Okay, first of all: THAT was the test!?
Also, cried when Pan died; felt nothing during the elevator scene. That scene where Emma met Tasha, though…
[adrotate group="5"]That test didn’t make a lick of sense. You could put any other character in Hook’s shoes and Emma would do the same thing—she’s the Savior, she SAVES. But apparently this is the true sign that Emma and Hook share true love? Okay then. It just proves that True Love is meaningless on this show nowadays.
Also, Emma apparently doesn’t have a heart full of true love without her boyfriend. Guys, what was S1 about cause I don’t remember??

Hope™.
At least you can have this:
And literally all I know about Twilight is that it’s about a vampire and a werewolf who stalk a girl. The vampire gets the girl, and the werewolf falls in love with their infant daughter.
I had prepared myself for it. I think I had known Hook and Emma would are a “true love moment” ever since Emma described Nimue as Merlin’s “true love” (even after Nimue convinced Hook to murder Merlin). So, I guess it comes as little surprise that Emma would continue to laud Hook a hero and put herself in harm’s way for him (something we’ve seen her do for Henry, Snow White, Regina, and others). As has been pointed out, she’s the savior, so it’s what she does. Since she actually is TL incarnate, it’s still not clear to me whether it was Emma’s true love for Hook that let her pass so much as it was her heart being made of her parents’ true love that let her pass. While I actually was moved and touched by Emma and Hook’s farewell (something I attribute to JMo and Colin’s powerful acting chops), it will just be undone and lose its significance when he shows up in the finale in SB. Probably, they’ll be engaged by end of S5. *sigh*

Lily Sparks’ review is up: here! As always, she’s spot on!

From Lily
Hook was like, “You don’t have to do this,” and Emma was like, “And you didn’t have to die saving all of us from the Dark Ones!” and I was like, “And he also didn’t have to summon all those Dark Ones to take your family to Hell in the first place. Backing out of premeditated murder is not the same thing as saving someone’s life, you dum-dums.”
Bless you, Miss Sparks.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"From Lily Sparks:
Emma’s big plan to put half her heart into Hook fizzled in the face of the grisly, horrifying reality that the man beside her was actually an emo ghost, and Hook’s body was still in Storybrooke, quietly decomposing. This was a fairly obvious point a lot of us have been hung up on since the first episode of the back half of Season 5, but Emma had literally never even considered this. Embarassing, girl.

Also from Lily Sparks:
“So what are we still doing here?” Robin asked, the perpetual befuddlement of his expression deepening. “We are going to save everybody,” Henry announced. “And you are going to give your daughter to Zelena, your rapist, because I like her now because we played dress up once as kids.”

Alas, even though one of these explanations actually makes sense, I do believe they intended the other one.
I didn’t even watch the CS scenes properly because I knew they’d make me wanna puke. Played a game on my phone during every one of their scenes to distract me.

Oh they intended the CS one, to be sure. It was done in a clunky and silly way that doesn’t make any logical sense and really does a number on Emma’s mythology…but once again the writers get around canonizing it with TLK which just feels so strangely deliberate. I mean, if there was a moment for CS TLK it was the final goodbye scene at the elevator but *still* no rainbows.
They’ve been canonized but in the most watered down, absurd, underwhelming way possible.
