I hate myself but I decided to go to netflix and watch some scenes. (yes I am insane. I ACTUALLY have hope for a refreshing plot where swanfire blossoms and Hook decays – call me crazy)
so I decided to watch a few scenes from season 4. I must say, that I do not think they destroyed Rumple’s character at all. in every single scene he looks and acts like a hero. if any of you have netflix, watch that scene again where Gold and Emma talk. right before she is about to open that door with the hat. notice the way they look at each other. it’s like they can see into each other’s souls and they GET what they see. it’s a conversation between two heroes. “we have no choice” what was not said, but implied is “we have no choice because we are saviors”
I bet this is the ONLY scene in season 4 where these two interact, because from what I heard, Emma and Hook barely have any scenes apart, but in this scene, it reminded me of all these interactions they had in season 1,2 and 3 and again, they were beautiful together. both the same type. desperate souls.
another thing. when Belle lied to Rumple, and even used him, and then cut him on the neck, she felt really bad and fell to the ground apologizing, he fell right with her and didn’t even show a second of anger towards her. But at the town line, when he did the same to her (minus the cut on the neck) she turned away unforgiving while he was on his hands and knees begging (besides for sending him into the cold harsh world without even a cane, let alone some money or his car)
back to the Emma/Gold scene by the hat: I think he wanted her to sacrifice her white magic to become ordinary, and this would maybe somehow bring Neal back in the long run.
Question:: did Emma become selfish and babyish AFTER that scene or was she like that since 4a? those who watched till 5a could you tell me?
