There's barely any of that happen in here. We need more realism to go along with magic.Rushyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584375790614532125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762533105908358882.post-31619799388399593012014-11-08T11:47:34.262-08:002014-11-08T11:47:34.262-08:00I think they should step away from the villains an...I think they should step away from the villains and focus more on the psychology on the people we have. Sometimes, the episodes that appear to have nothing to do with the premise turn out to be masterpieces.<br />Well, the only masterpiecs OUAT produced were Hat Trick and the third season finale. The first focused on a minor character and came alive thanks to Sebastian Stan's performance and as I said above, fascinating psychology. The second one was interesting because of its use of time travel and the planting of Hook and Emma into flashback world.<br /><br />I think the show needs to really do something daring like that to become relevant, just on a grander scale. Because right now, Storybrooke is a static area that villains just drop into.Rushyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584375790614532125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762533105908358882.post-81082066136111721662014-11-08T08:08:24.203-08:002014-11-08T08:08:24.203-08:00I, for one, agree with the plot part.

The show thrived on mystery in its first season, but the writers refused to discover the answers of some questions they raised and lazily gave us a huge wham twist finale. <br /><br />Now, without a big arc to keep us guessing and guide them in their character exploration, they NEED to speak about the convoluted backstories of the new threats. <br /><br />I love it, but it's a bit repetitive.

The show burned through it's central premise(that of fairytale characters being translated into the modern world) in its first season. <br />Seriously though, with the exceptions of Jefferson and Baelfire, all plot arcs come to some kind of conclusion. <br />The rest of the seasons seem like they should be seasons 9-11, not 2-4.<br />That's usually when shows start living on borrowed time like this show does. Most of the characters are no longer interesting because they're literally just fairytale characters, as opposed to their far more interesting cursed personas. The mystery of "wtf is exactly going on?" is no more and if it weren't for the never ending onslaught of new villains plus Regina's fan base, OUAT wouldn't even have gotten a third season.<br /><br />Agree, disagree?Rushyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13584375790614532125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6762533105908358882.post-81768372460002846602014-10-28T10:55:15.760-07:002014-10-28T10:55:15.760-07:00God, I loved the jokes this ep.

I feel kind of stupid, being all emotional over this abridged, but you tend to point everything problematic and moving in the show, whether I want to see it or not, and it makes things better. So, thanks ! La Rialettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933479975708674312noreply@blogger.com
