ONCE - Once Upon a Time podcast
Reviews, theories, and talk about ABC's Once Upon a Time TV show
nobody messes with Eala!
POM I’m going to have to agree with Eala here. Your post in the SF thread was worded so as to encourage hatred of Hook.
And I’m also going to have to agree with Eala about the parallels between Hook/Charming/Rumple because they were also kissed without their consent.
There isn’t really argument you can make here. Like Eala said, either you think Hook/Charming/Rumple’s actions are “rapeish” or you don’t. You can’t have it both ways.
I can see what you guys mean about sticking to the CS thread. It’s a nasty world out there.
Hello! I’m “delurking” as you say here 🙂 I feel like I know you all! I’ve been trying for a week or so to register with this site, I eventually had to create a facebook profile to do it (and I had done so well avoiding facebook!).
This is the first time I’ve gone online in search of other people to talk to about a show. I always thought Emma and Hook had fantastic chemistry, but wasn’t sure they weren’t going to go the “Neal route” and didn’t want to get emotionally invested. After 3×05, I finally decided I had to learn everything I could and I found myself at this site!!! I have read this entire thread, as well as the Swanfire thread, because I like to see other points of view. However, I am satisfied that far from “over interpreting” everything, Captain Swanners are actually dead on target a lot of the time (the way you predicted the kiss and everything, omg I was amazed!). 99% of arguments that the SFs make against Captain Swan are refuted here to my satisfaction. Like Eala, I value logic a lot, and when I’ve read just how skilfully everyone breaks down the show here (I had no idea until I came online how complex it was!!!).. well lets just say that you’ve fully convinced me that Captain Swan are endgame, and you have no idea how happy that makes me! (actually I think you all do ha ha).
Jenna B – I too read that argument about what the SFers had to say about that gif set, and calling Hook a rapist again! That argument is, in my humble opinion, ridiculous. He kissed her, he didn’t try to hold her down and didn’t resist when she pushed him away.
p.s. Eala I really love all those gifsets you’re posting.
