Again, I'm going with a more "wait and see" approach on this. I still feel like Emma is their "avoid spoilers" plot at this moment and that's why they always talk about her in the media. Not to mention that those who do not follow spoilers are easier to soothe by interviews that focus on "what's up with Emma's darkness?" rather than "What is the true happiness that Regina has to find? Is it Robin? Is it her son? Or is it something more like inside her?" Regina's story is deeper and has a more profound meaning and has been so even from 4A, albeit her limited screentime (yeah, thanks Frozen ). Emma's not so much. And besides, Lana and Jared filmed their asses off for the finale, probably filmed more than any other cast member, so I am not going to give up on the notion that Regina is hugely involved in the two parter. One more Emma movie is not what I signed for in 4B.
Lily is definitely here to serve Emma's story and it's funny cause if they need external factors to give her a proper story then... what the heck are they going to do in the future? Bring two dozen new characters in Storybrooke to move hers ahead? Even if she tries to have the book rewritten to correct her parents mistake, we all know that the amount of days Agnes filmed for the two final episodes are probably counted in one hand, so... Whatever the case, __________________

Idk, i also think it's easy to talk about Emma because she has a very weak story. AnE hate spoilers so they always talk less about other characters because Rumple, Regina, even Snowing have interesting, complex stories this season and they can't reveal anything. Emma is like their cop out girl, they always give her more screen time but her character made the least progress and there was very little character growth.
I don't even care what this finale is about, i just need more Regina, Robin and OQ, and some Regal Believer and i'm happy. I suspect Emma will have a chance at changing the past and she will screw something up, i still think it will be Henry who will travel to this AU, he will find Regina and they will fix it together. Why would they film for 2 weeks together if it's all about Emma? I'm pretty sure Emma will be dark in this AU, as well as Snowing. I think OQ, Rumple and Henry will be "heroes" and they will have to make right decisions. __________________

Exactly! Even Rumple's story is so interesting this season, yet they rarely talk about him!! Add that to the fact that Bobby never gives interviews or does any press, it looks like he doesn't have anything to do this year, yet he is the one who moves all the puppet strings in the entire season! Go ahead and talk all about Emma if you want, we know who has the good stuff!

Lol yeah. I'd rather get interesting sl than ton of screen time.
And i'm pretty sure GA is really into Robin's story and OQ and Rumbelle because they have been separated. Also Operation Mongoose and Marian/Zelena, people will be shocked about that one, i think 4x17 will be very well received, as well as 4x19. Fans want entertainment and that's what Rumple/Regina give them. __________________

I don't know. The rest of the characters can have all the potential they want but if they are rarely being shown or merely are there to serve pushing all the plot points in one character's favor {aka. Emma}, with the lucky exception of maybe one centric, that just becomes ... Boring! Unless that one character, in this case Emma, happens to be your favorite character. When they do that to the others, it feels like their side stories get rushed, not developed.
Regina and Henry likely filmed to help save dark!AU Emma or something. Once again, about Emma. Hey, if I am wrong, great but the more I read and hear, the more I see onscreen, the less optimistic I just feel. I just want one freaking story that centers around another lead and have it remain their story to its conclusion in the arc. Is that too much to ask? I mean the road trip? I do think Robin is the side story and the main focus Lily. Why else would they title the episode 'Lily' rather than 'Robin'? Just my take on it. Anyway, not trying to rain on anyone's parade of hope or anything so like I said, I will just be in and out. This episode there will hopefully be some actual good things to discuss after it airs. __________________

Chris - Oh Robin is definitely in the next season, so it's probably about him becoming a regular, yeah.

I guess they ignored Emma's backstory for so long that now they want to make up for it. The only thing i'm bothered about is Operation Mongoose and how that is going. I want more Regina/Henry involved in that. It feels like this sl is about all of them again, not just about Regina's happiness. I felt like it was supposed to be Regina/Henry to talk to him first, not Emma or Rumple or Snowing or anyone else. I hate when Regina gets her own sl and then it ends up being focused on someone else. __________________

I disagree strongly with that interpretation. The Zelena| Regina arc turned into Zelena going after Emma rather than Regina in SB, it became about Zelena going after Henry because of EMMA, not Regina. It became about Zelena going after EMMA'S light magic. Regina got her few moments to shine, thank god, with breaking the curse and using light magic against Zelena. Still - it is an example of an arc starting out about Regina and turning into an arc that targets Emma. I see the Operation Mongoose arc following the same path.
S1 and S2 were still about Emma as the Savior but it was just balanced better because at this time Regina was the villain and then the redeeming villain. Regina was the antagonist to Emma's, and Snow's, protagonist. So of course Regina got good focus along with the other two. My complaints are focused on 3b forward though all of season 4. I see the trend continuing. So I can say the plot points are going to Emma as the Savior over and over again because they are. I was not a huge fan of the Neverland arc but at least the stories were a bit more spread out. I mainly liked the Regina & Henry stuff and Neal grew on me. But seeing a lot of a character is not the same as having a story that is theirs to follow along with, in my opinion. Sorry, I just want more than that but I know the chances of getting it are slim to none. Every story is going to come back to reinventions of Emma as the Savior even though she broke the curse back in S1 but whatever. Anyway, peace out. Do not really feel that comfortable posting since I just do not feel the optimisim at this point. Happy posting! I am sure this upcoming episode will be interesting. __________________

I respect your opinion and you can post and be pessimistic as much as you want here. Remember how many times i was pessimistic? God i'm more pessimistic than optimistic about this show. I just want to make you feel better and sorry if it came of like i was forcing my opinion on you.

I really don't know what to expect from the finale, so I'm going to just try to focus on the the episodes leading up to it. I'm very excited about 4.17 and 4.20, I'm interested in 4.18 because I'm kind of expecting a Regina/Cruella confrontation, but I don't have much to say about 4.19 other than I'm likely going to yell at my TV every time Regina and Emma are delayed in getting to Robin because of Lily. Robin should be their priority, Zelena is all kinds of crazy and can use magic. Lily has been living in this world 30 years, she can survive a few more days, they can pick her up on the way back.

Ok guys, I'm chill now. I'm good, not worried. Thank you. As for Sean's comment in the LA Times article (can you believe we got another interview even??!!?? ) - I am totally convinced his "sit down with the guys" as about Robin being a regular on the show. I doubt they bother sitting down and talking with you just to say they aren't using your character anymore. |
