I haven’t watched the episode yet but it did disappoint me that a majority of the interviews coming out in relation to the episode came from Lana and not Jen. I mean, that makes no sense. It’s Emma’s backstory episode for this season and I realize it wasn’t Jen in the flashbacks but it still relates to her character and instead, all the interviews are from Lana.
I might watch the episode Wednesday evening. I’m trying to have an open mind here and not pass any judgements before seeing it but from what I’ve read, it does seem this episode was simply to put a definition on Emma and Regina relationship and appease the Swan Queen fandom.
But judging by the gifs from tumblr, there were good Captain Swan moments within the episode. So, I’m looking forward to seeing those.
Yep, the general consensus seems to be it was to appease the SQ & it did come off that way- sweeping 2 seasons worth of terrible wrong doing under the rug & expecting everybody to get on the whoa-is-Regina train was not a smart move by the looks.
We did have a couple of very sweet, touching moments, yes 🙂[adrotate group="5"]I didn’t mind Regina being all a bit huffy and annoyed, that’s Regina, she needs to blame someone and she needed to vent. On my second watching I didn’t mind the episode so much. And also, with Emma just standing there and taking it, that’s what friends do. Emma did exactly the same thing to Hook last season. She was all whiny and whingy and Hook was taking all her snark and sarcasm, but he stood by her. Just like Emma is going to try and stand by Regina.
Oh, no- I totally got why Regina was being a super *female dog*, thats just what many people have been saying online.
I too made the connection between Emma/Regina & Killian/Emma right away & understood why Emma wasnt biting back. I do have to admit, as I’ve already said, I wasnt a fan of Regina’s ranting though- given the context of the situation & what she has done to Emma, it felt more than a little hypocritical & hypocrisy drives me mental lol. I just FF her diatribe on my rewatching & the problem is solved for me lol. I’m what seems like, one of the few who actually ended up really enjoying the episode thanks to the Emma insights it gave us 🙂
I do agree with obisgril that only having Lana’s POV for the interviews did create biases against the episode with many though.
This scene is SO beautiful and SO important for Emma Swan. She’s never let anyone in like this before. She’s let them be part of their life, but never a part of her past. That’s a part of her she’s kept to herself forever. A part that makes her sad, vulnerable, alone. She’s kept it to herself because it feels safest to her that way. Letting her past out shows many things about Emma that no one TRULY knows. Not even her own parents.
For Emma to let Killian in like this… it’s HUGE for her. This is letting in someone and showing them everything you are. Showing them what lies in your past and makes you who you are. It’s not easy but she’s doing it. Because she finally has someone she can trust with everything that she is. She knows he loves her.
And what’s even more beautiful is the fact Killian knows how hard this is. He asks her if he could know more, because it’s up to her. He asks her if she is okay doing this, because he needs her to know he isn’t forcing this by any means, and if she needs time, that’s okay.
But she’s ready. She’s ready to let him in. And this step is very important in their relationship. And honestly one of the best moments I think they’ve shared yet.
Love everything that this person has stated, some really lovely insights & points about the scene 🙂

If one is to engage with the primordial forces of darkness, one must expect a little social awkwardness
