Anyways, I found the lines quoted above quite interesting, particularly given the notes that have circulated tumblr about Hans vs. Hook. That’s instantly what I thought of, and I was surprised more that anything to see that acknowledged as an act of villainy.
I’m kicking myself right now for not having instantly made the connection myself. Holy crap, that’s just…like, do they even realise that they’re writing things the way they are, with nods to the crap Hook has done to Emma, and at the same time writing her lines saying she trusts him? If I had any confidence in the writers, I might think they were doing it deliberately because Hook’s got a big fall coming…but alas the confidence isn’t there, and I’m sure they just have a warped view of what they’re actually writing.
ETA: Forgot to say, about Will – wasn’t there clear indication at the end of WL that it was several years later (Alice & Cyrus’s kid) and Will and Ana were ruling Wonderland? In order to go Emma/Will – which I almost kinda could ship, though never never in the way I ship SF – they’d have to totally retcon that, no?
Yes, there was a flashforward where Alice was telling their daughter about the White King and Queen ruling WL, with the implication being that they were Will and Ana. So at this point in time, Will’s supposed to be King in WL, not running around SB, so they’d better have a good explanation for why he’s there or I’ll be flipping tables.
