It's supposedly been 6 weeks since the end of 4.11 (when Belle threw Rumple out).

Exactly! Ugh it pisses me off that even when Belle is not with Rumple, she is STILL only a plot device for his manpain. She can't even have a relationship for herself, but only to give him another thing to plan on messing up

Amen. None of them care about Belle at all.

I don't think they're going to kill him. The writers said they're hoping to bring Ana in at some point, so she'll probably show up and Will will dump Belle (poor baby can't catch a break, but I'll pass on having yet another love triangle on the show so idk).

Actually, except for the diehard Rumbelle shippers whose opinions of the show I don't take seriously anyways, the responses have been mainly positive (from what I've seen). Some are confused because they think it's out of nowhere, which I understand, and some are Will/Ana shippers who are upset because they want to know where Ana is, which I also understand. But even a lot of those people say Will/Belle seems cute "for now".

I was actually kind of surprised when Belle and Will kissed. I must have missed something when they got close? Did I miss something? I feel like I missed something!

The part of her threatening them that she would turn them into toads is hilarious.

Giana

Not sure if these should be here or in the picture thread. They're from the show so I'll put them here. Stills from the next episode. They're in a set.



Look at that OT3 in the bottom right

Mone

Signed.

You didn't. This is how the writers roll. (Belle. must. be. kept. off. screen.)

Yes, yes, yes! Make that OT4 because I really like whatever it is on the plate.

Dying at the still of Spoiler and Spoiler sitting shoulder to shoulder.



Give me all the snarky oneliners, the funny banter and the romantic slapstick; I am tired of the angst.

LilMouse

ooohhhhh. That makes more sense.

I hope they don't kill Will. Maybe they won't because they hardly ever kill mains. And Will was my favorite in OUATIW. I want him/Ana/Belle to escape SB together.

Good! Because I get the feeling that if A&E got a lot of "eww Will/Belle suck" messages they'd drop the romance very quickly since they always do what fans want and don't have enough of a backbone to tell a good story.

Can Hook have a "what are your intentions?" moment with Belle/Will?

Giana

They're going to end it pretty quickly regardless, because everyone knows it's not going to last.

I wish but I think he's there to ask Belle whatever favor he needs from her. It would be nice if she told him to shut up and go away though.

ETA- Whoooaa:

LilMouse

it's so hard to get invested in anything on this show when you know by the end of the arc villains (who aren't rumpel, regina) will be defeated and couples who aren't snowing, captain swan or rumbelle will break up

Jazz

I didn't miss anything? They just happened to fall together even though we rarely saw have scenes together to lead to this? ARGH.

LilMouse

we just have to accept 6 weeks went by and they got buddy buddy in those 6 weeks.

I prefer to see what happened during those 6 weeks over being surprised by their hookup. More people would jump on board the ship, I think, if they could see the beginning.

Giana

Maybe things will be cleared up as the episodes go on? They could talk about it.

Jazz

I hate when they have that kind of time lapse and something significant happened but it feels like you have been robbed!

LilMouse

Me too. Time lapses are the worst.

Giana

Well, the writers did an interview today where they said this:
Cue scene with lots of dialogue and exposition.

They also said we will NOT be seeing her mom again this season

LilMouse

I knew it. They don't have time to show Belle/Will stuff and they probably don't care to.

Jazz

We will hear how. It might be a short sentence how. In passing.
