Why Apple Geniuses sometimes tell people to kill all their apps
A little over a year ago I wrote a rather controversial editorial stating that iOS users don't ever need to kill all the apps in their multitasking dock (fast app switcher). A couple of months ago the subject was brought back to the spotlight, with other developers and bloggers reaching pretty much the same conclusion.
It remains true. There's no need to regularly "clear out" all the apps in your multitasking dock. We've said it, other developers and bloggers have said it, even Apple has said it.
But here's the thing -- sometimes Apple Geniuses will tell users to do just that. Which is what makes it controversial. Here's why:
Trouble-shooting is sometimes a slow, complicated process.
If a customer comes to the Genius Bar with one poorly coded app or rogue process that's continuously slowing down their iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, or causing massive battery drain, figuring out which app it is, and fixing it, can take a lot of time and effort. It can involve buying system monitoring apps, rebooting a lot, launching apps, testing, checking system status, killing apps, rebooting, deleting apps, reinstalling apps, etc. etc. It can involve a lot of things that some Apple Geniuses believe mainstream, non-technical users will have trouble understanding and doing.
It flies against Apple's recommendation, it flies in the face of best trouble-shooting practices, and it makes advanced users cringe, but...
Killing everything, in that specific case, for mainstream users, is the fastest, easiest path to problem resolution.
So if a Genius tells your mom to kill all her apps every day or week, that's why.
It's wrong. It's unnecessary, and you can certainly take the time to properly Unless you want to take them time to trouble shoot it for them.
There are 87 comments. Add yours.
It's almost never a bad idea to start fresh, with no partially open anythings to cause any troubles.
Every now and then(usually once a month), I do hard reboots on my iPhone, iPad and PC, after being kept on and in sleep for a while.
everytime i've been to the genius bar they tell me to, so...
I've been doing this since I've had my 4 and now 4S. It doesn't hurt, so...
I do it every night. I find that sometimes when alot of apps are open, the phone slows down a bit. I sometimes believe it causes your battery to drain faster but that's just my opinion.
I agree 100%.
another !00% from me. Phone definitely slows down when apps run in the background. SBSettings essentially proves as much. Just look at the available memory after you close the apps
Agreed SBSettings is great for monitoring your available RAM, freeing up memory, and closing all apps quickly.
This is a case of too much knowledge leading you astray. The amount of free memory is irrelevant in iOS because the OS manages memory availability automatically. If an app needs memory, older apps are warned to give some back such as by clearing cached data. If that doesn't free enough memory, the app is killed. So, only a few apps are really using memory at once.
I, too, close everything each night. Why leave everything open if it's not being used? There was once a good process killer but it got neutered.
How do you know what's in the list because it's running vs. what's there just because it's launched recently? So, what, dou you end up removing them all, every night? That's madness.
I have to kill email app once or twice a day. For some reason I stop receiving emails and killing the app gets it working again. I'm using Exchange active sync push. To be fair I also had this problem with 3 different windows phones.
How do you know what's in the list because it's running vs. what's there just because it's launched recently? So, what, dou you end up removing them all, every night? That's madness.
if it was lanced recently, it is still running. back in iOS 3.0 days, they did not have multitasking capabilities. Now, we have multitasking, which is what the bar is for. All apps in the bar ar running at all times, for quick and easy access, otherwise, the system would have to restart apps all the time, including iMessage and apple apps, making it harder to do minutely tasks.
Sorry but this simply is not true. Some apps are still running, and some are in a frozen state until launched again, and some are simply there because they were recently launched (but aren't running currently.) Their presence in that list simply means they were launched recently. It does NOT mean they are all running.
Sometimes you have to quit one app if it's acting up but i never had to quit all apps. It's a waste of time.
Rene's argument for killing all apps is that often one doesn't know exactly which app is making the device wonky - easiest just to kill 'em all. Apple ought to add this function to iOS 6.
I clear my apps when i finish using them. it doesn't take long to do. I find my phone slows down and my battery drains quicker if i leave them in the switcher. games like cod black ops zombies requires you to close all apps from the switcher which suggests to me that they still use up memory.
I'm not sure how you came to the conclusion you don't need to quit apps. Try keeping an eye on your location icon - several apps use the GPS or internet in the background and the only, only, only way to stop them is to force quit the App. Some very popular examples are NAVIGON and TuneinRadio.
And it can be very embarrassing to leave your phone on, in a broadway production, when TomTom chirps up and says "turn right." Yes, it happened to me. ALWAYS force off your navigation software :)
LOL! Similar think happened to me. I usually turn off Navigon when I get to the end of the trip. I was going to a wedding and saw a friend as I was entering the parking lot so I parked and hurried over to walk in with him.....and forgot to turn off the volume and app. Luckily, as I was walking into the building, the app recognized where I was and announced "You have reached your destination!" Several people turned to look. I was so glad it happened at the door rather than during the vows.
Well, yeah, obviously XD Apple, devs, and various other people have said just that... it's never been that you don't have to close ANY apps. Ever. It's always been that you don't have to close most of them. The ones that run in the background, like navigation, exercising, or music apps need to be closed when you're finished with them, obviously. But the rest of the apps don't actually run in the background, they are just essentially paused -- meaning you don't need to close them. Unless it has a problem, of course. But pending any issues, leaving it "running" is fine (because it's not running at all).
Well if it's obvious you do, why write and article saying you don't need to and claiming that Apple said you don't and developers say you don't? And then follow it up with an article saying you should but I was still right and you don't need to. I think Rene just screwed-up and doesn't want to come clean and admit that it is actually good practice to do it and Apple should make it easier with a kill-all icon.
Navigon has an option to "Stop Navigating", then when you exit the app you'll see the location icon go off, no need to kill the app.
Same thing with TuneIn Radio, press the Stop button and you'll find that it stops streaming (funny that eh...)
I never shut down any of my apps unless I need to force quit one because it's doing something funky (like Facebook), but 99% of all apps are well behaved and do what they're supposed to (i.e. suspend and free memory if needed).
The argument of "kill all" is as bad as the old IT "switch it off and on again". Lazy mans excuse for not diagnosing the problem properly.
I've never understood the "controversy". I don't care what anyone - a blogger, Apple, or anyone else has to say - anyone that uses one knows once in awhile, it's necessary. Especially with certain apps.
It's ludicrous to think that having 50+ things hanging out in a suspended state isn't costing some system resources somewhere.
This is one of those "stuck in the mud" Apple things. There is no reason they cannot include a little button there to clear out all apps in one stroke, except for some reason they want you to believe you don't have to, so why would they give you a tool to do so?
It's these things that keep Apple from being a truly great company. They are amazingly, astonishingly profitable, but they don't seem to care for the actual user themselves. They want you to use it the way they want, and even if it is smarter/more convenient/just more desirable to do something another way, they don't budge. Micro-SD card, anyone?
Many of those "50+ things" are NOT in a suspended state, they're just listed there because they were recently launched.
I have regularly cleaned out my apps. I agree that having 10 or 50 apps in suspended animation slows it down a LOT....
I have no idea whether this is accurate or not, but I have an apps which shows my free memory. Before I clean out I am generally sitting at about 20-50mb of free memory. (As I type this, I have 27mb free and 477mb used).
Closing out all the apps (only 8 this morning) raised that to 250mb free and 254mb used. And it runs a LOT faster - no perception about it.
I for one am a sceptic about all the bloggers etc who say it makes NO difference....
"Free Memory" is wasted memory. What's the point in having it if it's not being utilised?
If the system needs it, it'll force quit an app as necessary to free some up. Peoples obsession with how much "free memory" they have comes from bad advice.
Funny that if i leave my apps open and not clear them my phone runs out of memory and guess what it doesn't automatically force quit apps and instead freezes and goes non responsive until i hold the power button and the home button at the same time to reboot the phone.
I've had occasions when I've forgotten to clear & the App Store won't show the "Update All" key. Once I clear, I can update.
I find that killing apps is a must for things that drain battery like Slacker, maps, and MyWi even after you shut everything else down inside the app. Ive never suffered laggy performance but oooooohhhhhh the battery drain. My iPhone is my work phone so I keep things like the phone, calendar, and email ready on the app switcher at all times. And I don't care what anyone says, a quick reboot never hurts either.
If you are going to record a song via garage band, or other music recording app, it is a good idea to shut down the apps to stop unwanted noise.
I never close them in the new iPad <3, but my 1 year old iphone 4's battery have been descreasing fast so, the best way to do it is: jailbroken > cydia > remove background app > activator > activate in homescreen, Icon spread/icon pinch. and whenever you feel like it, works like magic.
I always do it because I don't need a bunch of apps running that I'm not actively using. Can't Apple just devise a way to kill apps that aren't actively in use?
They AREN'T running.
But they ARE using system resources.
And such a tiny amount you could have a hundreds of them "running" in the background and never see a real performance difference. Anyone saying they can see the difference are buying into the placebo affect.
Some of u apple fan boys are just ridiculous. You need to get rid of some unused apps. There is performance issues if u don't unless u r telling me that my iPhone is suppose to run like crap.
If those resources are needed then they're released by the OS. If they aren't needed then it makes no difference if they're being used does it?
It's a pain to do it after a week as you might have 30-40 apps already in there. You have to manually close each one. Unless someone have a different method on the Ipad, please let me know. Otherwise, turn off and then on again.
i can close 2-3 at a time, which saves some time. but i agree a one button does all solution would be great. maybe we'll see something of the likes around iOS 7?
How do you know what's in the list because it's running vs. what's there just because it's launched recently? So, what, dou you end up removing them all, every night? That's madness.
1st IT troubleshooting law: restart your system. Rings a bell?
I remember that article and it drove me nuts that you were so insistent that it never needed to be done. Thanks for the update.
He's STILL saying that it never needs to be done, if only you'd read more closely you'd see this. And I agree with him.
Sometimes, a quick restart can save you the trouble of quitting those apps. They still linger in your multi-tasking tray but rest assured that they are killed.
I have found when an individual app is not loading correctly or having errors. I just go to the app switcher and quit that app and it solves the problem by making the app reboot fresh. This is like a computer programmer friend of mine said sometimes you need to blow up the pond and pick up the fish. It isn't going to kill anyone to kill apps.
Sometimes the audible app won't play the books. I have to either kill the app or turn the phone off and on again. I also have some older games that aren't available anymore (not made for iOS 5) which need to be killed once in a while. Elf Defence and draw something also seem to have a conflict which requires a restart to fix. Otherwise I don't bother to stop apps or restart, only when there is a conflict.
Why isn't this tested for during the app submitting process. ?
Isn't it funny how everyone here says that they need to kill all running apps for one reason or another, yet we keep being told we shouldn't...personally I find that when I kill all the apps on my iPad, Safari then keeps all my tabbed pages 'open' ie it doesn't need to reload the page when I switch back and forth. Plus it does seem to make things run smoother - so if there's proof of why we should kill all the apps...why do we keep getting told not to!?
Your experience with safari is due to the fact that it stays open while u r switching back and for. So do 90% of the apps u keep open when you switch back and forth. Hence the need to occasionally close them. Now one thing I have notice about safari is that if u leave it open for an extended amount of time it will suspend it self and when u switch to it, it will have to reload the pages on the open tabs
I just experimented a little...so I have 7 tabs currently on Safari, and I had some apps running in the background - when I switched to another tab it had to load the page. When I switched back again it had to load the page again, and so on and so on.
I then closed all running apps, came back to Safari, and now when I switch between tabs it loads the page once, then it's able to remember without reloading each time. So it DEFINITELY makes a difference...albeit a very minor one. This is on my iPad 1, I'm sure there wouldn't be any difference on my iPhone 4s...
Right. There's a performance benefit believe me... Killing all apps before resetting is also more effective plus GPS apps that have been opened are not sitting idly (sp?) by when closed.
I never listen to websites. I've always shut apps down. Why I could leave me phone sitting around with apps in the dock and would notice my battery would drop. And mind you the phone not being use no surfing or texting or calls. Just the apps in the dock.
I only what I see not what some sites try to tell me..
I love the "it's a waste of time" argument. Come on, really? 20 seconds max maybe? I close them out regularly and I've never missed an scheduled event/appointment because of it. Guess I should be careful though. :)
So everyone but the end user says you have no need to force-quit all your apps? I love it when people try and tell you categorically that their way is right.
LOL! Is this ever the Eat-Crow-ingst blog post I've ever seen! Kudos, Rene for owning up to it!
For those who jailbreak, I end up swiping the status bar for SBSettings to pop up and I hit RemoveBG many a time, usually before and after playing a game like Infinity Blade or some other resource hog.
I don't usually close all my apps, usually about once a day on my iPhone 4S, on my iPad 2 its almost never.
Sometimes I feel that the argument that "iOS users don't ever need to kill all the apps in their multitasking dock" is just a forceful way to avoid criticising iOS and, by proxy, Apple. It is obvious that iOS users do need to close the apps, everybody knows that, from genius to developers to users, so why make the argument against it at all?
Let´s admit it, Apple messed up on iOS multitasking, it is clunky and confusing, and Steve Jobs was so blase and hip about it that now most Apple fans just cannot bring themselves to say that the king is naked. To me, iOS multitasking is useless, especially because of the overload it brings to the home button, another heavily problematic item that everyone seems to be afraid to criticize. Do anybody here have a perfectly functioning iPhone 4 home button, one that reads correctly every button press?
The problem for those that know is the amount of misinformation spread by app closers.
The dock doesn't show running apps, it's just a list of recently used apps. The first few might or might not be running depending on what they do, thenext few may be held in RAM so they are available for quicker launch, the rest are just icons and it's a waste of time to remove then from the dock, as nothing else is accomplished.
iOS multitasking is very limited and if your phone is actually slower than you have a bad app.
I never close ore than one app thSt is misbehaving and I run my phone for months.
You said it your self, " held in ram" which is using resources and draining battery. They need to just make a real multitasking system similar to webos or windows and be done with this crap. I'm getting tired of the stupid home button double tap crap to switch between OPEN apps
I NEVER leave apps running. I close them out if I won't be using them again. Esp facebook and the like.
"Killing" (clearing) all the apps in the "multi-tasking" (recently run) bar is a waste of time, especially since it's highly likely most of those apps aren't even in memory let alone running.
I'm not sure why the "Genius" people tell people to do that. They told my Aunt that she needs to kill every app after she exits the app using the home button, so she does that including the "Mail" and "Phone" apps which is just idiotic. I told her she doesn't need to do that, but she just said that's what the "Genius guy" told her to do. In my experience, the "Genius" people are horribly misnamed. They aren't any smarter or better than Best Buy's Geek Squad and I would never recommend using the later.
every iphone i know of has problems if there are too many apps in the switcher.
So u seem to be a well informed and smart guy. So what kind of engineering degree do u hold and what's your position in apple since u know than the geniuses and everyone else here with some common sense.
Well, and things like killing and relaunching Calendar so it syncs up (also iCal on OSX). I sure hope Apple hires some good sync engineers at some point... given all the cloud and syncing they've been doing now for, oh, like 4-5 years!
I wish iOS had an option for an automatic silent restart. I have my Mac set up to do all sorts of things at night while I sleep, such as cloning hard drives, etc. I wish I could have my iPhone silently restart itself each night at 4 am.
Wait, off topic question.
Why does Rene's Tweetbot app have that bar looking thing at the top left of it?
Okay, on-subject statement:
I tend to close out all of my apps every day or so. Why? Because it doesn't hurt anything, and I'm a little OCD about it, but even if it only frees up a miniscule amount of memory, it still isn't hurting anything.
I was thinking the same thing about Rene's Tweetbot app. What is that yellow stripped ribbon?
I have an iPhone 3GS and an iPad 1 by now, and a thing that I notice a lot is that when I have too much apps opend my iPhone and iPad slows down a bit, so I like to make a regular clean to the multitasking dock.
When ever I use any type of navigation app, it will drain my battery very fast if I do not close the app on the task bar afterwards.
5 second action to clear the apps from the multitask. I do it all the time and don't plan on stopping, despite what Apple or anyone says. Apple's operating on limited-duration testing - I'm operating on everyday, wide-varietied (sp?) use. It helps my 4S run quickly and continue to do so, and it ensures the same for all the other lower generation models of iPhone I have as well. Therefore, Apple's suggestion = debunked.
This kind of reminds me of the issues of the iPhone 4 with the grip of death. Instead of Admitting to an issue and enacting a corrective action plan, they decide to blame the consumer and say that they are holding the phone wrong. Instead of admitting that the app switcher doenst work as planned and inform the consumer to close their apps they just keep telling u that there's no need and it's a waste of time. At least the geniuses admit to it since they have to deal with it in a daily basis
Wow! This can be one particular of the most useful blogs We've ever arrive across on this subject. Basically Great. I'm also an expert in this topic so I can understand your hard work.
Awesome! Can't wait for your next article. I really enjoy these technical articles. You provide great insights on how to attack a problem head on.
Thank you for your wonderful templates. I started a small business 2 years ago and realized I was mixing my supplies and inventory together. I now have a form to count and record my physical inventory. Thanks. Keep them coming. I have bookmarked this site.
Having a problem with the Mail app and Exchange ActiveSync now which is related to this. The app won't re-connect while open in multi-task and after the phone has been in sleep mode for some time. Quitting the app and reloading forces it to do something differently and it re-connects fine... There should be an option to kill multi-tasking if for any other reason, it would keep people with OCD sane...
This article answers everything...really.
I couldn't disagree with you more, Rene. It is definitely not wrong. It's completely right if the user is an average or novice user. We got a similar question on Episode 22 of Deemable Tech. http://dmbl.co/e22 Joel wanted to know if he needed to close all of the apps "running in the background." I told him, no, you shouldn't have to kill all of your apps, but occasionally you might get a rogue app that will use memory even after it's closed. And, if you're iPhone is running slow, that is the first thing I would try. Sure, it "makes advanced users cringe," but most of the folks that take their iPhone to the Apple Store because they are having problems are not advanced users. They don't have the time or care enough to troubleshoot the problem until they find the issue and then contact the developer to have them fix the app. The more advanced users, like you and me, can do the extra troubleshooting to help the developers. For novices and average users, just closing all the apps is a simple, easy to do and easy to remember solution that fixes the problem.
It just works.
And, that is what makes it the right thing to do.
Android. Back button. Program monitor app shows how many and what apps running even as some of you will likely realize it is an app itself. Things will never change. Things will always stay the same. - God, a long time ago.

I am moving to a new place and the room is all tile and the ceilings are around 10 feet high. Its about 20x20 and I will be about 9 feet from my 50' plasma.
Currently I have a nice Denon 985s (100watts per channel), a Velodyne 10' subwoofer and Polk R series all around (R50's in front, CSM center, and R15's in the rear)
I do care about my sound and I would like to upgrade to a better line of polks. I was looking at adding the Rti10's in front and a CSi3 as the center, but I started thinking about how I want a nice sleek living room and started looking at the Surroundbar50. How much performance am I giving up by going with the 50?
I could add a rear 6th channel in my new room to help fill in the rear.
I just want an upgrade from the R50's and not a downgrade just to get a sleek look.
What do you think?

In 1876 Achille Savinelli Sr. opened one of the first stores in the world that sold tobacco and smoking articles exclusively. As it would turn out, this was a successful venture. Forty years later, his grandson, Achille Jr. was born, and, having shown a keen interest and remarkable talent for pipe making, would eventually open the Savinelli pipe factory in 1948. The pipes produced in this factory garnished high praise and helped to establish the Italian pipe making market formidable. Presently, the Savinelli Company is owned by Giancarlo, great-grandson to Achille Sr. The original shop, built near Piazzo Duomo in Italy, continues to operate to this day.
Making around 100,000 pipes annually, the name is well known. They invented a triangular balsa filter (which fits in a 6mm tenon) and their pipes have a rather even number of vulcanite and acrylic stems. Not all of these pipes are 6mm, though, when they are it is noted in the title. The vast majority are machine made, but there are some hand made pieces as well - the Autographs. The company produces many lines and series of pipes shapes that are either smooth, sandblasted, rusticated, or a mixture of these finishes.
21 Savinelli pipes in this category, 1 new.

To make your own IC's?
A little cleaning, flux here, flux there, tin, and solder.
Clean and seal!
How hard is that, you let your iron do the work!
Not much too it, few tools come in handy, and the payoff is "OFF THE HOOK"!
These are crazy good for the money!
Finished listening to these today, (I've heard a few).
Really, really a good idea to build a pair of these for a "Grant" $50 for a pair (when you buy 25 foot), that includes the rca's, and you will have quiet a bit of this wire left over.
I used Furutech rca plugs in this case.
Just talking about them to another member today, very good and very surprising (sleepers) for the money.
4 wire braid adds some Capacitance to this wire (which is very low capacitance to start with, ie: clean top end).
The 4 wire braid is not hard at all, plenty of info on the net.
I used Mogami 2549 (22ga Negflex x 2) and stock, it is encased in a full "spiral" shield, and outer sheath, which by the way, lessens the dynamics, and makes the top end "softer" as a result of the factory shielding and sheath.
Take the Negflex wires out of it encasement and braid it, eliminating crosstalk, and most interference, you get a shockingly good IC for the money, not the best, but we are talking about $50.
It will compete, and beat in most cases, a number of more expensive interconnects, for the money spent.
Unreal dynamics!
VERY DEEP, detailed bass.
Great detail/mids/topend you name it!
Again, not the best, but will compete in the $100-$125 range of "Famous" BS Snake oil cables!
Prolly the best HT IC's you could possibly want, and VERY good for 2 ch which is how I listened to them.
This is only the 3rd pair I have ever made (braided), and all have exceeded my expectations!

UCF's Top Two Majors are Health Related
While the University of Central Florida is historically known as a technological school, it turns out that its top two undergraduate majors are health-related professions. Nursing is the second most popular major at UCF, but psychology tops the list.
[Psychology, UCF's most popular undergraduate major, is in the College of Sciences]
Psychology Department Chair Jeffery Cassisi says it's no surprise to him that psychology is the most popular undergraduate major at the university. In fact, he says that's the case at most schools, but it's not because everyone wants to be a therapist.
"Certainly that's the reason for many people to come into the major, but psychology at UCF is in the College of Sciences, and we're a very versatile major within the College of Sciences," he says.
He says about half of UCF's psychology students are interested in counseling. But he says psychology is used in business and technology industries. For instance, the massive data gathering done by companies like Google or Blue Cross Blue Shield creates a need for people who can analyze trends and usage- and that's what psych majors do. He says psychology is also becoming attractive as a pre-med major, because the new version of the medical school entrance exam will have heavy emphasis on social and behavioral sciences.

Spice up the Fiesta with Something Different
The Fiesta Table Runner is an attractive addition for your fiesta. And since no fiesta is complete until everything is south of the border, this table runner is perfect to spice up any table.
A must have South of the border accessory, great for Fiestas, and Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
A cute item, but only good for one use -
spacemonkey, FL
We have several theme parties each year, and are slowly accumulating "props" and things to use year after year, as well as more disposable things to change out each year. This item is definitely disposable. Having said that, this really was very cute for the price. Roll it out in advance and put some books on it to help flatten out the curling tendency from shipping (ours came rolled), add a sombrero, dried chilies, or other centerpiece, some spicy food, and you will have a cute little setting. You just may want to put something under it if food or drink will be used near it to protect your surface. Had it survived the party I would have been happy to reuse it next fiesta. As it stands, I may grab another for next time.

The post-apocalyptic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series has always been suitably creepy, and judging by this trailer, the stand-alone sequel Call of Pripyat looks to continue that lineage.
Taking place after the events of Shadow of Chernobyl, Pripyat players will represent the Ukraine Security Service, sent on a mission to discover what exactly went wrong in the Zone. Answer: everything.
Pripyat hits the PC this fall.

International Driver Permit Law Repealed
April 2nd, 2013 | WMFE- Governor Rick Scott signed a bill Tuesday repealing a controversial law that required all foreign drivers in Florida to have an international driving permit- in addition to a valid license. The law was enacted in January- prompting an outcry from thousands Canadian tourists who flock to the Sunshine state each winter.
[Image: I-4 traffic]
The international driving permit is a standard translation of a driver's license into 10 different languages- requiring foreign drivers to have one in addition to a valid license- was supposed to help local law enforcement.
But drivers from countries like Canada and the UK who already carry driver's licenses in English balked at having to get additional documents.
After an uproar from drivers and amid fears the new law could hurt tourism, the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said the law would not be enforced.
Gov. Scott was joined by Consular staff from countries in North America, South America and Europe as he signed House Bill 7059 repealing the law.
Canadian Automobile Association vice president of public affairs Jeff Walker said Canadians can now go back to doing what they've always done and "drive with peace of mind using their provincial license."

Who is Peter Pan? I think it is. I loved the episode.
Who is Peter Pan? I think it is. I loved the episode.
Eww, Emma and Neal love each other. Yuck. At least Tamara is still alive.
I have virtually no more patience with Regina. Her "evil" plans are so stupid and the writers' attempts at "redemption" suck.
And Lacey bugs.
Next season will be about the Believers. Looking forward to that.
I do not care for where this is heading. I am not at all interested in the scientific-religious cult that seems to be emerging, and there are getting to be way too many holes in the plot. Tamara wants to destroy magic from the world and yet she does not hesitate to use a magic bean when it serves her purpose. Bae has a history with Hook and yet neither he nor Hook said anything about it when Hook attempts to kill his father. Owen and Tamara want to wipe out magic and seem to ignore Rumple, the greatest source of magic in Storybrook.
I've enjoyed most of the twists the writers have given the old fairy tales, but turning Peter Pan into a wraith-like being was just wrong.
And Lacey bugs the sh*t out of me.
If this is to end in fire
Then we will all burn together
"In no way do I think I stopped commanding a spotlight. I think I travel with one." -- Johnny Weir
I'm not going to post anything about last night's episode here because I have a feeling I'd get ridiculed to high heaven (short story.....I LOVED the entire episode and bawled when Neal let go of Emma's hand and then when Charming comforted Emma ), but don't forget that Colin (Hook) broke his leg halfway through the filming of the second half of the season. There's no doubt in my mind that they weren't able to do some of the things that they originally wanted to do this season when they lost him for several weeks. That had to be really hard on them to rearrange things and deal with losing one of their actors for an extended amount of time.
And I don't think that Shadow is actually Peter Pan. I think it's just his shadow (remember, he had an ornery one in the original story) and that there's a good story there about how the two of them got separated and why it's now holding kids hostage in Neverland. We may even get a taste of that story in the season finale this weekend. My personal theory is that the Shadow is somehow related to the Wraith and that's how they're going to tie the first part of the season to this second part. Either way I'm excited to get more back story on how Hook and Nealfire knew each other in Neverland and to see if that diamond actually does end up destroying Storybrooke. These guys sure now how to raise the stakes in their season finales!!
This season hasn't quite been as magical as the first one but I think overall it's given us a LOT of beautiful moments. Emma & Snow in the nursery will always be one of my favorite scenes of the entire series, and I also adored Broken, Tallahassee, Manhattan, and Queen of Hearts (my four fave episodes of S2). I'm too invested in these characters now and I plan to follow everything through all the way to the end. I think next season they'll fix the things that they maybe didn't work as well and give us more of the storytelling like they did in season one. I trust these guys.

Good news Dearies. Once Upon a Time is officially returning for a third season, and we will also be introducing a new spinoff series called Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.

I am SO excited that OUAT officially got renewed for season three! I thought it was inevitable at some point but it's always nice to see it in print.
Tonight's episode blew my mind a little bit with awesomeness and since I'm trying to focus on Revenge now, I'll post some thoughts later. My favorite moment though....Emma FINALLY called her parents "Mom" and "Dad"!

I'm happy they are getting a third season but I'm more than a little iffy about this spin off. I don't think it will do well...especially if they try to tie it in with OUAT. One reason I like the show is b/c of the way they weave all the stories together, piece by piece. Sometimes it's a little confusing but it's neat! However, if they try to do the same thing with the Wonderland version (ie. tie it in with Emma/Snow/Charming, etc.) it's going to get hella confusing.
I thought last night's episode was interesting. I don't like the Tamara/Owen story line. Who is in charge of "headquarters" and why aren't they in Storybrooke if it's so important that magic be destroyed? I agree that it's odd they despise magic but yet they use it so freely. It's weird...
I'm also not that happy that they've made Peter Pan evil. Side note: I love that they incorporated Peter/Neverland into the story. I grew up on Peter Pan...I can recite the entire movie! So when I saw Wendy, Peter, Michael and even Nana, I got really excited. . I'm a bit confused on the Peter/Shadow thing. In the Disney version of Peter Pan Peter loses his shadow to Nana and Wendy sews it back on before inviting all three kids to Neverland. The shadow was separate from Peter...so I'm wondering is the Shadow Peter's minion or is the Shadow actually Peter?
I don't know how I feel about Peter Pan being portrayed as the evil kidnapping monster. He's supposed to be a symbol of youth, innocence and childhood. So does that mean Tinker Bell is evil too? Of course if you watch the Disney version, Tinker Bell was a jealous, two-faced, homicidal mega-biatch! She tried to kill--yeah, kill--Wendy and even betrayed Peter to Hook b/c of Wendy. She was terrible! Only now in my older age do I realize how insane that bitch was!
Well, I'm happy Neil isn't dead but I'm even happier that we'll get to see Mulan, Philip and Aurora again! That was an interesting triangle so hopefully they'll go into that more. So that means Neil is back in the Enchanted Forest...or at least he's close to it.
I enjoyed this season and I'm glad it's coming back.
I understand both the Aurora and Mulan actresses have new series, though. So I don't know how they're going to handle that.

That was a pretty good episode. And despite my penchant for having no interest in anti-heroes, I think Hook and Emma have mad chemistry. And thank goodness Lacey is gone forever.
Can Snow finally be free of guilt over killing Cora? Thank you.
Can someone explain to me how Rumple turned Lacey back into Belle? It looked so easy so why didn't he do it earlier?

Wonderland is NOT going to be tied into Once Upon a Time. It is kind of a spin off but according to the producers, it's a standalone show that might have a few obvious connections to OUAT (Mad Hatter, Cora as the Queen of Hearts, etc) but will not rely on OUAT for it's stories. I think it's going to be more of a mini series and have a beginning, middle, and ending this season. We should find out more about the show tomorrow when ABC has their upfront presentation in NYC so hopefully we get more details then.
I loved the episode last night and I wish I hadn't been so brain dead from Revenge's awesomeness because I can't remember all I wanted to talk about now! Darn brain needs to heal fast here, LOL
I'm very glad Neal is still alive and that Mulan and Aurora managed to save Philip. I hope they're able to tell that story somehow next year in between things for the two actresses. I loved seeing Emma & Regina team up to save everyone from the crazy diamond destroyer. I think Regina's story arc has been like an EKG readout while someone is having a heart attack this year, but her love for Henry has always been there and now that she's motivated more by that than the evil stuff, I think we'll see a different and better side of Regina next season. She will always be butting heads with the Charmings and Rumple but hopefully the downright vindictive part of her goes into hibernation for a while. I'm glad we got more back story with Hook (hey, he actually does have a kind side when he wants to!) and hopefully Colin stays healthy next season so we don't lose him for any more extended periods of time. I'm very glad that Rumple got Belle back but am a little confused why he left her behind. I guess this is a good chance for badass Belle to come back and be the strong woman we all met the first time she appeared on the show by taking charge of Storybrooke for now. I loved the Charmings a bunch last night. Loved David punching Hook and I loved the talk that Snow gave Emma about how they had to save Regina. Did anyone else catch that she called her "honey" just like a mom does when she's trying to explain something to her child?! That was SO CUTE. Emma was SO motherly last night that I had to smile at thinking how far she's come in the last two seasons. Her comment, "I don't want him (Henry) to grow up like I did" was so heartfelt and heartbreaking for me as an Emma fan who still feels like there's a lonely little girl hiding inside her. I think being alone again is Emma's biggest fear and she doesn't want that for her son. He'd all ready lost his dad and now she was afraid that he'd lose both of his moms too. Pardon me, I have something in my eye.... Anyway, I loved the interactions in the mine and I actually felt more heartbreak when Regina told Emma, "Everyone thinks of me as the Evil Queen...let me die as Regina" while she tried to contain the diamond's magic. It's hard to remember that there really is a good person in there underneath all the evil but maybe the events of last night will make Regina change for good (hope she keeps her snarkiness though because that's just fun). I LOVED that Emma called her parents "mom" and "dad" when she was scared about the diamond destroying everyone. I think that may be the first time in her whole life that Emma was finally able to be comforted by people who love her when she was scared and that little girl inside her just couldn't help coming out. That scene was just beautiful. Pardon me, I have something in my eye again...
I am SO excited about Neverland! IIRC, Peter Pan wasn't a hero character in the original stories (I may have to reread those this summer) and I think it should be fascinating to see the OUAT twist on this story. Who on earth can they cast as Peter though??! That's going to be tough but I have faith in this casting department. They really do a great job finding the right people for these roles. I thought the finale set up next year's stories perfectly and I am super stoked to see what they bring us next.

Some of the crazier posters on the OUAT facebook page are going on and on and on about how Emma hates Hook, it will never, ever, happen, etc. Wow something in this last ep must have gotten them pretty spooked....
"In no way do I think I stopped commanding a spotlight. I think I travel with one." -- Johnny Weir
Neal and Emma talked in the last episode and I thought he was pretty honest with her for the first time why he didn't come find her. He also apologized to her about it and while it wasn't a long talk, it did break that ice between them about their past and I think had they not been distracted by the whole Tamara/Greg trying to destroy Storybrooke thing, they may have talked more about it later. It's definitely out there for them to explore more once you know, they're in the same world again, LOL I think OUAT is fantastic with the action and keeping everyone on their toes, but one of the reasons why Manhattan is my favorite episode is that the characters didn't DO much...they just talked and reacted to their slightly insane family situation and IMO that's when this show really shines...when it allows its characters to react to the things that have all ready happened and they have to talk to each other about everything. Hopefully we get more of that type of thing next season along with some good old Neverland action!
BTW-This past episode was one of the first times I saw that Hook could have some good in him so maybe my feelings about him and Emma will change if they keep exploring that next season. I still want her to end up with Neal at the VERY end for her happy ending though so I guess I'm still the outsider here, LOL

Will and Diane are every bit a part of this show as Alicia, Kalinda and (now) Eli! Cannot imagine the show without them.
I just had to get caught up online, and unfortunately the cbs site often has video problems. I only had sound for about 2/3 of the Oly doping ep. The most recent one was fine until the last couple of minutes. What did Canning give Alicia? Sounds like a job offer (again), but did we see what?

I'm having trouble using this link. I get an error message from "Google maps" saying it cannot open the map because it is not a proper "KML" (or whatever) file.
Can someone please help? Perhaps it is a problem with Google maps, but that seems to be the default program.

A week ago, a woman was charged with leaving her child in the car while she went into a store. Her 11-year-old child. This week, a woman was arrested for allowing her 9-year-old daughter to go to the park alone. Which raises just one question: America, what the heck is wrong with you?

While everyone else watched the Superbowl
I love being married to a man who doesn't care about pro-football (the college variety is a different story).
Madeleine is quite charmed by all the attention she gets at this place, everyone telling her to stay away from apples and such. She did meet the evil queen, who reflected in a rather magnificent malicious tone, "Why, Miss White, you look so different with your ginger hair." The girls loved her.

Jer. 29:11, we've been there on two Superbowl Sundays now, and both days were more crowded than a typical Sunday. We never felt like we were standing around waiting in lines, though. Fastpasses and stroller passes really make for a smooth day.

Levante have warned Atletico Madrid that Keylor Navas will not be sold on the cheap and they must improve their offer for the goalkeeper.
Navas has been one of the stars of the FIFA World Cup where he is featuring for Costa Rica, helping his team to the quarter-finals by starring in a penalty-shootout victory over Greece in the last 16.
The 27-year-old has conceded just twice in four matches in Brazil and continues his fine domestic form from last season, including a fine showing in Levante's 2-0 victory over Atletico in May.
The Spanish champions have apparently set their sights on a deal for Navas to replace Thibaut Courtois, who is to return to Chelsea after three years on loan at the Vicente Calderon.
Levante president Quico Catalan claimed that Atletico offered €6million plus forward Leo Baptistao for Navas' services, but that offer was rejected.
Catalan has now told Atletico that Navas will only be sold if his €10million release clause is met, while also revealing there is plenty of interest in the former Albacete man.
"Keylor has a €10million release clause and we know that Keylor is worth more than that," Catalan told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.
"All the teams that have made offers for Keylor know what the answer will be - the release clause.
Referencing Atletico's offer, Catalan explained: "€6 million plus Leo Baptistao is not €10million.
"Keylor is having a great World Cup and many clubs, foreign and Spanish, have shown their interest."
