The show is pure cheese, it had a certain appeal in the beginning but it started to take that turn where the bad writing got obvious and I can't even watch it anymore because it just makes me angry. I think a lot of the fandom is bailing, it doesn't seem like it's as big as it was back in season 1.

I wish we could have a good modern fairytale show. Remember the 10th kingdom? I would give anything for a fully fleshed out series like that.

Yeah, the rating are flatlining hard and it makes me sad because I used to love this show. I stubbornly clung to the spinoff and everything.

But S3 was just...

Introducing Frozen is a very desperate attempt to drag in ratings (They're not only brining in Elsa, but also Anna and Kristoff ffs. In most of the other fairytales they've covered they only introduce one person.), and while there might be a spike simply because of how popular Frozen is it's going to nosedive when the writing doesn't improve any.

AYRT. I left after the Peter Pan arc was over, and from everything I've read I'm glad I did because I don't like almost all of the plots happening. I don't often ditch shows but it just felt like a chore to watch and I stopped paying attention to what was going on even when I did watch.

I saw some pictures from their take on Frozen. I know OUAT is Disney... but this feels TOO Disney, like Elsa in that dress that doesn't look regal or like it belongs in any fairy tale. I have no interest in watching it, it feels like it's going to be horrible.

The only reason I stuck around after the Peter Pan arc was because the mid-season finale felt amazing to me. I loved it, even if some parts I didn't give a shit about (like Rumple's really eye-roll worthy death/sacrifice and basically Hook assaulting Emma at the very end.) The Peter Pan stuff dragged on forever and I'm not sure where exactly I lost interest, because normally I love it when characters travel from their usual setting for whatever reason, but I know I threw in the towel when Pan turned out to be Rumple's dad. No thanks.

And yeah, I agree. The show interjecting Frozen into the mix is too obvious a cash cow thing. There are plenty of other fairytales they've already introduced they could focus on, but they picked Frozen of all things? I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to throw Olaf into the mix, even.

I liked the midseason finale too but it also felt like a good place to leave at. I considered picking up again here and there but I kept hearing about what was happening and it made me make the turn to eventually just ditch the series.

I might have picked the series up again if that mid season finale had sparked a major change. Rumple actually dieing permanently (he's the best actor on that show but they've more then overused him) and the series tone changing a lot would have been things I'd want to see.

But the writers aren't as interested in story as they are ratings pandering, so I don't see things getting better.

Rumple staying dead could've been a really interesting thing to work with. But alas, they brought him back and sacrificed Neal as a consequence. Such a disappointment, they could've done so much with Neal.

It's pretty much nighttime soaps at this point. Which is probably why the people I know that watch it like it. They're all into daytime soaps too.
