About Hook and Emma’s wedding, the circumstances surrounding their engagement seem so bad, like the writers really don’t want us to be rooting for them to go through with it. Something just seems really off about the whole engagement, especially with how things have gone lately. It’s being framed in a negative way. It reminds me of when Belle and Rumple got engaged. Rumple lied to Belle about the dagger, just as Hook is now lying by omission to Emma about murdering her grandfather. I know Rumple and Belle got married, but it’s been far from HEA for them. It just seems like the writers may be giving the CS fans what they want without really wanting them to be happy. Both couples have deep problems about lying. At least now Rumple is being honest with Belle, but they’re still along way off from being happy or really suitable for each other. Thoughts?
I really just don’t think we can interpret what might happen on the show based on what happened on the show in the past or the negative framing of an episode or really anything. I know that is ridiculous. Of course, in a normal show we would watch it and think about where the characters are at and what was said about things and how certain information was framed by the show, how characters reacted, how storylines were built, and then use that to interpret what would happen in the future on the show.
I just don’t think that we can do that with Ouat. Ouat is so inconsistent as to just be ridiculous. The characters will forgive each other for anything. The drama in the moment is meaningless because it may never be mentioned again or it may be forgiven immediately upon being mentioned or be forgiven in the next episode after being mentioned.
People on this show hang around and date people who have almost murdered their children and have murdered members of their immediate family. Not only do they hang around with those people, but they hang around them without ever discussing those incidents. That is so completely and utterly unrealistic. The characters on this show do not act like real people.
If we are just talking about the framing of the scene, the writers of this show just want to cause drama for the sake of drama and they did that. There was drama. That drama will have no bearing on what happens long term on this show. Nothing ever has a long term impact on what happens on this show. The characters are just rewritten and everything is forgotten within a few episodes. The characters in this show are written as insane people.
