ParticipantI just realized we have not seen Emma wear that coat since season one. I think it was in What Happened to Frederick.

ParticipantI don’t mean to rub salt in the wound to any SF shipper that happens to look into this thread but…..what I found curious is that a lot of people have said that they established Neal and Emma as TL’s this episode and I just don’t see it. I know Belle said something about that but that doesn’t make it so
Agreed… cant go by Belle – this is the smarty pants were barely there shorts and tights in the mountains with snow and then states ‘its cold’… really? you dont say. sorry – dont trust her thoughts on True Love – plus she really doesnt know Bae/Neal from a hole in the wall.
ok shorty shorts just caused me to snort. Loudly. At work. That was awesome…and exactly what I was thinking whenever we saw Belle!
Some SFers would have my head for saying this -and it’s not to gloat by any means- but I think Neal knew the writing on the wall the entire time. He knows who Emma is going to find Tallahassee with – and still he told her to find it. I’ve always liked Neal – thought him ridiculously underused but I liked him- so when he made that statement I wasn’t surprised…but I was quite touched for our pirate.
The next few episodes should be interesting. I think were going to see both Emma and Hook supporting and needing support from each other.

ParticipantOMG @Jennifer, thanks for posting that link. Never thought I would laugh over that episode, but man that was funny!

ParticipantI feel really bad for how hard the SF folks are taking this. I know I would have been DEVASTATED if Hook had been the one to die. I know these are all fictional characters but we all get so emotionally attached to them – it feels very real to them right now. I wish there was something I could do to make them feel better but I guess just staying out of their way so they can grieve together is the best thing to do.
I really hope they don’t stop watching the show. I know a lot of them are also Rumbelle fans so I hope they will be able to find fun in that ship again, or maybe OQ will give them a new ship to enjoy. I know it is really hard for them to even consider finding any joy in the show anymore. I have to admit – if Hook died I would have to force myself to continue to watch the show because my heart wouldn’t be into it anymore.
Anyway, didn’t want to be a total downer but I just feel really bad for the Neal fans right now – kind of helpless, you know?

ParticipantTime will heal this wound.
@Angiebelle ‘s the one who gives me hope that this will pass eventually. She’s a SwanFire fan but she’s also a Rumbelle ‘shipper and she’s always so incredibly optimistic and I honestly, love her attitude. I always tell her on tumblr, never change.March 31, 2014 at 5:21 pm #257644Killian Jones
Participantyeah I’m just glad Hook has done so much redeeming since his first appearance. I hope most of the viewers can accept Hook as a hero from now on. Especially after the stuff with Belle and his nice moment with Neal.

ParticipantI don’t think Charming invites villains to hang out at the castle.

ParticipantJennifer – that article was HILARIOUS. Thank you!
I hear you, @Rumplegoldfan. I don’t think people will boycott, @Jennifer. Well…they might. And honestly, if you lose favor with the show, don’t watch, that’s your prerogative, but in the end this is an ensemble show. I like certain characters, love others…except for Pan and the WW, don’t really hate any (and really, I love to hate the WW!) – but I watch the show for the show, not just for Hook and/or CS. If they had killed off my favorite, yes, I’d be mad and sad. But I’d still watch. Because I’m here for the story. I think when you have shows with a large ensemble, you almost have to keep yourself from falling too in love with one character – because anything can happen. It’s not like when it’s the Joe Schmo Show – without Joe Schmo, there is no show…(ok, that’s a lot of rhyming, sorry for that!) I do feel for those that are hurting though. I do hope they come back when they’re ready. I am certainly not trying to belittle anyone’s pain or sadness.
I liked Neal, and I am feeling a little spoiled because my favorite was spared. So I am conflicted. I’ve been angry from the beginning that Neal’s storyline felt the least fleshed out and most contrived. Why did he HAVE to leave Emma and let her go to jail? Never got a good answer for that one. What was Neal doing during the 11 years he was separated from Emma/Henry? Dunno, they never really let us know. How are we supposed to understand that he loved Tamara and intended to marry her but loved Emma and wasn’t going to stop fighting? Ok, that’s just sloppy writing. And I am miserable about not getting some quality CaptainFire!! MRJ acted the heck out of what he was given though.
People are going to hate what they hate and see what they see. But I liked how they handled Neal in relation to CS in this episode. He seemed…to understand CS, and that it is going to happen. Maybe he knew he was going to die – and I’m not entirely sure he knew…? Maybe because he loves Emma and wants what’s best – and realizes there’s too much that’s happened with him and Emma to really ever go back? I don’t know. But I did get the sense that CS will happen, Neal would be supportive of it, and we will see CS respect and honor the fact that Neal was important to both Emma & Hook.
I’m looking forward to Hook & Henry bonding next week…but at the same time, not looking forward to it. You know there’s going to be backlash. But like this episode, I guess you just have to watch out for the hate and dismiss it… I will say, I am quite happy this forum didn’t seem to fall apart at it’s seams after yesterday’s episode. There was a lot of emotion, and it was tense at times, but I didn’t see any real disrespect or accusations when I was on. That made me happy.
