I think I may have to end my rewatch. I think I’m going to start over. The season 5 finale and thinking about starting season 6 is sucking the joy out of my fan fic reading. I know from previous experience that starting over always clears my palate when it comes to this show. I just need to stop after season 3 😂. The more I think about it the more I feel rewatching season 6 will just completely kill any desire to read any CS fic. I might join up again when you get to season 7.

This is an interesting alternative take on post season 3 finale. https://archiveofourown.org/works/17631620/chapters/41572682

If they were offing him this season they should have offed him in the first half of the season, he had no purpose all season. I hate the way Regina treated Emma when Hook showed back up as if the whole thing was Emma’s fault. If Robin dying would have been Regina’s fault it would have been more dramatic and an actual consequence for her.

This flashback undermined all the coolness of our introduction to Emma in the pilot. Timeline means Emma was a thief still a few years before the pilot. I actually need to actively forget this flashback to continue to enjoy Emma Swan.

Honestly I despise this episode and Cora getting her happy ending.

They really did write ouat as if they were writing for morons.

When Emma says she’ll sleep for weeks once they defeat Hades I just knew they were going to have Emma under a sleeping curse in season 6. Alas they tend to drop all the Chekhov’s guns.

So far behind on the rewatch, I guess season 5 is where I really started to fall out of love with the show since I don’t think I’ve completed a rewatch of it without stopping and going back to season 3.

I’ve been spending some time perusing the Lucifer forum. Mainly in season 4 the most recent season on Netflix. I see nothing but high praise in the episode threads. It’s actually fascinating that the show has the same show runners but just moving to Netflix from network made a world of difference in the show. It floundered in season 3 and lost itself a bit. The 10 episode arc opposed to a 22 episode season is part of it I’m sure. It makes me wonder how much meddling networks actually do in shows.

I’m watching Lucifer. Just finished season 4. I’m very impressed with the writing. one thing Ouat did incredibly poorly,...

I’m binge watching Lucifer and getting the urge to discuss it online. Which I haven’t had with any show since Once. I want to get caught up first, so a couple more weeks I think. So far, up to near the end of season 3 I’m enjoying it and not seeing a lot of issues. But binge watching is dramatically different from watching live. Far less time to think about each episode and no chance at all to speculate or have expectations to be fulfilled or to be disappointed.

Honestly the only Disney animated movie I’d like to see live action is Treasure Planet. Mostly because I’d like to see an update of Treasure Island I suppose.

Good footnote for the entire series frankly.

And even if she had sent him how would she know exactly what went down? That whole scene was full of stupid from the carriage ride when they were at her castle 5 minutes ago talking about taking Claud to Wonderland. The TLK between Brennan and his nurse of all things when we know sleeping curses don’t work that way. Um did they already forget the burning room? It would have worked much better if it was made clear this was a vision that Regina created to test Hook, then she’d have a valid way of knowing exactly what happened and what was said.

Looked it up, Damon Lindelof. It’s a shame he wasn’t officially attached to the show and continued with it. I guess once they were renewed they just stopped seeking out his advice, since they were now master storytellers, ya know. https://www.tvguide.com/news/damon-lindelof-once-upon-a-time-abc-1036165/

Then at some point in season 2 it started to become the Regina show. The lasagna scene was the first look at what they really wanted us to dwell on, Regina’s pain. I know there was a producer in season 1 that was guiding them I think that is the loss we feel between seasons.

I hate how Snowing treated Emma, I hate how Regina treated Emma. Hook really was just throwing truth bombs at her. He always supported her and she did ignore his DNR blatantly. The sword fight on the ship was stupid, no way Rumple could ever disarm Hook even when he’s drunk on power. Can’t the writers think of a better name than Operation Cobra part 2, I mean really? Operation Pirate Rescue, anything.

I wanted to watch the next one so even though I’ve watched every other episode. I skipped this one. Perhaps I’ll watch tomorrow if m really bored.

This was a good episode in itself but as everyone else has said it doesn’t fit with the rest of the season. Colin’s amazing. I didn’t really care for Jen’s DO voice the whole season so it throws off the performance for me.

If the dark one vault was something more than just a way to resurrect the dark one why did we never see more of it. This vault door is different than the one Neal used the key on to resurrect Rumple. Does the dark one vault have exits in different realms?

All I have to say about this episode is that Regina is a complete hypocrite and Snowing are the absolute worst.

So far behind on the rewatch, I guess season 5 is where I really started to fall out of love with the show since I don’t think I’ve completed a rewatch of it without stopping and going back to season 3.

Colin shaved his beard, sideburns and his hair is cut super close on the sides. Wondering if it’s for a role. He looks way different, I don’t like it. 😂

Jane made a comment about how the writers room for Once upon a time in wonderland was loud and boisterous with everyone throwing out ideas, but the main writers room is very calm and quiet. It almost sounds like the writers didn’t feel comfortable giving feedback or pushback to A&E. I’ve been in a lot of corporate staff meetings and quiet is a bad sign and is a sign that the head of the meeting isn’t open to suggestions.

Literally the only people that care at all about Emma in the Storybrooke portions are Hook and Henry, no one else even tries.
