I share your thoughts about OUaT. Aside from simplifying the good vs. evil stuff, I just find Henry incredibly boring and I really dislike the way he treats Regina. Also, I do not love this show the way most people do or the way I thought I would. I actually fell asleep during this week's episode (granted, I was watching it at 2 in the morning but still) and haven't cared to go back and re-watch.
Pan Am gives me all the feelings! It breaks my heart that so few people are watching it because I think it's one of the best new shows of the season and it'll probably never see a season 2 :(
Sigh, it's really sad because OUaT has all the ingredients to be brilliant and seriously barrier-breaking. I think if it was on one of those networks like Showtime or HBO with better writers, and no obligation to pander to a particular kind of audience, it would be a better show. A more daring show, at least
( ... )
I'm the same with Regina. So far, she's the only main character I really care about so of course, I'm going to be disappointed. The show seemingly wants to portray her as the evil villain when I think she's much more complicated than that. Or should be, anyway :)
OUAT: I wish it was darker or more grey than it is. I wish Rumpel/Mr. Gold wasn't an anomaly as far as his skeeming ways. I wish the big finish wasn't the characters finding their happy endings. You're right, they should have just had the characters realizing that something was wrong, that they had another life. Or Emma could've found the book herself and made her way to Storybrook.
Henry needs to stop talking. He sounds older than he is yet at the same time I'm supposed to care about his childhood eyes being opened or whatever. I hate how he ignores Regina and how he talks about her as if she wasn't all he knew for 10 years. Like there's NO emotion or warmth there. That's ridiculous. I don't care about Emma building a relationship with him.
Regina and Mr. Gold are the best, and after the sappiness of last episode about good people, I'm rooting for Mr. Gold to not only come back and bite Emma in the ass, but that he bites her hard.
Oh, I forgot to say that my favorite music era is the 90s! Of course my tastes aren't varied as I was just a little girl from Haiti in 99 and we had basic cable from the longest, but I'm hard pressed to find a song from that time that doesn't the nostalgia or that doesn't make me feel good in general.
Me too. We didn't have any sort of cable or whatever in my country but I still have so much affection for the music and the films and pop culture from that time. *as she listens to the Spice Girls unashamedly*
I almost want to watch for Regina and Mr. Gold scenes but I reckon I will leave it for a few episodes and marathon it one weekend.
Yeah, I would love if Emma had been able to find the book. Like, they have the chance to create a narrative that is entirely driven primarily by the three forces of these very different but equally interesting women (Regina/Queen, Emma, Mary/Snow). And then they insert Henry into it in a way that is actually still awkward to me, ten episodes in because it just doesn't (as yet) feel like they need him. And it honestly seems like it's messing with the story.
Ugh, yes to the strange lack of anything but hate that Henry has for Regina. It would be great to see him struggling with a conflict of feeling for his two mothers. But none of that and it's off-putting and odd without explanation.
I just have a visual of him biting her in the arse now. I don't know whether to thank you or to cry, lol.
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 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.
Yeah, I'm so sad. Remember how excited we were for like five minutes after "Snow Falls"? And then REGINA and her entire existence? Crying for what could've been tbh.
Yes to your Henry feelings. I just wish they could give him just a little conflict, a little tension because it's really awful to watch, blech.
Amen to the 70s. Oh my god, 90s dance music is the best tho. I feel like I used to sing "It's a beautiful life" but now that I'm older, it makes sense that it might be "night"....?
I was thinking one reason Emma should already believe Henry's story is so that she can start actively trying to break the curse. But how? She has no power, she's no match for Regina. Do people just need to be really super duper happy and Regina will start melting? Wtf?

It's the '90s for me too. Pop culture is at its peak when you're a kid, lmao.
