Honestly?
What a holy mess!
Several wonderful laugh lines. Emma:*What should I call you now, Captain Hand?* and Elsa: *…the only time I ever made anyone sweat* and subtly endearing Kristoff: “Well, I was going to say bad, but*. Snow finally broke out of her matronly stupor and was…cute 🙂 And the dartboard miss was a great comic moment.
Also there were some genuine sweet and touching (no pun intended) moments during the date scenes. They all look like they had so much fun filming them. It is always an interesting scene when Emma opens the door to find Hook there. The entwined hand hug is fast becoming Emma’s and Hook’s affectionate trademark and it is perfect for them! And the shot of Hook hugging Emma’s back with both hands while she was wrapped in his jacket…totally heart tugging sweet. Nice smooch. They fit.
Will, I don’t know him and never watched Wonderland but I know his True Love story and the few seconds on his face when he saw the Wonderland book and the torn out picture of the Red Queen were wrenchingly tender and achy-soul gold.
Speaking of *gold*…jaysussss…I missed bad-arsed Rumple and edgy Hook, but even loving the bantering between Carlyle and Colin returning…whaaaat? Huh??? Who were these people (still laughing and mostly entertained from the sheer ping pong of who: has what control/no you don’t/oh,yes I do,/is changing /isn’t changing, is lying/is not/is, too, can hurt your girlfriend/already did/so there.) I’ve written a longer comment elsewhere in the vast wasteland of Internet chat but. truly, this is wacko in half a dozen ways.
Briefly, the hand in the jar was Killian Jone’s. A man who at the time that it was removed, was in a committed, consensual, deep love relationship and NOT the violently crocodile-hate driven, revenge bent, Neverland twisted demon of the seas. That was the main part of the HOOK.
Mumble mumble mumble. But Colin in angst is still wildly attractive. Rumple being lying, cheating, self-absorbed and self-serving, a totally natural state.
Henry….. DUH. Just DUHHHH. Belle, even DUHer.
The whole Regina/Henry/working in the shop/Operation Mongoose so they can change how the book was written, therefore plotting the potential demise of EVERYONE on the show as we know them? Just weird. Emma, running on the icy trail and not slipping all over the place? And even as a Fantasia lover,…The Walking Broom. I don’t know whether to snork or go awwwww. The mouse was clever, in a way, though. VHS proof from a surveillance camera in a house that Rumple didn’t know the location of before the broom trotted him there? ( moment of “how stupid” silence)
Shaking my head and still laughing, because, all in all, I continue to be entertained by the mess that is in Adam and Eddy’s storytelling brains.
Ack GAH. Just a holy mess of GAHH.
I’ll tune in next week, most certainly!!

With the easy anonymity of the Internet and the current acceptance and even applauding from imbeciles of hideous behavior with no personal accountability or grace, social media can be a foul breeding ground for people with no class and even less character. Twitter, in particular, thrives on wretched behavior. Some forums aren’t far behind.
It isn’t clever.
It isn’t an example of anything but ignorant spew.
It is a septic tank of morons .

Random responses…
I actually get a giant kick start in the Ohhh Baby libido with the Neverland Kiss (grin). The “You gave up your ship” kiss warmed a different chamber in my heart. The “I am a survivor” smooch evened the intimacy equality…and I am still waiting for the toe-curler I hope they have the guts to give us!
RGF, I can relate to the frustration. My son is a beautifully souled young man who is the light of my very independent feminist soul.
But the graceless ignorance of ugly souled posters has nothing to do with him, or the masses of men just like him. It has to do with their own rampant immaturity, and dense anger.
The male human can certainly p*ss of female humans quite easily and there is much more to be fought in any battles of the sexes towards equality of every kind.
But the incessant and increasingly ugly-child attacks of those females (who didn’t get their way regarding a fantasy TV character) ON other females (because of their preference of a different character) proves that they don’t like or respect other women much either. They USE men to attack other women’s free choices.
They prefer to wallow in self-absorbing whining. If their heart had a face it would be in a permanent sneer. Those who choose to continually prove that brand of classless behavior are only to be pitied.
Having spent most of the week fairly spoiler less due to life intervening (doncha hate when that happens?!) I am looking forward to being pleasantly entertained this Sunday as my love affair with ONCE continues!
Long live imagination…and pirate affection!
***Always in search of a good flock***
OK, all things and frustrating crap included, I still LOVE the Internet. (Especially creative wit)
The videos are super! Thank you 🙂
Emma looks beautiful , Hook looks smoldering-sexy, and the whole date treatment sounds like solid fun and highly entertaining.
Haters are humorless spooge and Adam should just tell them to all go chug bong water and take a long trip into the permanent la-la-land that exists in their delusionally entitled self-absorbed heads.
Captain Hand…Emma I adore your sass!

What a totally bright spot and smile inducing joy this thread and the happiness embracing participants are among the murky, self-indulgent, dead-character-obsessed doom-gloom and pathetically negative shallow sea of anti-Once-fandom much of this forum has become.
The fabulous gifs, the ultra creative videos, the positivity, the respectful discussion, the intelligent wit, the heart happy girlish squeees, the mutual support of OMG Here Comes More Tortured Angst Anxiety…quite the sanctuary!
Many thanks to all of you for coming here to share 🙂
And the love affair continues…

Random opinions of one woman:
*Rumple, despite Belle’s annoying bottomless pit of blind confidence in his “pure haaaht”, is a self-serving thug who has short-lived moments of showing sparks of residual humanity. Though, as with everyone, his misery stems from childhood pain and resulting whimpy, cowardly adulthood, he has turned out to be quite the solid (and beloved!) Creep. The Darkness and Power he sought out of his cowardice has a seemingly addictive hold on his soul. Oddly enough, though, I think it is that cowardice/childhood fear and pain, that keeps him from being pure Darkness. A fascinating dichotomy. And of course in the scheme of ONCE, I love him and hope he doesn’t change!
Hook is no match for Rumple’s treacherous nastiness or power, but he is far, far braver and equally as intelligent, cunning…and driven. Hook’s weakness is the intense control his smoldering passions and emotions have over his soul and brain(!) Hook is as hard-wired fearless as Rumple is hard-wired cowardly. It makes for a very interesting head to head combat between the two.
Rumple could destroy him in an instant but I think Hook’s soul-deep strength and bravery have earned him a grudging and oddly powerful respect with The Dark One.
*I hope Belle lives up to her supposed intelligence because up to now she is looking like a real Mrs Dimwit. If they fail they are both equally to blame.
* Robin Hood? Nah. IF it plays out as teased, the whole “failed true loves kiss” with Marian completely nullifies him as a character to be taken seriously. He may end up with Regina but this whole plot line is a total failure. There are other, far more interesting stories to keep me entertained, but Mr. ONCE version Hood just been turned into rotting Sherwood Forrest tree mold.
*Neal has nothing to do with Hook’s and Emma’s relationship and can’t realistically be compared to anything they experience as lovers/partners/Soul mates/friends. He was a tormenting source of Emma’s destructive life-pain and a very sad reminder of Hook’s tortured past. They both learned and grew from their life’s connections to him and layed him to rest, respectfully and with deep feelings. The fact that some can’t maturely come to grips with that on any thoughtful level is their ignorance to bear. Trying to understand “haters” is a waste of energy that could be spent following the hope and joy and expectations of what is actually happening. Haters don’t want to be understood. They just want to live a perpetual temper tantrum.
*This forum, yes, outside of a few threads has become a KillJoy’s stomping ground. But, we all know that no one existing outside of that mindset can change the stagnant negativity or habitual state of complaining and wallowing they prefer. Our choice is the same as theirs…find and support something that makes you feel upbeat/good and go forward with it, or saturate yourself in whiney drek.
*Sunday looks like grand escapism! And some especially sweet moments for our Captain and our Savior.

Twitter has a BLOCK function for a reason. Everyone should it.
Posters spew because they know people will not hold them accountable for their cowardly, immature behavior.
So BLOCK them, never acknowledge them. Eradicate the scummy attention they desperately seek. And this goes double for Adam and the writers and the actors. They should block and ignore the bottom feeders. It is a thimbleful of posters in the larger scheme of the fandom. BLOCK their skanky crap.

The little things DO mean a LOT.
This past episode (402) was choc-full of small moments that were gigantic indicators of the growth of Emma’s and Hook’s love affair. They were sneaky about guiding the previews in other directions and frankly I am glad they did! Seeing those small gestures and moments fresh and outside of the (for me anyway) irresistible spoilers plastered all over social media was a gigantic treat, and gift. It was no accident that several close-ups zoomed in on those moments.
We are nowhere near being in safe couple territory yet because, well, safe territory can often lead to boredom in TV drama. Though it usually lasts about two pages of dialogue, we are going to get road blocks of all kinds thrown in their way. With Rumple back in jerk-*ff mode and the introduction of a scrumptiously wicked Snow Queen, plus Will, I am sure there will be some serious threats floating around. We’ve only started to see the wacko adventures just waiting to be played before us with typically fast forward A&E speed (smile) There will be ANGST (grin)
But right now, there is pure bliss!!
Fortunately, in Captain Swan, we have two superb actors who can handle the big moments and tumultuous angst as well as the little, much more personal, intimate and ultimately much more honest things, like wordless, desperate no-walls-visible-dear-goddess-you-are-ok-I-was-desperately-afraid -I-had-lost-you-bone crushing-embraces ~ and entwined fingers clutching for and instantly receiving comfort and security~ and a protective and loving arm draped around a shivering shoulder, his hand rubbing life sustaining warmth back into her body while he caressed her hair with his face. Oh Baby, that director knew the importance of those little things. And they were not lost on the more intuitive and sensitive portion of the audience. They were moments to cherish and relish.
surayya, in regard to your very appropriate negativity concerns…it is wonderful to have this thread to visit. It is an oasis of positivity, celebrations and good feelings in what I feel in many places, has deteriorated into a stagnant, sour grapes and boorish-downer, anti-Once forum. I thank all of you for bringing and keeping the joy here quite alive with visuals, links, thoughtful discussion, metas and unbridled squees in celebration of the entertainment that ONCE continues to offer. Including and not limited to the deliciousness of the story of our Captain and our Lady! You are all very cool kindred spirits!!
Not really a spoiler but we don’t have any *speculation* warning tags…
(On other couples fronts, and this is complete speculation on my part…it seems that they are setting up a season where Regina might play a less visable roll, so far. Perhaps the lovely Lana with her new marriage might be planning a blessed event of her own?? That would be a totally smile inducing event)
