I’m torn, RG, because the shipper in me does want Hook happy and sailing on the Jolly Roger into the sunset. (Yes, I actually admitted that). Then a part of me loves a great story and thinks having Hook channel Sydney Carton would be brilliant storytelling. It will be interesting to see where it goes.

I agree with everything you wrote. But, I hope the writers don’t do a cliché love triangle, because that would put Hook right back a square one. Hook already away the most important woman in Bae’s life, his mom. He doesn’t need to repeat that same mistake by trying to compete for Bae’s love, Emma. The best thing that Hook could do to give Bae back his family is to honorably step aside, IMO, and to find love with another woman (one who isn’t linked to Neal). However, I fear that Killian’s personal growth could come at a personal sacrifice, especially if he DOES love Emma. It could be like in A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens in which Sydney Carton, an English barrister endeavors to redeem his mis-spent life out of his unrequited love for the wife of Charles Darnay, a French nobleman. Sydney, who bears a striking resemblance to Charles, takes his place as a prisoner of the French Revolution, allowing Charles to escape with his wife, Lucie, who happens to have golden hair, like Emma does. Like Sydney, Killian might see his sacrifice for Neal as being a way toward redeeming himself for having helped destroyed Bae’s family the first time around.
Yes, yes, yes. I’ve been saying for months that Hook could end up being a Sydney Carton character, much like Severus Snape was in Harry Potter. If I were writing the show, that’s what I would do. In the original, Hook doesn’t survive his final encounter against Peter Pan, although I know they changed it in the Disney version. I could imagine them keeping that aspect but change it to him sacrificing himself for a noble cause…saving the others so they can return home safely with Henry. When all is said and done, Henry still is his true love’s grandson, no matter how the shipping aspect turns out. He might see it as a way to do for Milah’s grandson what he never did for Milah’s son. I also think this might be a possibility because I just can’t see what Hook’s future in Storybrooke is. I can’t see him wanting to settle down in a house and take a traditional job. What will his future be? His sacrifice would be heroic.
On a happier note, I thought everyone could do with a reminder of this: SwanFire/Lion King parallel

*claps excitedly* I want to see Neal do magic! I want to see Henry do magic! They’re all so magical. 😛
Bobby better watch out. MRJ may be stealing some of his fangirls if he keeps up the great work and interviews. Of course, I can fangirl them both. Those men in the Rumplestiltskin clan are fabulous.

Of course, I won’t believe anything until Josh and Ginny officially announce a pregnancy.
But that won’t stop everyone from being on “bump watch” from now on. 😉

Okay, I may as well get on the bandwagon with the pregnancy fuel. She’s been a well known proponent of Weight Watchers and a vegetarian. She’s talked about always being mindful of her weight because of her childhood and if she’s suddenly blasé about a gain of weight then she’s pregnant. 😛

I posted on tumblr about SwanFire and MRJ and I lost a follower. Funny thing is it wasn’t the prolific CS poster who follows me. I guess I had a closet anti-SwanFire fan in my midst.

Things I liked:
Our chess theory is playing out nicely, RG. 🙂 She’s setting Alice up, along with Jafar, for some game.
The rabbit was well done.
Alice’s shoes with the hidden compartment. I need a pair of those.
The KnaveThinks I disliked:
Some of the CGI was cringe worthy.
Too much CGI. I get why they have to use it, but one great thing about Once is Storybrooke and the forest breaks up all the CGI stuff.Keeper of Rumplestiltskin's and Neal's spears and war paint and crystal ball.
Maybe it’s like the vortex. That’s what I think. The hole needs to close back up after they go through it because otherwise it would be an open doorway between worlds. So the rabbit’s magic that opened the hole also closes it back up after they’re through the portal.

I have no idea, either, RG. I also think they need to emphasize to non-crazed people that London is not real London. It made it seem like the Knave time traveled out of Storybrooke into Victorian England and then into Wonderland.
