Nealfire ...Guess it depends what you mean by a lot. Nealfire fans and the SF shippers to be sure are *livid*. Many have already declared they are no longer watching--and it's not because he died. It's because of how he died. I did a podcast on this subject on Wednesday if you wanted to take a listen: http://oncepodcast.com/?powerpress_pinw=258583-podcast <br />I think I come in about an hour to an hour and 15 mins to explain why we're mad. <br /><br />As to who is mad: beside the SF shippers, I've seen a lot of just general audience reaction which seems to be stunned disbelief but also, "everyone always comes back on this show. He'll be back" and they don't understand that he probably is gone for good.

(don't get started. Go watch WL. You'll see)<br /><br />Belle was my pick for Scarecrow because her entire essence is wrapped up in her knowledge and book reading. <br /><br />I don't think Rumple cast the Curse. I think Zelena did, using the heart of her father--whoever he may be. <br /><br />No idea why Zelena wants Baby Snowflake. But they way the have made Snow into a pregnant idiot is rather insulting. <br /><br />1) No. The WL timeline is S2 of ONCE. And the laws were healed (go watch WL)<br /><br />2) I believe he's gone. For good. Because PLOT<br /><br />3) I would like for Zelena to connect to Seasons 1-3A but I have very little hope for that. <br /><br />4) PLOT<br /><br />5) That's why I like you. You can ship it but see the story underneath it all. I don't know. People are of different opinions. I go back and forth. I don't want this to be solely fan pandering. But I don't have much hope for it being otherwise, at this moment. <br /><br />6) Because it was rushed and crappy.

I understand introducing Zelena because now we know to watch out for her and see how she plots and what she does. I'm glad to see Rumple again, but now we know how he is alive (even though I was never really sure he was dead). Which by the way…WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAWS OF MAGIC?!? I fully support the idea of sacrifice, you willing trade your life so that another may live; in essence true love: a life for a life. But I thought the rules of magic clearly stated that once dead, there is no coming back. *head desk*<br />Regardless of the above rant, we now know at least part of the reason Rumple is back. According to Zelena, he has a magnificent brain. While I don't doubt that in the slightest, I would argue that Belle has a magnificent brain and Zelena is very aware of her existence. Rumple may be cunning, but Belle has knowledge…that is the essence of her whole freaking character.<br />I have been assuming that Zelena used Rumple to recast a version of The Curse, but since both Belle and Neal were alive…what would Rumple have sacrificed? <br />The only mystery is what does MM and David's baby have to do with Zelena? Zelena is petty and jealous of her half-sister and wants revenge but what does the baby have to do with it? "Ha ha, look I have a kid and you don't."<br />Questions:<br />1) Was Rumple able to be brought back by the incredibly rushed plot line and conveniently placed Vault of the Dark One because Jafar completed his spell…even though that was in the past and I assumed it was rectified by the time we arrived to one year ago…(time lines…brain pain)<br />2) Is Neal really gone or is this just a way to add drama? If Rumple could be brought back, why can't Neal? Clearly the rules no longer apply.<br />3) Is it possible that Zelena was helping Pan? She was secretly controlling or aiding him? How did he get the picture of Henry? Assuming Zelena was watching throughout season 1 & 2, did she orchestrate the eventual downfall of the first Curse so that she could get her revenge?<br />4) Why in Christ's name would Zelena send Rumple back to the cage where she knows people have previously discovered him?<br />5) Was Neal really killed off for CaptainSwan? I'll admit, I liked CaptainSwan as a couple. I could see that being a fling, or purely physical. Or hey, even an actual romance but then Hook redeems himself by sacrificing himself or some nonsense. But by no means did I see that actually working out.<br />I was never a huge fan of Neal, but he did not deserve to be "turned into a villain" and then slain all in the same episode. Why does this all feel so rushed and…crappy? DoctorPhoenix88https://www.blogger.com/profile/06188751210934523746noreply@blogger.com
