the reason they introduced the taser as Tamara's weapon-of-choice was so that she would use it on August later and it would be mostly ineffective, because wood isn't a good conductor of electricity. But no - this damn taser up and killed a magical dragon guy and a man made of animated wood?

A bit more up and down. There are some quite good episodes, particularly recently, but there's also a lot of bad ones strewn throughout. And they can be REALLY bad
The show has its share of good moments but they're padded by tons of filler and incredibly cheesy material. When I saw the preview for next week's episode and how it's ANOTHER god damned Snow White versus Regina episode, I groaned. I think every single moment of those characters' lives will have been on screen after next week.

I think I stopped being as interested in this show when I realized 3/4 of the episodes are about Snow/Charming/Regina/Rumple. I understand they're the "main" characters but they have a whole universe of fairy tales to cover and quite frankly the lesser characters are more interesting at this point. They've dipped in the main well so often I doubt they have any stories left.
They should just make a sitcom spinoff where Rumple, the Mad Hatter, Hook, wooden August, and a normal guy from the real world share an apartment and unsuccessfully try to pick up a mixture of fairytale and real world chicks. Hilarity ensues.
I just absolutely hate it now, but I still watch for some reason.
I know alot of people that stopped watching because nothing good ever happens anymore.
They're really setting up the finale to be interesting, but seriously, how many more Regina/Snow White flashbacks can they wring out of the two of them? I'm pretty sure their whole history is told now. Let's see some other characters!

I hope they shake up the "flashbacks" format for next season. I'm sure some of them will get to the Enchanted Forest (again) or Neverland or something. So we could have present Storybrooke/Present Magic Land...
Or maybe travel back to the past, do whatever they want. The Storybrooke flashback is one of my favorite episodes of the show.
It was ok. The flashback wasn't anything new, and Regina's idiocy is eyerollingly bad. Why do they have to make her so dumb? Rumple tells her nobody will recognize her and she won't have magic when she transforms. Not only does she claim to be the queen while under disguise, but tries to use magic twice. And her inability to understand why Henry the terrible actor would be upset if she killed everyone? I swear she wasn't this dumb when the show started.
As for Greg and Tamara, it's really hard to buy them as a threat. I think the whole deus ex machina with the wristband stopping magic would have been better if they established the science stopping magic thing earlier, like in the Frankenstein episode maybe.
Also was surprised the CGI for Maleficent wasn't as bad as it tends to be on the show
NOOOOOOoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! THEY KILLED BAE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'(
MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved the episode even if it was slightly predictable. Gold is gonna be pissed off now
STUPID TAMARA!!!! AND THAT OTHER GUY TOO!!!! WHO CARES ABOUT YOUR FUCKING FATHER, HE'D PROBABLY BE 90 YEARS OLD OR DEAD BY NOW ANYWAY!!!!! BOO MOTHERFUCKING HOO!!!!!
There's no way he's actually dead. At some point, possibly in a flashback, we're going to see where he landed and find that he happened to land near a wizard who healed him or something.
Also apparently magical beings are weak to electricity - "This is how we take care of your kind" - so I guess that explains the tasers.

I feel like if he was actually dead, there wouldn't be much of a point to the fairytale flashback that shows him meeting Hook. You'd think that would come into play at some point. I kind of wish they had made a point of developing this mysterious group that's apparently worldwide that wants to get rid of magic. That probably could have added more intrigue to this season, or at least make it look like all the Greg+Tamara shit isn't coming out of left field. Decent episode though overall.
so will they wrap up this boy looking for father storyline before the end of this series it seems rather boring and lackluster acted poorly and written terribly

What I want to know is why Bae didn't recognize Hook when he attacked them in New York, if he'd hung out with him before. Or did he and I'm just misremembering?

All signs point to them ending this particular storyline in the finale, although I'm fairly certain the "Home Office" will come into play in future seasons (if we get them).

This show has gotten so bad. I'm so tired of these constantly unexplainable plot devices. A bracelet that inexplicably suppresses magic but can inexplicably be removed as easily as it's put on. This failsafe diamond that destroys the curse that Regina magically had available when necessary, even though in season 1 she wanted the curse to end and had to grovel to Mr. Gold for a solution. The mystery organization that knows exactly what magical properties are unleashed for whatever item they're sent. Tamara not shooting Bae even though they've established all season she's never cared for him one bit but suddenly now she has some humanity? Also, the fact that she knows that magic beans are suddenly activated when you toss them on the floor. Bae never mentioning that the portal will conveniently take you where you want to go so long as you have the sentiment in you. I mean, sure, he was injured, but he couldn't mention that he knows what he's doing in some capacity?
I'll probably watch the season finale just because I'm completionist, but now that Game of Thrones is back on, I can't muster myself enough effort to waste any future hours on this show since it's been downhill since season 2's start.
I find it funny how this show, which is blatantly a rip off of Fables, picks up a storyline that Bill Willingham couldn't do for legal reasons at the time.
It just felt sort of "meh" to me... Still can't wait for the next season... Neverland: HERE WE GO!!!!
Though I have to admitt I'm intrigued about this whole "Peter Pan is looking for Henry" thing... Actually... Who is (the boss) looking for him? Peter Pan's shadow? SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!???
There's no way he's actually dead. At some point, possibly in a flashback, we're going to see where he landed and find that he happened to land near a wizard who healed him or something.
My favorite part was prince charming punching hook in the face.
Hopefully the ending implies we'll get less Henry next season.
yeah right
I know dude is just a kid, but he's a horrible actor. I do like the setup with the characters on the boat, as I quite like hook and rumple. There'll be some fun interactions there.
What was the deal with Mulan having that mask covering her face? Could they not get the right actress on and just picked a random asian, cut her lines, and covered her up? Thought that was a bit weird. Not as interested in that half of the story. Also, I hope we get less storybrooke. The less they jump between twenty different stories the better.

Ah I hadn't even remembered. Still though. I agree with you, though I think I kind of preferred that part of the season over the latter half. Seems like so long ago though, so it's possible I'm just forgetting if it was terrible.
Are we even gonna see Storybrooke much next season? I mean all the main characters left on the ship. The only regulars still in Storybrooke are Red, whose actress is on another show now (hell, she wasn't even in the finale), and Belle, who's not so much a character as a plot device for Rumple.
I really hope we don't have to deal with so much flippity floppity good or evil stuff with Rumple and Regina next season now that we have several bigger bads.
Oh, and was that Phillip with Mulan and Aurora? When did they bring him back? I don't even remember.
The finale was the culmination of a season that had no idea what it's doing and just sort of meandering. The Belle-saving potion out of nowhere, the "we don't know where Tamara and Greg are" "I do" Oh hey they're at the exact same place they were LAST EPISODE. The sudden reappearance of Aurora and Mulan after dropping them for the entire second half of the season.
But much like Lost, with the whole Neverland and Peter Pan plot it seems like they're actually trying to go somewhere and have an idea, so I'll be back next season and hope they get their act together. Moving the main cast to Neverland was a good idea, I think we've gotten all the mileage out of Storybrooke we can for now.
When we last saw Mulan and Aurora, Mulan said something about Cora telling her a way to bring Phillip back or save him from the wraith or he wasn't really dead or something or other and that's what they set off to do. Unfortunately we never actually saw them do it in favor of lots of Snow White/Regina/Rumplestiltskin flashbacks. Maybe it'll be a flashback next season.
I'm calling it now. Next season Henry will become "the dark one" to fight Peter Pan in the finale. In doing so, he fufills the profecy of being Rumples downfall or whatever.
I really dislike Henry.
I'm also calling that Emma will make a peanut butter joke about Peter Pan.
With the mermaid hint in the final im hoping for Ariel next season.
hope the mermaids are the crazy killer kind like they were in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Season 3 has started and it's off to a good start. Should we continue in this thread and rename it or is anyone else willing to create a separate thread?
