MRJ has such a big heart. He does nice things for people in need all of the time and is a spokesperson against bullying. I have no doubt that his being on the receiving end of a lot of senseless trolling and mindless cyber bullying had a lot to do with his speaking up against it. And MRJ is absolutely right. Neal did deserve better!!!

To me this brings up the topic of interpretative ambiguity in fiction more generally, especially in relation to whether the narrator’s actually reliable or not (Kurosawa’s Rashomon comes to mind). So I’m deliberately overthinking this, but let’s actually go back to the original premise of OUAT, and see how this might be analyzed. The Author was a concept from the start, right? I’m going to credit Mr. Lindelof with that one, I think A&E are just not that clever. So, OUAT is complicated because its premise is completely meta. It’s a story about telling stories — and about how the narrators of stories are always unreliable, get it wrong, distort, and therefore our fairytales and myths are totally twisted versions of what “actually” happened.
I’m not so sure you’re over thinking it, and I love your interoperation. I’ll just add that August W. Booth (aka Pinocchio) is totally a call out to Wayne C. Booth who coined the term “unreliable narrator” in The Rhetoric of Fiction. Hence, A&E are clued into this concept, even if it was proposed by their mentor, Damon Lindelof.

Sorry but I am rather creeped out by the fact that Hook “met” Emma while she was in utero. It’s just….weird.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"^ Seriously, what is wrong with some people? They actually think it’s somehow romantic that Hook, a centuries-old man, met Emma while she was in her mother’s womb?! That is some messed up Breaking Dawn crap! Probably the same people who find this recent CS development to be romantic are those who loved the Twilight saga. It reminds me of the super creepy concept of a werewolf “imprinting” on a newborn. *twitch* Also, how is it that A&E expect any of us to root for CS to tie the knot when they include a super creepy flashback of the day Captain Hook met an unborn Emma and her parents?! It’s almost like they don’t want us root for CS or something….

Could be worse, he could’ve “met” Emma at her conception.

Imprinting was the first thing I thought of too. Things you don’t copy/rip off/emulate: Twilight!
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Yeah, A&E are just ripping off Twilight. It’s probably a dumb marketing strategy to get the fans tweeting, even if it’s angry tweeting. *sigh*

I still dont count this as meeting, even though im sure they are going to push it as that. As i said in the other thread, neither of them are actually aware of the other. A&E are really trying to hard to make CS feel right or romantic. It seems forced. Gosh, at this point i would not be surprised if once Hook comes on screen, Snow says she has a funny feeling in her stomach that is supposed to be fetus Emma reacting to her future “love”
