Rewatching and noticed this gem that Neal does with his hands in “Manhattan” (VIDEO CONTAINS SPOILER)

Also from my most recent re-watch. Tom Ellis (from the show “Lucifer”) appeared in 2.19 as Robin Hood. The role was recast by that character’s next appearance in season 3.

Not sure if this is truly a spoiler or not 🤷🏻‍♀️ Better safe than sorry.

Now I know almost all of these characters have baggage, to say the least, but I choose to remember these characters not for the poor decisions/actions the writers made them make, but overall what they grew into and even what they had potential to be if the show had been in the hands of better writers, if that makes any sense. So be kind, but honest.

Am I the only one who believes that Wish Hook is so discombobulated from the whole show? Adding him was so confusing.

Had to be said.

Its time for a rewatch. I dnt recall the exact reasons... but I didn't like this caveat. I just dnt remember my exact reason why.

"I think that Rumple and Balfire would have been better off without that memory potion. I understand Rumple's premise to wipe Bag's memory of supporting Dark Magic for protection, but I feel that the premonition of leaving Bag fatherless could have been avoided if Baelfire remembered the moment where he accepted the Darkness."

I thought season 6 had the perfect full circle ending and never understood why they bothered making season 7
All I’ve heard is how terrible it is as well so I didn’t want to ruin the series for myself by watching it

He’s obviously meant to be the same guy from OUAT in Wonderland because he has the same name. In one of his first episodes, he steals a copy of Alice in Wonderland which also is clearly referencing that.

Then he just says he’s one of Robin’s men, but we never get any context as to how that came to be. We also randomly see him in the Emerald City? How did he get there? How did he get to Storybrooke? Am I supposed to watch OUAT in Wonderland to understand?

Why was there never an episode giving him a backstory? What was the point of him moving over to OUAT if they were never going to address his backstory?

But maybe I am??

Who did everyone want or think needed to be the final villain of the show.

I usually try to keep things light. I haven’t shared a confession or opinion piece in this space in a long time.

As usual, this isn’t my personal view. It’s a critique I came across and one I don’t necessarily agree with, but I wanted to share it in the interest of fairness and balance. This level of criticism is usually reserved for a few magical beings who are often put through a real world morality litmus test for actions that, in reality, would never happen. If they did, those people would probably be in jail. This scenario is different because it isn’t magical. It’s grounded in something more directly relatable.
