    That slowly built relationship you’re seeking? *whispers* It’s called Swanfire.

    THIS! Seriously. I know sometimes it can be frustrating to wait it out, but at the end of the day, their story will be more satisfying because it had the slow burn.

    LOL, I was going to share my latest post with you all tonight. But I see Heather beat me to it. WOW Thanks Heather! Honestly I hope it lifts everyone’s spirits up,

    LOVED your post, Luna! From a story telling standpoint, considering the themes this show is about, it just would make no sense to me if they killed Neal.

    Well I think it would signal a return to darkness for Rumple, and maybe that’s what RC wants as he likes to play dark.  Maybe it is storydriven in that sense but like I said in my earlier post, it seems such a waste of a character and potential.

And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass

    I think they could give Bobby other juicy stuff to work with, without having to make him go dark again. From today’s spoilers it seems that WW might have some sort of control over him. Maybe he’s still got his powers after all and she’s controlling him via dagger. Or maybe he’s powerless and she cast a spell on him. Either option would give him some interesting stuff to work with. And if he does end up losing his Dark One powers at any point, (and seriously, the undoing has to happen somehow and that will have to alter him in some way), he’s basically gotta reinvent himself and figure out how to get by and how to relate to everyone now and how to handle not having the same amount of control he once had. All of that could provide for angsty struggle for him, without them having to kill his son (or TL) to make him go dark all over again. I think Bobby would appreciate a new acting challenge, instead of just rehashing what Rumple’s already been through before.

    whispers don’t you worry, don’t you worry child, see heaven got a plan for you. Its just another day of filming, lets not panic. We don’t know what is going on. Give it a few days of filming before jumping over the proverbial cliff.

    The deep freeze has broken me because everything adds up to Neal being gone, Hook going after runaway Henry and now I’ve convinced myself that Rumple may be the one to do Neal in at the control of the WW.

    The weather and this show have destroyed me.

    Jo, I really don’t think the death is even happening in this ep. All logic suggests that it would be ridiculous to kill off Neal. I’ll honestly be shocked if they do kill him.

    I’m not jumping to conclusions just yet, from just one episode being filmed.I’m still holding on to hope

    Oh, it doesn’t have to be this episode. But I do think it’s Neal that is getting the ax (or dagger, or gunshot, or magicked). Maybe I’m trying to convince myself so I’m not as heartbroken when it happens. But I will still be sad. Okay, not talking about him dying anymore. Think happy thoughts.

    Like I said earlier, I stand by the theory that Neal is off with RH getting water

    If Neal is dead, wouldn’t it be a bit more emotional. Or literally would all the characters been there done that. Oh yeah Neal died been down that route before. No biggie so who is the new baddie, wicked witch you say. And if Henry’s is upset that his father had died, why is Hook the one talk to him (unless its force bonding time)Not his Grandfather, not his mother, not his other mother, not his other grandmother. It makes no sense for everyone to say lets just let Hook go talk with him? Sorry if not his mothers, then should be Charming job who also lost his mother and father and is the closets male father figure to Henry. So right not. I’m not saying its Neal. Neal maybe in trouble, he may even be hurt, but I just need more substance to say its Neal.

    I have been through character’s death before. But my problem, is If Neal death used as cataylst for CS and Hook/Henry bonding. (which could be viewed as slap in the face to CaptainFire/Swanfire Fans) that is where I would be disappointed. Because the story is telling you that Emma loved Neal and only way it could work for CS is Neal is dead? IF CS is “true love” there is no need for Neal to die, no need for Henry to lose a parent over. Or Rumple to lose a son, Or Emma to lose a love.There is no need to killed Neal second chance at happiness in service to another to find their happiness. It literally makes no sense to me in a story perspective. Basically the Neal dying would leave me with okay so now he is dead now, really, that was pointless. Could left him dead in S2 instead of all that talk of second chances, and hope and blah, blah, blah. Or you know what you could have let him move on with Tamara and she be a sweet loving wife (just saying). I just really have difficult time believing it Neal because it really just seem like a waste and that his story is suddenly cut off and empty. OR someone just seriously had a massive case of back space and decided lets change the story this way.

    If Neal is the one to die, then I seriously believe because MRJ asked to leave for what ever personal reasons. I can’t see any of this being story driven without it seeming like its fan pandering and fan service, which is just sad if it is. I’m still keeping my hope that Neal is still alive until proven otherwise.
