ahem, off topic but this joke comes from my 12 yr old daughter who asked me to share: “What do you call a basket with a picture of Neal on it? A Baesket. ” Sorry. (not really sorry)
*chuckles* … I’m going to blame the fact I did laugh out loud at this on the all cough meds 😛 You can tell your daughter well done 🙂
First of all: get well soon, Surayya and Jenna_B! And I agree with everyone else that that was a really lovely essay, and like Jenna I definitely never noticed the empty chair thing either! I’ll definitely be watching for that when I go through S3 again now that I have the Blu-Rays. I think I missed a lot of stuff toward the end of that episode because I was so irritated by that last part with Blackbeard (optional bonus rant below). I mean first of all, clearly mermaids can swim at lightning speed–we’ve seen evidence of that several times, and at the end of this episode Regina says “At the rate mermaids swim, she’s probably already there.” So in a matter of hours (maybe even minutes, I’m not sure!), Ariel could have gotten from Storybrooke to some obscure island in FTL. At that rate, of course she would’ve been able to find Eric before he starved to death! She clearly had no problem just looking on every deserted island in the EF, since that’s what she did, and he was fine. Secondly, if he really wanted to prove that he was still a ruthless pirate or whatever, surely Hook would’ve just tortured the information out of Blackbeard. I mean come on, just because Blackbeard said there were only two options–give up the ship and get Eric or essentially kill them both–didn’t mean that that was the case. Blackbeard was the loser; he wasn’t really in a position to be dictating terms!
Thanks & agreed on the Blackbeard thing as well- I actually thought Ariel was the one being rather selfish there, why should she expect Hook give up everything he has in the world for her, when she has the means & will find her man after she’s told he’s on an island somewhere- even if there was no food, how exactly did she plan on finding him after Hook handed over his ship, totally lost his reputation & therefore his ability to lead men & make a living (even if it was pirating)?….. oh that’s right swim off & live HEA, well Killy was left standing with nothing & no one… but yeah, sure, he was totally the selfish one in that situation
And I think I have been immersed in this fairy tale land way too long, last night I had the weirdest cross over dream between Frozen and that new Tinkerbell and the Pirate Fairy movie (which I haven’t seen!) but in the middle of some weird body swap thing between OUAT Elsa and Hook (a la Pan and Henry) I have an animated Tom Hiddleston as the young Capt Hook with his all singing and dancing naval crew popping up in the middle of it all. I’m not sure what was going on. I woke up feeling very confused.
LOLOLOLOL- whatever you are taking, I want some too 😉 LOLOLOLOLOLOL

August 28, 2014 at 10:30 pm #281156ellemo78ParticipantOhh I love those shoes! I read ‘crocodile heels’ and thought you meant crocodile leather, but they are freaking awesome!! So so cute! 😀
If one is to engage with the primordial forces of darkness, one must expect a little social awkwardness

Hehe, that’s how I read it (“Crocodile shoes”), before I saw it as well lol 😉 & yes, they are awesome! I’d take a pair- either with crocs or even better dragons 😉
August 28, 2014 at 10:44 pm #281159obisgirlParticipantSomeone put up the audio commentary for 3×22. Not sure how long it will be available, so if you don’t have the DVDs or BluRays (like me), download and save. This is with Adam & Eddy.

OH, thank you!!! Will do that now before I pop out to docs 😀

You know, that had occurred to me recently but slipped my mind while I was writing that post…I mean, think about it: Someone you don’t really know comes up and says that the person they love will die if you don’t give up literally everything you have. Your house, your assets, your reputation and thereby your career and your friends, everything. Would you do it? Theoretically sure, someone’s life should be worth more than material possessions, but the reality is that people do have basic needs and I’m betting a good 99.9% of the population wouldn’t voluntarily destroy their lives for a stranger. For someone they love on the other hand…well. We know how that goes. 😉 (Also–if he’d given up the Jolly Roger then, how would anyone have ever broken the second–or third?–curse and stopped Zelena?)
August 29, 2014 at 6:19 am #281165surayyaParticipantNot at all CS related, but wanted to take a moment to say Georgina Haig is FRIGGN AWESOME! Oh how it’d be so darn nice for certain other cast members to be free to unleash their sarcastic wit when asked about stupid stuff or criticized for not saying what the questioner wants to hear 😉
August 29, 2014 at 6:26 am #281166surayyaParticipantHoly Friggn DejaVu Batman! Scrolled down this page & was totally weirded out by a mega blast of deja vu… o.O Creepy.
