#MoreBOOMLessGloomI read that the entire OUAT panel will be available on Hulu sometime tomorrow for anyone who can’t watch it today. I am SOOOO looking forward to this panel!
#MoreBOOMLessGloomI don’t think Emma will let people walk all over her. She’s had a rough life but she’s also a survivor and when she’s on her game, she doesn’t get pushed around by many people. She’s too strong to become a punching bag but I’m not gonna lie….I worry about this a little bit too. Hopefully they let her stand up for herself soon.
BTW-I still hate that Henry compared Emma to Regina in that one scene. I just rewatched it (ABC is rerunning OUAT on Saturday nights throughout March at least) and that broke my heart for her all over again. 😥
#MoreBOOMLessGloomI think I read that the entire panel is going to be available on Hulu sometime on Monday for anyone who misses the live stream tomorrow afternoon. 🙂
#MoreBOOMLessGloomI agree with you too. I’ve always felt the most sad for Emma because her life has never really been her own and when it was, she was all alone and left feeling unwanted in the ‘real’ world. 🙁
#MoreBOOMLessGloomI’m really looking forward to this event tomorrow afternoon!
If anyone also watches Revolution, that panel is going to be livestreamed this evening around 10 PM EST and it should be pretty cool too. I can’t believe how long that show has been off the air all ready! 🙁

If Hook needs someone to nurse him back to health…I know nothing about nursing, but am volunteering my services anyway. 😉 Someone needs to make a fanvid to that Tubthumping song with all the clips of Hook getting knocked down, and getting up again, (they’re never gonna keep him down). 😛
OMG, this totally has to happen!!!! That would be the most epic fanvid ever and I know I would end up posting it all over the place, LOL 😆

She seems to always be the victim of that particular circumstance, which is someone making a decision for the greater good and her having to serve the greater good, instead of anyone taking care of her or letting her take care of herself.
This is like the third or fourth time Jennifer has made a comment similar to this (within this year alone I think) and I’m so glad Jennifer keeps this in mind when playing Emma. Because, it’s not something that has really been explored on the show. And it should. Because, Jen is right – Emma is the continual victim of circumstance and that has gotta suck. And for a woman who already has low self-worth, this has probably got to add onto it. Because she’s got to be thinking to herself, it’s not about her. It’s never been about her.
I’m sure she has doubts where she thinks no one cares about Emma Swan, the person. It’s all about The Savior. Even her parents. Or her son. I know she knows that her parents sent her away for her. She realized this in the nursery. But, that doesn’t erase all of her doubts. Her parents sent her away because she was The Savior. Her son went looking for her because she was The Savior. Her boyfriend made decisions for her (and without her) because she was The Savior. August befriended her because she was The Savior. For all she knows, people are only nice to her because she is The Savior. But, what about Emma Swan, the woman?
And it seems like everyone important in her life makes decisions for her with that thought in mind – she’s The Savior. So, again, I’m really glad Jen sees this and thinks about it because she probably has that in mind when playing Emma certain ways. I just wish the show would explore more of those doubts Emma has.
THIS!!!!!!! I couldn’t have said it better myself and that is the one part of the interview that has stuck with me this entire day. I love reading Jen’s interviews because she’s always so insightful and thoughtful with her answers. This show is probably one of the best things that ever happened to her because it’s finally given her stories worthy of her talent (don’t get me started on how badly I feel like the folks at House treated her) and it’s a character she obviously loves playing and bringing to life. I could read Jen’s interviews all day!
And it’s so true about poor Emma. I still think it’s so sad that she’s the one who’s paid the greatest price for this curse and yet she’s the one who had the least to do with it. She spent her whole life feeling abandoned, never having a family, never really knowing love (Neal aside….we know she loved him but his leaving her threw that down the toilet), never knowing how it feels to be wanted, trying to find her way in a world that just isn’t fair when you’re alone, and probably spent most of her adult years wondering if her life would ever get better. Suddenly she’s got a kid in her life that she thought she had given up so he could have a better life, she finds her parents and they’re HER AGE, and she’s become this person who’s expected to save a whole enchanted forest of people and all she keeps being called is “the Savior”. Neal was probably the closest thing for her having someone in her life that truly loved and knew her just for being Emma but you’re right, he left her when he was told about her role as “the Savior” so her internal emotions probably feel a wreck all the time. I also wish they would explore that with her because for one, I think Jen would do an amazing job handling that type of story, and for two, maybe it could be a way for Emma to make the other FT characters stop just seeing her as “the Savior” and start seeing her as a person, Emma, who has her own feelings, hopes, dreams, painful memories, emotional baggage, and personal problems. That is a story that I would still LOVE to see this year. 😀
Boy I hope this rambling message makes sense. I’ve been sick all week so I have no clue how any of this sounds, LOL 😆
#MoreBOOMLessGloomEmma is so freaking badass and I swear she gets more awesome by the episode!
I LOVE this sneak peek so much. Is it Sunday yet?!? 😀
#MoreBOOMLessGloomRumple being a SwanFire shipper is awesome on so many levels!
I love how sweet he was with Emma who is obviously having just as bad of a time on this little jaunt to NYC as he’s having and their interaction is fantastic. He really does respect her and I can see them easily becoming better friends from all this drama. 😀
