ParticipantI also LOVED how it was Emma who closed the distance between them in the sheriffs office, by being the one to step into Killian’s personal space, that to me was probably the most understated show of character development I’ve seen for her yet. I mean, that was a huge step for Emma, to be the one instigating that closeness/lack of distance between them for a second time (1st being when she closed the distance between them outside Snowing’s ), but this time in public- in full view of Will, Elsa & Charming- That wall she built to keep people out, Killian is now totally inside it now
Yes… its so cute how she closes the space looking up at him sweetly… which come on who has used that word to describe Emma? lol. That’s why I think the pink girlie dress was perfect for this Emma. And while I cannot say one think bad on how Emma worked the Walsh proposal dress I think the CS 1st date was perfect for her first date with Killian
LOL, yeah- who’d have thought we’d be using adjectives like ‘sweet’ & ‘soft’ to describe Emma lol
As for the pink dress, I just saw Emma’s quote to Ashley used in a meta earlier this evening & I actually think it relates to her choice of dress as well
”People are going to tell you who you are your whole life. You just gotta punch back and say, ‘No, this is who I am.’ You want people to look at you differently? Make them. You want to change things? You’re gonna have to go out there and change them yourself because there are no fairy godmothers in this world.”
When fans have decided to define Emma as this guarded, walls up, kick ass savior & what she should be & should not be wearing, saying a feminine pink dress isnt Emma (defining her- as per Emma’s 1st sentence). She punches back & makes them see her differently by showing them (Emma saying ”No this is who I am” by making people see her differently/wearing the pink dress 😉 )

Participant’m afraid he is going to hold this close to the vest too… try and fix it himself… which will bite him in the a**. I really hope he goes to Charming at least and comes clean and they can try to work it out. Someone has suggested Killian go as a spy… i like that idea. As long as the Sheriffs department is on board.
Agreed with both points. I actually wouldnt mind if the Charming’s notice something is up & ask him about it- it could be a good way to show how he is an accepted & valued part of the family/community.

Is it true that Colin hasn’t been seen filming with Emma lately? I have been trying to avoid spoilers this time around but now I am paranoidI’ve read a couple rumours about that too. I’m not sure to read too much into it. But it did make me think that perhaps the reason we’re getting a lot of juicy CS action so early on in the season is to set up the relationship for a fall/major obstacle.
Well if the theory that was posted a few pages ago is anywhere close to correct (esp now we are getting an extra episode!), it wouldnt surprise me if thats how it goes down & we end up in angstville along with the OQ & Rumbellers lol – although that’d suck going into the midseason hiatus 3eps later, to have pretty much every faction of the fandom rolling in angsty drama for 3mths lol- ship or no ship, (have to laugh at that thought, as the other option is to cry lol 😛 ) I mean, talk about contrast already- all ships (aside from Snowing) currently in troubled waters, when only 4eps ago they where all in pretty good/calm places lol.

ParticipantThey did thank you
Might have to have a chat with RG & See whats up- might be Daniel’s still debugging or doing maintenance or something :/ So can you see the video now (I still cant) or can you see the link now? (I cant see the link atm) … its really weird!
No worries
I’ve swapped to my phone and it looks like they are kind of working. The link just turned into another embedded video. It might be different browsers. I’m using Firefox on my computer and Dolphin on phone.
Ok, thats weird- I’m using chrome on my laptop & still cant see a thing…might try explorer & see if that works (although I hate using explorer lol)
The fix for that problem is here. (Make sure you read the third post in that thread.) 😀
SFG
edit: it’s a chrome specific problem. 😉

ParticipantI think the angst will be ok though…as much as I’ve loved the first eps of the season, let’s be honest – we’d get kinda bored…eventually! As long as they don’t do the break up, will they-won’t they junk I’ll be ok with the angst. I hate the break up stuff….it’s a way for writers to be lazy while trying to keep the relationship interesting. So if it’s more them trying to figure themselves, and their relationship, out, angst away!
It looks like the posts are working now…well, the vids and links at least.

ParticipantI agree @jenna_b . I hate the they break-up, then they get back together, then they break-up again routine. I mean, do you know how much my soaps abuse the break-up scenario and with the same couple too?
Plus, with all the heart break Emma has gone through, I don’t want to see her and Hook break-up. And break-ups on this show don’t really last long anyway. Rumbelle have broken up like 2 two times and didn’t spend much time apart both times but still…I don’t want to see Captain Swan go through that.
I want to see Emma fight for Killian as he’s always fought for her.
By the way, I posted some pretty Captain Swan icons from last week’s episode.

ParticipantNice icons obisgirl!
Do you mind if I use one at some point? 🙂
(BTW, I think your numbering is a little off.) 😮

ParticipantSpeaking of the Sheriffs department : Killian is always working with Emma and Charming and seems to be of worth and not just tagging along as an observer. Maybe its time they hire him. They obviously need another person with all the magical nonsense that happens in that town. And then at least he makes some money instead of his criminal justice internship at the SBPD.
Oh, yes- good point! Deputy Jones has a nice ring to it dont you think? I’m totally into this idea now lol.
Now Rumples explanation about the thought of the hand being ‘tainted’ from his old life and how that gave Killian permission / an excuse to channel is inner Hook makes a little sense in theory. But not so immediate and with such force. Killian has worked so hard to be different and the things he does has been genuine. If those good deeds / actions are indeed genuine then his first impluse wouldnt be to unleash a left handed Hook in such a level of over reaction. It also doesnt make sense since the hand that was lopped off was that of a troubled greedy pirate but not the hate filled, revenge driven, at the bottom of his rum bottle totally cold hearted Captain Hook.
Agreed
To support the actions we saw play out i think A&E should have confirmed the hand was magicked.
I quite like the fact that it’s ambiguous. It’s given us a nice little discussion point. I’m still plumping for the double bluff theory, pretty much for all the reasons you said.
The other reason I think the hand *was* cursed, is that when they were at the Apprentice’s house, Rumple ordered Hook to rough up the old man and Hook didn’t have any hesitation, he just went all ‘grr’ and did it. The old man hadn’t done anything to Hook, so if the hand *wasn’t* curse, why would Hook be so eager to hurt him? The other instances were Hook grabbing Will b/c he spilled the drink on Emma, punching Will b/c Will shoved Hook off him and stabbing Rumple for obvious reasons. All those other times he stopped himself from being all ‘grr’ and was scared by what his hand did but against the old man it was Rumple says jump and Hook jumped. I don’t think his actions were just b/c Hook wanted to fulfil the deal.
Again, agreed ….
Yay I’m at the end of the posts I posted 2 days ago …. oh wait, no I’m not ….. almost thereOctober 26, 2014 at 3:17 am #287396surayya

“Can we talk about some serious symbolism? Emma’s leather jackets have always been her armor, right? She’s worn them as a sign that she’s keeping her guard up, protecting be heart.
But in the last episode, she was wearing KILLIAN’S jacket. As in… HE’S the one who protects her heart now” (via buttercupsandhooks)Also I wanted to point out this development: Emma came back to Storybrooke 2.0 with him, yes, but her walls were still up after so many disappointments and shocks within the last twenty-four hours. Besides, she didn’t feel that SB was her home yet.
This time, after the date, she trusts him to protect her heart, she allows him to be her own savior, her knight in shining armor until she reaches her home safely.
Because, you know, she can totally take care of herself.http://youseetherealme.tumblr.com/post/100671490208/can-we-talk-about-some-serious-symbolism-emmas
