I find the notion that magic-less Hook would go up against the magical Wicked Witch solo (without Regina or Emma’s magic as backup) to save his former nemesis, Rumple, really unbelievable. Hook may begrudgingly tolerate the Crocodile, but he’s not about to risk his own neck to save the dark one. That sounds like a theory that people who love his character put forward because they long for Hook to be a protagonist. Yet, just the other day, Adam tweeted that Hook is a flawed character. Just because he’s made strides towards redemption, it doesn’t mean he’s redeemed. He has yet to make any great sacrifice the way Rumple and Regina did in 3×11. Also, Regina relapsed into her Evil Queen ways in S2, and so might Hook relapse into his pirating ways in S3. Which is why I’m maintaining that Hook is secretly allied with Zelena. I agree with Phee, that in the end, Hook could regret this alliance and do the right thing though.
Agree Slurpeez….ditto RumplesGirl, Phee.
Hook is his worst enemy, but I bet when push comes to shove, we will see Hook break free from Zelena’s grip and help defeat her.
I am speculating that A & E is developing Hook’s character by mirroring his redemption ala Regina and Rumple.
Rumples redemption was the most poignant. When Rumple made that fatal decision to stab the old man/dark one, he was engulfed in a vortex of revenge and regrets….a portal….. for the dark one to enter another desperate soul to continue its evilness.
A surge of omnipotence consumed Rumple – it was seductive. This makes for a Greek tragedy…only…..it is American Fairytale Style.
….A GOOD MAN IS CORRUPTED BY POWER………
……LOVE IS THE ONLY ANTIDOTE….
Being LOVED is an important catalyst for redemption….BUT ….
….it is Rumple’s ACCEPTANCE of his true nature…..LOVE….that releases the dark ones grip, allowing Rumple to courageously sacrifice himself for the ones he loves – Baelfire and Belle.
[adrotate group="5"]Please don’t succumb to the temptation of believing spoilers that SPOIL your belief in happy endings = Swanfire.
That goes for those TWITS from twitter, who want to crush your hopes. Wavering between hope and doubt, we miss all the other great stories unfolding and appreciating the imagination of A & E writing team. Instead we allow ourselves to believe the second hand accounts from the TWITS and the SPOIL-ers.
Since Neal “boomed” into OUAT, I suspected A & E have always intended Neal and Emma to be destined for one another. As I said before, all great lovers have obstacles to overcome, and these obstacles deepens the love between Neal and Emma.
There are gaps to Neal and Emma’s epic love story. Hang on tight, it’s going to be a roller coaster ride until they are re united.
I want to talk about Hook. Since his intro in season 2, Hook is depicted as a villain, who ingratiated himself to Regina, Cora and Charming. A one dimensional character with one desire, to fulfill one obsession…avenge Milahs death.
I can understand Hook’s role as a potential love interest for Emma.
Hook is an enigma. That is a powerful magnet for a segment of the OUAT audience. Roguish, exotic, with swagger thrown in.
Scoundrels and strong women mix….. not! Hook couldn’t charm his way with Regina, Cora, Belle, Ruby, and Emma. They saw beyond his façade. There is no romantic chemistry between Hook and Emma. There is only friendly bantering to “hook” that segment of the audience into presuming a romantic possibility.
But I’ve noticed lately that A & E have introduced nuances to Hook’s character development. This is good. I like Hook. I would like to think that A & E is envisioning a soul mate for Hook too. Tink perhaps. But that’s another spoiler, another post.
Since it was announced that Meghan Ory was returning to film an episode, something told me that it will Ruby Red who will be killed, possibly saving her best bud….Snow White:(
Somewhere over the rainbow……is SWANFIRE & Co.
………..and Snow White’s bluebird 🙂
Skipped reading the morning paper and read the most recent posts to start my day.
Have a great day everyone!
Lisa, how brilliant!
RumplesGirl you rock! Thank You for finding this lovely picture. I am also amazed at Scmacky’s artistic eye. The participants from ALL the forums are so creative and talented.
BTW, every time I see those cool pictures of MRJ, a song pops into my mind..
“I want Candy…..” by Bow Wow Wow.
…I know a guy who’s tough but sweet
…He’s so fine he can’t be beat
…He’s got everything that I desire
…Sets the summer’s sun on fire
…I want Candy….I want Candy
…Go to sea when the sun go down
…Ain’t no finer boy in town
…You’re my guy who walked up to order
…So sweet you make my mouth water
…I want Candy….I want Candy
…Candy on the beach there’s nothing better
…But I like Candy when it’s wrapped in a sweater
…Some day soon I’ll make you mine
…And I’ll have candy all the time
…I want Candy….I want Candy
Check it out on You Tube.Thanks again, RG :o)
Hi Everyone,…..I made a blunder in my previous post. I tried to upload a photo of 2 swans, in a serene lake setting, they face each other, forming a heart. The background to this lovely scene is at dusk, ablaze in shades of orange/red, surrounding the swans in a exquisite mist!
The heart of the truest believer…..believes in S W A N F I R E.
Swanfire community….do you have the heart of the truest believer?
Have an awesome day :o)
This ring is……….PRICELESS!
May I make a request……can someone create Neal & Emma exchanging wedding vows with Hook officiating, on board the Jolly Roger! I know this is all in fun…….:o)
As I get ready to go to work, I am reflecting on the difference between:
adult grown-up love = Swanfire….Snowing….Rumbelle….they represent a depth of love that is unwavering, steadfast, reliable and sacrifice (Neal let go of Emma’s hand in the portal so that their child, at least has one of them)
selfish love = ? ……… fickle, sneaky, unreliable, faithless, all talk but no sacrifice
Many years ago, I used to looked at love from a child like viewpoint, there were no hardships in that romantic bubble, only la la images and romantic poses.
Swanfire is more deep, more intense in their interactions. The ground shakes when these two share space together, when they look into each other’s eyes :o)
Remember, all great love stories have lovers that are separated by circumstances beyond their control. That is what makes their journey all the more exciting and more rewarding when re-united!
And they lived happily ever after!
Hi Everyone….I enjoy reading spoilers and what ifs in the lives and circumstances of the citizens of FTL. For me it is a balm to the everyday realities of life. There is an incredible pool of creativity among our Swanfire family, an arena of adventure, magic, romance, excitement! The sincere fascination for Rumple, Snow, Charming, Regina, Emma, Nealfire etc etc, is quite poignant 🙂 We enter into a land of unknown possibilities everytime a portal appears, a ship sails into harbour, a yellow beetle breezes into town.
When we become bewitched by theories that cause us pain, we forfeit that magic that captivated us since OUAT debuted 3 years ago. When we become despondent over news about Neal’s demise or a doubtful “ship” that is noisy with proofs!
A frame of a scene does not a story tell!
A & E and their writing team have written the scripts months in advance before filming begins. Let’s become enchanted again, by the journey our FTL citizens, one episode at a time. No need to fear for Swanfire, they were meant for one another. They were not supposed to meet and fall in love. BUT they did meet, they fell in love. As stated earlier, the man who was the cause of the curse and the woman who would break it became the catalysts for A&E epic tale.
How about this for a spoiler……Hook officiates, on the Jolly Roger, Neal and Emma’s wedding!!!!!!!!
“Tale as old as time….” from Disney’s Beauty & the Beast. Yes, some will view this movie and the song as sappy and annoying. The words though speak truth to human nature. At the heart of this fairy tale and in fact, OUAT, is this, there is Beauty and The Beast in everyone of the characters.Regina’s Beast is her blind revenge, her Beauty is her genuine love for her adopted son Henry. Snow’s Beast is when she questions the good choices she has made throughout her life (The Queen is Dead). Her Beauty is her unwavering belief in the goodness of people. Every OUAT character have elements of B&TB inside them. This makes for tension, intrigue, romance and redemption! BTW, I don’t give the tabloids, entertainment news the power to make me anxious about Swanfire. It’s a given…these two belong together. It’s a bumpy love story. As an intelligent female, I can understand A & E’s vision for OUAT – true love, adventure, magic, and family always rules!
