So, you know the scene where Regina and Emma arrive at the library to take down dragon-Maleficent…We knew it was the library because we’d seen it a couple times at the beginning of the season but it makes what Emma says to Regina once they get inside more amusing because of this gif set:
oh, Emma!Then, of course there’s also that scene in Mr. Gold’s shop when Regina and Emma go there for his help and he shows her Charming’s sword and she says, ‘What’s that?”
Like you can’t tell it’s a sword, Emma? Really? I knew it was a sword and we didn’t get to see it.
[adrotate group="5"]Great gifs! And YES, my thoughts exactly!
On the sowrds: maybe, because she’d just accepted there was magic, she expected the sword to be, well, something magical?
On the library: it didn’t really look like a library from the inside. Didn’t see any books, just that weird locker.
But yeah, not her best lines, lol.
I got the impression Emma’s questions rather than literally asking what or where they were was going, okay, how is THIS going to have anything to do with what we’re doing? So yeah, an abandoned library wasn’t going to save Henry so “what is this place, REALLY?”
What I found hysterical is that after seeing a guy turn to wood, a WALL lifting up to reveal an elevator had her go “Whoa?!” Really? That MAKES you whoa? Something any old garage door opener could do. 😆
And then the sword, “Okay, so it’s a sword. Why would I need or care about a sword?”
Yeah, but she’s been the sheriff a few months, yes? Wouldn’t you expect a sheriff to have a working knowledge of the major public buildings in town, especially one that size, and to ask why a library is chained shut? Since there’s no “for sale ” or “condemned” sign, I ‘d be asking why taxpayer dollars are going to waste on an unused building.
I got to say, though, that reverent tone and the sympathetic look from Gold when he answered the sword question made the phrasing of her question irrelevant to me. Just the thought that Emma was going to jump right in to her father’s dragonslayer role, and get to use his sword, gives me a shiver.
I think that Emma was in shock. She has just learned it was all true. That this was really the evil queen and just seen Pinocchio turn into wood, so it is like what is this place really. I don’t think it is really a library. At the least it is the entrance to the caves. And i think the sword question is pretty much like what am i supposed to do with that. Emma was in shock and just going on nerves at this point so it worked, in my opinion.

Who says they’re funding an empty building? I’d think lack of funding would be WHY the building would be locked up. In the current economy having only ONE boarded up building in the whole town is doing pretty good. “Why’s the library boarded up?” “It’s not in use.” Doesn’t mean they have to sell it or knock it down rather than just wait for some funding to open it again.
I don’t think Emma’s under the impression that there’s a fine well-balanced budget in Storybrooke under Regina’s watchful eye anyway. She already knows Regina makes use of funds with no regard for the rest of the board getting to vote on it first. Not that the board seems to care.

True.

The thing about the sword though, before we saw it, I knew it was a sword and seriously, she can’t tell what a sword looks like? 😆 😀 ’cause if you take that line literally, that’s what it implies when clearly, yes, it was a sword.
I don’t think you should take it literally though. It doesn’t make sense literally. It makes sense because she was in shock and she was thinking what in the world.
