Why was Emma was so surprised when Regina couldn’t remove Emma’s heart? Doesn’t she remember Cora being unable to remove her heart in S2? Emma thinks it’s because of the reveal that her name is on a gravestone, yet her heart is shielded because of her being born of true love. It seems like Snow would remember that even if Emma didn’t. So why did Emma even think the heart-splitting idea could work if she’s had proof in the past that her heart basically is shielded by the most powerful magic of all? I know, I know. My questions are pointless.

March 20, 2016 at 10:51 pm #319646TheWatcherParticipantI think what the show was going for was that perhaps if Emma was willing to let her heart be taken, it would work, but because its not working that means something is wrong, hence them finding out they hades has trapped them.

Then I remembered my questions are pointless.

I think Emma is the only one who can remove her heart, if that’s not the answer than Rumple was right, our questions are pointless!
Hehe…I’m loving the new PLOT!

March 20, 2016 at 11:07 pm #319657hjbauParticipantHa, i know. I was like right before they tried. This isn’t going to work. It’s Emma. No one can take Emma’s heart. Regina should try and take Snow’s heart and see if it work. Yeah, the writers don’t remember what happened on their own show.
March 21, 2016 at 5:43 am #319672AmdillaeParticipantI am not sure how many Dungeons and Dragons/Pathfinder players are on here but I was working on the assumption that Emma’s heart protections functioned somewhat like the spell resistance mechanic in that game .
Spell resistance in the game works like this, you always have a level of protection against magic being used against you but you can choose to lower your protection to temporarily allow for helpful magic to be used on you. The disadvantage is that that the protection is very much either on or off so removing the barrier even for a moment leaves you vulnerable to dangerous magics. I was thinking that the plot could have gone with Emma’s lower’s her protections only for Hades or someone to swoop in and attack while the opening existed.

March 21, 2016 at 7:17 am #319677RumplesGirlKeymasterIt’s a perfectly fine rationalization, @Amdillae
I just wish they’d say something in the show so that we weren’t all sitting here scratching our heads.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"March 21, 2016 at 7:53 am #319680PheeParticipantThis whole thing was so unbelievably stupid and it made them all look like morons. They were acting like someone trying to take Emma’s heart had never failed before. And then they didn’t even remember, and had to solve the mystery with some other explanation.
It’s…a word I can’t say on this forum.

This, I thought Emma’s heart couldn’t be taken against her will but she could lower the protection so to say and let someone take her heart if she wanted. If that were true, maybe she doesn’t wholeheartedly (such pun) want to split her heart and we are on the verge of drama how Hook in the end isn’t her true love and all that OR we get yet another storyline of Emma being closed off and how she needs to let people near her before she can hand over half of her heart.
