  1. Monroeville is only an hour or so away from me,  and my Dad's family is from right around there.  Harper Lee's sister controlled most of her business dealings, but with her sister's death, I think there's a niece who is in control, and who is not well thought of.  Most folks around here don't believe Lee has been making her own decisions for several years, and I doubt she's capable of it.

  2. Take out the "been". The only accurate statement is that Regina has screwed over the most. She screwed everyone. Even Rumple hasn't randomly killed for pleasure to the extent she has, though he obviously is in competition for screwing folks over.

    One bad event happening to you followed by a lifetime of your own destructive choices is not being screwed over the most, particularly in comparison to your own rape, murder and genocide victims.

    Right now, the show hasn't established any moral horizon lines, so a villain could potentially kill 100 innocent people, but if they feel bad about it and try to ask for forgiveness, they're easily forgiven and the heroes will set time aside in their schedules to help give them a happy ending.

    It's even worse than that.  In this show, when a villain decides that they forgive themselves (or don't need forgiveness as Regina apparently decided in her case), then the heroes are still written to turn themselves inside out, beyond what any normal person would do to grant forgiveness that hasn't even been asked for.

     

    In this show, the villains expect a happy ending, not because they have put in the work necessary for redemption, not because they regret their past actions, not because they have asked for forgiveness.  No, in this show, the villains expect a happy ending because they themselves have decided they deserve one.  To quote the Esurance commercials, "That's not how it works . . ."

  4. Emma is the OUAT savior, not Jesus. She's the savior because she was the chosen one to break the curse, not because of her morality. In fact, sh has been one of the more gray characters in terms of what she is willing to do to accomplish her goals, which have always been good. Killing Cruella is in line with how Emma has always acted morally, so it is impossible to see it as a change to evil.

  5. They posted the Emma kills Cruella scene on the Facebook page for the show, and the fans' reaction does not bode well for the future of the show. They don't buy the going dark twist and a lot say they have no interest in watching that going forward.

    I'm currently in a folk/county-tinged phase, thanks mostly to "Nashville." Despite being from the South, I never liked country music, but the music on that show is amazing.

    Have you tried Old Crow Medicine Show?  Best described as "punk rock bluegrass", and incredible live.  I have fallen in love with their latest couple of albums.  Early stuff (Wagon Wheel) and later stuff (Remedy and Carry Me Back albums) are awesome.  Middle stuff without co-founder Critter Fuqua isn't as good.
