sadly too small). Can’t kick me out of the community just yet, but I guess I’m just a poser or something at this point for sticking around when I don’t even like the show anymore…

Ya know, I was on the fence about watching the finale, especially about watching it live (I haven’t actually watched an episode live since maybe 313), but all the interviews today, especially that last one have made my decision really clear.
Dear Adam and Eddy,
I think it’s time we break up officially.
I truly truly loved this show. Probably more than any other show before. I loved the story and the characters and the way everything played out over the first season. I stuck around for seasons 2-3A out of faith and loyalty, even when a lot of the people I knew who watched it had jumped ship. I didn’t listen and I held out hope that things would get better, and instead I’ve had my heart broken, because I followed the breadcrumbs to a story that the birds had already eaten away, and I can’t say I like what has been left behind.
Neal made the show worth watching for me. Made me willing to see past the glaring plot holes, poorly developed storylines, and the lack of deep character interaction. I could stomach it all because I believed in the hype that happy endings were possible, and that Neal was amongst those who deserved it the most, but sadly I was wrong.
Do I expect A&E to write a show that caters only to whom and what I love? No, but I honestly, with no malice or word of a lie thought I was watching a completely different show to where we have so far ended up. Maybe I had too much hope. Maybe I was too naive. Maybe I was just plain blind, but Once Upon a Time, the REAL show, isn’t for me anymore. For me all that’s left is the community and the fanfiction, and artwork that made being part of this fanbase so amazing, but the show itself doesn’t want me and honestly doesn’t need me. The story A&E are telling is not one I want to see anymore, and as much as I don’t want it to be okay, it kind of has to be. I’m just a number. I’m just a demographic. You can’t please everyone.
So to A&E I give a slow clap. You had me sold from episode 1 and I would have followed you to the ends of the earth to see the characters you brought into my life have a happy ending. Thank you for reminding me that not everyone gets a happy ending, and that in all likelihood that will also include me. I will be wiser with my choices in the future, especially my TV viewing ones. The heart is too fragile a thing and I deeply regret giving mine to you.
Best of luck on your finale ratings, and I wish this had been an amicable breakup.
Me

The problem I have right now is that past Rumple would have moved heaven and earth to get to Bae. When told by the Blue Fairy that there was no way to get to the Land Without Magic he pushed until he found a loophole, a crack to exploit to get what he wanted. He waited and planned for 300 years until he finally got what he wanted. Old Rumple refused to let things happen to him, instead he was the one making things happen. Making HIS things happen.
Current Rumple has just given up. It’s a “this is life. there’s nothing you can do” mentality. Somewhere along the way he lost that middle finger he gave to the universe when it said he was going to be his father’s son, and that he’d made his choice to let Bae go and he was going to have to live with it. Current Rumple is just broken, and it hurts to watch. I haven’t been able to watch the preview, but I’m hoping Old Rumple doesn’t take things lying down, that he refuses to go down without a fight, that he sees an opportunity to exploit another loophole, another crack in the rules and will get what he wants. Come on Rumple! Baelfire is worth screwing with the time line!
I want to be cautiously optimistic about this, but I am the co-mayor of Sad Town, and I have to keep up appearances.

Little Witch?
JZ?I wish I could explain to my coworkers why JZ is so funny. Or at least in a way that doesn’t make them realize just how insane I really am… >_<

It’s full of plot holes. Don’t do it.
Well, if you put it that way…
I mean, if my Mom couldn’t stay wherever she was living, “sleeping in her car” is just not the first assumption I would make. Add that onto a scene that had no real “point” in the episode, and it makes it doubly suspicious. The only reason that scene existed was for Henry to allude to his parents’ history, by making assumptions that – while historically accurate – he had no logical reason to make. I’m gonna call Shenanigans on that one.
I agree. I was just trying to find some sort of A&E appropriate reasoning for why Henry might say something like that, other than the PLOTTYPLOTPLOT reasoning that they want to show that Henry wants to stay and he’s taking a proactive role in making that happen. I can only assume there’s going to be a showdown of wills at some point between Emma and Henry. And really, if Henry wants to stay in Storybrooke, I think everyone knows Emma can’t really make him leave. He’d find a way back, not to mention Regina still probably being his legal guardian. It always just comes down to PLOTTYPLOTPLOT. Because Plot.

Quotes are back? Quotes are back! Yay! *Muppet flailing*
BTW what has ever given Henry logical reason to think Emma would sleep in her car? What an odd statement to make, taken from that angle. Anyways.
I kind of always thought that Emma lived in her car at least briefly when she first got out of prison. I mean really, she was 18, with no money and just a car. Where else was she going to go? And in regards to Regina’s cursed memories, I don’t know if the State would have given her Henry right away (I kind of think she might have had to fight for custody, which meant she would have had to get her life sorted out A.S.A.P. in order to make her case), but I figure that there was at least some car living back in Henry’s early years in those cursed memories. And there was probably any opportunity during their year in NY to tell Henry at least a few stories about her past, probably not any part involving Neal, but who knows. But then again, I could be extrapolating and making waaaaay too much stuff up (damn you newly formed fanfic brain!)
Also DSB – one of your spoilered bits gave me a fic idea. This is all your fault, so obviously I’m going to make you listen to it later. I require you to tell me that it’s full of plot holes and that I shouldn’t do it.
