That kind of misdirection/tease might work with the casual watcher that just tunes in on Sundays, but the hardcore fandom has been discussing this for some time.
Of course, their goal may be more focused on getting the Twitter chatter up — which is always a good thing. That’s actually something which has surprised me a bit. I’ve seen a lot of overlap between Once fans and Fringe, yet Twitter is rather quiet in comparisons. I sorta miss the mass watching with all the running commentary, etc.
I agree that the casual fans are easily misdirected but it’s the other random, non-hyped moments that still manage to surprise the hardcore fans. Looking forward to seeing what curveball they throw us next.
I think the problem is…as much as they want people to tweet about stuff, some of us (on the east coast especially) can’t really do so without spoiling it for our west coast friends. I’d love to be able to comment and use their hashtags (I did for the end of Fringe), but some of them are just so…spoilery!

Wow thanks for that! Lots of good info! Was a little concerned about (but looking forward to) the Hook stuff as a Captain Swan fan and then I scrolled further down…
Cue the RumBelle meltdown in 3…2…1…

Can’t believe they released that much! I guess it’s because some lucky people got to see it at PaleyFest. Can it be Sunday now so we can get the rest please????

There is one positive on it, though… the hiatus does allow for more time in post production where all the CGI and effects are done. I’m betting these last episodes are going to be fairly intense, so giving them the extra time to do their magic could pay off for the fans.
Now what they do with the down time, I think, is an open discussion. Personally, I would really like to see them select a few key episodes that would help get new viewers interested and up to speed. A serial show like this has a hard time getting new viewers, so anything the network can do to make it easier helps.
Agreed on all counts. I know last year they put season 1 on instant streaming on Netflix and that + word of mouth helped TONS. Hopefully more people will catch up that way after hearing good things about it and join us in the future.

Please click and read ASAP before someone removes this web page!
One of the other articles from the same source said that we would be seeing Ariel this season when the writers / creators / everybody else has said nope so I’d take everything with a grain of salt. People interpret the little bits they hear very differently and then try to present them in a way that nobody else is doing when they all were given the same information. I have a feeling a lot of it is very twisted versions of what may happen, given whatever they heard to begin with.
The creators have also said no more alternate fairy tale identities will be shown this season, which leaves out definitive adding of hats to Bae unless it's in a roundabout way and hinted at – like possible Neverland connections – so while I still think he's Peter or a lost boy, I just can't blindly accept this vs what was said at PaleyFest

Loved watching Paleyfest too!
I’m just going to point out that for those people that need it pointed out- Remember ALL we know of Hook is from AFTER Rumple MURDERED Milah in front of Hook.All we know about Hook, as fact, from before then, is he was your typical swashbuckling pirate (so egotistical, cunning & a bit of a bully), whom when a sad, lonely lady, looking for adventure came calling & made it clear that she neither loved or wanted to be with her ‘loser’ husband Rumple, he took her under his sail (wing just doesn’t seem right lol)/ protection & eventually fell in love with her…… that is it.
No murder that we know of as fact before then & the only attempted murder he committed happened AFTER & ONLY to Rumple himself.
They guy knows how to use a gun, if he wanted Belle dead when he shot her, he’d have killed her- he wanted her to loose her memory & wounding her with the gun was the method he had at hand & so the method he used- If he was truly evil, he’d have killed Belle twice over already (not including her lying in the hospital with no memory of him & so is easy pickings), killed Aurora, Killed Emma/ Snow/ Mulan when he had the chance & also killed Rumple BEFORE he became the darkone & killed Milah.He hasn’t done 1/10th the bad/evil stuff Regina or Rumple has done (I doubt anyone…aside from Rumple can match Cora’s bad deeds to date), yet Hook seems to be taking the rap for his minor misdeeds, in the face of their real evil- people amaze me sometimes 😮 🙄
THIS a million times over! We know so much more about the other characters and I have a feeling / hope that once we get to see more of Hook’s story people will cut him a break. Rumple set in motion a whole curse that hurt a lot of people when he lost his son (which was his own fault) whereas Hook is singularly focused on his revenge of Rumple for taking Milah away from him (not to mention his hand).
I really think a lot of it stems from the fact that people already know a lot of Rumple’s backstory and have grown to love him (in spite of what all he’s done…) and they hate Hook simply because he’s against Rumple. Frankly I love them both and am looking forward to watching Emma find a way to get through to Hook (let’s face it…who else could??)
I want them both around for as long as possible so let them feud but do not pretend that Hook is somehow sooo much worse when all we’ve seen is his revenge path and hardly anything from 300 years prior before the woman he loved was murdered in front of him. Pretty sure Rumple wouldn’t sit around doing nothing if something happened to Belle and people would be all for it. Rumple spent his 300 years devising a curse that ruined a lot of lives, but heaven forbid Hook should spend his 300 years trying to find a way to get back at Rumple for killing the woman he loved right in front of him. At least he’s only after 1 person, not every story book character imaginable.
Again, I love Hook & Rumple, and there’s lots of potential for all the drama but I really think that’s where a lot of the Hook – hate comes from. Either that or people don’t get or like his sense of humor and are offended by him. In which case I sincerely hope they don’t like Jack Sparrow or any other popular pirate whatsoever. Just my 2 cents.

Now, as for the whole “he slept with her child’s, father’s, mother” thing- it was 300yrs ago! Come on, it’s not like they had kids of their own or were still ‘together’?! 🙄
If that’s just OTT ‘wrong’ & weird isn’t allowed any more, then they may as well tank the show now, as their whole family tree is very narrow & it seems everyone is connected to everyone else, one way or the other- Snow/charming more so than others!
That’s like saying siblings from Family A, cant BOTH marry siblings from Family B (ie Male A, marries Female B & Female A, marries Male B), because 1) they are sisters & brothers-in law &/or 2) 1 of the A sibling’s, slept with the B’s mother 5yrs before either B was born for instance…. This is the real world folks- sleeping with someone’s distant family member- esp an in-law, is just not a big deal these days!
It’s not something I’d personally go out & achieve- but I’m sure it happens more often than never 😉
I’m sure there are people out there who have married someone they love after finding out they had slept with their mother in law- In this case 300yrs ago AFTER she had left your father in law! 🙄Crazier things have definitely happened and yes it was 300 years ago! Also, Emma & Neal were never married so there’s no in-law thing to speak of, not to mention the fact that Hook himself is in no way related to Neal or Henry or more to the point Emma so what’s wrong with that?? Does it make it a very weird way that they’re connected sure. There’s also people who are friends of a distant relative’s distant relative’s next door neighbor but if that’s how you connect to a person than who cares? There’s no blood relation there so I see no problem and again, it was 300 years ago. If there’s anything to be freaked out by it’s that but if Emma has a problem with that then we’re not gonna get SwanFire either. Not to mention that the first real ship on this show other than Snowing was RumBelle and goodness knows there’s an age difference there and if Belle doesn’t mind than I really doubt that it’s gonna stop Emma from following her heart someday – though both guys are a little in the doghouse at the moment in that regard.

Is it just me or did they pick the word wicked carefully to give a nod to the wicked witch from wizard of oz. I think we shall see Cora again, even if she dies soon, once we travel to oz.
Regina has hinted that she’s aware that using magic in excess can turn one green…would certainly be interesting if there were some connection to Cora. Or it could be a total misdirect; looking forward to seeing Oz so hopefully we get the Wicked Witch at some point. Have we seen Cora get wet? haha – I know she used an umbrella once, but that might be a little nod to it as well if she does have some connection to Oz. I need to start my rewatch soon but I can’t remember if we’ve seen her get wet or not – or perhaps in this version getting wet can’t kill the wicked witch but maybe it removes the green / power?
As for the other sneak peak…I love RumBelle (though I’m not usually a very vocal shipper), and I absolutely LOVED this clip! So sweet to see Rumple’s good side and glad Neal & Emma were there to witness it. Hopefully this will help Belle / whoever she thinks she is give Rumple a chance to get back in her good graces and perhaps we’ll get a chance to see Rumple actually court her! Would love to see that happen and then have Belle get her memories back and see what lengths he went to to try to get her back in the “right” way since according to him there’s no magical fix.
It almost makes it sweeter that this time he’s actually fighting for her, just as she always fought for him. Such an awesome clip; can’t wait to see it in context and find out what happens next for them. You could definitely see her softening to him and it was great ()as others have pointed out) that he spent what he at least thinks are some of his last moments to tell her who SHE is and how undeserving of her he has always been but how she makes him feel and the dreams he has about being the person she thinks he is. So sweet!!! Can’t wait for Sunday….can it be now please??

Yay for getting twitter commentary for the episode! I guess it really will be a big one if they’re doing that again. Excited to see that Jane will be a part of it and it makes sense for Ginny & Jane to do it, Josh too a bit but anybody else concerned that Meghan is doing one? I hadn’t heard of a lot of Ruby / Red in this episode so it has me a little concerned. The whole #OneWillDie thing has me a little paranoid.
Guess I’ll have to rewatch so I can keep up with all the PT tweets. Tough work but somebody’s gotta do it, right? 😉

I think if he had possession of it he wouldn’t have been so worried about the possiblity of her coming to town. He also wouldn’t have assumed that she was already dead. The fact that he was willing to strand Emma, the one who owed him a huge favor to help find his son, in present day FTL makes me think that he doesn’t know where it is or if he does he doesn’t remember (and I greatly doubt that he would forget something THAT important).
I do think he has a connection to it somehow (he probably taught her how to remove hearts, that love is weakness, etc etc and may have even helped her remove her own but she’s probably the only one who actually knows where it is.

I voted as well – but it looks like some guy from Vampire Diaries is way ahead.
Sadly I think people saw Ian’s name and then just voted without even looking at the rest. There are a handful on there that are getting wayyyy less votes than I would have expected, Colin included. Not overly surprised that Ian is winning but it’s just unreal that the rest are hardly getting any votes at all.
