OUAT: It's seriously going downhill. And it's sad because this show started with a lot of promise. The one with Snow/James backstory was the one that really got me hooked but for the past two episodes I'm not just feeling the enthusiasm for it anymore.
I think they rushed with all the backstories stuff. Rumple's backstory could have waited. The mystery surrounding him was interesting and they took that element away by revealing his weakness. And what a stupid manner in which they did that. I mean the whole reaching the dagger stuff was sillier than child play.
Henry gets on my nerves. That's all I have to say about him. And the rest of the stuff in this episode reg. Emma standing up to the truth/to Mr. Gold was all ridiculously childish and predictable.
And the steam's out of Emma/Regina now that they've taken out a very complex element, i.e. Graham from between them. I wasn't a big fan of him or anything but he was one factor that could have made things very interesting for Emma/Regina.
And last but not the least, they should have played more with Mary/David story when people were still interested.
I think it's weird that they went through this big thing, had a whole episode, about how Mary and David might start dating, even though I can't imagine an audience member who was falling for it, and in the end they didn't get together and Mary walked away crying. And then they only get one scene last episode. It's like bad pacing or something.
MY feelings. I feel for Snow/James like a ton of bricks in that episode and then welp. It just sort of lost its magic for me and I'm really sad about that. Because for a brief, lightning moment I was really consumed with them and their banter and their characters in the fairytale world.
Totally agree, they're rushing things. Graham's story? That should've taken at least a season to play out and really explore his connections with other characters and his own growing realizations. But because in that specific case, the walking plot device of Henry makes it so a lot of character story that could run over several episodes gets truncated.
Ugh, I'm afraid to watch Rumple's story because I was intrigued by him. But Blah.
Yup, they made a really intriguing triangle to me, not necessarily "love" but as three characters there was just so much story to tell there.
