You know what pisses me off? People that will do ANYTHING to defend their favorite show's stupid plot or casting decisions. I was watching Once Upon A Time last night on hulu and read the forum afterwards to see if anyone had commented on the use of a brown eyed redhead playing the child version of a brunette man with very striking blue eyes and came on this:

I think you need to go back and pay attention to a biology class. Hair and eyes can change color when you go through hormonal changes. My daughter had the clearest blue eyes up until she was about 2 and a half, and now they are Hazel. My hair was almost white blonde when I was young, and when I turned 12, it started to get a lot darker. My eyes have gone through a color change as well... several times over my 37 years in fact.

Okay, first thing you notice is her not-so-subtle dig at others intelligence and education. She's right though, at least till that bit about her eye color changing several times over her life. Yeah, I don't think so. And a 7 year old kid with brown eyes sure as hell isn't going to have ice blue eyes as an adult. So why are you on a thread about bad casting choices making stupid remarks that 1) having nothing to do with this and 2) are bullshit.

That show's forum really does bring out the worst in people, there are long inflammatory threads having to do with politics, adoption, abortion, etc. It's a freaking fairy tale show, for god's sake! They've sucked all the pleasure out of discussing the show like rational adults. Assholes.
