No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't care if that's realistic behaviour. It's not entertaining, and it's not endearing. Fuck, I wanted Carl dead. The new world is going to need sensible children. Not dopes like him, acting out.

However, Dale is highly annoying, so not sorry to see him gone. Kind of annoyed that it had to be the noble savage hillbilly that took him out, because our hero didn't actually have the stones for it, but there you go.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Once Upon A Time managed to have an actual happy ending ... sort of.

It seems like the logic fairy is flying further and further away from Storybrooke.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Man, Carl is so fucked-up, and this isn't going to help matters. Dale was super-annoying, but what was more annoying is that he was being annoying while saying sensible things. Who will take the moral high ground with everyone now?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

While the graphic novels have their issues (no pun intended), the further these writers stray from particular character development in the graphic novels, the less I like this series.

If it can be believed, the AMC show is making the people out to be DUMBER than in the graphic novel. How is this possible?

I'm sure it's a role that Lori will be only too happy to step into.

Well it was always pretty far off in the distance. But I could not read what was on Mary Margaret's car. Was it a different epithet than last time? Also I'm trying to figure out why Granny suddenly forgave Mary Margaret. Was there something in the plot we were supposed to notice, or was there absolutely no explanation?

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

I keep wanting Mary Margaret to stand up in the town square and start screaming "I kissed him! I didn't fuck him! No actual clothes came off!!" Not that kissing a married man is all that cool, but why isn't David carrying any of the blame here? And why is she suddenly a town whore for kissing someone?

Is the double standard (maybe made worse by fairytaleland influence) supposed to be a deliberate point? I assumed it was, but may not. And again, given that this is the town's attitude, what changed Granny's mind? I mean the idea of a whole town turning on someone for consensual sexual conduct, if if it had gone past kissing - I assumed was intended to be over the top.
