Captain Eala
ParticipantSo I’ve been thinking about 3×05 a little and about how it’s going to be paralleled to Tallahassee. Because we know it will be 😉
So Tallahassee was the home Emma wanted with Neal. The home she didn’t get because he decided otherwise. And what is Emma’s theme this season? “Believe a Lost Girl can find her way home“. And the key in the picture of the episode title – Emma and MM’s home. So yeah. This episode is going to be all about home. And funnily enough (lol not really), it’s a Killian-centric episode.
We KNOW that Killian won’t back down from Charming telling him to stay away from Emma, unlike Neal. What did Snow say to Charming in 3×03? That he was her home. Who first identified Emma as a lost girl? Killian.
So yeah, basically Emma’s home is Killian, even if she doesn’t know it yet.
@obisgirl – you completely inspired the above, with your timeless love in NL post 🙂 Because the first thing Emma says about finding a home? “Where – Neverland?” in an episode called “Tallahassee” 😉I originally thought that it would be a flashback of Killian in Emma and MM’s apartment but I highly doubt that’s how it’s going to play out now. *mourns loss of magic compass theory* But I think what I said above is quite likely to be what’s going on, because it’s more subtle.

ParticipantWell-said everyone!
We definitely need more context for how it fits into the episode to more fully elaborate on everything but my blood is seriously boiling over the stuff I’m seeing. Between the Emma-shaming and the more intense than ever Hook-hate and the people who almost thought he might be an ok guy before this but now it’s the end. Um, what? Let’s learn his story, his tragedies before jumping to conclusions.
This is a CLIP out of the story. We are getting an episode devoted to making us understand Hook (and his Killian side) and see why he & Emma are such kindred spirits. In the grand scheme of things, aka context, we’re likely to discover more blatantly that these are his WALLS just like hers. He isn’t used to people appreciating him at all. He hides behind being a pirate and now he hides behind being Hook but Emma GETS TO HIM and SEES RIGHT THROUGH THE FACADE.
Maybe Emma’s first inclination isn’t to go off into the woods and kiss the stuffing out of him because he saved her dad. SO WHAT? He was being cute and making it clear that he was hoping for something more and BANTERING with her. Usually she TURNS HIM DOWN and walks off and rolls her eyes. He let her have COMPLETE CONTROL. He was not MANIPULATING or COERCING or FORCING her in any way. Have you seen Emma Swan? Cause that stuff is NOT gonna fly. If she’s not into it, it’s done and she walks off.
She ENJOYS his company. She LIKES flirting back sometimes and she was SMILING like an idiot the whole time and dishing it right back at him! She was ENJOYING seeing where he’d go with it next and she never even moved away when he came in closer. He made it CLEAR (to some of us) that he wasn’t going to actually make her kiss him if she didn’t want to. He was being awkward and cute and saying what he was hoping for but usually all it gets him is a cute reaction from her and she’ll walk off. This time she DIDN’T DO THAT and it SURPRISED HIM in a good way. She was DEFINITELY flirting back the ENTIRE TIME and actually SMILED as she walked away after being blown away by the kiss. Seeing just how real it was for him I expect him to know after that just how deep he’s in over his head and do whatever it takes to stay in her good graces and continue doing the things that made her interested in him in the first place. He now has reason to think that maybe, just maybe, he can have the girl of his dreams because this time she did not shut him down. Which means she’s been noticing the things he’s done lately and appreciating them. She sees more of the real him than anyone and she LIKES IT.
It is seriously making me nuts that people think that it was some master manipulation. As if Emma Swan would ever allow that. A first kiss has to come from SOMETHING and banter? Banter’s a pretty good start. She didn’t owe him anything other than a thank you and she made a point of saying she had already said it. “That’s what the thank you was for” (all smiles). She didn’t HAVE to kiss him and on top of that SHE DIDN’T FEEL LIKE SHE OWED HIM A KISS SINCE SHE HAD ALREADY SAID THANK YOU. She was in full banter back mode at that point, waiting to see what he would do while he was waiting to see what she would do. He got close but didn’t even reach for her AT ALL until she was already kissing him. The stare between them gave her plenty of time to walk away or push him away if she felt he was too close (remember, she pushed Graham away when he kissed her) and instead she leapt onto him and pulled him for a very steamy kiss!
Emma is not an affectionate character hardly ever. She has her walls up at all times. Hoping for affection and saying you’re interested in it? Not a crime. Flirting your way to TRY to get it? Not a crime and since she was ALL SMILES and TAUNTING HIM BACK the entire time, I don’t see how anybody thinks she wasn’t ENJOYING HERSELF even before the kiss. Seriously. When was the last time we saw her really smile? Oh wait, that was when Hook complimented her on her patience and unlocking the map. Ok, when was the time before that? SHE HARDLY EVER SMILES. Even before her kid was taken we don’t usually see her let her guard down enough TO smile. Maybe that’s all Hook was really hoping for for all we know. He gets into Hook defensive mode and flirts, and she smiles, banters back, and walks off. That’s been their thing until now. He was NOT expecting to get anything, much less THAT kiss. And that kiss is only the beginning.
With so much tension especially after a kiss like that, there’s no way Emma’s gonna just forget it. She may have been hoping it would get it out of her system but judging by her reaction that’s just not going to happen. She & Hook UNDERSTAND one another and are kindred spirits and have been building an awesome foundation for awhile now. JMO has said that Emma has a real pull between these guys. Wow I guess that means Emma must really hate Hook and feel like he forced her to practically jump him! *headdesk*
First kisses are awkward and somebody has to make the first move. He may have started the CONVERSATION and made it clear he would LIKE TO KISS HER but he let her make the actual move to kiss. He is USED to her walking away and shutting it down when he gets like that. For all we know this was him trying to push her back a little and comply with Charming asking him to stay away from her – we still don’t know what his response to that was yet – see, we need the CONTEXT of the entire episode, especially since it will deal with WHY KILLIAN IS THE WAY HE IS and make us understand him better and it should be way more obvious that HOOK IS HIS DEFENSE MECHANISM but that usually, he is most like Killian when with Emma (especially recently) and she appreciates that but IS NOT DISGUSTED when he puts his walls up and FLIRTS WITH HER.
Seriously I’m sick of being told as a woman that I should be disgusted by Hook and his silly attempts at flirting. I’d do the same thing Emma does – roll my eyes when it’s too over the top or banter back in a situation like this. And that kiss? Was perfection and he let HER kiss him. He certainly didn’t force it. It was her choice the entire time, and if she wanted to REALLY make a point about whose in control – not that some of us ever had any doubt since he does WHATEVER SHE ASKS? She would have gotten in close as if she was going to kiss him…and then pulled back. But she bantered back and teased him saying he couldn’t handle it if she kissed him. She was challenging him as much as he challenged her and they were EGGING EACH OTHER ON for an epic kiss to see who would break first. She wanted to prove he couldn’t handle it and he wanted to prove she couldn’t handle it and frankly, neither of them could handle it because it was so intense and we would all be so lucky to be kissed like that.
Heaven forbid Emma Swan have a real moment with someone who understands her better than anyone out there, that she has been drawn to from the beginning and ONLY left behind because she was afraid of history repeating itself aka: trusting him, falling for him, having the rug swept out from underneath her when he betrays her. That was set up that way FOR A REASON and he has been proving himself ever since he came back (when he didn’t have to) and has been truly helping her. Yes, that must have been awful for her. To share a genuine moment that maybe didn’t start from where everyone else’s dream kiss starts, but for these two, starting with walls SKY HIGH (ESPECIALLY since we saw Killian put the Hook persona back up the MOMENT she was GENUINELY THANKING HIM, something he’s not used to!, and ending it like that? Oh yes she must be a horrible person for allowing such a thing! And him, well he’s just the devil. *headdesk*
I LOVE that we finally got that line out of him. I’ve been waiting for it since The Crocodile. The fact that he said it after the kiss and showed her once again that she has complete control here and he isn’t forcing anything, it was absolute perfection. He backed off as she asked him to even though he clearly wanted more (as did she). He let it go and let her have her space. He knows her. He understands her better than anyone and unlike Snow who pushes things too much, Hook lets her have a little time to herself and then only goes to take care of her later by offering her some form of comfort which until now and I believe at the beginning of that clip has been a shared drink or opening a coconut for her, or toasting with her. Something that is truly COMFORTING and NON-THREATENING.
She totally got the reference even though he has no idea what he just said. To anybody who hasn’t watched Princess Bride, I imagine they DID read that scene as her “winning” and smirking that she bowled him over and was able to walk away and he did just as she asked and isn’t he a cute little puppy dog taking orders. But to the rest of us? THAT LINE means everything. Not because it parallels them to a wonderful movie couple (though we of course enjoy that!). She HEARD him say it and reacted TO THAT LINE in a positive way, aka SMILING. Emma grew up in our world and has likely seen and enjoyed that movie. The fact that SHE SMILED when he said it and it is an iconic line and something she likely knew exactly what meant, she was therefore thinking that (like most of us were) and she actually SMILED at the thought after the kiss that was so intense she almost couldn’t stand up straight and had to hold onto his lapels just to right herself before pulling herself away from him. It was the icing on the cake of a beautiful moment and it showed once again that he wasn’t pushing but letting her come to him. Letting it be known that he’s interested is but one step in this dance. He still meets her halfway and then waits for her to cross that line, just as he didn’t go back in for that 2nd kiss even though he wanted it, and he certainly didn’t force the issue.
It really saddens me to see so much Emma hate (I get the Hook hate even though I loathe it with a passion. He’s the guy that could sink the other ship, it’s threatening, I get it). Emma is NOT being OOC. In fact the only moments of hers that have felt forced are the ones that JMO has commented on herself where it seemed a little out there and NONE of that had anything to do with Hook. They’re ratcheting up the triangle for sure which is annoying as anything, but we’ve been watching the foundation to this relationship build for awhile and it was VERY much in character with Emma and as JMO said, was a real human moment.
I’d like to think we all want Emma to be happy even though we can only really see her with ___ in the longrun for different reasons. How we all watch and love the same moments and read them entirely differently I will never know. I wish more people cared about Hook though. We’ve seen so much more backstory on others that I get it but it still saddens me that many can’t see through the facade. I’m hoping that changes after 3×05 but I doubt it will now because people are SO INTENT on hating the kiss or saying it was only a thank you so it doesn’t mean anything because they’re ALL wonderful characters and we want them all to be happy. I don’t think we’re building up Hook just to take the first woman he’s loved in centuries away. I really don’t. There’d be no point to that and it undermines all the setup that’s happened. Sometimes it’s better to learn from mistakes and move on and make sure never to make those mistakes again with anyone else, and good things fall apart so that better things can come together. It’s the Rumple/Milah/ & RumBelle thing all over again. And we all know (at least in this thread) which couple was paralleled within the SAME EPISODE to Rumple/Milah.
So I will just enjoy the fact that in Emma’s ep we got foundation for her being drawn to Hook and that in Hook’s ep, we’re getting a CS kiss. Other people may be in their stories, in their pasts, but it focuses them back on each other and it is beautiful. It may not have been the ideal setup for a first kiss, but this wasn’t for a TL kiss, or a grand declaration of love. This was a very real, genuinely human moment and it will affect both of them in the future, especially working so closely together in NL. Emma gravitates to him already, is almost always at his side, and looks to him first when a new plan is needed. She asks him his opinions on things. If she suddenly stops doing that? People will know and get suspicious. If she stays close by? That chemistry will continue to be “hard to deny” and I’m sorry, but it has not been set up as a lustful thing or a fling at all.
They’ve genuinely built up a trust and have been shown as a TEAM and they’re blatantly showing that this is anything but a fling for Hook. He’s been loyal to the memory of Milah for how long? This is HUGE, especially since we never even saw him kiss her. Add that to the fact that this is the most passionate, the most real, raw moment we’ve seen from Emma and to say anything less than that would be a disservice to her character. We didn’t see her go find some random guy to kiss when Graham died. She may have been a one-night stand kinda girl before going to SB but she has not been presented that way at all and if it WERE about something like that for her? To stop feeling the loss of someone else? Then she wouldn’t have pulled away from Hook at all. She’d have used him and walked away and he would have been presented the same way, as someone willing to be used for her fling and that’s it. But guess what…that’s NOT what happened and they made a point of showing us just how much that moment meant to Hook which is a GOOD THING for us.
I have faith guys. Most of the couples we love, especially the ones they’ve remotely been compared to, didn’t exactly like each other at first and had their issues. But women like Emma? THRIVE on that kind of thing in the best possible way. I saw a quote yesterday “It’s hard to resist a bad boy when he’s a good man” and Emma KNOWS deep down he’s a good man. It’s how she connects with him. Just like Flynn, Han, and Westley. Goodness knows they weren’t saints but some women actually LIKE a scoundrel that’s really just a hurt guy who needs someone to appreciate him. They actually ENJOY that type of flirting and banter.
And now I really wish I had time for the gazillion marathons I want to do all at once but most especially Tangled, Star Wars, and Princess Bride.
Can it be Sunday yet? I want the FULL context of the episode cause multiple members of the cast have said it’s a great ep and it’s about time we got some Hook backstory and I really really can’t wait to see THE KISS in full context since I really think it will be the first of many even though we’re going to have to wait awhile. The greatest stories that involve all the different elements that OUAT uses have at least one romance that is more of a slow burn.
Right now we’re just getting bits and pieces of the story and filling in the gaps for ourselves so of course our filters come into play. We’re partial to Hook so we see more of him than others do and I get that. But putting ourselves in EMMA’s shoes and making sure it’s her CHOICE is what makes me feel so strongly about this. Because at the end of the day, both sides can argue (and have and will) til we’re all blue in the face but it’s not going to be about what makes ____ happy. It HAS to be about what makes EMMA happy. All the explanations in the world about anything from either guy aren’t going to compel her to have to choose someone because of ___ (insert whatever here). WE see the backstories, and the tragedies, and we don’t want our guy to get hurt again, but what about Emma?
I will be CRUSHED if Hook gets hurt. But I see more in him than many who are indifferent or loathe his piratey ways do. I’ve called the Westley thing since the Crocodile and NOBODY on this show is that one-dimensional. The villains? Have ALL been hurt in some way. It comes down to the choices they make. Hook has made major strides this season and I feel like, based on that clip his walls are going back up. The Hook facade, the thing that everyone expects of him anyway, comes back out, just like Emma’s walls do and SHE gets that but some of the audience don’t.
People thinking he’s been OOC or toned down this season don’t equate that to walls. They equate it with the writers trying to cater to the CS fans and so Hook is now completely OOC to them. We see that he realized revenge wasn’t getting him anywhere, he told Emma she reminded him he could care, and he’s been on fairly good behavior and being helpful recently. What has that gotten him? Not much, but he’s still trying to win over people that clearly don’t like him. He’s doing everything to help Charming and has given up everything to help Emma on this mission in the first place and we know that sometime, probably early on this coming episode, Charming will pull a sword on Hook and tell him to stay away from Emma. Understandably, Charming is protective of his little girl, but in this instance, it’s still basically saying “I don’t care how much you’ve changed, you’re not good enough for her” when he has done everything he could to be helpful.
He’s not gonna do a complete 180, as we’ve seen is also the problem for Rumple and Regina. They slip from time to time but are trying and they have people in their lives that are motivating factors. Rumple needs Belle AND Bae before he’ll be able to overcome his demons but he has a lot to overcome. Regina has Henry and she begrudgingly has the Charmings now but I don’t think it will be until she has Henry and eventually Robin that she’ll be able to fully come around. Hook? Hook has Emma. He hasn’t done as many bad things but he’s still done his fair share and hides behind his Hook persona walls but Emma gets to him. I really think that after [spoiler]that kiss he’s gonna be doing whatever it takes to fight for her in the right ways because he’s been given a real glimmer of hope, especially soon after being told to stay away from her according to Charming – still dying to know what he says to THAT!
That moment will be a turning point for a lot of things I feel like. I’m expecting tons of parallels within the episode to both Snowing (and it seems like possibly book-ending the episode with a Snowing kiss and a CaptainSwan kiss!), and the similar circumstances we saw in Tallahassee flashbacks for Emma to present day now. We’ve already seen how Neal took it with Pinocchio, now it’s time to see what Hook does in response to Charming.

@Captain Eala – I just wrote a ridiculously long thing and then realized you posted before me and I love basically everything you just said and hadn’t even thought about that! The key to their apartment was in that picture and you’re right, there should be a lot of Tallahassee parallels and the whole thing with home and I’ve been saying it for awhile but the home thing has shifted a TON for Emma. Right now home is where she and Henry are safely away from NL. But it could definitely be a big clue and it IS a Hook-centric ep where CS share their FIRST KISS! Excellent deductions.
CAN WE ALL PLEASE WORK ON THE SPOILER TAGS THOUGH. I know it’s a pain (believe me, typing it over and over again is driving me bonkers) but RG has to read all of it and go in and fix it and it’s not even her ship of choice but out of the goodness of her heart to do all of this for EVERYONE in this forum so even though I’m pretty sure we all read and watch basically anything we can get our hands on (especially for THIS episode!), let’s be a bit better about using the spoiler tags to keep everybody happy so nobody has to police us and look like the bad guy ok?

ParticipantYay obisgirl! Now you’ll have more to work with and everything we’ve been talking about in context!
Getting so close to 3×05 I can almost taste it but it’s still so far away. Ahh!
After all the arguments I’ve seen and all the nonsense words thrown around to describe not only our beloved King Adam (long shall he reign!), as well as the other writers, characters, fans etc etc for allowing such actions to happen/enjoying them…all I can say as a writer is that I really want to throw dictionaries at a LOT of people right now; and all I can say as a fan (in reaction to a LOT of words I’ve seen used) is “That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
In the meantime, here’s some lovely pics/gifs from tumblr:
1) CS/Tangled (cause of reasons):
http://captainswan4life.tumblr.com/post/65003673735/teenwolfmixtapes-are-we-going-to-talk-about
2) CS & CS! Tallahassee and Good Form. Almost perfection though it coulda used the neck scratching thing for both of the bottom set since he does it again before shifting into Hook facade before the kiss! But still, love the lip thing – he’s so cute asking for something he really doesn’t think he’ll get and then bam, he gets it and is just stunned and the touching of the lip afterward is perfect! Seriously cannot wait! We’ve come so far in just a year of tv time! (Tallahassee parallels within Good Form should be amazing!)

Well that’s what I think is ENTIRELY POSSIBLE (not definite!)to be the case. That key was in the picture for a reason and the only thing I can think that it represents at this stage is home. But I also don’t think it’s a coincidence that Christine Boylan wrote this episode and Tallahassee. I mean really. She’s a total CS fangirl.
CAN WE ALL PLEASE WORK ON THE SPOILER TAGS THOUGH.
SO SORRY RG SO SORRY I HAVE A HABIT OF POSTING THINGS JUST BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP
I saw the episode!!
Thoughts??? 🙂
@MysteryKat – Completely agree with you about the disgusting behaviour from some of the other ships, and that the other ships are seeing Killian as a huge threat. And completely agree with everything you said about the kiss scene – Emma was in control there, completely. COMPLETELY. Anyone who says otherwise (and anyone who says Killian manipulated her) is just not watching that scene properly IMO.
One thing I really dislike about some of the other shippers is that they don’t hold Neal up to the same standard of behaviour as Killian. They act like Neal is some kind of saint. That he hasn’t done wrong things, made wrong choices, just like Killian. And the fact of the matter is, it doesn’t matter how anyone interprets their behaviour because at the end of the day it’s Emma’s choice. SF shippers say that Killian is awful because he locked her up in a cell and pushed her into a wall. But to me this doesn’t matter, because it doesn’t matter to Emma, she knows she gave as good as she got. And that’s equality. Killian Jones sees women as his equals and doesn’t treat them differently just because they’re women, even if he’s attracted to them! We’ve seen that Killian Jones firmly believes in the revenge principle “an eye for an eye”. Killian Jones is the least sexist person on this show actually(can’t help but remember how Emma called Neal a misogynist here).
Neal however she does hold things against, we saw that in 3×02. She hasn’t forgiven her own parents for abandoning her, and therefore Neal. She DOES hold Neal’s actions against him. And that’s what matters here.
And I have to laugh when people say that Emma will be mad at Killian when she finds out what he did to Bae. I mean, she’s seen him at his absolute lowest point, when he was doing villainous acts working for Cora and shooting Belle and taking advantage of Archie’s kidnapping etc. And in season 2, I can’t remember the episode, Emma talks about giving Regina a second chance because she if nobody had given Emma a second chance then she wouldn’t have changed. So that’s basically what Emma is giving Killian here.
And I totally advocate that Emma forgives Neal, and they both find their HE, but it’s just not with each other, there’s a difference between turning from being a person who does bad things to a person who does good things and Neal and Emma’s relationship dynamic IMO. It’s not the same.
LOVE those gifsets!!! Thank you! Didn’t even NOTICE the neck scratching thing in Tallahassee when he’s walking away from Emma. I mean, this just PROVES that he’s all insecure in her presence, no matter his cocky façade 🙂 DID YOU WATCH THE VIDEO I posted it’s amaaaaazing whoever did it deserves an award!

ParticipantSome random thoughts i’d like to share.
So, having watched the kiss scene for the 10000000000000000000000000th time, I realised something i hadn’t even noticed. Sorry if i’m pointing out something that has already been pointed out.
So Emma is wondering why Killian saved David’s life and says that they aren’t exactly “mates” (lol, love the way she tries to imitate his accent there) and he replies with – “Doesn’t mean i’d leave your father to perish on this island.” Your father. Not David, as she herself refers to him as. This line shows that he did what he did – for Emma. He’s telling her right to her face that he saved her father for her. I just love that, because it completely reinforces what we’ve been saying – he’s trying to change, trying to be a better person, all because of Emma.*CRYING*
And that reminds me just how similar David and Killian are, how they will do anything for the people they love. Love is their driving force, and both have an amazing capacity for it. The way David is trying to protect his family by not telling them about the Dreamshade also reminds me of when Killian went to duel with Rumple alone, ready and willing to die in the Crocodile, all to protect Milah. Killian is literally a darker version of Charming. He’s just more selfish, and doesn’t do things for “the greater good”. And, i’ve said it before, but that is what Emma needs so badly. Someone who will put her well being and happiness over EVERYTHING.
So yes, with regards to the above I’ve changed the line on Killian’s poster to:
“Believe that a pirate can be Emma’s hero”.
*SOBBING*
Also wanted to mention, because I’m 99% sure that Good Form and Tallahassee are going to be thematically similar, i’ve just thought of something else with regards to what i said about them being about “home”.
In Emma’s flashback she didn’t get the home she wanted with Neal. Now, we know that all that Killian has ever wanted is a family. We know his flashback will be him and his brother. We’re 99% sure his brother died. So yeah, in Killian’s flashback he won’t get the home he wanted with his brother.
Okay, i’m done.

ParticipantWhich results in a smirk appearing on Emma’s face as she walks away. If you’ve seen the film The Princess Bride (1987) you’ll know that Killian actually tells Emma that he loves her.
That’s how she knows she is loved. Hook wouldn’t understand the reference but Emma sure does.

ParticipantI saw that article! And it’s great because it specifically states a mutual attraction – we knew it all along but for other ships the fact that Emma had feelings for him was doubted 😉
Yeah. That Princess Bride parallel kills me every time.
I’m actually going to die with this episode, I can feel it. I mean, it’s clear that when Liam dies Killian turns into a pirate. And it really kills me because every step of Killian’s life has been DEFINED by his losses – when he loses his father, his brother, Milah, Bae. BUT EMMA WILL BRING HIM BACK TO KILLIAN AGAIN. *sobs forever* MY POOR KILLIAN
EDIT: Just so everyone knows I didn’t actually put anything spoilery here! RG and I talked it out. Don’t throw things at me!!!! 🙂
