In this universe, why is it hard to believe that Blackbeard stumbled upon other realms in the course of his travels?

Strangely, my only visceral reaction was annoyance that Huck ripped her tights. You could just pull them off, man…

I agree! Now that they went there, I don't see how it could NOT take out anyone in its blast radius.
It would be very implausible if any character realized what Cyrus was up to and managed to swoop in and save everyone.
I would not miss Sally, Andrew or Leo. Cyrus's actions were terrible, but now that events have been…

Also, they are separated. Nobody seems to acknowledge that happened.

"I’ve watched enough television to know that you don’t let characters get this happy before pulling the rug out from under them."

It was Mellie's idea to have a third kid. It was a scheme devised to drive up approval ratings. They slept together however many times it took for Mellie to get pregnant and that was it. And I doubt either of them enjoyed it.

And not even questioning the motorcycle.

But not before Max takes a few snapshots.

My thoughts immediately went to Crosby and the behavioral aide when I saw the promo.

Perhaps I phrased it ineffectively. What I really mean is that a man should feel free to console another man in whatever way feels natural to him in that moment, regardless of what that is.

I'm pretty sure they were done, even though they hadn't directly said it.
Between him losing it b/c she put the brakes on and then losing it again after Bay tried to have an honest conversation with him and storming (well, hopping) out of the car.

It's funny—my brother is just a bit older than Toby, and he's a sweet guy, and I think sometimes he'd prefer it if my dad acted the way John did, rather than acting like a tough guy.

I was initially suprised that he called him "honey," but that wore off.

I had to rewind it—at first I couldn't tell what it was. From Emmett's reaction I thought it was a snake. Then when it dawned on me, I was thinking "that might be too on-the-nose…"

I was more disappointed in the fact that Snow didn't appreciate his argument that they've been hoodwinked by people before. Instead, she-of-the-continually-declining-maternal-instincts was convinced by the fact that Zelena claimed to know her old nanny. They could have (dis)proved that by digging a little deeper.

Yep—I had the same thought about Zelena's name. She doesn't need a new identity because she made them all forget anything they know about her.

So true! In the scene when Rapunzel was reunited with her parents, Snow had some seriously scary 70's Farrah Fawcett hair gone horribly awry. I wasn't sure if I was frightened or ashamed.

I think any kid would get the idea that they could just push their way through/manhandle anyone they wanted if they were never told no.

I don't have too much to add here, although I do feel that a) it's natural for Mary Beth to not want to associate with Tank and b) that while the severity of their actions may be different, both Tank and Ty are cowards. They do what's easiest for them without regard for how it affects and/or hurts others.

How do you know it wasn't a camera woman? ;)
