oooh also, I just read this wonderful review of the mid-season finale! Here is a sample:
“No, we had to see this character hit rock bottom to be able to appreciate his arc, to be able to understand how his redemption is not just about Emma, it’s about who he wanted to be all along. She’s not the reason he changed, she’s the reason he decided he could.”

Wishes:
1. I want the season to end with Emma and Hook back and finally enjoying that lovely house. That girl needs a break and some RnR.
2. I am really hoping there will be some great snark between Hades and Hook. Scratch that – I want a snark fest with Regina, Hook and Hades. Please let the snark be good! This is a great opportunity for some comic relief.
3. I want there to be another time jump. Henry looks too old for a 13 old and baby snowflake would be more interesting as a toddler.
4. Baby hood to get a name and for Regina and Robin to retrieve Zelena once they are finished with the UW business.
5. A resolution for the camelot crew.
6. Check-ins with Storybrooke and Granny, the Dwarfs, Belle, Dr. Whale etc. I hope the rest of the season doesn’t focus JUST on the UW. Maybe a check-in with Ruby and Mulan. I know I wasn’t a fan of the bear king episode, but I have ALWAYS loved Ruby’s character and wouldn’t mind seeing more of her if it made sense with the plot.
7. I want to see Liam 1 and also find out what happened to Liam 2
8. More baby hook. Oliver Bell did a great job and I would be happy to see him again in more flashbacks
9. Snowing and Emma to bond more.
10. More explanation from Rumple about why he became the DO and how it happened – I’m still a bit lost on the jar o’ magic solution and the motive seems a bit weak. More explanation and reasoning behind this would be great – OH and maybe a real redemption for his character this time.

And the hiatus begins! What are your thoughts shipmates?
The mid-season finale had some ups and downs and definitely left me scratching my head about some of the unanswered questions from the season…but my god that scene with Emma killing hook and then being just devastated holding him. OOOOh the feels. Especially when they take his body away and Emma is holding his hand….Sorry crying again.
I’m excited they are going to the UW to get hook back and see what happens. I am really hoping there will be some great snark between Hades and Hook. I want the season to end with Emma and Hook back and finally enjoying that lovely house. That girl needs a break and some RnR.

Someone help me out: how does Rumple have the dagger if Excalibur disintegrated?
Yeah is Excalibur then kicking around somewhere as well? I mean if the dagger was regenerated why not the rest of the sword? Is it back in the stone?
Also how was Merlin’s voicemail helpful? How was Nimue going to help them? I thought it was going to be that in order to defeat the darkness Nimue had to be destroyed, but that wasn’t the case. In fact I think the best advice would have been to avoid Nimue at all costs…
Didn’t Regina need to be “dark” to use the wand? Last I checked it wasn’t a confidence issue…
Why is rumple going to the UW with them? Surely he could just open the portal and let them have at it, I don’t get what he gains from going. Sorry are the heroes going to bail on going to the UW if he doesn’t go along?
How does pouring jar o’ magic on Excalibur make rumple the DO again?
… I need to stop or I will be here all day.

Nothing about this makes any sense whatsoever. Not from a storytelling standpoint, not based on the supposed rules and everything relating to DOs, not in any way. Absolutely the worst twist they could’ve possibly pulled. The show just did a backflip over a dozen sharks. Everything Rumple-related that has happened this season was just thrown out the window and we’re back to square 1. Or square -1.
It feels like really bad fanfiction written by someone who is very anti-rumple on tumblr…

I also dont understand the mechanics of how it even happened. Was the answer literally just squid ink?

Arthur should still be in a jail cell and the rest are on forgotten character island now.

Seriously whiplash guys… Rumbelle had some great moments this episode and seemed like rumple really was going to be a hero… I was genuinely happy for them for the first time in a while…but nope DO again?!?

TGIF shipmates! Boy this has been a rocky season! BUT I want to spread some positivity and hope. I posted this on tumblr already, but thought I would dust off this thread and share some thoughts here. As we prepare ourselves for this Sunday’s episode I made a list of the top 10 things I am feeling positive about for my OTP. Most of these are related to spoilers so I am just going to spoiler tag the entire list.
1. Sunday’s episode will end with our heroes venturing off to the UW to rescue our favorite pirate! Emma will go to hell and back to be with her true love and the heroes will be there beside her! We know this from the 5B spoilers. YAY!
2. Killian will sacrifice himself. This is speculative, but based on the spoilers it seems damn likely. We know there is a musical theme called “sacrifice” and why would the heroes head to the UW to rescue DO!Hook? Answer: he redeems himself! Either it is a long con or in the final moments Killian comes out of his DO trance to do the right thing!
3. Snow in the Sneak Peek! We know Snow defended Emma’s decision to save Killian and in the sneak peek she reminds Emma of their love! Awwww the feels!
4. Despite being crazy evil (or seeming evil depending on where you stand on the long con theory) we know that Killian let Rumple have Excalibur and he fixed his limp; one of the reasons he said he was angry with Rumple was for filling Emma with darkness; and he stopped Merida from physically harming Emma.
5. Recent spoilers confirm Emma will meet Milah – I’m actually pretty excited to see this interaction and learn more about Milah. I doubt there will be a weird love triangle based on the spoilers we have seen and I think this will be good for a few characters to get some closure.
6. Papa hook!
7. No more Dark Swan! Regardless of Dark Hook/ Captain Dark One’s fate, we know Emma will be back to her savoir self and in the infamous red jacket!
8. Baby Killian was cast and he is adorable!
9. Colin was filming with the actor they cast to play Hades… God I can’t wait for the snark!
10. A&E said if you like CS to keep watching! Emma is the lead so of course they can’t have her getting a TL kiss with Killian right away.For dramatic effect it needs to have some bumps in the road, but these two are end game. period.
Okay those are my top 10 things I am feeling positive about. What are your top ten?
