Haha! Well alright then! I actually always liked Henry; I dug his tiny but monumentally pivotal role in starting the story. "Limited" is an excellent & duly kind choice for the current actor; re-casting an older Henry is not a bad idea. And the cat they chose to play him - Andrew J. West - seems like a good choice, at…

Oh man, disagree. I'm the complete opposite. I think the Charmings are fine, they've become completely benign in the past season & a half anyways. They don't bother me one way or the other. But Emma has nearly destroyed the show for me. So the fact that she'll be gone is a fine selling point for me. I just don't want…

Not sure if I'll watch S7, but I'm terribly intrigued that they get the original villains. There might be something in that.

You jumped off two seasons ago….lucky you! No you're right, about the beginning of the show & how they started the story. But while Emma was the catalyst for the story/ies- she broke the curse & started all of their stories again - I thought they should have continued with the ensemble vibe they established. That's…

Me too, me too! I loved this show. But once they started recycling the same stories it just got so boring, and it seemed as though a majority of the time the writers forgot what came before - with the characters, story history, and the very foundation of the world they created. Damnit!

I think you addressed your own concerns. Emma truly is bland and utterly superfluous. So they should do it up. Start having some fun with the strong characters they retained. They've been talking for weeks how a possible S7 would go in a completely different direction, with an entirely new feel. Taking away Hook's…

Agree with James Attwood - it's not spreading hate if they're discussing facts about the program. When folks don't agree with the comments, maybe they view it as "spreading hate". But really, it is what it is. Sometimes we just don't like it. Also, not everyone loves the show. OUAT has lost a huge percentage of their…

Ego. Ego prevents them from doing that. It'd be a sign of weakness amid the remaining networks. And they're all already hemorrhaging, thanks to stronger programming from an increasing number of cable networks. And now they have to compete with original programming from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc. The once TV giants…

"Creatively bankrupt for ages", HA! It's hilarious (and a little sad) because it's true. This is great, thank you! So great…..

Oh man, this is a groovy idea but alas would never work. So it's Emma, but she looks like a different person (different actress)? Is that correct? This would raise far too many complications that, as they've demonstrated ad nauseam, this show would tie themselves and us in knots over trying to work out. Far, far too…

I never watched Vampire Diaries, but I earnestly agree with your OUAT comments. They started losing me in S4. I kept watching because, for such an original show & one I came to love watching S1-3, I wanted to believe it would "get good" again. I didn't want to give up.

Sure it was. Lol. Nah, that was Emma being petulant.

"For their son" is a great reason to try to be better parents & better people. I agree that they started to develop a friendship & trust. But because they forced it, "for their son", it didn't happen organically. Instead they made incredibly slow progress, so forced & riddled with tension. They struggled to get to a…

Yeah I didn't have any issues with her acting except for S5. Even then, no issues with her skills, just confusion as to what she was going for. Whatever it was it didn't land for me.

I dig how we all see things so differently. I didn't see the same chemistry you saw, between Regina & Emma. To the contrary, I got the impression Emma didn't really like Regina much at all. I think they became friendlier as the seasons went by, but not to the level you saw.

This all makes sense. But then why wait until the final hour? Why wait until just-moments-before the announcement comes down to cancel or renew? And wasn't she talking just 4-5 weeks ago about wanting to come back, that she loves this character but was waiting on ABC's decision? What you say makes sense, except the…

Yup, you're right on! The problem? A&E lack the creative tenacity to go the distance. This team is a 3 season machine. With Lost & now OUAT, hopefully everyone will realize it. Random & occasional flashes can't maintain the bulk of an audience. Disagree about one more year - all of their good stuff is in the rear view.

Agree with you sfbufs. Not trying to be a jerk, but maybe don't read the reviews where you don't agree with the tone set by the reviewer? And skip the comments. It'd save you a little heartache for sure.

This is great - thanks! Sadly, I agree that's Emma is the main character. And even though that's true, what I dug about S1-3 was it maintained an ensemble feel. Yes, she's the lead, but those early seasons did a stellar job of showcasing all of the characters, building their origins & giving us glimpses into what made…

Yup. Stop after S3. It's for sure pretty awful after that. Good luck.
