@Elle –
No biggie 🙂
It’s all good.I love hearing other ppl’s peception/opinion on things…we all see things in a diff way….it’s so very interesting to read other ppl’s thoughts on any given point 🙂

So Schmacky and Elle, thanks for your inputs but no matter what you’ll say, I see the things differently and Emma Swan has not earned my respect as of yet. She has been angry at the Charmings and she gave up this thing called ‘hope’ a long time ago and she didn’t give it to Henry either, until, obviously, he forced her to it. She does keep her walls up like probably everyone but they way she does it makes me annoyed, dont ask me why. All the time I watch OUaT I perceive her as a lost kid and just cannot get this image out of my head, just don’t see her as the savior.
Oh, and totally didn’t see the point of her attacking the poor apple tree.November 20, 2012 at 8:24 pm #161435schmackyParticipantI agree that Henry gave Emma hope more so than she gave it to him. And I do think Emma gave Henry hope but it wasn’t anything Emma herself did. It was just her presence. That was more about Henry than it was about Emma.
If you could explain why you believe she is still angry at Snow and Charming, that’d be great. Otherwise, it’s just hot air.
LOL@ poor apple tree. I think the point was to show Regina that she wasn’t going to be scared off by a “poor frame job.” Remember?

Maybe I already mentioned it here, but Emma also NEEDS to be the hero for Henry, because this gives her an ‘exuse’ too stay in his life and she can feel like she is something too him, she’s afraid that without it she will loose meaning to him.

This I’ve also mentioned before, but just have to bring it up again, sorry 🙂 The fact that she ‘steals’ apples from Reginas tree is a clue that she is the Golden Bird, from that fairytale (no one believes me on this tsk 😕 )
November 20, 2012 at 8:39 pm #161440schmackyParticipantI have no idea what the Golden Bird is so… wha? But anyway, haven’t they said before that Emma isn’t anyone else’s story? The closest thing they’ve said is that she has parallels to the Ugly Duckling but she’s not THE ugly duckling.

I completely agree. She says as much in Desperate Souls to Mary Margaret before her debate with Sydney. “If I’m not a hero and I’m not the savior then what part do I have in his life?”
November 20, 2012 at 8:45 pm #161441GrimmsisterParticipantThe Golden Bird is one of the two fairytales that ALL.. I repeat ALL !!!! of the text in Henrys book that we have been able to read, so it has to have importance.
In this fairytale a boy/prince goes to find the golden bird that stole apples from the royal garden, and the bird ends up helping the boy save the kingdom.
Plus it just fits in so many ways I cant list them all here.
November 20, 2012 at 8:50 pm #161443GrimmsisterParticipantAlso.. Yes they say she isnt an exact fairytale character, she IS JUST EMMA. But the bird/hero persona is that wall that she puts up so that she will have meaning because she thinks whitout it she will be nothing..

November 20, 2012 at 9:08 pm #161444GrimmsisterParticipantLook how in this picture she looks like an egg in a nest.[attachment=0:o80auj56]ouat-henrys-book-1×02-04[1].jpg[/attachment:o80auj56]
November 20, 2012 at 9:10 pm #161445schmackyParticipantVery interesting. I don’t think she’s the golden bird just like I don’t think she’s the ugly duckling but I definitely see the parallels. Cool.
November 20, 2012 at 9:15 pm #161446GrimmsisterParticipant😀 Dont get me started.
Her car is a yellow buggy
a golden bug
