ParticipantRumple fathered Bae before he became the dark one. Therefore the “dark genes” shouldn’t really affect Bae because he was conceived when Rumple was a normal man.
That’s what I thought too. But the fact that Pan said that Henry was a child of darkness counteracts that, because Henry came from Bae, who came from Rumple. I’m not sure how it works. But this is A+E’s show, they know what makes sense to them.
What i’m getting from Pan’s statement is that maybe Henry is acting as some sort of balance good and evil. It’s obviously important to Pan that the HoTTB came from both light and darkness. Not sure why that is, but can’t wait to see!

that was my initial reaction but when you stop and think about what Jane said and how cancer works it makes sense. Cancer can be caused by a mutation in your genes. Like when something in the environment causes a change and you genes become altered in the cancerous cell and that cell multiplies like crazy. Certain chemicals and radiation can do that. Sometimes the gene is already there and somewhat dormant and than triggered by something. Think the breast cancer gene.

Yep I agree. And I should know, since I use chemistry everyday for a living. Lol.
I just had an EPIPHANY earlier. Well it’s not that amazing. I was talking about next weeks episode being a Neal/Rumple centered episode and how it will probably be paralleling their “Nasty Habits”. And then I said that there would be a contrast with episode 5, which is called “Good Form” and is a Killian (and Emma?) centered episode.
The names of the episodes are the complete opposites of each other. Perfect for comparison/contrast. And isn’t that interesting? 😉

ParticipantInteresting observation indeed.

ParticipantVery interesting points!
I would have thought environment would have altered Bae’s life moreso than the actual genes changing. He was raised (not for very long but in a very traumatic way) under darkness and it clearly stuck with him.
I’ve actually been waiting for him to change quite a lot since he’s not really acting like the Bae we know and love, but he’s not quite as…deranged? as I expected him to be after going through what he did. It’s almost like his personality change was on hold too, not just his age for a long time. At first he seemed to stay his normal sweet self.
Even after coming to our world, he only did what he had to to survive and wanted what everybody else did: a home. He considered the Darlings his family (I hope we get more on that later cause he wasn’t there for very long). Then all of a sudden he *seems* be just a nice thief but is now getting DESPERATE like his father and we know what desperate souls are capable of as we’ve seen it many times before.
I was shocked and dismayed when he used Roland as bait. It was a good plan and a great way to get to NL but we know there are technically other ways like beans even though they’re rare and he supposedly used the last one centuries ago. He listed off a multitude of ways to get there though and chose to take the easiest path that put a young boy in danger so that he *might* be able to get to his little boy. Seriously?
It wouldn’t surprise me to see him becoming more like his dad before coming back down from it. I just feel like he’s never really behaved like he had gone through all of that stuff except for whining about it (and Henry can be the same way which concerns me at times but he’s mostly good). I think Henry’s light is far more effective than the dark he gets from Rumple & Bae but they are prone to it more and Henry knows the consequences of it better. That said, who knows what will happen with him should he become a desperate soul himself someday! After all, the kid who is apparently supposed to save magic tried to blow it up once!
COMPLETELY AGREE about Tink. There is most likely some major unrequited love going on, or they’re friends and they both seem a little flirty but she is bound to know his history and she’ll have to realize that he gave all of that up for EMMA and we know he never gave it up for Tink. Basically, Tink is our Cora as in, she clearly didn’t matter or Rumple wouldn’t be with Belle. NO WORRIES!
From her outside perspective, it HAD to look like 2 couples in front of her. She doesn’t know anything except Hook and Regina and she was watching Hook & Emma where Hook COULD NOT TAKE HIS EYES off her and was being HELPFUL again (and beyond adorable – the man has it bad and it is SO obvious!).
Captain Eala – that is a beautiful epiphany! You’re absolutely right. Nasty Habits is supposed to be very Rumple centric but it now looks like it will mostly be a Rumple/his dad, Rumple/Neal parallel story where we get something on all 3 of them and it does have an interesting name. They could have outright used Bad Habits or they could have picked something else, so this is a little…off to the side? Probably recognizing that they need to stop being this way but at the same time, still not allowing themselves to fully give it up either. Just acknowledging that it’s not a good way to do things does not make one stop and they have all had good reasons to. I think the fact that it is back to back with Good Form which is Hook’s ep will be big!
To me, it’s too early for Rumple to completely give everything up. I don’t think seeing his son show up there will do anything but give him someone to team up with (finally) but since Neal is getting desperate and his father thinks he’s going there to die so will do whatever it takes to save Henry, I’ll be SHOCKED if their plan involves doing anything the “right” way or the “hard” way and it could easily help one or both of them spiral. I don’t think Neal would ever get to the point that Rumple is in since he’s hated it SO much for hundreds of years…but he’s embracing magic and sympathizing more with his dad now than he ever did so…it’s at least a possibility.
Good Form on the other hand…bring onnnnnnn the captain! I really really want to know more about Hook’s backstory and I think we’re supposed to find out why he and Emma are such kindred spirits! I’m still holding out hope that he’s a bit like Westley from Princess Bride. He’s always had that Dread Pirate Roberts vibe for me and I love the idea that maybe as a kid he was just a farm boy that got swept up in sailing the seas with his dad who then abandoned him. It would be a nice little tie-in with Charming having been a shepherd and I still think that Killian was good and then was led down a middle-of-the-road path with his dad and then the pirate thing. He was never a saint as a pirate but he has a code and we haven’t seen anything to suggest otherwise. Emma brings out the genuine goodness in him (and the genuine smiles which I am totally loving!). Can’t wait to see his backstory so that we can find more parallels!
LOVE the fact that these two episodes are back to back! It makes for good comparing/contrasting. Last season we had them within the same episode and compared within how they were with her but this should branch it out even more. Interesting that they’re doing it in that order. Wonder how everything connects to present day. We won’t get a really good comparison for present day until he reunites with the group and Emma can actually SEE the difference in how she’s treated under the same circumstances, but Hook has been gaining tons of subtle points during the trip so far and she has to know he’s got her back no matter what and she doesn’t have to doubt that. I think when Neal shows up and things get very tense, especially if he berates her for even spending time or looking chummy with Hook, she’s more likely to blow up and acknowledge that he doesn’t know her now and she’s not that 17 year old anymore. I see her being given a lot of reason to defend Hook unless Hook and Bae ended up on better terms than we saw.
SO excited for these next couple of episodes especially! This season has been amazing so far and the more info we get on both guys the better. I’m hoping that an epic love story for Emma becomes more and more obvious down the line to the point where it’s inevitable that they’re proven as True Love. ALL we have seen this season for Hook is how devoted he is to Emma and is doing anything and everything he can to help and doing it in the RIGHT way and sometimes taking the tough route to get there but being 100% supportive of Emma and not only looking out for her but her loved ones as well. He’ll have a bond with at least Charming by the time Neal shows up which can only help us cause I’d like to think Charming would look at it and back Emma up that Hook has been helpful. Especially if he starts observing Emma with Neal and gets concerned after seeing her treated SO well by Hook.
I don’t think Charming and Snow have any idea what Emma’s been through with him. Snow has to realize that Emma was panicked when she saw him and that she didn’t want him anywhere near Henry but apparently that got tossed out the window and Snow is blind to Hook because she just doesn’t want him near her little girl. She doesn’t KNOW the past so she can’t really compare either way. She’s only ever seen Neal as engaged to Tamara and being good with his kid (which he mostly is). To Snow, it would unite the dysfunctional family and bring PEACE between them all and Rumple. Did I mention how much she doesn’t like Hook? He’ll have to grow on her but I think once she sees Emma and Neal together a bit more, especially now that Neal too is going around professing how he cares for Emma, Snow might get a different idea – especially if Emma asks for details on just HOW he got to NL or brings up any of their history really. He’s been avoiding it even in his confessions to Mulan so I’m not sure why I should think he’d give straight answers now with Rumple in his ear (and you know he will be since he sees him first).
As for the “roasted swan” thing – Rumple didn’t know about Bae’s relationship with Emma…AT ALL. If anything, it was a line about Regina going up against a Swan. Where the roasted part comes in I’m not sure, but I agree that it was anything but romantic since the swan was dead and about to be eaten. The only thing I could think of was what we’ve talked about with Emma rising from the ashes in Phoenix after her jailtime and coming back stronger and becoming a force to be reckoned with but I really think the reason it amused Rumple was because it was the only victory Regina would have over a swan.
I’m really liking the idea of Henry being “the balance between good and evil.” It makes total sense that he would be the one that would be able to save magic because it would save both dark and light magic. Makes me think of Charmed and how sometimes they’d have to get help from the other side to contain something super powerful. Sometimes you need someone in the middle that is neutral so that one side or the other doesn’t get too much power.
It’ll be interesting to see how things work out since Dark One Rumple can be pretty intense, especially without Belle around to bring him down a notch. Likewise, Snowing is so “infuriatingly optimistic” and good most of the time and then Bae & Emma are borderline in between but starting to embrace who they really are which could..go a lot of ways. Emma is borderline embracing being a hero and the savior and is all about doing things the right way vs the easy way right now which tips her to the light scale (not that she was ever really dark even when doubting herself and panicking) and now we have Bae who could easily slip into his father’s shoes now that he’s so understanding of it and making highly questionable decisions like risking Roland’s life. I don’t think he’ll slip quite so far down like Rumple has since he grew up hating it so much, but if he’s starting to understand and sympathize with and make similar choices without thinking about the consequences, it could become a problem. I hope he doesn’t, but we’ll have to wait and see. Since Emma does lead toward the side of light like her parents, even if she’s not quite on their level, it would stand to reason that if Henry is some balance between the two sides that Neal wouldn’t exactly be leaning toward light. PP did say that Henry’s mother didn’t meet “the spawn of the Dark One” by accident so there must be something to it. He may not be as bad as Rumple, but he’s starting down a slippery slope that has me concerned.
(Who else thinks the Roland thing isn’t over yet? I mean, the kid was about to say the words before they were ready for him to. He is FOUR. It made something crazy happen just by saying the words. He’s now sleeping under the window. What are the odds that he DOESN’T say it again and risk getting taken to NL? I’m seriously concerned! He’s adorable, and he’s Robin Hood’s son which means that eventually, Regina will be in the picture as well. I can’t imagine ANYONE from the JR5 being ok with the kid being put at risk. I’m wondering if Roland DOE S call out again and Robin somehow goes in his place to save him. It could be how Robin Hood & Regina meet since we know they’re supposed to be soul mates. But I’m seriously worried about the kid).
Here’s hoping we get something good next week again, even if it’s just subtle little moments or knowing looks from some of the group! Regina’s boyfriend comment is bound to get under somebody’s skin, especially if Snow does start paying more attention to them and trying to figure out what Regina was thinking. She’s been ignoring it so far, too preoccupied with Charming I guess lol, but I could see her asking Emma if there’s something she wanted to tell her. We didn’t even SEE Emma’s reaction to Snow saying that Neal just died, we saw Regina’s. Emma didn’t exactly say Regina was wrong either…she just kept quiet, but she definitely was NOT trying to stay away from Hook after that to get rid of that impression!
I’m going to be optimistic since I love the show AND the ship that next week will be good. We’ve seen seeing our ship slowly building but making lots of headway this season and on the bright side, we get a promo next week for the ep we’ve all been waiting for! So excited!

ParticipantThe “Nasty Habits” and “Good Form” comparison thing will only work if Rumple and Bae are paralleled in 3×04. I think they will be though. Again, I could be wrong! Although I called the upcoming kiss just after 3×02 and we got confirmation on Saturday (99% sure with the tweet from Matt) that we’re getting a CS kiss. We called that 3×02 would be a Snowing/Captain Swan parallel. I have to be honest, even though we CSers analyse the crap out of everything we have very often been right.
We’re going to get a conversation about Emma between Tink and Killian soon, i’m pretty sure about that too. I CANNOT wait to see how much he reveals to her. And 3×05 is going to be SO FREAKING AMAZING i’m pretty sure I won’t be able to sleep the night before with excitement for the kiss. I REALLY hope too, like I said, that Emma will be the one to initiate it.
Oh yes, as to the Pan “not a coincidence” thing, well I think it’s fairly obvious that the Emma and Neal pairing was orchestrated, possibly by Pan himself, especially with the line from Manhattan about “forces greater than us” if you get my drift. Henry isn’t a TL child, I feel that Pan would have said it if he was, he knows a heck of a lot about things he shouldn’t.
The Roland thing definitely isn’t over, all magic, which A+E equated to taking the “easy way out” has a price, and it looks like poor Roland will pay it. I suppose RH has to meet up with Regina somehow, and that’s the only way I can see it happening.
I’m not too worried about Snow’s reaction to CS, although I think that Charming will be more receptive to the pairing than she is at first. Snow is too full of compassion and empathy to hold out for long, LOOK how many “second” chances she gave Regina! Although she isn’t going to notice any time soon, not with Charming telling her he’s dying next week.
Don’t worry, we’re going to get some stuff for CS next week, even if it’s subtle. They’re building up to a KISS after all, and trying to establish a triangle. Even if I don’t think that triangle will be an equilateral one, if you get my drift. Emma is going to chose Killian. I have 10000% faith. It’ll take a while, but we’ll get there!
Seriously, when they kiss, I don’t think my brain will be able to function for at least a week afterwards.

ParticipantSorry about the spoilers RG, sometimes completely forget to check before I post!!!
On the Neal thing, I just want to say one last thing about it and then i’m done, i’m seeing a lot of stuff on tumblr about how the situation was managed so that Roland would be safe. I disagree completely naturally. You can’t be absolutely certain that your plan is going to work, you just can’t. Some of the blame does lie on RH of course, allowing himself to be manipulated.
The bottom line of it for me is that Neal dangled Roland like a carrot for the Shadow to come and get, and I just wish some people would stop trying to sugar coat it. I understand Neal’s motivations, yes, but at the end of the day, there was nothing honourable, moral, selfless, noble, taking-the-hard-path or anything else admirable about his actions.
I’m pretty sure that the JR5 are going to find out about it, especially if RH makes it to NL, and I don’t think Emma will look favourably on those actions. But that’s just in my opinion.

ParticipantAs I was reading all the posts regarding Henry being the product of light and darkness, I thought about Rumple and Bae/Neil sharing the same genes and how they are passed on to Henry. What if the original source of the “dark gene” actually came from Rumple’s father? We don’t know a much about Rumple’s father other than it’s not good. Rumors are he’s a coward, he is a fugitive, and who knows what else. He could have passed the gene to Rumple, which would make him susceptible to the darkness when he was a desperate soul and would account why he is obsessed with keeping the dark magic at all costs. This gene would be passed down to Bae, and even though Bae was conceived before he became the dark one, I would say the dark gene did not mutate, but was passed down to Bae, and now to Henry. So as mentioned with the breast cancer gene, it can take a trigger to become a cancer. Rumple’s was the dagger. What could have been (if at all) the trigger for Bae/Neil and what may be the trigger for Henry if he should succumb?
Don't grow up. It's a trap.
October 14, 2013 at 5:43 pm #215888MysteryKat25
ParticipantCompletely agree.
For the record: I do love Bae. It’s Neal I have massive concerns about, especially with how desperate he’s already becoming and how desperate he’s likely to be if/when he joins them and finds Emma being close to Hook (even without picking up on a romantic connection he’s probably not going to like it, especially since his mission right now is to say he loves her which she is sooo not ready to hear at the moment).
I can defend just about any character and want them to find redemption and love and happiness so it drives me a little nuts when Hook is painted with this horrible brush but Regina and Rumple’s actions (which are far worse) are just glossed over. If they can ditch their pasts and focus on who they are today (which uh, includes Regina VERY RECENTLY trying to kill everyone in SB, and Rumple beating the Sheriff of Nottingham to a pulp for kissing his girlfriend), I think Hook is actually in a very good spot, seeing as how he’s given up everything to help Emma and the rest of them when they have given him NO reason to do so.
Hook has it bad and he is all about Emma. It’s OBVIOUS and adorable and feels so right I can’t wait to watch it play out more and more each week! Even when he’s helping others he’s keeping an eye on her and being HELPFUL just like he always said he would be! He’s trusting her and believing in her and they are a TEAM. He’s not bossing her around or telling her what’s best for her. He has ideas and opinions just like she does and sometimes she goes along with his and sometimes he goes along with hers. It’s beautiful and parallels Snowing so well! (But in a more realistic, real-world sorta way without the gushy factor of Snowing – don’t get me wrong, they have their moments and I love them, but that’s not Emma).
I’m seriously concerned about Roland! What are the odds he doesn’t try to summon it again? He’s a little kid!
I completely agree that Snow is a little preoccupied with Charming right now and looks to be even moreso in the near future so she’s able to block out more of what she thinks is a non-issue. I mean, Hook and Emma are sitting together right in front of her and she’s just wrapped up in Charming’s arms and doesn’t even notice. She didn’t have anything to say about what Hook said during Emma’s speech either. It amuses me to no end that it doesn’t even cross her mind that Emma is sitting a little too close to Hook AFTER Regina made that comment. (I would be staying so far away from him if someone just said that to me about someone I wasn’t interested in! ESPECIALLY if my mom – and let’s face it, dad too cause Charming totally heard! – were that close by and might start wondering if Regina had a point.)
To her, it’s literally just Hook being Hook, flirting, not noticing the genuine and sincere moments they’re off having together, and her facial reaction to Regina’s comment was one of surprise and then her interpretation of why it was inappropriate of Regina to have said which, as I’ve said before, is a little optimistic and hopeful that happy endings means getting back with 1st love cause that’s how it was for her. We’ve already seen Rumple/Milah which Neal/Emma were paralleled to WITHIN Manhattan and just because they were married and had a kid didn’t mean they got back together and Rumple was clearly meant for Belle!) I really really want Snow to talk to Emma though and ask if there was any truth to it and gauge Emma’s reaction to that without Regina around. (And I’d love for Tink to do the same with Hook since they know each other. It’s not like Hook can confide in Charming about his daughter!)
My only concern is that Emma is SO focused right now that she may not be noticing a lot of the little things. She’s like her mother and actions speak louder than words but if she’s not paying attention to all the times Hook has had her back or done nice little things for her, she may be more clouded when Neal gets to them.
I really hope she drills him though because they have a lot of issues that need to be addressed and it needs to be a clean choice that doesn’t waver when she does decide between them. I want her to get her answers and I’m sure somewhere down the line, she will forgive him like she will forgive Snowing, but forgiveness does not have to equal going back to a relationship with him.
I do think she will be upset with his methods of getting there as her whole story arc this year is about being a mother and what that means. I don’t think she’ll look too kindly on putting Roland in danger, and if she doesn’t think of it at first (depending on how HE tells the story, who knows what details will be left in and he’ll probably say it was totally harmless….), then if something DOES happen where Roland ends up in NL with them (or Robin Hood in his place), then I could see her not being happy about that at all. She’s fully embracing mother status right now and risking a kid to take the easy way to get to NL to save your own kid? Not something she would do or be ok with.
She’s definitely going to be all kinds of flustered and not know what to do for awhile and will put up her walls and focus on Henry, but I still have faith that eventually she’ll see just how good Hook is for her and that they make a great TEAM. She can forgive Neal and he’ll always be a part of her life, but they’ve already shown that that’s possible, whereas we’ve seen Hook give up absolutely everything for her and slowly but surely, recapture the trust that was broken because she assumed he’d do exactly what Neal did, and instead he’s surprising her every step of the way and being true to his word, something that, like love, has been “all too rare” in her life. Something that he has known about her from the moment they met, and still wants to know more. This is NOT a fling for him and they are bending over backwards to make it clear that he has genuine feelings for her. How people still aren’t getting that I do not know.
If I hear the argument “Neal only has eyes for Emma” one more time I’m going to throw something. Seriously? SO DOES HOOK. They are SHOWING us this. Every time she’s nearby, unless he has to look away to address someone else, he is right by her side, supporting her decisions and watching her adoringly (and in an adorable manner!). He has given up his revenge, he’s lost his ship (his HOME), he let his worst enemy come along for the ride, he’s looking out for her family, trying to win over her dad, and is doing anything he can to comfort her and knows exactly what she needs for that to happen. He gets her. They are kindred spirits and I have faith that somewhere down the line, she’ll realize how good she has it with him and know that THIS is what love is supposed to be like.
I still maintain that if Henry were the product of true love, Pan wouldn’t have dismissed Emma’s power as nothing and he would have just added it to why Henry is SO special. We keep being told that Emma is powerful because she’s the product of true love so don’t you think that would have been made a big deal of it if that were why Henry were special? They had the perfect opportunity to shut down the triangle by saying that. Or by Pan trying to literally take the heart of the truest believer and not being able to.
They didn’t have to show us Hook getting close to Emma. They don’t have to show us Hook declaring he fancies her or making it obvious and they don’t have to show us every little reaction he has to her all the time or him genuinely being able to make her smile and trust in him back. They sure didn’t have to have Regina call him out as her boyfriend. They WANT us to think that way. That’s why they keep showing them to us in the same frame, side-by-side, closer every week. We already know we have a kiss to look forward to! Why go to ALL that effort of showing Hook actually redeeming himself and getting closer to her and her family if it’s all for nothing? Why build it up SO much over the first few episodes just to trash it all because Neal is alive and there?
Many people didn’t see anything good in Hook until the end of last season. I expect many more probably won’t see anything redeeming until we get his backstory from BEFORE he was a pirate (and I swear, if people can love Desperate Souls & Stable Boy, they better darn well appreciate Good Form because I can’t stand the hypocritical nature of this fandom sometimes. If it’s ok for people to want Rumple to go back to who he was, and Regina to be who she was, then why not Killian??
If they wanted to just redeem him and go find his love elsewhere, they could have given Hook/Emma moments a much more FRIENDLY vibe and he CERTAINLY would not have been announcing that he fancies her, or watching every move she makes, or focusing only on her. He could have bonded more with Regina (they had that talk on the ship about villains finding their happy endings – and then showed him staring at Emma…). Instead he’s sticking close to Emma every step of the way even though they’re all in this together. They could definitely have given it more of a buddy vibe to the point where Regina wouldn’t have picked up on anything because there would have been nothing to pick up on.
A&E have already compared Hook to Han Solo which I agree with as well (though I mostly compare him to Westley from Princess Bride). I seriously doubt that they’re setting up Hook to fall for the lost princess only to lose out in a triangle. After all, Han was understanding about why Leia might choose differently, only in their case she had a VERY good reason not to (only he didn’t know that at the time). I expect an epic love story for Hook since they wanted him in in season 1 and the best way to do that is to pair him with Emma. Perfect match. (And scoundrels like Han/Hook do love their feisty princesses!)
Seriously cannot wait to see the context of the kiss! We’ve only seen Emma kiss Graham in present day and it took her awhile to get to that point and some denial along the way (sound familiar?). With everything she’s been through, she’s finally opening up to someone again and from the tweets of the writer in question, it sounds like it will be AMAZING! I hope that means nobody interferes though…as far as I can tell, Snowing’s 1st kiss was when Charming tried to break the curse of the memory-wiping potion in an “actions speak louder than words” scene followed by proving that he meant it, then having their REAL first kiss right after that (as in, she felt it too) so I’m wondering if maybe Hook will do something that conclusively proves to Emma that he’s in this and then they kiss? CANNOT WAIT. I NEED THIS NOW.
Headcanons have been going crazy between the possibilities with future pixie dust use, where Tink’s loyalties really lie, Hook’s background, and the kiss . So much excitement just from the first 3 episodes! Seriously loving this season and so glad we get a lot of episodes in a row. I don’t think my heart could take it if we had a break right now!
So many good possibilities for CaptainSwan right now and I refuse to believe that Neal coming back magically negates EVERYTHING we’ve been shown this season. There was just no point otherwise! They know how rabid this fandom is and I’m sure they’re getting tons of hate mail after last night. I can’t imagine that they would actually build up something THIS much and spend the entire season so far building up to even more to just throw it all away. They have enough parts of the fandom mad at them for stuff they never intended to imply. I don’t think they’d go to all this effort of showing Hook be very obviously interested in Emma and having them bonding to just throw it aside and say it was meaningless.
We’ve believed in Emma and Hook from Day 1 and have no reason to give up hope now. Faith, trust, and pixie dust, right? 😀
