I agree Bo. People like that anyway are never going to change. They’re set in their ways, so why bother right? It just adds to our frustration when our ‘ship is a happy, fun awesome place and no one can take that away from us.
[adrotate group="5"]Hehe guys- even Henry’s wardrobe pointed towards CS happening 😉 Check this out …
A&E I see what you did there 😉
Not sure if this has already been posted here, but I really enjoyed it- full of CS goodness 🙂
I wanted to thank you, Killian.
After recent interviews where writers confirmed Colin O’Donoghue and Jennifer Morrison “just went for it” in that scene, it provided further validation that these actors not only know exactly what they’re doing, but they both have such a profound understanding of their characters that their meticulous acting choices say even more than their words. The fragmented moments where there are pauses or particular ways in which they’re searching the other’s expression says a prodigious amount about what they’re trying to tell one another. In this scene especially, both the words and expressions beautifully showcase just how much these two care for one another.
Yes, Emma’s called Hook by his real name before, but each of those were immensely different than this most recent time for numerous reasons. In the beginning it was because of Henry then the scenes following were instinctual, and the one other time that meant a great deal was when he was drowning, but he didn’t hear it.
This time, Emma intends for him to hear it. She didn’t even call him Killian back at the Enchanted Forest and while Hook’s somehow easier to say, and she’s more used to it, she’s making sure he knows she sees him as a hero. The playful and sincere change in Morrison’s tone and facial expression are what validate that she needs him to hear his name coming out of her mouth — she means every single word. It’s different this time, and she sees him as the man whose love for her has encouraged him to become. She wants him to understand that she’s finally accepted the feelings she’s been fighting to ignore since I personally believe back in Neverland after their first kiss — she’s fought him off for so long, thanked him a few times, but this time she needs him to know that she means it from the very depths of her soul and she’s trying to articulate it in the best way she can.
And though the way she says his name this time is much different than the times before, the camera pans to Killian’s reaction because directors wanted this to be seen. The gratitude and heart in Morrison’s voice is meant to be heard while O’Donoghue’s expression is meant to show that Killian realizes just how special this moment is. This is Killian finally hearing and knowing that she’s not just starting to see him as a man of honor, but that she officially does. This look in O’Donoghue’s eyes along with the change in his expression confirm that of all the times his name has come from his lady’s lips, this one means the most — it feels and sounds most passionately organic. Of all the times she’s called him by his first name, none have come out like this, and he realizes just how much Emma actually values him.
This very moment, the pause and steady eye contact is Emma making sure he knows just how much she means it. She wants him to take this in and understand that she acknowledges that none of this could’ve been possible without him. She wants him to see that she knows he’s a great man. After this moment, things get a little more whimsical again. Just as Killian always strives to inspire Emma to see herself the way he sees her, in this scene Emma is doing the same. You could see it from the amount of heart that’s reflected in Morrison’s eyes because as she’s always stated, Emma finally has someone who elevates her and in this moment, she’s giving him what he’s always given her — truth, strength, and affection.
