Bae at least seems level headed enough to stop at some point – Emma is going to destroy him when she finds out!
What about when the rest of the town finds out? I could so see Ruby turning his wooden butt into a chew-toy!!!!!!!
[adrotate group="5"]So when Neal comes to Storybrooke and realises just how much he’s been played, no one will mind when Bae sets the puppet’s wooden butt on fire?
Do you guys realize just how impossible it was for me not to scream while watching this epp? My roomates already think i’m crazy so i had to use breathing exercises to stop the feels from escaping.
1) Neal’s dreamcatcher
2) Neal’s closing his eyes (so much hurt) when he realized the curse was for reals and he would have to let Emma go because —> pure speculation from now on, bear with me!
> his dad had done something awful (I take it that August showed him the picture of the Dark One’s dagger)
3) He loves her. She loves him.
4) He doesn’t know about Henry. If he turns out to be Bae, then poor guy is likely to have a heart attack when he gets to SB?1) I wonder if his bad dreams had something to do with Henry and Aurura’s or if it was a product of his dad abandoning him. I’m thinking it’s the latter. The other two were both under a sleeping curse with is the only connection i see but Bae had a lot of nightmare fuel in his life (i mean really, has anyone else seen his letter from untold stories? i rest my case)
2) Even if Augest didn’t know he was Bae, I think he would have to included that Rumple was the one to design the curse. I think that’s the only way Bae would have let her go. I mean no matter how much he believed in magic, it would take a lot for a guy to betray the girl he loves like that and get her sent to prison. If he knew that it all started with Rumple he would know what it was all about and he would do the brave and responsible thing and sacrifice his happiness to clean up his fathers mess.
3) Which makes it all the more tragic.
4) I could see him figuring it out pretty soon after he got there and not saying anything until Emma got back. I could see him getting into one helluva fight with August, because obviously Augeust knew more then he let on. I kind of have this mental picture of Neal confronting Emma and going “alright emma, if you don’t want me to say anything, i won’t” all dejected like because he knows that he’s the one that screwed up, even if it were for good intentions. And Emma almost breaking because of how hurt he is.P.S. Lil’Red, i stole your GIF.
I’m going out on a limb and guessing right now that this is the way to communicate between FTL and SB
That might be true. A summary for a future epp says that Rumple and Regina will have to put David's life in danger to contact FTL
If that’s true maybe they slip him some of the leftover turnover (that one apple really seems to get around
I loved the Neal/Emma relationship but i really hated how douchie Augest turned out to be and how easily Neal with along with him.
If it was the drawing it would have to have been a pretty big coincidence that August had the one thing to make Neal (Bae) believe.
What ever it was I wonder if it had anything to do with the final preparations the fairies were making before the curse stuck.
Unfortunately TV is the ultimate form of escapism–we love to put ourselves in the shoes of our favorite characters–and no one want to imagine themselves as ugly. *sigh*
Don’t get me wrong, I may find one or more of these people attractive, but they absolutely aren’t blow-you-out-of-the-water hot… And not conventionally ‘hot’, especially compared to MRJ..
True. I guess my mind kind of fogged on that one and i think there was an unspoken “under fifty (looking)” in my head, which excludes all but two or three of them.
But there is no denying that Hollywood heavily leans towards looks over talent (If it where otherwise do you think Alex Pettyfer would ever have gotten a job?).
Unfortunately it would seem that TV is allergic to normal looking people. Hell, the only not blow-you-out-of-the-water-hot person on the show is MRJ and that’s what makes him so attractive to me.
For the most part, unless you are pretty, skinny, and straight, TV doesn’t want you unless that’s what the storyline is centered around. Take Drop Dead Diva. A show about a beautiful, successful, and BIG girl who spends almost ever episode dealing with her self esteem and the challenges of being plus size.
It’s impossible for Hollywood to have those kind of things be merely a single facet of a person unless it’s the most important facet. So much for art imitating reality, huh?
The only example i can recall off the top of my head to counter this is Diana from White Collar. It mentions the fact that she’s a lesbian a handful of times in the series and is never really important to the storyline. I think the biggest deal they make of it is when she has to hit on a guy to keep undercover and someone mentions that it’s not really her cup of tea, or something along those lines.
Looking at this topic from a feminist perspective, i have to say OUAT is one of the most “Feminist friendly” (for want of a better term) shows I have seen. Feminism isn’t about elevating one gender above the other or finding offense anytime a woman is portrayed in a less than perfect light; it’s about men and women being on EQUAL footing. Yes, family, parenthood and lover (typically thought of as “feminine” virtues) but it’s not only the girls that show this devotion. For every strong woman who is big on being a mother (Snow) there is a male who is just as devoted (Who could ever forget Jefferson?). For every flawed, evil woman who is beginning to see the light (Regina) there is a man who is in the same position (Rumple–okay, maybe he’s not quite on that road yet, but it does appear that’s where he’s headed, and to his defense he has been “addicted” to magic a LOT longer than Regina).
First off, the show does a lot of slut shamming. They often paint sexually active women that are not married in a negative light. The only two example that comes to mind right now are Emma who had a child out of wedlock was a thief and to look at it from another angle, Ruby use to be very out there with her outfit and her attitude but since she has become more important in the second season they have covered her up… A LOT
I don’t really think this is the case. The Ruby/Red thing sees to have more to do with a kind of identity crisis then anything. Ruby didn’t really know herself so she fell back on one of the only things she did know: that she was attractive to men. Once she got Red back, she had her identity and no longer needed rely on the safety net of her look.
Another thing to consider is that we don’t know how much of a hand Regina had in choosing their storybrooke personas. Think about it; when the curse hit, Snow turned into the kind of meek and docile creature Regina thought fitting for her–despite the fact that the persona didn’t really fit Snow at all. Who’s to say that the same didn’t happen to Red?
As for them “Shamming” Emma by turning her into a thief, i’m not going to comment on that until later tonight when i have more of the story.
Along this topic, though, there was one thing that did kind of erk me. I was always bothered by how much the whole town turned on MM after her affair with David came to light, but no one really seemed to say anything to him. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, perhaps it only seemed that way. I’ll have to watch the epp again to be sure, but the best sign that everyone was against her seemed to be the slut-mobile, another construction of Regina’s.
