I'm not sure why Lana said a sq goodbye scene wasnāt needed, cause the one we got was a total crap and ofc.
To be honest I think she didnāt understand the question. :)
I believe the fan who made the question (as everyone else on twitter these daysā¦cause cāmon we were ALL disappointed for the Swan Queen goodbye!) was talking about this scene from 7x02:
Emma Henry and Hook say goodbye to each other, and Regina is just standing there, ignored.
She nods to Emma and Emma looks at her, the end.
Theyāre saying goodbye and there wasā¦nothing. Not an hug, a word, the line between Emma and Henry about Regina was cutā¦nothing happens.
Lana said Regina didnāt have a goodbye with Snow, Charming, Zelenaā¦.but Snow, Charming and Zelena were NOT in this scene. A goodbye was NOT needed. (And thatās why I think Lana didnāt understood the question, no big deal tho).
Emma was here, Emma and Regina are supposedly friends, and if Iām not gonna see a friend for some time I say goodbye, I hug them, I say something. Just standing there doing nothing is not normal.
I donāt care that they filmed on different days, they should have scheduled filming in a different way in order to have Lana and JMO at work on the same day, cause this separation is notā¦normal.
That said Lanaās answer to the LGBT question was really good and I donāt really care about this oneā¦.I assume actors have a different recollection of how a scene was filmed/aired.
I like what Adam said last night about this scene tho, that the characters believe they will meet again and this is NOT a goodbye. It makes me feel a little bit better.
Even if, again, I think a hug was needed. I donāt need to be separated by my friends for years in order to hug them. Weāve been a loyal fanbase for 6 years, was it so difficult to write in a proper goodbye scene?!
