"To leave an enemy without an answer, say these words to him: Aglaria Pidhol garia Ananus Qepta" and blow in his direction; then he will not know which way he is headed and cannot answer you." - Swedish Trollproverb
Okay this was waaaaay too hard, but I tried to pick shows that really impacted me and different aspects of my life and not just which shows are in my opinion the top ten best TV Shows.
In no particular order:
1. Dr. Who – I am come on, of course it is in this list!
2. Glee – I was in show choir in high school, was president of my college glee club (not a show choir) and I met my partner of 10+ years in choir, so yes this corny goofy show really gets to me even with its unrealistic depictions of high school students and over the top productions.
3. OUAT – As someone who grew up on Disney I instantly became hooked on this show (for better or worse lol)
4. Parks and Recreation – probably one of my favorite comedy shows. I would have put 30 Rock here as it is a bit more witty, but P&R edges it out because this is my go to need-something-to-watch-with-my-partner-and-unwind show.
5. Game of Thrones – I didn’t get into the book series until after I watched the first season but now I am obsessed with it!
6. Charmed – my go to show in high school
7. Freak and Geeks – why was this only one season?!
8. Bill Nye the Science Guy/ Magic school bus – I couldn’t decide between these two – both got me interested in space and science as a kid.
9. The Crocodile Hunter – this show got me to love nature shows and a drive to travel and see the world.
10. Arrested Development"To leave an enemy without an answer, say these words to him: Aglaria Pidhol garia Ananus Qepta" and blow in his direction; then he will not know which way he is headed and cannot answer you." - Swedish Trollproverb

Without reading anyone else’s response, I would give this episode maybe a 4.5/10? There were so many things wrong with it that I just couldn’t get past that seeing the storyline beneath was very difficult.
Liked:
– The first Hook and Emma moment where Emma helped Hook make DO Head Rumple disappear. It was very sweet to see how powerful they can be together. (Note: This is the ONLY Hook and Emma moment I liked this episode… which is very odd for me as I do ship Captain Swan)
– Zelina in the hospital. “You are just doing your job. Poorly, but you are doing it”. They are writing her so much better lately, and I really went from despising her character to not minding her all that much.
– Robin and Regina welcoming Zelina into the family (a little) and not just keeping her from her child. Mainly, thank you writers for not making it a blood battle to see who gets to be mother.
– DO head Rumple’s little “hi…” like he knew Hook would not be happy to see him. I laughed.
– Emma and Henry finally together again. Thank goodness.
– Snow telling Charming to wake up and stop being hypocritical that they would have done the exact same thing as Emma.
Disliked
– So this was a big pet peeve of mine during the episode. Throughout the series (Season 1 especially) Snow and Charming saw the best in everyone. They chose to trust people. They chose to see the good past the evil. Even when EQ Regina was after Snow she chose to see the best in her and remember the woman she was when she rescued her on the horse all those years ago. However, they cannot see the best in their own daughter??? The fact that they so easily agreed not to take the cuff off her just bothered me. That they didn’t trust the darkness in her. This seemed so OOC for them. But I guess it was Mary Margret and David talking – not Snow and Charming. These were my favorite characters in the first season – they believed in hope and goodness and had that Disney air about them while still being B.A. Now, they are so much their Storybrook counterparts its almost like Snow and Charming was just a dream.
– Hook. Hook and all your dirty disgusting lines. The writers took one of my favorite characters and ruined him. I would have loved to see the Pirate I fell in love with in Season 2 who was saucy and smooth. But this Hook was just disgusting. He called a woman soiled. SOILED. On a family show. Essentially announcing he (for lack of a better way of saying it) “had his way with her” and was done. It also made it seem like he cared nothing about Meliah and she was just a toy for him, which (hook fan or not) I think we can all agree he loved that woman and would not have spent centuries trying to get revenge if he hadn’t. Honestly, between the Marian, Robin, Zelina situation, Hook’s soiled line, and Regina and Graham, I think these writers have a really really sick mind. Quite frankly, we have less information about TL “love making” than we do about forced or meaningless “love making”. Would it hurt for them to encourage the young viewership that this should be a bond between two people in love. Not something you do for fun to impress your shipmates and make another man feel belittled. The message they are sending out is disgraceful and they should seriously be ashamed. Honestly, this line and this message may keep me from finishing a series I have been dedicated to for 4 years. It was extremely offensive.
– Sooooo we can just bring people back from the dead now? Let me guess, there is some loophole in which the DO’s can be brought back from the dead because they were once immortal and killed by the power of the dagger, but regular people like Graham and Neal can’t be brought back. Calling it now.
– The whole Hook-kills-Merlin-because-he-has-Nimue-inside-him-as-a-dark-one thing. I feel like Rumple could have cast the dark curse like a looooonnnngggggg time ago with this theory in mind. I mean, why didn’t he just take the thing Zozo loved most and kill it? Problem solved.
– Also, 5 minute dark curse vs 9 month dark curse?
I am sending lots of virtual hugs!!!! I felt the same way and was really bothered by this episode, which is why I wasn’t planning to post a review/thoughts on it.
I was so mad at Emma’s family for treating her that way. It was horrible and she did not deserve it. How is what Emma wanted to do that different from what Snow did to Cora? Zelena takes responsibility for Neal’s death and gloats about it, she teamed up with Arthur and would have gladly killed the entire charming family…yeah I agree Emma should not have been planning to kill Zelena, but it’s not like it was that unreasonable of a plan considering the circumstances. Emma is also feeling isolated and NEEDS love and her family just gives her the cold shoulder. Seriously, Snow and Charming have been ruined for me ever since the baby-snatching episode. I mostly just try to forget it ever happened so that I can continue watching the show and enjoy it – I will probably have to do the same with Hook this episode. I have always loved hook’s character and been a fan of his redemption arc. This Dark!Hook though seems so crazily OOC. It just wasn’t believable his turning on Emma. Maybe if it was built up more and there was this creeping sense of Emma not trusting him, along with Rumple whispering in his ear, I could buy it. However, the whole turning on Emma took what 5 minutes? It felt very rushed and not believable. The things he said to her were pretty nasty and again felt rushed and unbelievable. Also if Hook was soo EVVVUL why did he bother healing Rumple? why did he sword fight him and not just take his heart? Surely that would have been an easier way to destroy him and get the blood too. Also if he wants to snuff out the light and hates Emma now, why did Hook say he wanted Rumple’s head for filling Emma with darkness? Hook this episode was so contradictory and OOC.. I can’t even take the line about Milah seriously – it makes zero sense considering he loved her enough to spend over 100 years trying to avenge her death.. I don’t know who thought that line was a good idea. I just don’t get these writers.
I haven’t even touched the whole belle/rumple at the well scene and I think I will just not get into that now/in short again very OOC.
I hope the mid-season finale can fix this mess. I send lots of hugs! I really get your frustration as a fellow CS shipper. <3 <3 <3

Okay I am popping back into this thread because I have a theory. I am back on the “I dont think it was the Dark Curse” wagon.
A&E claim that Emma crushed a heart to get back to Storybrooke. Maybe she figuratively “crushed” Hook’s heart by turning him into the thing he HATES most. We know this action did turn Emma dark. Dark enough to use Merlin’s wand even! Last time we saw the wand Emma had it and was asking Zelena if she could use it again, but I think that was all a ploy to get her to eat baby growing onion rings. Why does Emma have the wand then? The time we saw it before then Regina had it and I don’t recall her giving it to Emma. So maybe Emma uses the wand to get everyone back since we know it can create portals and Emma just uses other Dark magic to steal the memories.
Thoughts?

Yeah, but at this point they’ve all had amnesia so often (some of them for twice their biological ages!) that you’d think they’d be used to it.
Lol, true for the snowings that is for sure. But, now you have me thinking, has hook had a memory wipe yet? I think this is his first case of it. He missed the first one. He was frozen in time with Cora, but he didn’t lose his memory and the second curse he was the only one to escape it, right? Are there any other memory wipes I am forgetting (this question is a bit meta)? Funny, I never realized that before until now.

though they still have Hook demanding answers from Emma as if it’s his god given right. If Emma really did whatever she did to save Hook then he is one ungrateful pirate.
Well to be fair, she did take his memories from him and from her family…so I can kinda understand why he and the rest of her family would want answers. They all want to help her. I would feel a bit violated if someone wiped my memory…

If you look closely in the one where merlin is choking snow darth vader style, it looks like hook has unchained himself.

Has anyone seen this BTS photo yet? It looks like Emma is drawing darkness out of hook, or maybe she is putting dark one magic in him? Either way hook is not looking too good in this pic 0.o
