^^^ Great post! And about the chat whenever that happens I just go on being happy 😛 I think we’re gonna have plenty more opportunities for us to celebrate so don’t let anyone get you down 😉

What can you tease about what happens next with Hook and Emma?
KITSIS: Well, we do know that he’s got the hots for her. We’ll just see if he can break that wall down. She’s a tough one to get.
HOROWITZ: Emma’s a tough cookie. I’d say, to try to romance Emma, you’d need a hook of steel.
OMG OMG OMG SEEEEE,,, SO MUCH CS STUFF… whoever said that there were no CS moments, @rumplegoldfan, he/she is blind and in denial.. definitely in denial!
Oh and the line ” I know you better than you know yourself.. ”
OMG THAT KILLED ME!! I know Charming said that to Snow too! Can someone post pics of it here? @StelioKontos, can you do that please 🙂
Chiming back in briefly. Thank-you for the welcoming hellos.
Well, that was fun! Good to see the troops back in new action~ no matter if everyone pretty much knew the plotline anyway. :)…and they managed to jam a lot in there as always. Sometimes too much, but they are setting up an entire half season, so they had to address tons of stuff. Fast. Plot blips and some deja vu dialogue, BUT…
GREAT camera time for the passionate Captain and his *love*. They were true to their characters and then some. So glad to see Hook being eye brow raising ornery still. And Emma as stoically stone faced as ever. Only Emma could shrug off a serious boyfriend turning into a red eyed flying monkey that she just pounds into smithereens with a baseball ball (conveniently located on the rooftop) with such aplomb.
Killian, eh? Yeahhhh, she missed you, you sly…scoundrel. (grin) And fell back into a very familiar and easy affection with you instantly. It’s all good. And she trusts you totally with Henry. HUGE step.
The very special relationsip between Hook and Emma has remained very much intact, with all expected sassiness still alive and more than well. Just some very warm and fuzzy comfort levels introduced, as well as the ever present suggestive, thought provoking *eye acting*. I wouldn’t worry about the missing hug. It’s still here for all Internet eternity
Outside of basically knowing what was going to happen because of three months of frenetic spoilers and pics, film makers(and TV producers) often advertise scenes that never show up in final cuts. Movie trailers are habitually guilty of this annoying tactic all the time. It isn’t honest, but it is a way to generate interest. (Including it in screeners, then perhaps denying it was in the script goes a little beyond *ooops* territory because then the writers are skirting a different, maybe even dangerous, issue) We, as viewers ought to be quite used to being victims of marketing white lies. A&E are no exception, and have mastered the say nothing but imply everything tease (some would call it something else!)
But the scene has been set. Hook and Swan. It’s got great places to go and grow 🙂
***Always in search of a good flock***
I am definately going to have to stay out of the chat though. It was really fun during the Wicked is Coming special. And I can honestly say that 99% of the people in the chat are very kind and respectful but there is one particular person who is so incredibly immature, rude, and purposely disrespectful it is completely ridiculous. I’m sorry but I am way too old to deal with that. It has gone on way too long and that person should be kicked out. Sitting in a chat and announcing that you aren’t getting any CS vibes over and over but are getting SF feels out the wazoo when you know there are CS people in the chat is attempting to purposely annoy CS folks to the point that they will stay out of the chat. And if moderators aren’t able to tell that that isn’t any different than a CS person announcing in the chat “I don’t see how anyone could possibly see ANY SF in this episode, it’s clearly all CS” I’m stunned, it’s just a matter of wording. To CS folks, we feel like we are being told we are stupid, that we are being trolled and purposely trying to be annoyed and riled up so we will stay away from the chat. And continually bashing someone else’s ship and character and then following it up with “It’s just a theory, that’s what we do here” is like insulting someone and then saying “oh, but nothing personal.” I normally do not get bothered by things like this but this is completely ridiculous. When you have a large group of very active participants on this site who feel that they can’t participate in the chat because of ONE person that is a problem. I was really hopeful during the special tonight, then that person ruined it for me once again! I will now stop ranting.
Hi guys.
Gosh I hate to do this on episode night. We’ve been having such a good night. There were hugs and cuddles and “forget shipping! this is our show!!” and then this was brought to my attention.
Ok. I want to say this part first. Sometimes it might appear that your mods aren’t doing anything to stop it, but I really want to assure you that Matt and I document EVERYTHING that is happening with this individual. And I have talked them. Matt has talked to them. DANIEL has talked to them.
The first policy in moderating is to REDIRECT. Get the conversation somewhere else. Anywhere else.Often times I’ll start posting very fast to get it off the screen in order to move on and show that we are NOT going to talk like this. If it continues, Matt and I have on many occasions called this person out. The third step is private DMs which I can assure you happen a lot.
I want all of you in chat. I want to talk about this show as we watch. The special was SO GOOD. And we all had fun!! It was great.
I’m not going to say much more because it’s episode night and Matt and I are discussing this but I want you to know that we HEAR you. We do. And something is going to be done. We’re not ignoring, we’re trying various methods in order to satisfy everyone because we all have opinions and thoughts we want to share but it’s about the vibe we give off while doing it.
I hope you guys enjoyed tonight. I REALLY LOVED the Hook and Emma stuff. So there ya go. One SF who really enjoyed that part. 🙂
EDIT
And as far as “theorizing it’s what we do here” it IS what we do here. And having a theory is not the same as bashing. All theories are welcome here. So long as they are given politely and calmly. I agree it’s getting too much and Matt and I have said stuff, I promise. But theories are valid until proven otherwise. We don’t want to censor people and what they might think. I’ve come with thousands of theories over the past two years. These forums are for that. For putting your ideas out and then having the community respond. Feel free to disagree with the theory in question. I can’t tell someone not to share a theory just because someone else might not like it. But I do agree that you don’t need to beat people over the head with it.

I really love the way it seems to be shaping up. So we all know Hook loves Emma – but as of right now he doesn’t fit her definition of ‘home’. She is thinking ‘home’ is the perfect life she thought she’d have with Walsh. Now since THAT didn’t work out, she thinks she is destined to never find it. It seems to jive with what A&E said – she doesn’t know what home is because she’s never had it. If this half of the season is her realizing that he CAN be her home – bring it on!! I don’t care if it takes all 11 episodes!
I want to get all of your opinions on this too. My dh casually watches sometimes, so I asked him if he thought Emma and Hook would get together, be TL, etc. His thought was that getting them together by the end of Season 3 is too early and wouldn’t leave enough drama for future seasons. Arguments for this? I truly can’t imagine where Season 4 will go…
@RumplesGirl thanks for that RG, we’ve talked about this kind of thing before I know you and Matt do a great job moderating the forums and I know you have always said you’d like nothing better than to have us all be able to get along on here. We’re getting there RG just have to work through it 🙂
Oh, yeah!! There were definately LOTS of CS moments. I can’t wait to go back and do my rewatch because that’s when I pick up all the little nuances.
I have no problem at all with people enjoying moments of their own ship in the chat if they can do it respectfully and maturely, and within reason. I typically try to stay away from saying much at all about CS or even Hook because I know some people take things the wrong way and I don’t want to be the person that opens a can of worms. Sadly the chat is always comprised of SF folks so what they don’t seem to understand is that we ALWAYS have to feel that way while they are able to say whatever they want.
So during an episode, great – be happy and rejoice if there is a SF moment that makes you giddy. But don’t start talking about how the entire episode is CLEARLY devoid of any CS moments, don’t make gagging sounds and say you’re hiding your eyes when you see Emma and Hook together, don’t start talking about how Hook’s master plan is to poison and gut the entire cast (“sorry, that’s just a theory – it’s what we do here”). I’m QUITE certain if we started chatting that we believed Neal had planned all along to curse the town, kill Rumple and Belle, and steal Henry away from Emma and Regina and kept repeating it over and over again we would be ganged up on and told to stop. But no one seems to have a problem when that happens to us. It’s just common courtesy and maturity.
So in the “safety” of our little ship, I didn’t see the major SF moments that the SF folks are rejoicing over AT ALL, but I would NEVER say that in the chat. Sorry, but to me that’s like saying to someone – you’re delusional. I have my own theory about what Neal is going to do but the SF folks won’t like it so I don’t talk about it in the chat out of respect for the fact that I know they love his character and their ship – I’m being respectful and courteous.
