Alright. I’ve calmed down a wee bit. lol. I apologize for my hysterics earlier. I’ve never shipped anything that hasn’t sailed so the idea that I’m wrong about this show makes me nutty.
I’ve had some time to reflect and rewatch the panel. I think my first go around, the live watching, was that it came across (to me) as if they were saying, “Emma only told Neal she loved him because he was dying and thus gave him a sort of parting gift.” Which is why I thought they basically killed SF right then and there. Now that I’ve had some time to think about it and watch it again, I agree with what Phee was attempting to me all along: just because it was in the heat of the moment, doesn’t mean it’s not true. It’s called passion. Right then there, confronted with the idea of him dying, you tell the person how you feel. It’s like with Rumple and Belle (oh OTP. I love you). “Sweetheart, I’m dying…” so what does he do: he has to tell her how he feels about her and the kind of woman she is. Emma will not let Neal die without him knowing that she has always loved him and will always love him.
As for the kiss I think it’s going to play out this way: in a flashback we see Swanfire kissing and in the present day we may see an almost CS kiss or a full blown CS kiss (with Neal stumbling into it, cause TV drama). I think we’re going to have a full blown triangle on our hands by the second half of this season and no resolution until 322. Hold tight. Bumpy seas ahead.
