I did really love the episode, but I have to agree with the comment (Surayya? Maybe it was yours?) that I think I would’ve rather been spoiled by the kiss, for more impact.
Yeah, I’m going to make a concentrated effort to try hold back from of the spoilers for next ep… I totally went to town fangirling when I saw those pics, then went “DAMN, I supposed to be ‘no spoilers’ beyond the promo this week” lol- So not sure if I’ll make it, esp if a sneak peek comes out with CS goodness (what can I say- I’m weak 😉 ), but I’m making the effort this week since 402 was so mind blowing with all the wonderful surprise moments we got 😀
I also liked Killian & Elsa’s interaction. I think they’d make good friends even if it weren’t for Emma. I think they played off each other quite well when Elsa said she wasn’t going to sit around the sheriff’s station and Killian’s response was pretty much “well, DUH”. I can see Emma being very protective of both of them, since having a functional romantic relationship AND friendship are both new to her – and the two of them essentially patting her on the head and doing what they feel they must to keep Emma safe and protected.
Hehe, it was great wasnt it 🙂
The promo – SQUEE!!! I agree – I loved Emma’s outfit. It was really is probably her 1st real date – breaking into an amusement park aside – and it’s definitely Killian’s 1st date in this realm – so I love their clothing choices. It’s a great way to visually show that each of them wants to make a good impression on the other, even though they already know so much about the other. And they probably both do feel a little like they’re going back in time, and finally getting to experience the ‘normal’ things they missed out during their teenage years/20s. (or, 300s if you’re the pirate!) The point of course, being that these two people had to grow up so very fast and so very young – the clothes just allow the audience to see all of that without having to spend 20 minutes expressing those feelings verbally.
I love your take on it as well, good point about the growing up fast & young….
Wow, just got hit with a realisation while reading your post Jenna! This is actually Emma’s 1st real date knowing exactly who she really is! Every other ‘date’ she hasnt been aware of who she really is, which makes it that much more special 😀 That it’s probably Killian’s, 1st real date (doubtful FTL pirates actually do the whole dating thing lol & if the event they do date lol- then his 1st SB date), makes it all the more sweeter IMO.
Ok, time to get the child to bed! Somehow he managed to get me to allow him to stay up an extra 1/2 hour again…!!
Hehehe, cleaver child 😉
