I ask myself, every week, why I still tune in. :\ And I hate that it's become such an awful show that I feel that way! I keep watching because I keep hoping this nonsense is suddenly going to make sense! Like, was Emma having all of this as one fantastic nightmare after season 3A?
Heh, yeah, agreed, that's why I've started making myself "oh look how pretty the Rumbelle hair is!" posts and "look how gently he touches her!" so I can focus on the wonderfulness that RC and EdR bring to these roles despite the awful writing!
If it helps, there is some really good meta here: http://standbyyourmantis.tumblr.com/tagged/rape-tw if you scroll back a bit that addresses just how messed up and triggery Zelena's treatment of Rumple is. I too found it INCREDIBLY triggering when she had him pinned in that hospital bed. They've never dealt with him being held captive and molested by her by a year, or all the psycho-sexual torture she put him through. And now she's back. I can't blame Rumple for anything since then, not fully, not when he's still under threat from her.
And agreed on Regina too--I lost all respect for both her as a character and for her supposed redemption arc when she did that to Belle.
I'm so mad at Regina after last night's ep! Much more mad now.
And I want to slaughter Cora. Slowly and extra cruelly. I hate it when she decides upon Regina's happiness without actually consulting Regina. Regina is still a bitch, but I feel for her when I see her dearest mommy :(
