Oooohh I was reading a CS fic and in it Hook thought about how TLK is supposed to break any curse but how he tried TLK once before and it didn’t work. Do you think that will come up at all in the actual show? I think it would be good to revisit that and maybe the Charmings tell him it doesn’t work when memories are lost. There hasn’t been any mention of it at all about him trying TLK despite the fact that Emma would obviously remember that he tried.
I hope they do revisit it because that failed TLK has been such a bone of contention in the fandom to the point that I’m still seeing comments on FB and tumblr on how it’s been proven that Hook and Emma are not TL. I want it cleared up once and for all so its not shoved back in our faces when anyone brings up Neal.
The haters can say as they please, honestly EVERYONE who matters is all but screaming “it’s been leading up to CS the whole time” We are not wearing shipping goggles, but the haters ARE. Those that say they havent seen any indication of Emma’s feelings toward Hook etc. & CS is happening to fast, need to go rewatch the show from S2 on WITHOUT THEIR HATER GOGGLES ON! Emma lost Neal over a decade ago, his death was simply a means to put that chapter of her life to bed once & for all- like she said ‘he reminder her of all that pain & his death would make it easier for her to move on’, while that is how the cookie crumbled & she has truly moved on now. I’m sorry if that sound harsh to any NF or Sf fans reading this, but it is the truth. Emma & Hook had a connection from the moment they meet, Emma felt ‘something’ for him right from the start- enough to scar her into betraying him- just in case! From that moment on, CS has been the slow burning, TL story smoulding away in the background of many episodes all through S2, then it became a growing blaze in 3A, now in 3B its a roaring fire, I can only guess that S4 will see CS being the full on blazing bonfire we’ve been leading up too, right along side Snowing, Rumbelle & OQ
THANK YOU!! That was a perfect post.
Just to let you guys know if you want to bid on autographed items from OUAT they are available at http://www.silentauctionpro.com/bidonline.php?groupId=453 for William Shatners charity auction. So far the high bid for a Jolly Roger poster sign by Colin is already at $400.
I don’t think anyone has posted these recaps yet:

I’d say overall they were pretty positive reviews coming from two non CS shippers. It was a fun episode overall, regardless of what you ship.
This made me laugh outloud today 🙂
Good meta, made me feel better. Can’t post it here due to naughty language.
Jenna_BParticipant To me, Neal was meant to embody desperation. A very unpopular thought, I know, which is why I only dare say it here. But even from the beginning – he was desperate to leave the EF because of what Rumple had become. He was desperate to get off the JR when he realized who Hook was. He was even desperate to do the right thing, which, in my opinion, it was so easy for August to persuade Neal that he needed to leave Emma. That desperation was his fatal flaw – it caused him to act before thinking. And it made him an easy target for people like August and Z to manipulate so they could achieve their own goals. And it makes Baelfire very much Rumple’s son – as we saw Rumple’s own desperation in becoming the Dark One in the first place.
thank you @Jenna_B I think that was very well said. I could never really put my finger on what bothered me most about Neal, and desperation seems to be the right fit. I wanted to like him, I really did, and I admit that the Neal I saw in Manhattan who stood up for Emma in front of his father was the best version of him. But yeah, you’re right, he was impulsive and desperate which is too bad because he could have been so much more.
