I'm not sure why Lana said a sq goodbye scene wasn’t needed, cause the one we got was a total crap and ofc.
To be honest I think she didn’t understand the question. :)
I believe the fan who made the question (as everyone else on twitter these days…cause c’mon we were ALL disappointed for the Swan Queen goodbye!) was talking about this scene from 7x02:
Emma Henry and Hook say goodbye to each other, and Regina is just standing there, ignored.
She nods to Emma and Emma looks at her, the end.
They’re saying goodbye and there was…nothing. Not an hug, a word, the line between Emma and Henry about Regina was cut…nothing happens.
Lana said Regina didn’t have a goodbye with Snow, Charming, Zelena….but Snow, Charming and Zelena were NOT in this scene. A goodbye was NOT needed. (And that’s why I think Lana didn’t understood the question, no big deal tho).
Emma was here, Emma and Regina are supposedly friends, and if I’m not gonna see a friend for some time I say goodbye, I hug them, I say something. Just standing there doing nothing is not normal.
I don’t care that they filmed on different days, they should have scheduled filming in a different way in order to have Lana and JMO at work on the same day, cause this separation is not…normal.
That said Lana’s answer to the LGBT question was really good and I don’t really care about this one….I assume actors have a different recollection of how a scene was filmed/aired.
I like what Adam said last night about this scene tho, that the characters believe they will meet again and this is NOT a goodbye. It makes me feel a little bit better.
Even if, again, I think a hug was needed. I don’t need to be separated by my friends for years in order to hug them. We’ve been a loyal fanbase for 6 years, was it so difficult to write in a proper goodbye scene?!
