Emma + Baelfire = Swanfire

Happy Thoughts!

Emma and Neal love each other. They both chose New York City as their HOME.

Here’s a pretty thing about HOPE.

Emma and Neal – Staring At It

[RumplesGirl]

At the end of the Wizard of Oz, they all get their courage/brains/heart back. In fact, they realize they never lost them in the first place, they had them the whole time. It just took the journey for them to figure it out. BOOM!

GAH. Lovely

@Mick

interesting!! she didn’t actually take Charming’s courage, just his talisman–his sword. If she needs Neal’s heart, his love, she’ll take the pendant. And I will FLAIL UNTIL I CAN FLAIL NO MORE

Oh gawd, it’s starting, all the “Neal’s going to died, get over it!” posts. I’m just going to stay huddled in this thread from now until next week. I still don’t think they’ll off him so quick. It would be very odd if they do. After all the death scenes I’ve seen on TV, storytelling 101 dictates you feature the character’s arc heavily before offing him at least. OUATiW had a lot of Red Queen’s redemption arc in 3 episodes before they killed her. Neal’s story has been held back for 3 episodes, now with another plot twist thrown in amongst everything else he has going on that hasn’t been resolved. I think my theory on the quest to get back Neal’s heart as well as David’s courage, and Belle/Rumples? brain, would be very reminiscent of the Wizard of Oz story. It would also propel Emma’s character in new territory in terms of character development. I’m kinda happy that they picked Neal to be the “Tin Man” he has an important part to play in the grand scheme of things. Of which we don’t even know what’s it about. Why does WW need these things??? What is her end goal??? She said to Rumple she’s been searching for something that even Rumple spent a life time seeking. And that it goes against his nature? I don’t understand what that means though…

RG – I’ll join you in that positive thinking and hopeful frame of mind because it makes a lot of sense in a lot of ways.

Gah. I think I would find this season much more enjoyable without the spoiler of doom looming over everything. At any rate, I really like RG’s theory and I think she might be right after tonight’s episode. The WW does seem to be ‘collecting’ things that represent traits from certain characters and taking David’s courage makes him very lion like but in a reverse way. If that pattern holds (which is certainly looks like it does from the promo), then Neal is the Tin Man (heart) and Belle is the scarecrow (brains) and she’s going to do something to each of them in that episode taking that quality from them. I also agree that Neal’s probably being controlled the WW and I bet that’s why he hasn’t been seen…he either knows his heart is gone but can’t do anything about it or he’s being controlled by the WW and is trying to fight back by staying out of sight. I don’t really know which way that’s going but my question now is why does she need those things? Is it for some type of spell? What is her endgame here and what the heck  is trying to do?! It’s all very vague at the moment but I think 3×16 may be the big episode to figure out what exactly she’s up to with this whole plan.

This sounds like it could be an amazing story IF THEY DO IT RIGHT. The lion, tin man, and scarecrow are VITAL characters to the Oz story and are also very important characters in Dorothy’s life. If Dorothy is Emma (which seems to be the consensus at this point), then NONE of these people are the spoiler of doom because that would seriously kill the hope in the story and take away from this Oz type of experience they’re doing in S3B. David will need to do something to get his courage back, Belle will need to use her smarts to help defeat the witch, and Neal will have to find a way to help without having his heart (though I really like the idea that the WW also takes a symbol of his heart in SB and has the pendent). They will all have to work together to beat her. Everyone seems to have a trait or characteristic from the Oz story except Hook…..and I don’t want to type this but he’s definitely the wild card here without an Oz persona and I think he will have to sacrifice his life in the end to help save everyone (perhaps even to save Neal’s heart). No way is Neal going to be the spoiler of doom though IF WE’RE RIGHT and I think we’re all on the right track right now. Again, if they do this right, this could be an amazing story so I REALLY hope they don’t eff this thing up!

BTW-Think about it….Emma as Dorothy may have to literally put Neal’s heart back inside his body for him. That’s like, the most porn type thing this show can do in the 8 PM hour for it’s couples 😉 and if we get that moment between them in the finale, then this ENTIRE MISERABLE spoiler of doom will be forgotten by me because that is BEYOND anything we could have ever dreamed for a SF reunion! Oh gosh, PLEASE let us be right….

I scared to touch twitter I like our little thread also what did you think of the cake?

[textbookone]

Anyone else curious about the scene in the promo where Belle and Hook seem to be barricaded in Gold’s shop, then Neal comes bursting (then falling) through the door? It really looks like some weird stuff is going on next episode (maybe more so than what they kept billing 3×14 as). Do they know he’s coming? Why do they seem to be afraid of him? It looks like Emma is on the phone in the scene where Neal falls over in pain in the woods. Maybe she’s warning them? I need sneak peeks NOW! 🙁

Going to put a link here about spoilers. You can read it here.

I’m with RG, I’m totally excited for next week’s episode! There is no way, NO WAY that they are going to kill Neal in one episode. That would be completely unfulfilling from a character perspective, but also from a writing perspective. If they were going to do it, they would do it right, I firmly believe it. Also, wasn’t there a spoiler months ago about a death that would be reversed? Could it be possible that we may think Neal is dead, only to be mistaken? I would think they weren’t talking about Rumple because that would be so obvious. I fear we may have some rough episodes ahead of us, but stay strong!
