Okay, so I just finished reading all of the new posts on the CSF thread. If I may make a suggestion to all of my CS shippers to avoid that thread in future and stick to their own ships.Until this “triangle” is conclusively over, there is only bound to be more mudslinging. And that’s what it’s come down to.I started lurking on this site over a year ago and really enjoyed the conversations about OUAT, but I feel that it’s not about that anymore.I’ve gone over to a few other sites, including FB, only to find the same thing happening there.Its either about Hook or Neal, as if they and Emma are the only three characters on this show. And ABC publicity isn’t helping matters by pitting one against the other. Heck, it helps ratings doesn’t it? I personally haven’t bothered to reply to any negative posts here because I just don’t need the stress in my life.

, I completely agree with your previous post. The podcast, although I do enjoy it, is very pro-SF, and dismissive of Hook as a character. I find that most of the other podcasts I listen to are the same, with the exception of the Captain Swan Podcast (kudos to whoever it was on this thread to recommended it–it’s very funny)

Why all of the Neal love??>Is it because he’s Henry’s father or because we as a fandom all loved Bae?>I’m sorry, but I can’t reconcile the two characters of Neal and Bae .IMO, they are completely different entities. The Bae who fought for Wendy and her brothers would have fought for Emma. Neal didn’t. And TBH, I was completely okay with Neal as a suitor for Emma until he brought Tamara into the mix. (the “I need her” speech from season two -can’t remember the episode title- where Neal tells Emma that Tamara is coming to SB) .<>Everything else I dislike about the character snowballed from there.

I will be truly disappointed if Hook and Emma are not a “thing” by the end of the season. There’s been more character interaction and development between Hook and Emma from Tallahassee on, than with Neal and Emma in these two seasons. They’ve basically pounded us over the head with CS from their first meeting, and from what I’ve seen of the spoilers, it’s still happening.  If A and E have no intention of having a Hook and Emma pairing, then what was the point of all this?
