Once Upon A Horrendous Confusion is my vote. You could always use a disclaimer that your chosen title is a “Working Title” which implies that it subject to change as the plot thickens and the story becomes more convoluted.
[adrotate group="5"]It didn’t appear to me that Henry left because he was upset. Looked to me like he left the scene to give Emma the camera shot. And her first reaction wasn’t where’s Henry. It was where’s Hook.
I think if Henry was upset they would have shown us that more clearly before concluding the season.What I loved most about tonight’s finale was that for the most part, angst, personal drama and melodramatics were left in Storybrooke.
I loved a full 2 hours of adventure, fantasy and magic.
Humor and snark came back.
Bandit Snow was back. And serious props to costuming and body doubles because for the most part, I forgot Ginny was very far along in her pregnancy when they filmed these scenes. And Charming became charming again.
Even though many of them had no lines, I loved seeing Red, Pinocchio, Blue, Aurora, Hopper.
Splashy wedding tear jerker.
Hook, Emma, drunk Hook was an odd but fun twist, and Smee was funnyI really liked almost every scene tonight..until we returned to Storybrooke. Here comes the drama again.
I was actually momentarily happy for Robin and Roland. But, poor Regina. Heartbroken Regina.Just poppin in to say, I’m keeping my hopes up that a miracle happens tonight..
Not that I dislike Hook/ Emma, because I’m prepared to follow wherever the story leads, but because I fear you all are running out of cookies. I feel bad, because I’ve been poppin in occasionally when nobody’s lookin, and I might have pilfered a few oatmeal raisin cookies. And, whoever bakes those extra huge chocolate chunk cookies, I love you.
But really, I really am hoping for a game changing miracle and for someone to fix the past and bring back Baelfire.Watcher, I couldn’t agree more. In 3b, every scene with 3 or more people, Hook is standing there in the background. At first it was intriguing because we thought he was listening, devising a plan, or up to something sneaky. But, he wasn’t. He’s just there in the background, like a backup singer who never gets to sing. No longer intriguing, funny, or snarky. Yeah, I get the whole Emma thing, but is that all he’s got left to his charm and personality? Just Emma? Does he ever get to take the lead, or will he always be stuck in the background. He looks great in those leather pants, but it’s clear who’ll wear the pants in that family.
I’m glad he’ll
be more high profile tonight, but I’m truely hoping for some shenanigans from him, or that he’s got a bag of tricks somewhere. I know he will follow and protect Emma, but come on, he’s been a pirate most if his life. Surely he’s got some tricks up his sleeve somewhere. I miss the Hook we came to know and love when he was first introduced. You can be a good guy, but you don’t have to loose your mojo in the process.So here’s my worst case scenario for season 4. I’ve already seen what appears to be 2 Hooks. Good Hook punching Bad Hook. And to me, that’s a bad omen. If hook of the present can come face to face with hook of the past, then there’s no reason that can’t happen with another character.
So, assuming Hook and Emma find a way to return to Storybrooke before the night is over, then it’s possible that EF Rumplestiltzkin could follow them. If anything like this happens, then, ugh!
Rumplestiltzkin, season 4 big bad. Rumple vs GoldIt would be kinda cool if Emma found Robin and asked him to steal David’s jewels so Emma can give them to Snow. Robin steals the Crown Jewels from David, and gives them to Emma. Emma gives them to Snow. Hook sends word to David, via carrier pigeon, that Snow has stolen his jewels. David searches and finds Bandit Snow and the rest is Charming history, and they live relatively happily ever after.
Mostly, I’m stuck on Hook punching Hook. I think bad Hook sees Emma and tries to get… Um… Frisky with her. Then redeemed Hook punches him for being such a douche to Emma (but mostly he’s embarrassed at what a jerk he used to be to women). Emma says something really snarky to good Hook about Bad Hook, but they move on, as in the past is in the past, I’m not that guy anymore. Symbolizing Hook no longer wanting to be viewed as a womanizer. He’s a one woman man now.
I used to be conflicted about Hook. But I can see this finale making a statement about the past is in the past, grow, and move foreward. I have accepted that Emma and Hook have a future together.I’m assuming that it’s been pretty obvious how Hook/Emma might change the past, it just took me a while to figure it out.
They are walking along the road, and see a fallen tree and a carriage approaching. They help the driver move the fallen tree, so there’s no need for David to leave the carriage, and no opportunity for Snow to steal his jewelry. David waves thank you as he and Abigail continue their journey. Snow jumps from her tree after the carriage passes and says something snarky to the duo who has just foiled her jewel heist.
Emma realizes that she has changed the past by interrupting what would have been her parents first meeting.1 1/2 hours of Emma meeting her Storybrooke friends in the EF, conspiring to get her parents to meet one another, then a mad 1/2 hour dash to find a portal back to present time. And possibly, the person who provides a way home, follows her and becomes the new big bad. And somewhere in that time, Emma makes a choice, to Hook up, or not to Hook up, or, stick with “it’s complicated”.
So, in a way, Emma is now almost like a seer. She gives Rumple clues and insight into things that will happen in the future. It might not include details, and it may be jumbled for Rumple. But he sees the future through Emma.
And I’m sure this has been explained elsewhere, but why has the portal brought them to this particular time instead of earlier in time as Zelena originally intended?
