    Okay this was HANDS DOWN THE BEST EPISODE OF THE SEASON SO FAR:

    LIKED:

    – EVERYTHING.

    – NIMUE!!! EVERYTHING WITH NIMUE! LOVE HER! Merlin and her relationship was just too beautiful, and she is hardcore. I cant wait to see more of her!

    – Little Young Apprentice! (wait…Merlin didn’t want to make Nimue immortal…but he made his apprentice immortal?)

    DISLIKED:

    – Zelena still being a tricky witch. Writers….please. I know Zelena is wicked but that woman has SOME goodness in her somewhere. I honestly cannot buy this card carrying villain shtick from Zelena. I don’t think she would have helped Arthur v_v sorry. I don’t.

    – RETCONS!!!! I was under the impression that the first dark one was created at the vault of the dark one… now you tell me that’s not a thing? Pull your crap together, OUAT writers/

    – Who the actual heck is this vortigun person and why is he relevant? Why is he just killing peoples?

    FAVORITE DIALOG:

    ” It felt damn good!” – Emma Swan!

    Liked:

    Nevengers: Camelot Edition.

    the Holy Grail is really Excalibur.

    We were right folks…Nimue is the original Dark One?

    That struggle Emma was going through between good and evil…Go Jmo!

    And everything else…this felt like classic OUAT Episode, and was spectacular.

    Gathering of Dark Ones at the end of the episode and the coming full circle from Merlin warning Emma, to her pulling the sword from the Stone.

    Disliked:

    C’mon Snow…really? The oldest trick in the book, and you fell for it.

    You know, I’m just going to hope that we’re not going to get a back story / significant plot detour for every piece of jewelry that Hook wears, because OUAT would have to do a spin off show.

    So. Many. Baubles. O.o

    Dude! Wow. Just wow. I had completely forgotten the level of slimebag there.

    Honey, none of us do. But that’s the white heterosexual privileged male gaze for you. They honestly think the way they write Hook is acceptable because it’s been “acceptable” in TV for years and years and years.

     

    Two things really annoy me about all this, apart from the obvious. First, the degree to which the writers seem to have forgotten their original point of departure, and appear to think that the audience is a bunch of brainless zombies, drooling mindlessly in front of their televisions. It’s obvious from that gif set that they started with Hook being a very clear, and rather appalling antagonist.

    Now, the standard move for the romance trope would have been to then reveal that his philandering ways are just a brittle outer shell, and mostly bluster, hiding a soft gooey center of insecurities and (<del>mommy issues),</del> excuse me, desire to be loved. But they didn’t really do that with Hook. He ISN’T a vulnerable, insecure, self-doubting sort of guy. What you see is actually exactly what you get. He’s just that bad. And he’s also not the other trope — the Casanova carpe diem type who is eventually tamed by the heroine. I’m sorry to say, he’s just not that charming. And yet, we are supposed to extend him the same credit as if he were either profoundly broken (and hence sympathetic) or the ‘seize the day’ type (and hence enjoyable in a wish fulfillment kind of way), just because the particular skirt he’s chasing at the moment is Emma’s. Cue RG’s point about the privileged heterosexual white male gaze.

    The other thing that just annoys me to no end, and I’ve said this before, is the way in which the fandom sometimes responds to this show, and how other relationships (both romantic and not) get torn to shreds on the basis of some kind of moral high ground. The most obvious example is how RumBelle always seems to get paraded as the paragon of the abusive relationship. Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally problematic, but at least it follows the classic romance trope (in many ways, it’s almost straight up Jayne Eyre). One might not like its gender roles, but it’s very clearly meant to have these troubling, psychologically complicated elements. And the same, of course, with SF. But with CS we have the writing, which is constantly hinting at how screwed up the relationship is, and PLOT which keeps shoving it down our throats, awful writing and all, like it’s the most natural thing ever.

    O.o

    Ugh. Bah. Too early for a Saturday morning rant, but I couldn’t help myself. [climbs off the soapbox]

    Honey, none of us do. But that’s the white heterosexual privileged male gaze for you. They honestly think the way they write Hook is acceptable because it’s been “acceptable” in TV for years and years and years. Hook is their fantasy insert character for themselves–they get to pretend to be Han Solo meets Errol Flynn and women always fall for the charms of those types of Hollywood rogues. What they don’t get is that outside of TV landscape where we continue to let these characters have free reign (thank god for on social media where we tear them down for the terrible constructs they are) women would run from a man like Hook for being a stalker and exhibiting obsessive tendencies, sociopathic tendencies, and generally being a good for nothing *at this point RG goes on a tangent with many swear words*.

    But on TV? Nah, man. Totes sexy!

    So…. I’ve got a theory:
    Hook dies. Emma trades her soul to Hades for him. Why? Because this is what occurred for Megara in the Disney version, when her boyfriend died. She traded her soul for him to live again and he “ran off with some babe and hurt her real bad” as said by Hades. This could be where we are headed…. They travel to the underworld to get him back but must make a swap and Emma decides to take his place.
    Horrible deal if you ask me.

    I agree. Also here’s the thing. If they’re paralleling Emma and Meg with the above example, then Hook leaving Emma for someone else after her saving him would be a douchebag move.
