So much to catch up on!
@HappyEndings – thanks for your kind words. I’d like to think that while we’re happy & have lots of things to be happy about, we’re not celebrating others’ being upset and we certainly don’t WANT people to be heartbroken. It’s inevitable that somebody will be no matter what and I hate that it comes to that. Glad many are being respectful. We’re a Oncer FAMILY and need to get along and support each other, even if we have different ships!
THE INTERVIEW!
Love that Jim is a CS fan and gave us a joint interview like he did for Ginny & Josh! Could these two be any more adorable? Colin stumbling over everything trying to talk about stuff. To think he’s married and he’s tripping over questions about love and being super shy and blushing (and Jen teasing him). Such a cute interview! It also sounds like there’s more to the interview that we haven’t seen yet so hopefully we’ll get the rest of it sometime soon!
Hours later and I’m still not sure I can completely function after that set of interviews (Sean’s was lovely as well and he has an accent too! *swoon*), but about the question regarding the triangle: The way Jen worded this is key for me. It started well “Well there’s Neal……birth father (which is about all that can said at this point if the evil spoiler is correct)….BUT….let me talk about this awesome thing that is CS.” She started with the ok option, followed by BUT, and then spent the rest on CS. I wouldn’t put too much stock in the birth father thing because that’s what he is, that’s how to say he’ll always be a part of things BUT CS is where Emma’s heart is.
A big theme has always been choice and we’re supposed to see Emma make a choice this year so I really really hope that it’s done earlier on, in the first few episodes so there’s no doubt left. Technically her choice COULD be after something major and it’s her choice to move forward vs crumbling but she’s already done that in 3A and this needs more punch to it- we’ll have to wait and see I guess. I mean, WE have no doubt because Good Form WHICH RE-AIRS TONIGHT, showed that Emma could be “feeling good” and let herself start to move forward by kissing Hook a few days after she thought Neal died which was in direct contrast with everyone else she was around who would flip out if they lost their love…..
That said…this is a slightly different Emma we’re dealing with. She’s had both sets of memories, she’s had a long-term relationship, she raised Henry this time and it changed her subtly in some ways. Some will say it’s still too soon but she MIGHT be more open to it now and we’ll be pleasantly surprised! She encouraged Hook to think about her, he found her in NY, he’s getting her memories back and helping her with her family…we don’t know all the details yet. Once all her memories come crashing down on her and she gets a second to breathe, she might act on things she was too afraid to before because she’s almost lost the chance to multiple times now. So maybe she can and will make a choice earlier as opposed to later. I think her mind is already made up and it’s definitely going to be shown in this half of the season regardless, but it would probably go over just a little bit better if it happened earlier given what’s to come…though I’ll settle for a reverse S1 parallel TLK scenario later on of course and spend the half season like we did with 3A watching one of them fall hard….as long as she keeps giving Killian HOPE since she hates false hope but encouraged him to keep thinking about her!
We’re supposed to get 7 scenes in 3×12 I think Mandy said and I can’t wait! And the sneaks are only snippets of the scenes….SO EXCITED!
GOOD FORM & GOING HOME re-air tonight (interesting choices guys, seriously subtle), and tomorrow is the 1 hour special followed by 3×12. CAN’T WAIT! (On the bright side, stupid Daylight Savings Time is useful finally….we get to skip ahead an hour so it’s that much closer! 1 more sleep!)
