[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 253259, member: 23"] Oh great. It sounds like we had very similar Season Five epiphanies. This is true. Even now, I'm unsure how much of my frustration or irritation with certain characters was intended by the writers. And Season Five is the one that flipped my thinking around a couple of these (even if I never quite got there with Henry). At the end of Season Five I was able to look back and see a very specific journey for certain characters that felt very planned even though, as you said, some of the stuff this season came out of necessity. That's an interesting parallel. I seem to remember feeling the same way about Sheila's Catholicism when she was with Billy. Her moving in with him seemed so out of character that it makes sense she'd feel conflicted and fall back on what she knows at times of guilt. Season Five made a wholehearted Regina fan out of me, which was a complete surprise given how my heart sank when I saw her return at the beginning of the season. Wow. And yes. I loved how when done well it also enriches what came before it by adding layers. I know I'd feel very differently about characters on a rewatch, based on having explored more of the characters' complexities here. That can probably be said to some extent of most series. But APTCH does it far better than most. [/QUOTE]
