    Day 17- Favourite Storybrooke Outfit – Emma’s dress she wore for her first date with Killian. (The Apprentice, 4×04). I loved Emma’s pink dress. She was so beautiful. What I love about the dress is that it’s so different from previous dresses we’d seen her wear in past dates. The occasion is different too. It isn’t for a con and she made a point to ignore what was going on around her and focus on the date with Killian and have a good time. And Emma looked so pretty with her hair done up, the make-up and just really beautiful. I feel like her dressing up for that first date, this is the first time she’s showing the real her. Emma has so many walls that we rarely see this softer side of her and this dress is a statement that she can be this way and still be the tough Emma. And I love that. And both Killian and Emma put in a lot of effort to make that first date special.

    What do you all think of the newest Once promo for 4B?

    It makes me really excited for the second half. My initial thought are here.

    Now, for more spoilerly speculation:

    First, the apple. I think generally, we all know what the apple means. There is a curse. But it’s not a sleeping curse, interesting twist given how Maleficent is part of the QoD. So, here’s my theory. I don’t think it’s going to be so easy to corrupt Emma but the QoD and Rumple will need something to “jumpstart” the corruption. Enter the apple. The apple is cursed with darkness. Emma eats it and the darkness starts to gradually take over. I think Emma converting to darkness will be a slow progression (at least that’s what I hope). I don’t want to see corrupted for one or two episodes and by episode three, she’s back to normal. That would be incredibly boring and cliche to me.

    I want to see her genuinely fight against the darkness and for Killian, to help her against it. And here’s the beauty, the gem of the whole storyline: Killian was dark when we first met him in season two. He was full-on vengeance mode but at the end of the season, he chose a different path and eventually, it led to him reversing the effects of a dark heart (which is why it’s mostly red with a few black spots). His love for Emma reversed that. So, who knows better to really help Emma fight against the darkness, then a former pirate who did it himself? This storyline is so incredibly perfect for Captain Swan, for Killian. If Emma is cursed as I suspect she is, then there is almost 100% guarantee, we will get a true love’s kiss at some point this season (I think that might be in 4×18).

    Here’s another thing. Everyone remember season one episode, “Heart of Darkness” 1×16? So, 4B is basically ‘Heart of Darkness’ as a season-long arc. Snow drank a potion to take her away her love for Charming and in doing so, forgot who she really was. I think the same thing is happening with Emma (minus the potion). But Emma’s still cursed from the apple. And when there’s a curse, there’s only one way to break it. True Love’s Kiss!! Rumple will fail. The Queens of Darkness are going to fail too because villains never win. Our pirate is going to be the Savior’s savior. He’s going to fight for Emma to resist the darkness inside of her and when things get really desperate and it seems like Emma can’t be saved, BOOM!!! True Love’s Kiss!!

    Adam and Eddy are geniuses!!!!

    @obisgirl I think the apple refers to Regina and the QoD are going to use her somehow to try and corrupt Emma

    All magic comes with a price!

    It could be both. But apples on this show tend to be cursed.

    I liked the promo very much! I was thinking maybe they could corrupt Emma by the end of the season and next season Emma could be the big bad, with Regina and Hook and Rumple – all the previous villains – working with the heroes to defeat her/bring her back to the side of good. Might be an interesting twist.

    Having seen the promo now I am more interested in the QoD storyline. It really hasn’t been grabbing me, but that’s piqued my attention.

    Funny that I saw the promo and then caught up on the latest episode of Sleepy Hollow seeing Katrina go all dark. Kind of similar storylines.

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

    So this morning when I was reading through my tumblr, I came across this CS meta comparison with Buffy: The Vampire Slayer.

    It just gave me one more reason to love Emma’s upcoming storyline in 4B. Xander helped save Willow with platonic, friendship love. And I can see Once kind of pulling the same thing except with romantic love, true love between Killian and Emma. With Killian wanting to help Emma remember who she truly is, a hero with a good heart and this evil corruption is a curse that she needs to fight for herself, for her family and for him. Romantic true love will save Emma’s heart. I think we’ve already seen that love can reverse a dark heart, so I seriously do not see how the same thing can’t happen with Emma in this next half. I’m re-watching those last few episodes from season 6 of Buffy on Netflix now, fyi.

    And Colin is on his way to LA to do press for 4B.

    Happy Once Day everyone!!!

    We survived the hiatus. Don’t forget, there’s a recap or behind the scenes special an hour before the premiere. Jen’s narrating. I won’t be able to watch the episode at least until Thursday, so I’m going to work on my true love meta.

    Hi everyone!

    How did you like “Darkness on the edge of town”?

    I love casual intimacy between Emma and Hook. They are so in love. Loved Hook and Belle scene. It

    seems this half will be awsome for CSers.

    Anyway I am a  member of this tumblr group: http://momsforhook.tumblr.com/  Check it out. It’s a hate free zone.
