ParticipantHE – thank you for your kind words! They are much appreciated…to be quite honest I almost hit my breaking point yesterday, I was so sick and tired of feeling like I walk around on eggshells 90% of the time and get dumped on if I venture outside this one thread. I was this close to leaving the forum altogether (seriously it’s a sad day when tumblr is more positive)but my shipmates and fellow OUATers had some excellent posts here to draw me back in!
Glad I missed this last lot of negativity- I’ve been floating on a CS high (Odd as that seems after this last ep, but we’ve got so much stuff to look forward to now our ship is all but a cannon, main, TL couple now lol)

ParticipantLOL & here we have Zelena, the biggest CS shipper of them all 😉

I think we need to just take a moment to also appreciate just how bat sh… poop crazy Zelena is in this scene- not only is she torturing Killy, she apparently gets all excited over feeding kids to monkeys … I mean it takes a special kind of crazy, twisted, sadistic, psycho to get a kick out of feeding children to their pets o.O …. really going to enjoy seeing team CS bring her down for good- no hugging it out this time :/

ParticipantABC is now offically on the CS train lol
Hook admits to Ariel that they had met before. He’s ashamed that he sacrificed finding her true love to get back his ship. There’s only one way Ariel can trust him now. He must swear in the name of his true love. Hook does as she asks. He swears on Emma Swan’s name. Ariel is pleased. She declares that this is exactly what she wanted before revealing her true identity. Hook is stunned to see Ariel is, in reality, Zelena…..
& they made of point of noting Henry’s well being has become important to Hook.
Hook realizes Zelena can’t hurt Emma, but she can hurt those around her. This includes Henry. Hook is ordered to kiss Emma to remove her powers or everyone she loves dies.
Bless them, they also point out Emma has had growing feelings for Hook the whole time.
Hook shows up at Emma’s place. The story he tells about his day with Ariel is half true at best. Regina wants to look in on Ariel. She can do so with Emma’s help. They see Ariel and Eric together on the island. This has Emma believing Hook is the one who reunited them. It only endears him to her even more. Hook tries to make a hasty exit, but Emma lets him know she doesn’t care about whatever it is he isn’t telling her. She’s tired of living in the past. Hook knows exactly how she feels
The haters can say as they please, honestly EVERYONE who matters is all but screaming “it’s been leading up to CS the whole time” We are not wearing shipping goggles, but the haters ARE. Those that say they havent seen any indication of Emma’s feelings toward Hook etc. & CS is happening to fast, need to go rewatch the show from S2 on WITHOUT THEIR HATER GOGGLES ON! Emma lost Neal over a decade ago, his death was simply a means to put that chapter of her life to bed once & for all- like she said ‘he reminder her of all that pain & his death would make it easier for her to move on’, while that is how the cookie crumbled & she has truly moved on now. I’m sorry if that sound harsh to any NF or Sf fans reading this, but it is the truth. Emma & Hook had a connection from the moment they meet, Emma felt ‘something’ for him right from the start- enough to scar her into betraying him- just in case! From that moment on, CS has been the slow burning, TL story smoulding away in the background of many episodes all through S2, then it became a growing blaze in 3A, now in 3B its a roaring fire, I can only guess that S4 will see CS being the full on blazing bonfire we’ve been leading up too, right along side Snowing, Rumbelle & OQ 🙂

ParticipantThe more I think about it the more I am okay with how everything went down in this episode. I think a lot of “Hook Haters” had a semi-valid point regarding Hook changing just for Emma because you couldn’t prove it one way or the other. Now with hope of her pretty much lost it is a lot easier to prove that Hook is changing *because* of Emma and her impact on him. Emma re-awakened Killian Jones and he is going to battle internally between KJ who wants to be an honorable man for himself and Hook who has suffered for hundreds of years and has lost everyone he loves. I think this was shown really well with his “you can’t go back. I have tried and it doesn’t work.” The Killian side of him is expressing guilt and self-loathing that he cannot ignore so he is no longer able to be happy with the pirate life anymore.
I think Killian will always have some Hook in him. You can’t keep a 300+ year side of you dormant forever but his honorable side is going to win when it counts. Once again I think this has been shown well so far in 3B. Killian teaching Henry to cheat at dice is a perfect example.
As to the ship thing I am still a little disappointed but not surprised. I wish he would have at least offered to help her. Have any of the heroes in this show been “tested” in a similar way though? Having to give up the only thing they had left to help a stranger with absolutely no benefit to them? The closest I can come up with is Charming when he helped Abigail but as far as he was concerned he had already lost everything since Snow told him she didn’t love him because of King George. Rumple’s sacrifice doesn’t count because he was saving who he loved most. Same with Regina at the end of 3A.
I have to say overall I am pretty darn excited though. It was angsty but very good stuff for our ship. Think Killian’s curse will be taken care of in Epi 19 since A&E wrote that one? I would assume that is going to be a big episode because of that. From what I can tell there are almost zero spoilers for that episode as well. Anybody know of any?
I rarely leave this thread because even here there is Hook hate. I will read chat but I don’t participate and if it starts to get anti-Hook I just stop because I don’t want to be baited lol. Ever since Neal’s death is does feel like CSers have to walk on eggshells otherwise we are being insensitive and/or cruel. I gloat a little to my husband just because he really doesn’t care about the show that much but I would never throw it in someone’s face who was really invested.
I might have brought hubby to the CS side a bit because I showed him that meta someone posted about Hook’s journey from hero to pirate to villian, etc. He was surprised at all the things that were pointed out (like how Pan was the first villain to offer Emma as reward instead of revenge on Rumple) and is now not as much of a Hook Hater 🙂

ParticipantOooohh I was reading a CS fic and in it Hook thought about how TLK is supposed to break any curse but how he tried TLK once before and it didn’t work. Do you think that will come up at all in the actual show? I think it would be good to revisit that and maybe the Charmings tell him it doesn’t work when memories are lost. There hasn’t been any mention of it at all about him trying TLK despite the fact that Emma would obviously remember that he tried.

I hope they’ll talk about it, but I wouldn’t wonder if it’s left out, like so many other things on this show… Maybe the Charmings or Regina will tell him when he tells them about Zelenas curse about kissing Emma (IF he does tell them…). But I think Hook has no lack of selfconfidence and Hope so it wont harm him that much not to know it for the first 🙂

I didnt even try to venture out of here. I feel better that i didnt. I’m so wound tight at work I dont think i could deal with those people.
Speaking of landing back on page 2… does anyone have issues when using their phone? My keeps moving the cursor to the front of the word and it doubles letters. any one else have this on their phone or is it just me?
