No more Neal/ST, no more us.

Krista_N

I know I couldn't enjoy the show anymore.

BlueDog9

Didn't enjoy it before that.

Krista_N

Season 3 was painful to watch.

BlueDog9

What little of it we did watch, yeah.

Krista_N

I think we watched the first half of the season, didn't we?

BlueDog9

The last episode I watched was the one where Regina sent Emma and Henry to NY while everyone else went back to FTL.

Krista_N

I think that was my last episode too.

BlueDog9

And that was the mid-season finale, right?

Krista_N

Yes, it was. Ater that we'd pretty much given up on things getting better.

I think you guys were hopeful in 3.12. It was the first time I would lurk into thread and I remember speculation of how you felt the end of the series would be Neal, Emma, Henry and possibly more children in the Nc apartment. It wasent until the death spoilers when the tone in this thread changed.

I think the key chain could be painful for her, which is why it's more hidden, where as she still wears Graham shoelace in almost every episode and its still shown. I think the loss still hurts her where as with Graham she's had more closure.

BlueDog9

As strange as it probably sounds, I'm glad it still hurts.

Krista_N

It's only been a short time since Neal died. It wouldn't make any sense if it wouldn't still hurt. But for many years the necklace was a reminder of the man (she thought) betrayed her and sent her to prison. Wearing it must have always been painful.

Things got a lot worse after the death spoiler but I know I wasn't happy with season 3 before that either. It's just that I could ignore the bad stuff as long as there was hope for ST.

BlueDog9

How much time has it been?

It's probably more painful now since she knows the truth and he's dead.

Krista_N

I have no idea but if there hasn't been another time jump, it shouldn't be more than a few months.

I agree that it's more painful now.
