Wahhh whine. Our 5pm family mothers day dinner still hasn’t started because my dad is putting together my nephews sea saw and said nephew is here to get put of her hair and they are not even coming to my mom’s for dinner because my sister wanted to relax. So know I won’t be able to live chat. I’m sooo disappointed. Although I just stopped in and it’s looking hostile and the usual aggressive people are crying foul. Sore LOSERS. yes I said it. Neals dead and SQ is not ever happening. Yeah sorry. I’m super grumpy. Good thing I had a fantastic day with my little boys who made me super happy picking their pirates shirts to wear today and being all about swan s at the zoo!. Great day and I know tonight will be even better. Have Fun Everyone And Just Remember We Are RIGHT They Are Wrong And CS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. sorry for the random caps. .. my phone and this site don’t like one another
[adrotate group="5"]Then we have a large gap between Tallahassee and Manhattan. By then they knew that they could continue on with what they always planned to do which is CS. By the time Manhattan rolled around, they were blatantly paralleling Neal/Emma to Milah/Rumple (almost verbatim) and making a point that maybe they were meant to have been together for something (namely Henry) and that was it. That was in there from their very first reunion (along with JMO’s interview right after that episode aired that made it clear that Emma wanted him in Henry’s life but that she wasn’t going back to him. Pretty sure JMO has to know that kind of stuff to play it accurately, just like I’m sure Colin’s scripts almost always have something about staring longingly at Emma. They have to know what their character is up to and already knows, much like JMO knowing who Henry’s father was in S1 even though others didn’t.)
I whole heartedly agree. I know parallels can be a sour point, but honestly, the dialogue in Manhattan, Milah freaking out over Rumple leaving the battlefield and Emma freaking out over Neal leaving her because Pinnochio said it was alright, were red flags that Neal and Emma probably were not true loves, or meant to end up together in the present.
And Adam and Eddie and JMo especially know Emma’s psyche better than anyone. Whenever Jen says something in an interview about Emma’s emotions, she tends to be pretty accurate.
- They spent a season building up how much hatred Emma has regarding Neal and their past
- Hook was supposed to come in and be her love interest but have to test things first
- Parallel her past to her present to make sense of why she’s reacting the way she is (ie: too afraid to trust him because she’s been burned before)
- THEN IT ALL FAILS
I re-watched Tallahassee last night, and to me, it solidified Emma has trust issues. Especially after Neal left her to bring the watches to the feds, the very hopeful look on young Emma’s face about finding home. Finding home, going home, her family, a place where she is loved, that’s always been a big part of Emma’s character. So when the cop showed up and learned that Neal left, I felt for Emma.
We know why Neal left but think about the situation from Emma’s perspective (which is something we almost always do most of the time): the guy she loved, the man who promised her home, skipped out on her and let her take the fall for his crime. I wonder what could be going through her mind? That Neal never loved her, he was using her, that his promise to find Tallahassee was only that a promise and never meant to follow through with it.
And looking back now, probably the only reason Neal and Emma met was to have Henry. And that’s likely the case now. But because of what Neal did, he could never be anything more than a friend to her in the present. Emma letting Neal back into her life romantically would be a huge risk for her because he could let her down again and bam, those walls come right back up again. But Emma learned how to trust again because of Hook and she’s going to have to trust him in the finale.
The finale was so much fun! That’s all I’ve got right now because 1) I need to process and 2) the crap being spewed on chat right now is driving me insane. I guess it was ok in chat during the show (although seriously? if we had ‘ew’d during a SF kiss there would’ve been crud to pay) but I had to jump out after a while. So bed, process and I can’t wait to hear everyone’s opinions!!
THE FINALE WAS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED AND DREAMED OF AND MORE!! EPIC WISH FULFILLMENT! TAKE A BOW, A&E!
I’M SORRY, I’M INCAPABLE OF PROCESSING ANYTHING..AM AN INCOHERENT MESS OF FEELS. I’LL JUST GO BACK TO RE-WATCHING THE EPISODE TILL MY EYES WEAR OUT AND RE-BLOGGING EVERY GIF TILL MY FINGERS BLEED!
I know that we’ll all be waking up to lots of great gifs in the morning, but it’s late and I’m going to bed with visions of this tonight
Perfect just perfect
