And here I was thinking he was called Killian as a nod to Colin being Irish. 😉

Not sure what the issue is with the quoing, but @Bo-Peeps re: Rhett Butler:
Ah, that would be perfect! I’m a huge fan of that book–not that I expect (or want, since it wouldn’t really fit) to see Gone with the Wind on OUAT, but I could totally see that. But it looks like the ending of this love story should be happier–Hook didn’t give up on Emma at just the moment when she realized how much she loved him. (Although I always imagined Scarlett succeeding in getting him back eventually… ;-))
none can take me / i’m the tower the world cannot fell / ’cause I’m stronger / when I know that you know me well
Epona :)~I hope she got him back as well. Scarlett would not be denied!
I think our Captain and Lady will have a lot of rough waves in Season 4. We’ve reached a great point, but no doubt Eddy and Adam will be testing them every step of the way, and torturing us as well. But I would be willing to let the Crown of Angst rest on Rumple and Belle or Regina and Robin.
I am going to try to fit Frozen into the weekend plans! Then I might be able to better figure out what A&E have got themselves into in the fall.
***Always in search of a good flock***
As much as I would love to meet more of Killian’s family, I think they’re likely all deceased now.
Remember, Killian is Rumple’s contemporary. They’re from the same period and we know Rumple is at least 300 years old.Anyway, I like Emma, Henry and the Charmings being his new home.
Agreed… although with A&E & their love of connections I wouldnt put it past them to have someone from Killy’s past pop up though lol 😛 Although I;d rather they give us a backstory on his abandonment- although A&E said he was telling the truth about it, so I guess they have no need to, unless current events call for it.
I have been reading some interesting theories on the little girl at the beginning of the finale, that got adopted, may have been Anna & Elsa got trapped in the urn after having grown up in FTL- Not sure I buy into them (I’ve just given a very simplistic over view of a few of the theories- so forgive me the lack of details- havent slept {so I’m somewhat jaded now it’s 4pm here}, as a neighbors housed burnt down during the wee hours of the morning- they are all fine), as how on earth did Anna get here & Elsa into a Urn & how would she even know Anna not know about Elsa & FTL…see seemed happy enough to me? Then you have logistics- how is it the rest of FTL was destroyed & all but devoid of magic/portals etc. Yet what approx 10yrs post curse hitting- while everyone is still ‘frozen’ in time, Anna is transported to land without magic? Although I guess A&E could spin it- they’ve made more outlandish things work lol & since they have said they will be staying true to the character/s laid out in the movie (so no evil Elsa), I’ll for “miss understood” rather than “evil” Elsa 🙂
So I know we have talked about the meaning of Killian’s name before but it really hit me hard the other day when I saw I post on tumblr about how one of the meanings of his name is church and what do you do in church? You go to church to worship, praise, and adore the Savior. But then it also hit me that the definition of “church” is “the house of The Lord” aka “the home of the Savior.”
That is so cool!!! Sometimes I’m a little slow on those things …If you are slow… that makes me glacially slow lol – I mean I’ve known what his name meant since his S2 “Crocodile” & what Emma’s name meant since whenever it was in S1, that I did the ‘names & their meanings’ list…. I feel like a total idiot for not seeing it at all lol, it seems so obvious now you point it all out! Nice catch!!! LOVE our Ship- perfect in EVERY way possible 🙂 😀 🙂
Very nicely said @obisgirl 🙂
& Epona, I feel your pain with the quoting- GRRRRRRRRRR! It’s such a pain in the backside, really missing being able to simply “quote” posts. It’s a pain also not being able to quote anything or anyone using ‘visual’ mode- I’m forever having to chop & change between ‘visual’ & ‘text’ mode, since you cant post images in text mode & to avoid having a bunch of stupid googly goop piled into my posts if using ‘visual’ mode (also cant rearrange sentence structures- or even a single word without fully deleting them & starting over)- which then requires editing to be legible :/ Then every time you switch between the 2 modes, you lose you place…. UGH!
Boy I’m a grump today lol (Just as well I watched the season season finale of Arrow night it aired- now that was heart wrenching- I almost couldnt get through it- I’m soooooooooooo grateful A&E didnt play with us like the PTB did with Olicity fans lol)- I need a sappy CS fanvid to lighten my mood lol *trots off to youtube to find said vid*LOL…LOL…. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *Takes deep breath* BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
OMG! So I go looking for a’feelgood’ sappy CS vid & instead I find a finale/CS humor vid & end up scaring the bejesus out of my cats bursting out laughing around 30secs in LOL! (esp at the clip after Killy’s “One of these day’s I’m going to stop chasing after this women” line ….*LOL just remembering it again*)
I don’t get the level of hate aimed at Hook during 3B. During season 2 and 3A, I get it, but Hook’s not done anything wrong in 3B. Aside from the Henry thing which, although I get that Hook was doing it with the best of intentions, he should’ve really let Emma or at least Regina or Snowing know what he was planning on doing so that Henry didn’t suddenly disappear on them whilst Zelena was running around. But aside from that one thing, Hook’s been alright during 3B.
It’s depressing to read all the negativity levelled against Once since Neal’s death. I get the sadness as he was a favourite for some people (And I know I was a bit depressed when Rumple died in 311 even though we knew they wouldn’t kill him off permanently, and 311 felt like it could’ve easily been a series ender which didn’t help at all. Funnily enough, 322 felt like it could’ve been a series ender as well but at least it ended on a much happier note). I just don’t get the hate against other characters and cries of them being OOC. Hook was obviously going to get hate because he was seen as Neal’s “rival” so it was inevitable, though the hate of him in 3B is unjustified IMO. I’ve seen complaints about how Neal would’ve jumped in the time portal after Emma without moaning about it, however, I don’t think Hook was moaning about it. He was just acknowledging that one again he’s going to dive into a potentially dangerous situation because of Emma. It reminded me of the 10th Doctor’s rant when he saved Wilf, he could think of many reasons not to do it but he knew he was going to do it anyway because that’s what he did, he saved people. Hook knew that he would’ve been better off not chasing Emma in general, but he was going to do it anyway.
I’ve also seen complaints about Rumple drinking the memory potion after hearing Neal dies as being OOC. I disagree with this completely and his drinking the potion could be spun in two ways. 1) It was one of those rare moments where Rumple did the right thing in order to preserve the timeline even though it would mean Neal died. This showed that Rumple did have the potential to be a hero and sacrifice his “happy ending” for the greater good. 2) Rumple drinking the potion was him being a coward. He wanted to forget the truth that his son was going to die after their reunion which is understandable. After all ignorance is bliss. So either way, I think it was in-character for Rumple to drink the memory potion rather than OOC or Plot device.
Neal was a good character and did have potential for further storylines such as Father/son bonding with Henry and Rumple, bonding with Belle, resolving the SF/CS triangle so there wouldn’t be any “he only died so CS could live” complaints. I wish Neal had lived, especially now with the introduction of Elsa, because FrozenFire could have totally become a thing. Even if FrozenFire hadn’t become canon, just having those two characters alive on the show at the same time could’ve set that ship sailing.
Neal’s death was only OOC if you consider him using Roland as bait to get to Neverland as OOC. If Rolandgate was in-character because it was the only way, then Neal’s actions in 315 were in-character too.
The only OOC moment I can think of in 3B was Regina’s “heroes don’t kill” speech to Rumple. it was so condescending and hypocritical especially as Regina then threatened to kill Zelena later in the same episode by ripping out her heart and crushing it if she tried anything again. Why give Zelena the chance, especially as the Mills women are not known to take second chances graciously? Threatening to rip out Zelena’s heart was pure Regina, the “heroes don’t kill” speech made Regina sound like a Mary-Sue in fanfiction.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of Felix@PriceofMagic Exactly! I don’t get the hate either…and the sad thing is, I’m realizing that this is retroactively making me really dislike Neal. I mean, because of reasons already mentioned several times, I never thought he was a great guy. But I did like seeing him with Henry, Rumpel, and some of the others too (although I don’t know if I was ever really able to buy Neal and Baelfire as the same person for some reason). But seeing all the hate from Neal fans toward not just the characters of Hook and, to some extent Emma, but also toward the writers and creators of the show, it’s hard not to associate that hate with the character of Neal, which I think is a real shame.
