The Captain Swan thread!

The thing I love about the parallels between Snowing and Captain Swan is that it highlights how alike Emma and her parents are despite them not being able to raise her.

I did a parallel list quite a few pages back now- think it was around the 60’s or 100 mark (it was towards the end of S2 anyway) …. I’ll see if I can find it, as most of it was SNowing/CS parallels- maybe it could have the new stuff added to it 🙂

OMG YES DO PLEASE MAKE IT AVAILABLE TO US 🙂

I try not to take them too seriously with regards to Emma’s own love story, but MY GOD THE ATTEMPT AT TLK TO SOLVE MEMORY LOSS IS A HELL OF A PARALLEL THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED

Apparently I’m not completely done with caplocks yet lol

And then there’s Hook. Is it just me, or does O’Donoghue now rival Josh Dallas in terms of getting the most romantic lines on the show? I think it’s because—like Dallas—he has a way of making everything he says seem improbably genuine. In my opinion, “There’s not a day that will go by that I won’t think of you,” is right up there with “What’s 28 years when you have eternal love?” as one of the show’s most swoon-worthy lines.

But the best part of Hook’s goodbye wasn’t even his line. It was Emma’s reaction. If this episode was all about acceptance, then this moment was about Emma finally accepting Hook’s love instead of putting her walls up again. When she said “Good” with such intensity in her eyes, she was finally allowing herself to let him love her. And she finally allowed herself to accept that she wanted him to love her. In doing so, she gave him hope; it’s written all over his face after she speaks. This was such a huge moment of character development for Emma, a woman who not long before had trouble accepting and acknowledging love from even her own parents.

Thanks for those! It would be nice to update the “gif” list we have with some of them! 🙂

I’m sure you have notepad/notebook on your computer, if you’re not sure type it into the search function of your laptop/computer, copy and paste your text into notepad, and then copy and paste it from notepad to here 🙂 gets rid of ALL the gobbledygook 😉

Oh awesome! Thanks for the tip! It was driving me nuts having to edit out lines & lines of puter speak lol

I’ve been scouring the internet looking for pics of the rear window of Emma’s bug, for a clearer pic of that sticker- which I couldnt find, so resorted to going over S1 & S2 looking for rear window scenes with the sticker showing- no clear shots that I’ve found in 30 eps! However it definitely is the same sticker, so it has been there since the pilot- it is also on the bug when she steals it, so it’s not her that picks it out.

Honestly I dont think it is a Pegasus (would be AWESOME if it was though), it really doesnt look like a horse shape & the wings dont come out of the back/shoulders, they come out of the ‘top’/head)- it looks more like Dumbo when I pause it on my HD TV- a pink Dumbo wearing a top hat, encircled in green ‘pink elephants on parade’, with pink bubbles coming from Dumbos head …. or maybe it’s supposed to be some weird version of the white rabbit or none of the above, it really isnt cleat enough to get a definitive take on what it is exactly- I can just say, that IMO, unless the Pegasus is weirdly deformed, it isnt a Pegasus.

That doesn’t really mean anything IMO, it’s there as a shout-out to fans 🙂

I think it could be though – to me it almost looks like the Pegasus is facing us, and the wings are coming out of it’s shoulders. Could just be shipper goggles though i suppose. Grrrrr, i need someone to sneak up to the bug on the set and take a picture lol
