Emma + Baelfire = Swanfire

It is like they are rewriting the Emma and Neal story, but actually doing it this time. Hopefully they won’t chicken out because five people on twitter think some other girl is more attractive then Cinderella 2.

Given the latest spoilers, I have a feeling that Emma will die in 7×2 .

Emma’s death would mean a lot of things. I think Emma may tell Hook to go be happy even if it’s without her (the way Neal told Emma to go find Tallahassee even if it was without him). I predict season seven will (in part) be about Hook picking up the pieces of his life after he loses Emma and finally reaching his potential as a hero without her to guide him. He’ll finally do the right thing and help Henry simply because it’s the right thing to do and not for any personal gain (i.e. getting Emma back for all Hook’s good deeds). It’d be the story that should have existed between Hook and Nealfire, his first de facto step-son, all those decades before.

Now at least Hook’s actions will have to stand on their own instead of him just being good because Emma can see him.

I think they should have killed Emma last season. Since they didn’t, it seems harsh that they might do it now when she is not surrounded by her family. Whatever they do at this point is either going to make no sense or will just be upsetting and disappointing.

Yes, the time to kill Emma was last season when she sacrified herself for her family; now it just looks like an odd writing and character choice. She may not be dead since she might have simply been turned to stone. Whatever the excuse for JMo’s exit, what has Emma even been doing this whole time? Did she just decide to retire from being the savior? I’m not convinced Emma does have another child (since there isn’t any evidence for it, just CS fan theory and wishful thinking), but suppose she does. Heaven forbid that she continues to search for her first child (even if he is Neal’s son and not the precious pirate’s). Even though Henry is grown, he still is Emma’s (and Regina’s son), and a mother never forgets her child. Please, don’t let it be that Emma retired from being the savior because she had another replacement baby with Hook the way Snow White and Charming did in season three. *heads desk*

I was going to post this in a different thread, but I’ll post it here instead.

Assuming Emma is dead, I’ve always thought that given enough time, a reformed Regina and Hook would make a good pair. They’re both parental figures to Henry, but beyond that they’re on the same page. Hook and Regina are recovering villains who both lost love, sought revenge, found love again, but lost it again. Maybe third time will be a charm. Regina said it herslf: she and Hook are a lot alike. They’re on the same wave length, and they don’t have to hide their dark pasts from one another. Emma helped make Hook a better man, but he always felt he had to hide his dark past from her to be worthy of her. With Regina, he wouldn’t have to do that. He could just be himself around her because she is in the same boat. Both killed their own fathers. They’ve both done unspeakable things, and at least Hook hasn’t killed a member of Regina’s family (that we know about). They could show their true colors around each other and not hide their dark secrets from one another (something Hook did from Emma when she caught him trying to destory his memory of murdering her grandpa). Plus, this interview with Lana and Colin happened this year at one of the cons.

I think they would deserve each other, but i don’t think Regina would put up with Hook. I just couldn’t imagine present day Regina putting up with Hook’s innuendo and just general crassness. They both are murderers, but Regina has, in the past, been more into the farm boy types then anything.

You know I’m not an apologist for Hook, but I don’t think Hook in season six really used innuendo or crassness (but maybe I’ve forgotten). His character did change some for the better, and there was even a bit of a redemption arc in season six after his resurrection in season five. (Though it was marred by Hook trying to cover up the shears of destiny and the fact that he’d killed Emma’s grandfather). Maybe if Hook continued on post-Emma by doing unselfish things to help Henry, then it could be a good thing for his character. I don’t think Hook would just have a fling with Regina, but given enough time, he might show Regina that he’s not just a crass pirate anymore but a guy who’s trying to do right by his step-son and step-grandchild for the sake of it. That could be what turns them towards each other.

Yeah, they could rewrite Hook for it. I don’t think they are going to start writing Hook as a member of the family. He is going to be the like buddy friend to Henry like he was those very few times with Charming. I can’t imagine that Hook thinks of Henry as his son or Lucy as his granddaughter. They could create that, but Hook has never thought that before and Henry just thought of Hook as someone who was allowed to exist in the same space as him. Also, if Henry was leaving town at 18 then he was only around Emma and Hook for 3 or 4 years and some part of that time he was staying with Regina. It has been fifteen, years since that for Henry, so i don’t think that really exists. It wouldn’t make sense characterwise, but, of course, these writers don’t understand anything about people, so they could just make this happen because they want to. If Emma can date Hook, which made no sense, then Regina can.

I’m not sure if I can write about 7×1, so I’ll put in in spoilers to be safe.

I read on Tumblr that cursed Adult Henry believes his wife and child died in a fire. That sounds really sad, but the heavy SF symbolism really struck me too. Remember when cursed Emma and kid Henry believed they had moved to NYC because a fire had destroyed their home in Boston? Remember all the nods to fire, as in Baelfire, like the fire escape and Emma lying to Henry about his dad being a fire fighter? Now here is adult Henry, the son of Baelfire, all of these years later tragically reliving the kind of heartache that his own parents suffered after being tragically parted because of Pinocchio, a curse, and Emma’s role as the savior. *dead*
