    Poor Neal though.

    Yeah it’s a shame. But honestly he’s superfluous to the plot at the moment except as Rumple’s happy ending. He actively contributes nothing.

    And to be honest Emma has already lost him TWICE – to lose him again… well she’s an old hat at it by now. That sounds cold… but it doesn’t make it any less true. It would stunt Emma to lose Hook because of the way she lost Graham. It won’t stunt Emma emotionally to lose Neal – in fact it will be easier for her to move on from her pain. Of course she’ll be extremely sad – she loves him and he’s Henry’s father – but like she said herself, his death is easier on her, emotionally.

    I’m just hoping that A&E make Emma’s choice in Hook a bit more obvious so as to quell haters arguments. We have said there’s no triangle from the start, Adam has said TWICE now that they don’t write triangles (vis a vis yesterdays spoilers) and it’s pretty obvious from both 3×07 and 3×11 that Emma has made her choice. If Neal was killed off in 3A i would have seen it as a cheap way to resolve the “triangle” but honestly, right now, Emma’s choice is clear to me, even if it isn’t entirely clear to her yet lol.

    Good point about Emma too. It’s canon that it’s easier for her to move on from him if he’s dead. Really does make you wonder if the Neal death has been planned.

    I’m worried about the “fanservice” argument i’ll admit. I agree with you though, on what A&E said about the triangle. It’s been promoted as more of a Captain Swan – – – – – – Neal triangle lol.

    And obviously this isn’t meant to be a total ‘shocker’ death, because if it was they would NOT have released it like this.  I would think if they were killing Hook off it would be kept under wraps.  Although, I also was surprised when they released the CS kiss prior to the episode, so I could be way off base.  I just don’t get it – EVERY fan who knows this (regardless of ship) is going to be watching the show with this hanging over them until it happens.  Are they hoping that knowing in advance will up the ratings or something??

    I feel like A&E often do something unpredictable, so maybe it’s not either of the obvious choices also.

    Ok, here’s when I need to know who usually makes the right predictions when guessing where the show is going to go?  I need to hear that person’s opinions, LOL.

    I had a dream about Captain Swan.  I think Colin and Jen were filming a scene together. They were flying together. Hook wore his usual black leather but Emma wore a different outfit. It looked like indian skin and they were holding each other and he kissed her.  It was really beautiful and dramatic.  I remember there were different shots of it, a wide angle, a semi-close and a really up-close one and the director and they decided the really up close one wasn’t good.

    I’m worried about the “fanservice” argument i’ll admit.

    I’m not really, i’m just worried that Adam will get a lot of hate for no reason.

    To be honest the “FANSERVICE” argument with regards to this show is just BS.This is an extensively planned show. The people who scream that just don’t agree with/don’t like the way the show is going. SFers scream “FANSERVICE” with CS, never thinking that it’s popular because it’s supposed to be.

    Like i was saying, if the actor is leaving because they’re unhappy it’s clearly because => their character isn’t going anywhere which in the case of Neal means that Neal isn’t Emma’s TL. His story isn’t going anywhere, therefore the actor wants to move on.

    If the death is planned, well then Neal isn’t Emma’s TL.

    All roads lead to Captain Swan.

    By the shows own standards if Neal dies and he’s Emma’s TL then she won’t be able to move on from him.

    If you died I would not be able to move on!

    So their argument that CS is fanservice is shooting themselves in the foot with this spoiler, really.

    Seriously, the fanservice argument has so many holes. If this was TVD then yeah i might agree to the fanservice argument, but not in this show lol.

    Adam and Eddie also don’t cater to bullies either.

    And if they catered for bullies, that’s DEFINITE fan service.

    I trust Adam and Eddie and they know what they’re doing.  Everything that happens on this show, tends to be well-thought out. Lines aren’t just written for the sake of being written, to move the action forward.  There’s meaning for every action and spoken line.

    But hey, if you don’t like, no one is forcing you to watch.

    Isn’t this Matt guy (the one who gave the spoiler, is he from TV Line?) a CS shipper?  If so, I wonder if he would seem more upset in his writing about this.  Hmmmm.  (I am probably totally grasping at straws at this point)

    He is a ‘shipper.  Since the spoiler is coming from him,  I’m not worried.

    Adam and Eddie are going to write the show, how they want to write it and have said more than once, that they don’t cater to ‘ships. They write a story.  So whoever dies, I’m confident it will likely be story driven, rather than for shock value or catering to ‘ships.  The death will move the story forward.
