Ha, Ha!! “Welcome to our creepy, dark Gothic wedding!!”
I’ve been too busy spreading CS sunshine and joy throughout the realms to comment on the “splashy wedding.” I’m a Rumbelle fan but . . . what the heck?? Was that not the most depressing wedding on the history of television??? I am very confused. Could Rumple not magic up some decorations and flowers? And the dress??? EVERYTHING Belle wore in the EF and most of what she has worn in SB was dressier than what she wore to her own wedding!! Rumple dressed Emma and Killy to the nines for a ball but couldn’t wip up something nice for his BRIDE??? And they name the flippin’ baby after Rumple’s son but NO ONE attends his wedding??? No one goes to Belle’s wedding??? How is it possible that Rumbelle got married like . . . that???
Thank goodness I was screaming and jumping up and down from happiness and doing a CS victory dance during the entire ceremony so I really didn’t care much about the wedding anyway . . .
OMG I just read this. Hits the nail right on the head. Now, someone please write some good fan fic about that whole scenario.

Yes, this is simply perfect. And it just screams smutty fanfic!! Sorry, I had to.
I loved the whole past Hook part of the show. Honestly, it may have been the best part of the show because you could tell Colin and JMo were having so darn much fun with it. Oddly, although I know they were already good friends before it seems like they must have bonded quite a bit working together so much filming the finale and it really came through in the way they acted together I think – especially in the past Hook scenes, they played off each other perfectly.
I don’t know – there were so many great parts of the finale and they were both so good at everything they did. I don’t understand how anyone could not ship them after the Captain Swan movie.
Love that video Bo! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Sooooo I know I have been slack & havent posted my thoughts on the episode per say…. I just cant gather my thoughts enough to do so if Im honest- thats not to say I havent thought about the ep/movie a lot & dont have them, because I have & do lol- I just cant get them out & into a coherent order that makes any sense is all lol & I’ll be honest- I’d give Kat a run for her money on longest post if I tried hard to do so LOL :p 😉
But I do want to talk about 2 things now- 1 has been so well said by another person I will quote their thoughts (since they match mine exactly!) & there is no way I could say it any better, the 2nd/other hasnt been brought up, but I’ll do my best to do what i’m thinking justice there as well….. this will be long!!!!!
1st ….
Alright so I really need to talk about this scene. Now I’m going to point out the obvious and say that when Killian asked if she cared about anyone in the town, he was referring to himself, and that Emma knew that he was, or at least, I personally believe that she did.
Because her ‘of course I care’ wasn’t defensive. It wasn’t angry or contemptuous or anything of the sort. That reply was one thing, and one thing only: reassuring.
Because for a split second, because of how eagerly Emma wanted to leave Storybrooke, and by extension, him, Killian believed that she didn’t care about him, not in a romantic way, not in a platonic way, zilch. He was at the point where he thought that she felt nothing for him.
But then Emma takes one look at his face, sees that things just turned personal, sees the doubt there and reassures him, she tells him that she does care about him, obviously not in so many words and not in specifics, but her tone said everything that she wasn’t.
And then we have Killian’s face after she says ‘of course I care’. He literally looks like he’s holding back tears, I mean he even swallows a lump in his throat. That’s how much Emma leaving him is destroying and despite how sad this is, it’s a truly beautiful and under appreciated scene in the finale, because Killian has reassured Emma countless times since he met her. Every time she was vulnerable he was there, building her back up again. But this is the first time we see that the roles are reversed.
I think what people forget is that Killian has walls almost as high as Emma. It’s so rare that he needs to be comforted by other characters or seeks emotional assistance. But here, Killian is the vulnerable one, the one who needed reassuring and Emma was able to provide it. He looks into her eyes after she replies with her reassurance and he drops her gaze because it just struck him how he’d let his own walls down and that caused a different type of intensity between Emma and Killian that we haven’t seen before.
The 2nd point.
I LOVED how this (point 1) is brought up again just before our beyond fantastic kiss outside Granny’s (no wonder they blocked that scene from the public! 😉 ). Here Killian isnt sure at all if Emma really feels for him as he does for her- I mean he knows she feels ‘something/cares about him’, but he doesnt know if she will ‘let him in’. He is hesitant still here to reveal just how much he has given up for her, as he doesnt know, nor want to force her hand.
In this moment he’s not sure where he stands with her, his pain over not knowing if Emma considers him her “family” keeps him from going in & being apart of the family reunion/naming party, again he gives Emma the space she needs to come to her own conclusions (& again it is at his own cost)- even after everything they’ve just been through together (yet again), he’s still used to Emma backing off & away from love/happiness & this we see has hit home- will she be ‘warm, open Emma’ from their adventure or ‘cold, closed off Emma’ post adventure. This is kind of borne out by the fact Emma searches him out & says “…Everything besides our little adventure would go back to normal”– not exactly something Killy is hoping for at that stage, he’d rather Emma not go back to her “normal” ‘cold, closed off post adventure self’ 😉 .. hence the other side of his “Everything’s back to normal…” sentence, then as always he lifts Emma up with “you’re a bloody hero Swan”. He NEEDS her to feel good about herself, no matter how she feel may or may not feel about him.
Things only really change when Emma returns with “So are you. I wanted to thank you Killian”. her tone & manner change as she says this,she wants him to know that she appreciates what he’s done for her & as soon as she say’s his name, she grabs his attention- I think you can almost see the hope rising in him at that point. She continues on- all the while trying to maintain eye contact with him:
Emma “For coming/going back for me in the 1st place in NY, if you hadnt…”
Killy “It was the right thing to do”– here we see Killy insisting Emma doesnt “owe” him anything for comeing back for her- he doesnt want her to owe him anything, in any way at all.
Then we take a beat here to see Emma process, then ask what has been on her mind since he brought her back….
Emma “”How did you do it? How did you get to me?” I think in this moment Emma truly knows he wouldnt have committed an evil/bad act to get back to her & she is truly curious as to how he could have possibly returned to a land without magic, without magic & it goes to show how much he/ that act in itself had been on her mind (it’s the 3rd time SHE has brought it up directly in 11eps & the 6th or 7th time it has been talked about in as many eps), she has obviously been rolling the idea around in her head for sometime. The fact she continues to be the one trying to maintain eye contact with him, allows him to hope she is open enough to ‘hear’ the story now.
Killy “Well, the curse was coming. I ditched my crew & took the JR as fast & as far as I possibly could to our run it”
Emma “You out ran a curse?!” * Impressed & surprised*
Killy “I’m a hell of a captain”
Emma: *smiles & chuckles* Which gives Killy the confidence to continue on with the story
Killy “& Once, I was outside of the curses purview. I knew that the walls were down, transport between the worlds was possible again, all I needed was a magic bean”
Emma “those are not easy to come by”
Killy “they are, if you’ve got something of value.. to trade” Voice drops off, as he isnt exactly sure how this next bit will go down- which way Emma will go with her response.
Emma “& what was that”– IMO here she was thinking what treasure/loot did he give up to get the bean… She never would have guessed at his level of sacrifice for her… his home.
Killy “Why the Jolly Roger of course”, the mask & smile he puts on to cover the pain of that sacrifice is noble as hell- i mean he doesnt want Emma to feel “bad” in any way if she takes it how she usually would & runs, again Killy is putting Emma’s emotional needs above his own, he made his choice, come what may & he is leaving Emma free to make of it what she will.
Emma *look of total shock & awe* “You traded your ship for me?”
Killy “Aye” The depth of that sacrifice is easy to read on his face now IMO.
Back to Emma’s awed & now staggered expression- I think in that moment she really “got” that Killy not only will go to the ends of the earth, cross realms/worlds & time for her, stand by her no matter what, risk his life for her or Henry, but that he literately has given all he has in the world for her, his home, his one constant…ALL for her well being & not once has he told her how much he has given up for her, committed to her, in an effort to win her love without walls, without influencing her decision in anyway. Everything he has done this season has been for her- whether she knew it or not, at his expense & she finally got to see that, acknowledge that & you know what….for me that was FAR & AWAY a much bigger pay off than TLK could have ever been. Emma accepting Killian’s love without walls 🙂
Just that whole scene-Killian’s despair that Emma may have gone back to “normal” & have walls up again now she was home, after getting so close to her (again) during their adventures, his hope when she was acting open & warmly towards him, the reserve & hesitation still lingering as they talked & the awe & hope right before that magical sweet kiss in them both.
Then the voice over while they are kissing, describing Emma’s & Killy’s relationship journey “I was an enemy of love. Love had only brought me pain. My walls were up. But you broke them down. You brought me home.”
*looses train of thought* i am done, just done… again 🙂 <3
Now I have to run off, feed out & chuck my babies winter cover on (it’s finally getting a bit chilly at night YAAAAAY I LOVE winter 😀 ), but when i’m back I’ll read all the links people have recommended/ posted before dinner …cant wait to read others takes on this wonderful ep/movie 🙂
He traveled between worlds to find her
He followed her through time
He brought down her walls
He brought her home
@surayya: I agree–that part, that he didn’t mention having given up the Jolly Roger to get back to her until she asked directly and he had no choice–that was one of the biggest points against the whole “jerk-who-can’t-take-no-for-an-answer” argument as far as I’m concerned. I mean, how many times could he have thrown that in her face if he’d wanted to? Adorable!
I do wonder though if he/they might try to get the ship back at some point next season. I kinda want that to happen, because come on–how can they have Captain Hook without the Jolly Roger? However, that might sort of negate the enormity of his sacrifice. I guess a lot would also depend on the circumstances of the trade and who has it now though. And while I’m not holding my breath, I’d love to get more information about that whole thing next season, for that reason and because I’m hoping there’s more to the ditching-his-crew thing. That doesn’t exactly seem like a great thing to do! I suppose my personal headcanon right now is that he told them what he was going to do and they thought he was crazy so they asked to be dropped off. But anyway, they still do have those JR sets around, right? I just think it’d be a waste not to use them again… 😉
