Actually, I will not watch. No need to. Thanks, everyone, for letting me know that other people cared about this ship. So sad to lose this show.
I’m with you since the summer of 2013 when I smelt the stench of love triangle I knew I was going to hate it. I loathe the love triangle trope with a passion and I really loathe this one.
LOLZ. Yes! The stench! My husband and I watch together. (He’s one of those who talks to the television.) Everytime there’s a “CS” scene (and I say that lightly because again – other than their being pretty together – I personally don’t see this ship), he says “OMGGG! Get this over already!”
Hubs and I both assumed (up until the SoD) that this was just another plot contrivance to keep SF apart. They can’t come together (definitively) until the last few episodes of the entire series, so this was just another distraction for Emma (albeit a zillion times more annoying than those extremely “rare” portals that you can’t take 2 steps without falling into). After seeing what’s going on online, I feel like the rug has been ripped out from under me.
The more I watch of their stuff the more I am mystified by it. Hook has his moments, but I am noticing more and more that when it comes to Emma, Hook oscillates between skeevy and pathetic. He needs to find himself a new-Milah…
I think he thinks Emma is a new Milah, right? I was really turned off in ep. 312 (?) when he answered Emma’s question on why he came back with “For you Emma.” He didn’t say “for you and Henry”. Let’s not forget he’s into the hott moms but not into their kids. Kids cramp the adventurous lifestyle. And God forbid the mom should up and die and leave him feeling “responsible”…
Some might be genuinely sad for those of us who like Neal, even if they don’t like him–but for me, and possibly for Phee and some others, we like Hook! We like him in a different way than others, and have a different read on his character, and I had different hopes for how they’d write him. So I don’t see total happy dances in my future no matter who.
Agree. I like Hook. A lot. I’m glad they’ve kept him around as opposed to banishing him to the little room where they keep all the other discarded characters, but they need to give him something legit to do other than make inappropriate passes at Emma and stick his boot in his mouth around her family. I want him to redeem himself, find his happy ending. This is not something that happens in a half-season arc.
However, as I believe others have pointed out, Hook’s redemption must also involve Neal. He cannot be a father figure to Henry before admitting/regretting that he failed Bae. This would line up with the theme chez Snowing/Rumple/Neal/Emma all struggling with their own feelings of failure as a parent.
It’s a Dell running XP posting via Chrome. I did make one post (I think) from my iPhone 4S but the formatting seems to be a board thing – the span tags etc that I see in a lot of posts, especially ones involving quoting. I think it’s just a board quirk but I like things to look pretty so it drives me nuts… I just have to edit 57 times until I get random tags out of my posts
Are you using the Text editor or the visual editor? I had trouble w/my first post last night, but it seems to have fixed it by clicking the text tab and entering my tagging there.
At this point, I’m ready to party down if we see Neal for more than 5 minutes in 315. I will fall down in rapture if Neal is still alive at the end of the season.
Hi all,
Been lurking for about a month and just wanted to say hi before things got hairy (hairier?) around here.
Short intro, I’ve been a SF fan before SF. The (inevitable) reappearance of Henry’s birth father makes for a beautiful story: Henry’s happy ending is both birth parents (preferably together) + Regina Redeemed. When Bae finally arrives on the scene, lots of feels, it’s all good.
As dontstopbelievin said, I have to think casual fans are following the SF storyline like a beacon, with CS as an annoying distraction designed to exploit the hottness of a certain actor. I cannot be the only casual viewer out there thinking (wishing?) that lion tattoo was inked on the high seas only to heave a sigh of disappointment when its owner was revealed. For the casual viewer, who has been telegraphed SF over and over and over again, CS tries too hard. Heck, I even get SQ feels from time to time. Nothing but eye rolls for CS.
However, all this said, I didn’t realize I was truly shipping SF until the spoiler of doom. After all in my little world, it wasn’t shipping: it was plain fact. SF = end game. No other options. The love triangle was ridiculous and contrived. But now? I was suddenly distraught. How could this be?!!
I sought out every spoiler, every likeminded fan post. It was only then that I saw how numerous CS fans were online. I was floored. What? Emma with a totally random FTL villain? And not even random. The “homewrecker” who arguably started all this? Because, for real, if Milha had not abandoned her son (not even talking about Rumple, she could have left Rumple and taken Bae) there would have been no curse.
Then I found this forum and this thread. Should the spoiler of doom be unfavorable to my ship, I don’t think I can stay with the show. It will leave a hole in my viewing life, and I will need a support group to cope. Then, if the spoiler of doom passes over us, and everything is okay, I’m going to want to celebrate with someone.
So anyway, hope I spoilered out everything (and did so correctly). Thank you for all the support you offer to all us lurkers (I’m sure there are many out there.)
