Did you all see @Slurpeez108 theory about who could have sent the message to Hook? It’s a really good theory. She thinks that Aurora (Philora) sent it to Hook. It seems like they are in the know with the WWW but they are worried if they don’t do everything they want her to do she will harm their baby. But they are also friends will all the SB folks. So they are prime double agent material. They could find out about the WWW’s plan and since Aurora know’s Hook well from working with him before she could have somehow gotten a message to him. She knows he cares about Emma, she knows he saved her heart. And it works with the “is Hook being tricked?” question. It can keep people guessing for several episodes: are they helping the WWW because they are concerned about her harming their baby or are they helping Hook get Emma because they are concerned about the WWW harming their baby?

Along the same lines (and this is the part I don’t like posting) they know the media and fans are happily snapping away when they film. What if they have decided to just allow all these pictures to end up out there and let them be. Kind of like “You want spoilers? Fine, have spoilers. You want to know what happens in advance. Fine figure out what happens in advance.” Because, really, they don’t OWE us spoilers. They don’t OWE us an explanation for every picture we see. They don’t have to explain to us which spoiler pictures they may or may not be using, which are authentic, which are BTS, etc. So I guess I’m not saying that A and are are lying about anything but I think they may be attempting to let people realize what can happen when they get too exuberant about spoilers and media/fan pictures. Kind of like a very strong message: have all the fun you want in your quest for spoilers, pictures, etc. but please believe us now – if you don’t hear it directly from us – do NOT believe it is happening, even if you see it. I am guessing that goes for all those actor and media interviews as well. They have said before that things get twisted around or misquoted, Adam just said they were still tweaking things AFTER they did the pre-screening for the media, the actors film things and they don’t necessarily know what is going to make it into the final version and what isn’t. I thought it was interesting that in the Wicked Special Ginny said that until the episode was filmed neither she nor Lana understood WHY the Evil Queen hated Snow so much so they watched the episode and cried together and then it affected how they acted together from then on out. So even the actors don’t always know MAJOR things in advance so they don’t always know when it might not be appropriate to go with the way something might feel right in the moment when they are filming something.

Yeah, those are my thoughts as well- hence my “A&E deliberately setting the fandom up to suck eggs for going on & on ‘about whats coming’ when taking filming (‘spoilers’) out of context” comment. The “sad if it’s true” part, is not that I thought they’d ‘stoop’ to doing something like that, but it’s sad that they’ve been PUSHED into doing it by the stupidity of a certain section of the fandom! It’s also sadly other (more respectful) sections of the fandom that also get disappointed/ let down in this tactic though, which again is sad.

I wasnt saying they are wrong or bad for doing it (IF that is indeed what happened), I actually “get” why they’d do it….. if I’m honest, it’s something I’d do myself (although I’d have used less contentious topics- like do ‘fake’ death scenes etc 😉 ).

I want to share with you all something very special.  You know the SiriusXM interview?

There is audio available but it’s very low. So I downloaded that interview, fixed it up and made the volume higher. Download is here. Audio is uncompressed but I also included artist information.  But the key thing, is that the audio volume is better.

Thank you for going to all that trouble obisgirl 🙂 I did try to listen to that broadcast and what I could hear was quite entertaining! This made it much easier.

And Stelio, your graphics and those you bring here show a great loyalty and positive energy to the fandom. Thanks so much.

So.  Much.  Stuff!  And most of my thoughts and theories already noted, it’s part of the reason I like this thread so much.  🙂

In regard to who sent Hook, I’m liking the ‘it was Philora’ theory.  I haven’t had the chance to read through Slurpeez’ write up yet but I caught the gist on chat earlier and in the threads – I definitely like it!  I can see Aurora doing something like that – she’s got to protect her child and the WW is absolutely a threat, that much is clear.  But I can’t imagine her just standing by and letting the WW at the people she spent time with and who helped save her, and by extension, Phillip.  I also like the Rumple one…my only thought about why that might not be feasible is if he is being controlled by the WW, how would he have gotten a message out to anyone?  Why would it have gone to Hook?  I’m thinking Belle and Neal are going to go looking for Rumple and it seems like he would be the most logical person to get the message to…of course, maybe it was Neal who got the message – oh, forget it! Circles!

I definitely liked the Hook/Charming scene when Hook tells Charming he’s going back to his ‘pirate’ life.  It was exactly the exchange I would expect of them – Charming giving him the ‘don’t go’ speech, but knowing it was no use – Hook was going to do what he needed to do.  And I think Josh did a great job of showing Charming sees right through Hook’s going back to his ‘pirate’ life as nothing more than Hook’s need to get away from anything that reminds him of Emma.  That scene was pure Hook and Captain Charming and shows just how much they already understand each other.

I also think it’s cute that people interpret that scene as Hook ‘returning to S2/villain.’  Precious, even.  If you didn’t understand that scene, you simply will never understand Hook/Captain Charming, and really, I think you’re forcing yourself to be a little blind about the character/friendship.  Neal and Hook BOTH reverted a little upon their return to EF.  And both were half hearted in their regression.  And both were totally justified in their regression – it was their way of grieving and coping with a huge loss.  Neal gave his “I’m going after them speech” that he loves to give, and was a little too easily talked out of it, in my opinion.  If you love these people, REALLY want to get back to them, a little Snowing speech is going to stop you??  No, you’re going to jump on yer horse, ignore Snowing’s little speech and go off on your own for clarity and to figure out how you’re going to get back to Emma and Henry!!  Right Hook?!  I never believed Hook got duped into going after Emma, and I still don’t.  I could see Neal attempting to double cross the WW and be tempted to turn dark – whoever brought up the idea that maybe he would allow a curse to be cast to get back to them — brilliant!

Colin and Jen’s performances were incredible.  They have amazing natural chemistry, and it just lets the audience understand so much without a ton of dialogue.  My heart utterly broke for Hook, but I think he managed to temper his jealousy quite well when it came to Walsh.  I thinkt the scene with the two of them together at the table was my favorite.  It was a perfect CS scene.  They’re both open and honest with each other, but respectful and aware of the others’ feelings.  I love how the they can be together, amidst chaos or painful situations, and they just bring out the calm in and be totally comfortable with each other.

So many other thoughts but I’ve rambled enough – and I haven’t even gotten a chance for my 2nd watch yet!!  Regina and Robin – now that relationship is going to be an amazing one too.  Snowing just may not bore me to death (sorry HappyEndings! 🙂 )!  Those flying monkeys – holy crow were they freaky!!  Even though I think I let myself get a little too spoiled, there were still some good surprises in the episode.  If the rest of the season continues, I think we’re in for an excellent 3B.

I didn’t even remember Hook and Henry!  Ok, CS in her apt was my favorite scene followed VERY closely by the Hook/Henry “what are YOU wearing” scene!  And Emma TRUSTS Hook implicitly with the person she holds most dear!!  OH THE FEELS!!!!  Ok now I’m really done.
