When did Robin get dreamed up? I know Arrow has been around since the 1940’s I think it was, so how much older is Robin – weird question I know, but google is not my friend on this ph .
About 1500s, but I thought earlier. I know there is a tree in Sherwood Forest, called the Major Oak and it supposedly was planted in Robin Hood’s time and it’s about 800 years old, but I might be wrong. Oh, I’ve just had a thought. King John was in power when RH was supposedly about, b/c Richard was off fighting in the Crusades. But whether the poems actually originated from that time, or they were just set during that time I don’t know. He’s a very old English tale/folklore/legend. 🙂
Here’s a little bit of Robin Hood history from Nottinghamshire council (who should know what they’re talking about;) ) http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/enjoying/countryside/countryparks/sherwood/sherwoodforesthistory/robinhoodhistory/

Ohhh! Stupid post didn’t post! I’ll try again
He’s an old English folklore/tale/legend. They’re not 100% when Robin Hood dates from, but somewhere in 1400-1500s. However, he is set around the time of King John and Richard going off to the Crusades – I’m not sure exactly when that was, I thought 1200s, but my English history isn’t great. I know there is a tree in Sherwood Forest called the Major Oak, which supposedly was planted in Robin Hood’s time and it’s about 800 years old. But there are odes and poems dating from around 1400s

*sigh* If my post comes through about 6 times I apologise. It appears then disappears. I don’t know what’s happening.

Haha, Twitter is awesome atm- CS’ers are doing their #top5CSmoments to date- I dont think my twitter account as been so full of CS pics LOL <3 When our ship gets all super positive 🙂
So on that note…. What is everyone’s top 5CS moments (mine is technically… ok, in reality 6 moments, as I cant narrow it down too just 5 lol)…. mine are (in no particular order)
“When I win your heart”- still gets me every time.

Tied with “If it can be broken, it means it still works”- which also still gets me every time 😉
Leaning into Killian when letting Killian into her painful childhood/past.

This bit in particular 😉
Date night, good night- from Killian giving Emma his jack, apologizing to her again for his behavior, asking her out, the kiss & Emma’s lovestruck door leaning.

Icecave hug & pick up.
Emma entwining her & Killian’s fingers & that whole Snowing’s apartment scene between Killian & herself.

Ahhh, thanks for that- I knew he was old, but wasnt sure how old lol (I did know he was quite a bit older than Arrow etc. though, as those guys seem to borrow off him in many ways).
I think it’s difficult to choose only 5 moments when there’s been so many great moments.
Every scene of them together in the season 3 finale was awesome. Just golden. The kiss outside Granny’s is definitely #1. I loved the moment from Breaking Glass, at the Sheriff’s station. Both really, but the one I really love is when Killian said that he wanted to know more about Emma’s beginnings. The date was beautiful. And I want Emma’s dress. She was just stunning.

Wow, you even narrowed it down to 6! 😉 I love all moments! Heheee
I’m not going to try and embed pics/vids b/c my posts seem to disappear when I do.
In chronological order:
1) Hand bandaging on the beanstalk – I don’t really need to say why, do I? 😉2) I agree with the ‘If it’s broken it mean it still works’ scene. The way they’re looking at each other, the blue filter, their warm breath mingling in the cold air, the snow and that moment where you think maybe she’s going to kiss him…. and she walks away. To quote Bart from the Simpsons, ‘If you look closely you can actually pinpoint the exact moment his heart breaks in two’
3) When Emma loses her magic when resuscitating him. Two parts in particular: the quiet almost inaudible ‘Come back to me’ and the ‘what did you do?!’ look of horror? disbelief? anger perhaps (he can convey a lot in one look) on Hook’s face as he realised Emma has sacrificed her magic to save him.
4) Hug at the ice cave. Both of them just clinging onto each other, perhaps thinking almost lost out on something they didn’t get a chance to start. Emma definitely comes out of her shell after that.
5) Can I put all the little glances and looks and silent conversations they give one another as one moment? I can’t pin it down to one, but all those little things are my favourites and they’re scattered throughout the three seasons. It shows they know each other so well and have always made the great team.

LOL- not gonna lie, it was hard getting it down to just 6, I had to be brutal 😉
The Emma resuscitating Killian would be in my top 5 too, but I couldnt knock the date scene out due to Emma’s reaction- That for me is the defining moment of Emma realizing she has tipped over the edge into full blown love (like TLK would officially work between them after that moment 😉 )…. UGH it’s so hard- because that scene, the hand bandaging scene, the “I cant lose you too” scene, The NL kiss (for Killian’s reaction), The butterfly kiss on the cheek, The “I’m here to ask you out” scene, The “Good” scene, The WONDERFUL outside of Granny’s “You traded your ship for me?” scene & Kiss, the “Be patient” scene, even the “actually, No I wouldnt have (abandoned you)” scene are all my favorites too.
