Hey, read your post. I stopped watching ouat early s3, so only see whats been happening via tumblr. What happened last night? As seen a lot of negative reactions? If you dont mind answering :)
Good for you, really, i’m glad you got out of this mess before the show turned to total shit.
The whole 5a has been so poorly written and so bad in so many ways that i can’t even think about it without getting a headache. There are literally so many plot holes and things that just doesn’t make any sense at this point, but to me, the biggest reason to quit is that they are sending out a very dangerous message by choosing to promote (imo) the most abusive and unhealthy relationship as a “true love”. Basically everything that we were promised in the beginning of season 5 has been nothing but lies. I now feel kinda stupid for believing them, believing that this season would actually make a difference and that the Dark!Swan arc would be about well, Emma. Instead, we got slapped right in the face and were shown that this is really all about H00k. Everything she has done, has been for him. And last night... well, last night was just the last nail in the coffin. There were so many OOC moments for many of the characters, but the most fucked up thing was that Emma spent the whole episode trying to save her family from Dark H00k, and now she’s taking them all to the Underworld with her, to save H00k, who literally tried to kill them all just a couple of minutes before. Like, what the hell is wrong with this show.
So yeah, that’s for me, i’m done. Oh, here’s also the great review from Lily Sparks, if you wanna read more.
