Love this clip – "that wall you put up"

[eireland]

this is just such a great scene – I’m reminiscing in old seasons! 🙂

I love this scene too 😀
Notice the wall behind Emma. It has a big black bird on it. Snow looks at it when she says ‘there is that wall’
What do you think that means ?

I don’t know

but I love this quote it’s one of my favorite of the show and it says A LOT about Emma

This technically might not be a spoiler, because this episode I’m about to talk about has already aired, but I am going to spoiler block is anyways – it is from Queen of Hearts (209)…. I adore this scene because I feel like it tells us so much about Emma (obviously) but also so much about Mary Margret's reaction to finding out that Emma was her daughter at the end of S1… because she just knows that Emma is hurting so much and knows she has that wall.

Which is ALSO why my favourite scene in the entire show thus far is this scene between Emma and Cora… and this photo I'm about to post (oh, which is also my avatar) because it is like the exact moment that Emma realizes HERSELF that love is NOT weakness. Because I believe she has this wall up because she thinks that if she loves, she's weak. And if she loves, she'll get hurt… so Emma believes loves is weakness, right until the moment that Cora tries to yank her heart out and Emma finally discovers that love is strength!

The is originally why I thought that perhaps Cora only couldn't rip her heart out THAT one time, because Emma had just sacrificed her own life for her mother… so I thought that it was kind of like in Narnia/Harry Potter/the Bible when the person (or lion) is sacrificing themselves for the life of someone else, and that is why they don't end up dying.

However, I guess I don't believe this anymore after watching Eddie and Adam's official podcast about this episode. (Which, really, is good news… if Emma's heart can't get taken by anyone, that means that she is safeish from Cora and Regina… at least in this context).
