Yes but…just…WHY?

It still doesn’t make sense. Graham’s death hurt, but at least it made sense. Pan’s death was the only way to stop him. Cora, too. But Neal’s death was just so not the only way to handle ANYTHING we’ve seen.

I’m hoping they’ll feel a little more free to explain why after the finale. Because I just want it to make sense. That’s all.

They’re bringing Moe back. That…makes me think there WILL be a bit of other character development at least. I don’t think they’d bring him back for just a few seconds or a background scene, would they?

But I do think we’ll see more of the other characters in the past world than in the present :/

A&E are such trolls. And dangit, I still love them.

So um um um I’m hoping again…they said the finale was wish fulfillment. And I know what I’m wishing.

So um. As for True Love, all the canonical true loves (TLK has had an effect) on this show have an interesting feature: The male in the pairing has ACTUALLY sacrificed his life for the other.

Philora: Phillip went to the wraith believing it was death for him. We still don’t know how Mulan and Aurora rescued him, but he did sacrifice his life for Aurora.

Snowing: David’s been willing countless times, but Snow actually crushed his heart and killed him before they divided up her heart to share.

Rumbelle: It was for Bae, too, and had the side effect of saving everyone else, but Rumple totally died for Belle. Actually died for her, until Neal brought him back.

Emma & Henry: Henry ate the apple pastry knowing it would be cursed. I think he believed that Emma could save him when he did it, but it was still a sacrifice to get her to believe.

The only case that isn’t so clear cut is Regina & Henry, but one could argue that he believed when he gave up his heart that he was saving magic in part for her.

There are some cases where the woman has definitely shown willing to give up her life or sacrifice a lot for her true love, too–Snowing, for example, when Snow bites the apple. But this is quite a long list of men who have actually died for their true loves only to come back again.

Help me, I’m hoping….

The mobile could be a gift from her to her baby brother. Hung over his crib. Rumple and Belle could bring it to them cuz THEY’RE FAMILY.

Oooh sneaky. They did that with the Lacey/Belle dream sequence jewelry too.

So what does THAT mean?

Also, I’m scared…I’m getting hopeful again…like hopeful enough I almost believe Neal really will come back…that’s dangerous.

I know, the compass analysis is AMAZING.

I want to look more closely at Emma’s flower tattoo, the decor in her nursery (including on the unicorn mobile!), and the dreamcatchers…

It might be a reach but I’m seeing motifs that tie together there. Look at the dream sequence of David’s in 314.

Not only are four out of the 7 CS moments, which is a serious imbalance, they skipped right over ACTUAL romantic moments like, oh, say, being PROPOSED TO, or Neal and Emma laughing over their crazy exfiances, or the parallel moments to Hook’s declaration that he’d win her heart with Neal (which, yes, I admit I found far sweeter, cuz look what thread I’m in).

This isn’t the show of course, but whoever is in charge of this promo stuff is so so SO biased.

Yes, Narrativium. (Totally. See the Discworld MUD for how obsessed I’ve been over the last decade.)

I think that the pendant has to be destroyed to really kill her. Now, what form she’s actually IN at the moment, I’m not so sure about.
