The Belle and Rumpelstiltskin moments looked really romantic, and it was heartbreaking to see Belle screaming at Regina how she would never give up.
I like a bit of a recap with all the other characters, but it would have been nice to see more new scenes with them, too. But I guess if they showed anymore, the might as well just show the episode early, given all the clips and trailers they released and all.
Yes, it was nice seeing them. K&H did say recently that the second half of the season would feature a lot more of Rumbelle, so that might be why there’s so much new footage of them while there’s not much new footage of the other characters.
I don’t mind Captain Hook being in the video, but I don’t really get him being with Emma. Nothing has been confirmed to happen between the two of them. In fact, him and Emma will be separated for a while, since Emma is going to complete the favor she owes Rumpelstiltskin.
Yes, it makes sense that he’s in there because he’ll be a regular soon and that he’s a popular new character. As for him being with Emma in the clip, it doesn’t bother me because I don’t think the promo people actually watch the show at all. Like off the top of my head, they made a big deal about Hook being a worse villain than Rumpelstiltskin, and we know that’s not even close to being true even if Rumpel redeems himself by the end of the series. They also gave away who Dr. Whale was which killed the ending of The Doctor. I know there’s a bunch of other things that they’ve done that didn’t make any sense too. I just ignored that part and focused in on the clips with her and her family.
Here’s a recent Jennifer Morrison quote about Cora and Hook coming to Storybrooke, and it’s all about protecting Henry from them.
“No one’s going to be happy” about the arrival of the pirate brig’s passengers, says Jennifer Morrison. “It’s too much of a threat to everything that we care about.” Speaking in character, she adds, “I don’t really know that much about all these people from this other land, but I do know that those two are dangerous, so I’m certainly not going to want them anywhere near my kid.”
