I absolutely ADORED OUAT when it started - it was it was even better than I hoped it would be based on the logline and previews. I was even inspired to make a Bandit Snow costume in time for the following year's Halloween.
Season 1 was definitely the best; the other comments that have said this were right, it was

I assume she killed them off just so Harry's relationship with his godson would mirror his own relationship with his godfather (that is, the godson never knowing his own parents, but finding a close parental figure in his godfather).
I'm not commenting on whether it was a good idea or not, just positing my theory on

Dear writers, every time I see a variation of this scene:

Jughead's short-lived transformation into a hopeful optimist was absolutely heartbreaking to watch, especially when he was telling Archie about how he thought his dad had changed - well done, Cole Sprouse.

That was my first thought after my initial glee - "Oh, poor Ozzy and Hali!"

I'm so glad I'm not the only one desperately hoping they find a way to bring this version of Ward into the real world - I'll be legitimately sad if he dies in there or is left behind after helping them escape to a world beyond his reach.

Now she's the only Holy Lance once more!

What I love about this show is that the characters are so lovably quirky, so well lived in by the actors, and so known by the writers at this point that they don't have to manufacture drama for it to be entertaining, the plot can have the most mundane setup and they can just set the characters loose.

Here, here. I'd love a time jump where we get to see Cece and Schmidt's kid being raised surrounded by its wacky parents, aunts, uncles, and of course, cousin Furguson.

I also love Lee Pace as her existentially spiraling brother - Wonderfalls is one of me and my brother's all time favorite shows and the bickering yet still really close relationship between Jaye and Aaron is something we really connect to, even thought it's just one of countless elements that make the show great.

I know! Reading this has me itching to drop everything and start a Wonderfalls marathon for the umpteenth time.
Seriously, I don't know a show that I have rewatched more times than Wonderfalls - it's definitely at the top of my all time favorite shows list. It might be tied with a few other shows, but nothing beats it.

Well technically he and his people were trying to kill the heroes for the first part of The Mummy for what he saw as the greater good, but the audience didn't know his motivations so he did come across as a villain initially. But once the mummy was released, he became an ally in the quest to stop it, and by the second

I actually saw The Mummy Returns first before I saw The Mummy, back when I was a teenager, and I developed a pretty instant crush on Ardeth. Imagine my surprise when I then watched The Mummy and he was a mysterious antagonist for at least half the movie! But I think it just made my crush get bigger.
Those movies were

Much as I'm sad we didn't get to see Bud, I've been a nervous wreck every time during the show's run that there seemed even a slight chance he might die, so a small part of me is relieved I didn't have the added trauma of actually witnessing it here, even if it didn't stick. The existing trauma was more than enough.

I've always shipped Olicity and I was thrilled that in the first half of season 4 they were just TOGETHER with very little drama, it was just a background thing most of the time. Once the secret son angst kicked in it was so painful to see what the writers did with them, and I was praying that they'd just get back

I actually couldn't stand how over-the-top and obnoxious (mostly for humor's sake) Donna was as the bride so I groaned when I heard she was going to be a full time companion. But the over-the-top aspects were toned down and I ended up truly loving Donna.

Well, you see, they hadn't made me cry since Doomsday, so they figured they were long overdue.
Yes, I agree objectively that they were perhaps too melodramatic, but subjectively they still wrecked me emotionally.

I unabashedly loved Return of Doctor Mysterio, but then again, I'm still a kid at heart (as well as a huge nerd). It was exactly what I wanted for a Christmas episode of Doctor Who.
But your distinction is a very important one, because too much entertainment gets dismissed as "just for kids."
"Kid's" shows/films in my

I had this same thought the very first time it became apparent he was too powerful to realistically be sustained on this show - send him to Legends, where excuses for people not using their mighty powers are their stock in trade! (And I love them for it)

I'd like to echo your hope for a nonfatal Anatoly redemption arc. I've loved the character since his first appearance and while I really appreciate the plot aspects of it, his descent in darkness also saddens me.
