ParticipantI’m glad we have a long break from Once. We used to dread the hiatuses, now we welcome them with open arms. How times have changed.
The “heartbreaking” moments on this show are losing their power because there is always something going on. The characters lurch from one crisis to another, there is no quiet episode where the characters can just go about their lives, it’s all just noise.
Whilst JMo acted her socks off over Hook’s death, it seemed a bit weird that when Neal died, who she admitted in Neverland that she’d never stopped loving and we’re talking 12 years, she didn’t bat an eye. Hook’s dead, whom she’s only “loved” for a few months at most and she is suddenly marching into the underworld to get him back. It’s ridiculous.
Just had a thought. Emma stabbing Hook seemed very reminiscent of Buffy stabbing Angel including the sudden redemption (Angel got his soul back just as Buffy stabbed him). What if, like Buffy, Hook isn’t in “Hell” but in Once’s version of heaven, ie his “heroic” sacrifice got him sent to the good place. When Emma and co bring him back, like Buffy’s friends did to her, they’re actually dragging him out of heaven?

Yeah that was the first thing that everyone was saying on Twitter last night during the live viewing. As for your thought, nope..it’s the Underworld. They’ve made some clarifying remarks that it’s not Hell, but it’s more akin to “a place between” filled with villains

ParticipantRejoice, if u though the show was bad, appears will be turning worst Adam said on twiter to some fan that was pissed why Emma went to underworld to save a bad person like Hook and didnt went to save a good person like neal that was also her son father, and he said they will explain why that happen on S5B, so prepare, so some retcon, has Sf was never actually TL, how neal was just her 1st love, how was a life for a life that was about the vault so no way to do that, bla, bla, so if they do explain, will be to retcon and trash Neal.

ParticipantMy sense is that they will say Neal died with no unfinished business so he’s in heaven (or whatever the show’s mythological “good” resting place is, and that’s why he cannot be brought back. But he died without getting to raise his son or even say goodbye to him, so that’s going to sound hollow to me.

That will explain why Neal is not there, but what Adam said, was why Emma wants to Bring back Hook and not Bring back Neal, that will only get the fandom angry, Sf fans bullied and bring the ship wars that will never end

KeymasterWhatever explanation is said in show will only matters worse. Just leave it alone, boys.

ParticipantI really hope this is the final season.
Is that bad?
I mean, I can’t STOP watching. Not because I am genuinely interested but because I have way too much time and energy invested in this show (since 2011!!!! Sheesh!) But I am really wanting this to end desperately.
*sigh* I stuck with True Blood for about 3 seasons of “blah” quality before the final season (which was less blah and more “meh, acceptable”) and I was finally able to let that go once it ended. I’m ready to let ONCE go (gosh that pains me so much to say) but I can’t stop without finding out how it all ends T_T

ParticipantI may be outlining a new SF fic where in the pilot when she’s chasing Ryan (I think that’s his name) she gets hit by a car and has been in a coma dreaming all of the past seasons up. One of my endings for the show.
