    Meh, I am just into chapter 3 of an epic post-315 FrankenWizard resurrection and ensuing Conversations That Need(ed) To Happen. Text can do it… if Slurp abdicates rights 😉

    Slurp’s theory wins the day.

    Yep, I feel ya, Onyx. To be fair, the interviews have all expressed Hook’s POV. (My autocorrect wanted that to be poverty, lol.) I have been accurate thus far in that Emma does not reciprocate, so I am gonna go ahead and leave room for that possibility in 322. That may or may not be so that I can make it through the next three days with a lesser amount of rage 😉

    Almost there guys. Couple more days and for worse or for better worser we will have made it through the disaster that was 3B. (I think we deserve t-shirts. “I survived 3B and all it got me was this ugly map!”)

    No. I am quite negative about the possibility of MO322 but I am finding that I still cannot quite wrap my brain around the show fully acquising to CS. My hope that perhaps there is a chance they will make it a clear illustration of what love is NOT is slowly returning. Insanity… I know.

    Actually? Slurp might be onto something. If Snow & Charming name the babe first – maybe Charles after Charming, I dunno – then Emma calling Hook Charles would be essentially calling him her brother, ie, not romantic.

    Darn optimism! I need to drop it like a bad habit :p

    Thanks, Text. If I could have moved, I would have taken you up on it… going north anyways. Instead I just had an hour of in the car, nothing on the radio, not moving, sitting behind truck #5815 with Boston licence plates. It was awesome :/

    I did, however, find a nifty song for EXACTLY how I am feeling right now, as I prepare to break up with this show…

    All I have to say is
    You don’t deserve me, you don’t deserve me
    I’m finally walking away
    Cause you don’t deserve me, and you’re not worthy

    And I won’t let you pull me in
    ‘Cause I know you’re gonna win
    (The war is over) but the war is over (The war is over)
    And I won’t fight you anymore
    I’ve never been so sure
    (The war is over) cause the war is over

    I used to let you paint a pretty picture
    You got me caught up with your really well laid out story (snip)
    ^I may have modified that line 😉

    All I have to say is you don’t deserve me, you don’t deserve me
    I’m finally walking away, cause you only hurt me
    And you’re not worthy

    And I won’t let you pull me in
    ‘Cause I know you’re gonna win
    (The war is over) but the war is over (The war is over)
    And I won’t fight you anymore
    I’ve never been so sure
    (The war is over)

    This is not my surrender
    I’m not running for cover
    I’m right here, I know you see me
    But your words no longer defeat me
    In the night when you’re lonely
    You remember how much you miss me
    So you call, but I swear
    You can try a million times you’ll get the same answer…

    Realizing mostly, I just feel betrayed by the story. How absurd is that, to feel betrayed by a *story*?! I’m not even mad at A&E, you gotta do what you gotta do to keep your job – whatever. But dang… it’s like somebody took my beautiful SF story and stuck the dust jacket on the wrong book.

    Mostly what astonishes me is how a show can go from being so engrossing that I had to fight shipping it with everything I had, I purchased the series and required my roommates to binge watch it with me – and eventually gave into my firmly entrenched no-shipping policy – to “I can never watch this show again” in less that a dozen episodes. Ugh.

    I have determined that, when you are trying not to think about things that make you sad, the only thing worse that a long drive by yourself is sitting at a full stop on the highway.

    Tears have started… need them to stop.

    All I can think is,

    I don’t care
    For your fairytales…

    Cause this story needs some mending…
    And a better happy ending…

    The flaily thing Emma did, in Manhattan, before following Neal to the bar… that is me right now. I am beginning to think these interviews are all just made up bull honkey to screw with the fans because really… half of what is being said is not even true.

    And that promo poster? Not enough rage in the world.

    Phee & Slurp have excellent points. 1) Neal is not Bae, 2) A&E have proven themselves, several times recently, to concretely be liars. So is there still this tiny shimmer of hope? Sure, it exists until credits roll on 322… particularly as there would be investment (especially this close in) to keeping shock for the finale.

    That said, I am just out if energy to fight an increasingly uphill battle. In some ways, I think I’m ready to roll over out of a WANT to go into the finale with no hope. It makes me think of Rumple in Pilot -“I’m right where I want to be.” You don’t have hope, you can’t be disappointed. So bring it on, the triumph of the lying, manipulative pirate, as he gets the girl, wins the love of the love-of-his-life’s son’s true love after wearing her down with his charms. But no trickery, right? We can’t have that. So let’s dance on the grave of the character who drove the WHOLE show – and start celebrating the phenomenal morals of lying and cheating to guarantee yourself a happy ending as we reinforce the message that being a self-sacrificing guy who respects women gets you nothing but dead.

    It’s a disbelief in ^ that scenario that gave me hope. But I guess it’s time to start believing.

    FWIW, I’ll hardly be on between now and Sunday due to pre-planned real life stuff… I have not abandoned this ship, I love you all to pieces and I’ll be back Sunday for the cry & rage fest. Keep your chins up, y’all – we always knew this part would be the hardest.)

    ((((HUGS))))
