  Too bad. We’ll be enjoying it while the haters can hide in their gloomy caves or whatever, only coming out to harass Adam (cause you know that’s already started). Apparently  A and E are now promoting  abuse because the show is having Emma “give in” to Hook after saying NO to him repeatedly. I didn’t hear any No’s from Emma, who is perfectly capable of shutting down permanently and painfully anyone   who messes with her. Where do people come up with this crap?

Wow! I saw that and was angered.  Really? CS promotes a rape culture? Really?  Hook has never forced himself on Emma and never would.  He has placed her and her family above his own needs/desires, even though they still treat him with suspicion.    Hook has expressed complete faith in her and wants her to fully accept herself.  he wants her to lead a fully her life based on truth and embrace her potential, not to sink herself into a world of self deception that robs her of her heritage and true potential.  I also agree that he has not been pestering her for a date or a relationship.  Emma has sought him out to watch over Henry and flirted with him in the diner.

DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE A MAJOR RUMBELLER…(no spoilers, but HYPOCRISY ALERT)

 A lot of these people are the same ones that promote RumBelle.  You know the relationship where the guy literally forces the girl to leave her family, keeps her completely isolated, has her sleep in a dungeon, later keeps her from reuniting with her family (probably because he doesn’t want her to know he beat her father to a pulp and to limit the options Belle has to live without him and which denies her her heritage and family), lies to her about not killing, kills all the time and not in self-defense, never puts her above his own needs (whether for power or vengeance).  If you like Rumbelle, I don’t see how you can have a problem with CS or see it as worse relationship when it comes to a treatment of women.

Keeper of Hook and Emma's smoldering first kiss, a certain Pirate's sauciness, the Evil Queen's snarkiness, Grumpy's gruffness and a drop of true love to make it all go down smooth.
