Wow.

I haven’t seen seen Sunday’s episode but I could tell something monumentally bad had happened from an icon change, and I couldn’t wait until Wednesday to find out what. So I’ve seen next weeks promo and read a summary and there are no words.

I felt a few times in season five, that I’d slipped into an alternate reality because nothing made sense. This goes beyond that. This show hasn’t just gone off the rails, it’s unrecognizable. I’m still going to watch Sunday’s episode for myself on Wednesday, and I’ll still try and search for ways to explain it that are consistent with the characters. I don’t know if I’ll have any hope to offer but I’ll try my best.

Headcanon can fix a lot of things but to quote Rumple himself “some things can’t be undone” and while I’m still positive that Rumbelle will reunite because a) they are an iconic Disney couple, b) the movie next year. I don’t know how they are going to do that right now with any integrity. I’m concerned that it’ll just be forced march plotting again, and all of this will just be pushed under the rug. No consequences, nothing will make sense.

Anyway …

If nothing else, we control our fix-it fics. I’ll be updating mine tomorrow 🙂
