Showrunners Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz opened up about the love triangle’s remaining relationship and where it might be headed, prepare yourself for disappointment — Horowitz told E!:
“Their relationship is continuing to develop and grow, but right now, both of them are embroiled in something beyond romance. So while they’re dealing with any feelings they may or may not have for one another, the stakes are raised so high now.”
Ok sooo exactly what he said during NL. Okay.
Also, extremely true. Emma just watched her first love and the father of her child die — there’s no way she’s going to rush into anything romantic right away, even if his death was somewhat heroic. Because like Kitsis said, she’s always had walls up and between flying-monkey-guy and Neal biting the dust, they’re at least 50-75 feet higher than they were before. Good luck climbing over those, Hook — but perhaps we’re underestimating their connection.
Yeah, that happened in 2×21 too, so…
Hook is a changed man and although he didn’t feel remorse going after Emma in Neverland, he may very well feel remorse now for going after a dead-man’s girl. Especially since he saved Neal’s life way back when and still feels that brotherly/fatherly love for him.
But that’s exactly what he did in NL… went after a dead man’s girl… their words not mine. And… if you save someone’s life just to put it intentionally in danger again and not even care if the person dies… does that still count?
OUAT’s love triangle might be over (or rather, simplified), but Neal’s shadow is going to hang over Hook and Emma for long enough to prevent them from ‘shipping anytime soon.
So basically 2×21-3×11 didn’t happen. Exactly what Quiet Minds was trying to tell us.
