Thanks POM!! For the life of me I could not get it to post.
@obisgirl we seriously need a scene with the Brotherhood of Badassery: Hook, Hood, Charming, Knave and Rumple tromping thru the woods with the snark flying
[adrotate group="5"]As you wish……..

EDIT: for some reason the pics won’t post on here. oh well enjoy anyway
The comparison is that those objects meant a great deal to the people they belonged too. They hold great sentimental value. For example, the chipped cup was Rumple’s last memento of Belle when he believed her dead. In Broken he said that it was the only thing in his shop that he truly cherished. The items aren’t just objects, they’re memories. The JR wasn’t Hook’s home just because it was a roof over his head, the JR holds a lot of memories for Hook: Milah, Bae, Liam, being a pirate, etc.
Agreed 100%. I just don’t like that his sacrifice (and it WAS a sacrifice) is belittled because he’s Hook.
And that gif says it all @obisgirl. Thanks for posting it!
Getting back to the Hook sacrificing his ship topic, and I hope I’m not rehashing anything anyone already brought up (if I am, sorry in advance), I have to laugh at the expressed point that some people make that Hook was just being selfish. You know, the argument could be made that by Hook giving up his ship he was the true hero of 3B. That action in of itself was the catalyst for the curse being broken. The fact is that had he not traded his ship, Emma would never had gone back to SB with Henry and Regina would not have been able to use her white magic to defeat the WW. Sure, Hook traded the JR for another chance with Emma, but if he were truly selfish he would have stayed in NY and tried to ingratiate himself in her and Henry’s life (that I would have loved to see, if not only of the comedic blunders of Hook trying to fit in a big city). Instead, he brought her to SB because by his own admission , her family needed her. His home is gone and it was the only thing of value he had. The chipped cup, although a powerful symbol of love was never someones home, and neither was the Yellow Bug or the Swan necklace so I don’t get the comparisons to those objects to the value of the JR and what it meant for Hook to give it up.
On the other hand, Neal is hailed as a hero. Why? Because for purely selfish reasons he brought the DO back because he felt that was his only shot at getting back to Henry and Emma (and in no way shape or form was he planning on ever trying to get into Emma’s pants because apparently Neals’ love transcends Taco Time). Neal saved the town by giving them the WW’s name. The same WW who would not have had the power to do all that damage had she not had control over the DO. Thanks Neal.
Snowing should have just named their kid Killy.
Okay, rant over. Happy Thursday everyone!!!
Leaving this here because of the “Good Feels” it gave me reading it this morning 😉 Spoiler tagging the whole thing just in case.
Emma and Killian Committing To Each Other and Taking It To The Next Level
Okay, first of all, God bless the ABC promo people whose hand slipped and included that phrase in the official season 4 description. Second of all, the reason they included that question is because the answer to it is yes. That’s how you set audience expectations; THAT is Emma and Killian’s overriding storyline for season 4. We finally get to see them in a full-fledged love story. On TV shows in general, and especially in OUAT, you don’t float that big of a romantic teaser for the SHOW’S MAIN CHARACTER and her new love interest (confirmed many times by the showrunners to have been the plan all along) only to be like “lolnope” and a giant disappointment. So the fact that we are being asked if Emma and Killian will overcome their damages and commit and take it to the next level means that they will. Which is alone enough to start calling Life Alert, but hang in there.First, the “next step” of being in a formal relationship has already been taken; we’re told at the start of the season that Emma is dealing with having a “stable relationship for once.” So the next step can’t be that they merely agree to date; they’ve already done that, and that was the note they closed last season on — after two seasons of buildup, they are finally and officially together. Something bigger is coming for the end of this season, especially due to the fact that one of the chief themes is never giving up on the people you love (and remember, it was THEIR love. Not just Killian’s love, but THEIR LOVE). In 4A, we’ll see them as their damaged selves, Killian struggling with his “bad boy” side and Emma struggling with her issues, as they try to work out what their relationship looks like. They love each other, but there are challenges and obstacles to be faced, and it’ll be hard.
But then in 4B, we build on all that, and the chief pieces of foreshadowing from season 3: a) the failed TLK, and b) all the wedding talk surrounding Emma. Remember, those are still unresolved, and remember also that it was really, really blatant how they were positioning Killian as the man to fulfill all that. At the end of season 4, once they have passed through the struggle in 22 episodes, faced their issues and fallen even more in love, either one of those is the natural culmination to their story, and I’m honestly inclined to think it may well be an engagement. Just a TLK is possible too, of course, but that alone does not signify “commitment” and “next level.” Killian already gave up his ship for her, and while that was a profound demonstration of love, it served only to start their exploration of a relationship, not to confirm them as IT for all time (even though we know they are). They’re already using a green screen to film a CS kiss in 4×03, so Emma’s magic is probably acting out. Plus we briefly had the TLK light ring in 3×20 when she kissed him to save his life. So while a TLK could be the payoff, I’m still thinking it’s going to be more.
Just look at Emma’s reaction in the 4×03 spoilers. She’s angry at Killian for doing something she didn’t like, he apologizes, and then goes in for a kiss, which she eagerly and passionately accepts. She doesn’t push him away or shut him out. She has already made her choice, and therefore, in the interest of storytelling and the compressed frame of events in which things happen on this show, this is the logical next development; they’re not going to hang around in stasis just dating for the next several seasons. They’re going to move forward. The Walsh storyline was still included for a reason, and all the marriage talk around her, the blatant foreshadowing of a proposal and marriage and eventual pirate babies in 3×22. So yeah. Methinks it be acoming.
Needless to say, we will die. [/spoiler]
EDIT: I’m not getting my hopes up over the last bit of foreshadowing as I see that as a series finale type thing
OMG, thank you thank you thank you for the KISS pics @surayya!!! Great way to wake up 🙂 Now I’m really looking forward to that date.
*waves* HI @lady!!! Great to have a new person joining our thread. Your English is great btw. Where in the world are you?
Well get used to it” (before changing that to “Emma, you’re not cute and cuddly anymore so our relationship isn’t what I wanted. Charming, let’s make another baby!”). By giving up the JR, Hook has done the one thing that means so much to Emma, he’s PUT HER FIRST.
Oh my God POM, you’re funny ! 🙂 TBH, I never really believed Emma took offense by Snows’ confession. After all, Emma went thru the same thing with Henry; never got to see his first smile, first steps etc etc and I’m sure there’s a TON of regret there too. She really can’t fault MM for wanting the same things she herself missed out on and she knows Snow and David love her.
Happy Monday everyone! Tomorrow they film in Steveson so if we’re lucky we’ll get a preview of Killians new togs. I’ve got my smelling salts all ready to go 🙂
