I’m pretty sure I’m an idiot. Somehow I never realized that NYC Serenade was a song. Doesn’t make much sense, but, V1 has some people in a car going to steal some stuff. Good enough for me!
Nate Ruess is with P!nk on that track. Do we just want upbeat songs for our dance party? I can’t think of anything too dance-y, but all parties can use some Journey…

Not sense. Insanity. Complete insanity. But it’s mine, and I own it.
I think I’ve deconstructed the tent and now wear it as a blanket while I wander in circles around the foyer, trying to figure out where I belong at any particular moment. When does the train leave the station again? Don’t want to miss it.

We’re trying to blind her, Onyx :p
I need you to prep a room for me in Sad Town too, okay? Something with a broken poster bed would be awesome. If all goes as planned, I’ll be joining you guys around 10 on Sunday night. (Unless, you know, A&E can rile up those bison and get them to direct us over to the ranch. I’ll sleep on the floor if I get to live in the ranch.)

Hugs back, RG. I totally get you, I have no blame for you assuming the worst!! It’s a logical and reasonable conclusion. I just… my gut says A&E have something going on with this finale, and I choose to believe it’s not a reverse of the storytelling they’ve done recently. They’ve gone some crappy storytelling recently, but there are a few things they’ve stayed consistent on… this is one of them.
Above all, I need to remind myself – if we are getting MO322, we will not hear a WHISPER of it before the show airs. If the weird retweet is a shout-out to it (which I understand is a giant if,) then I will be surprised we even got that much. But then if it’s a shout-out to Snowing – which I lean towards – why not say that? (FWIW, I sent it to roomie and she felt it boded well for SF. She is very very familiar with the lobster thing.) Anyways, the entire point of MO322 is that A&E want to, JUST ONCE, actually surprise their fanbase-that-knows-all.
(And actually? We know that, now. I’ve been stating it for a while, but last week’s Ginny interview confirmed they have a surprise up their sleeve. So clearly I am in the right line of thinking that they are trying to hold some things closer to the vest.)
Adam was responding to some fans earlier today about an article that was put up, with very clear disdain. The article was with regards to SQ and how SQers would hate the ep because it was all CS, but regardless – his attitude towards the article episode “recap” was very, “Wow, that’s not at all what happens.” Promos are designed to be misleading, BTS and promo pics are strategically released. I know they often tell parts of the story. But just as often, they don’t – like when we get the green-screen pics with Young Cora/Leo/Eva and pieced it all together wrong. There are often large chunks of episode missing; the end of 3×20 with the proposal, Rumple doing whatever he did to Z, and the magic re-activating the portal were all unspoiled, right? Definitely, as GA, roomies were all, “WHAT?!?!” One was just shocked, the other was dismayed because she thought we were finally DONE with this arc, lol.
“Why don’t you try cursing someone who I’d actually want to kiss” said with disdain – after a full season of trying to let the guy down gently – does not turn into TLK in one two-hour “movie.” They’ve had twenty episodes to show Emma starting to soften towards him, and she’s only gotten MORE annoyed, to the point where she’s finally putting her foot down (in 19 & 20.) It’s not being lit in a manner of someone who “doth protest too much,” but rather someone who has grown impatient with being subtle – especially when the guy not taking the hint is now starting to endanger her family based on his delusions. My money is on her being hacked off at him about the portal situation, but opting to make the best of it because he’s all she’s got to work with.
I can’t promise they won’t head towards CS in 322, or ever, but I’m confident we’re not getting a CS TLK. Really, no one should put stock in my confidence – I don’t want to be responsible for raising false hope – but I guess I’m choosing to emotionally detach while maintaining logical hope. We’ll see maybe 4 minutes out of 80+ and there is a ton that can happen in the other 75 minutes. I expect twists and turns that are far from what have been implied.
Anyways, I don’t know what I’m rambling about anymore. I just… there’s a reason I’ve always said I’ll stay until 322. This story’s not done yet, and my motto when it comes to the SF story is “it’s not over.” Might I be wrong, yup, absolutely but at this point I’ll have egg on my face either way, so I might as well stick with it. I say we get a Hook-for-Neal (Bae) literal or metaphorical death switch and a SF TLK by the end of 322. In for a penny in for a pound, hey?

Perhaps, RG. But I’ve maintained position this long, and I guess I might as well hang on for the last few days.
*sigh* This morning was going so well :p

What? The episode stills are exactly as we should have expected. 1) Party that we knew about from the Canadian promo 2) Hook and Emma wandering around FL exactly as we knew would happen from promo. 3) Ball we knew about from the promo. I still maintain they will continue their track record of implying CS stuff (a la the 3×17 promo) and not having it play out on screen.
Whether we “win” or not, I don’t know, but something tells me A&E have some whopper surprises in store for this finale.
Remember, if Nealfire were to return, after ALL OF THIS they’ve gone to in order to keep it under wraps, they *sure* would not let it slip in promo stills. IF it happens, we’re all gonna be gobsmacked by it at the same time. All of the viewers and, potentially, the cast.

DSB said –
If this show spent 9 episodes showing us that Emma has NO interest in
Hook, only to do a 180 in the last two episodes,Jaxer said –
Never say never. She went from tearfully confessing “I never stopped loving him” to kissing Hook an episode later. The writers have done a number on her character this year. Who’s to say they wouldn’t drag her through the mud for added kicks?
Sorry, but a kiss for escapism or because she was “feeling good” or whatever is not the same as a TLK… and she hadn’t made it clear the previous episode that she wanted no part of kissing Hook.
MIGHT they do it? Sure, but you I’ve been maintaining all along they were not going to go full-on CS and despite the fact that it “should” have happened episodes ago, it hasn’t. I’m gonna hang onto that through the finale; they will continue to imply but not deliver.

Since I am stalking Adam’s twitter today, thought I’d pull this gem out –

@AdamHorowitzLA was it your idea to write Henry’s comment in 3×19 about the Yankees being “awesome”? 🙂

@Ziver92x oh yeaSo Adam had his fingers in Henry’s list of things that were awesome about NYC? The one that included pizza? Mmk.
(I figured the Yankees was not accidental, knowing how Adam loves them.)

I dunno, if they are lobsters maybe the “splashy” wedding is not so insane after all 😉

The tricks here are to alter some things but not others. They are messing with Snow Falls, but it needs to be put back right “enough” that we have Emma, the curse and events thru Tallahassee, or else Henry does not exist. So they can’t just be like, “Oh yeah, Bae’s in Neverland, go grab him would ya?” because although that would eliminate the need for the curse, and allow Emma to grow up with her parents, there would be no Henry. So then will they have to talk Rumple into following the same course of action, despite Emma knowing the hurt it causes her, so she has her son?
I agree that killing Z in the past – by the way, this is the complete and utter definition of balefire, my friends – is the best course of action. BUT then, does it leave Rumple still down in the vault? We know Rumple cannot be the one permanently killed; he was exempt from the spoiler. By the way, the spoiler said “ended,” not killed, so some sort of time warp accident could fit that. For example, what if the way Emma goes home (slippers?) can only take one, so Hook gets trapped in the past? Two Hooks in past = bad things and no more Hook. Emma is ok, because she didn’t exist at the time of SF. Not sure, but killing Z in the past would be right up Rumple’s alley, if he felt she would later lead to the death of Bae – and then her slippers would be available to Emma. How Wizard of Oz of them.
