Last bit, the photo Onyx posted of Hook in the trunk – yeah, that coffin imagery is really striking (and not accidental.) I also had the thought – someone (maybe Phee?) mused about the placement of Hook in front of that “Game of Thorns” sign. It dawned on me yesterday, what is Game of Thrones known for? Deaths, lots of deaths. Plus, it’s roses – Zelena had the one at the trunk (which made NO sense in the context of the scene, IMO) and the one at Neal’s grave. I had kind of sidelined my thinking that perhaps Hook would be the permanent death, but now I am riding that train – hard.
First time I saw that scene with him in the trunk as a Sneak Peek, the rose instantly reminded me of Gaston, who was killed by being turned into one, by Rumple, who was also in the trunk scene. So, yeah, I’ve said ever since the Spoiler of Doom came out that I thought Hook made the most sense, and all the death imagery surrounding him isn’t exactly convincing me to think otherwise.
Bother. I just found out that we couldn’t exchange our Phantom tickets after all because there aren’t enough seats available at the other shows next week. I guess I’ll have to catch up with you guys when I get home later that night. Dangit!
It’s OK Heather, you’re not alone, it’s likely that I won’t be able to tune in to watch a live stream, so you won’t be the only one playing catchup.
