OMG you guys, you have to read Once Upon a Fans interview. There’s a lot of good stuff in there for us.
[adrotate group="5"]I totally agree @surayya
And you’re right, once Once starts to get less advertising, that’s when fans should be worried. Heroes went through a period of that towards the end.
Thanks @HappyEndings, I already know how to do ‘normal’ spoiler blocking, I was wanting to be able to spoiler block peoples ‘spoiler’ quotes. As it can sometimes get hard to follow posts when the quoted ‘spoiler blocked’ posts, arent in the quote bubble, nor do i want to quote spoiler containing posts & not be able to spoiler block them, as it makes RumpleGirls life much harder than it needs to be.
Okay, so this is actually very easy. I learned how to do it a few pages back, but I’ll post again.
Regina was suppose to be on set too
The best way is to still quote someone, like normal and then remove the
and replace with spoiler tags. Then, just click blockquote.
Nice @once_dude 🙂
Thanks. I’ve worked on a series of ‘hope’ metas for 3A. The last one for the winter finale is a long one.

Oh I read that earlier
you should post it here @obisgirl!!! I guess I could. 😉
So, I did this thing, where I went back to season one and continued through season two and 3A, looking for all instances of ‘hope’ or a variation of the theme in dialogue. During the hiatus, in addition to other things, I’m going to look at hope and the context of how it was used throughout this first half.
First up, episode 3×01 “The Heart of the Truest Believer.”
After JR6 travel from Storybrooke to Neverland, there’s a conversation between Hook and Regina as Hook’s sailing the ship:
Hook: My plan is to bring us to the far side of the island, link up with the widest part of the river, then we sail right through and take him by surprise. The irony.
Regina: What irony?
Hook: Oh. I spent more time than I care to remember trying to leave this place to kill Rumpelstiltskin. And here I am, sailing right back into its heart with him as my guest of honor. It’s not quite the happy ending I was hoping for.
Before we move onto the second half here, it’s important to note Hook’s reflection on the recent change of events. His revenge was his hope for salvation for 300 years. He strongly believed if he succeeded in killing Rumple, it would make him happy but he started to realize in The Evil Queen, if he did succeed, he would still be alone and have wasted his life in the process. He thought his happy ending would be different, that killing Rumple would be his happy ending but it’s not.
Regina: Greg Mendell said something funny to me. He said I’m a villain, and that villains don’t get happy endings. You believe that?
Hook: I hope not. Or we’ve wasted our lives.This is also interesting foreshadowing, considering what happens in the winter finale and Rumple’s sacrifice. But back to Hook here. Adam and Eddie teased, “…He’s a hero trapped in a villain’s body or a villain trapped in a hero’s body. I don’t know which one it is yet.”
Turns out, he was a hero all long trapped in a villains body, but most importantly, he doesn’t want to see himself as a villain anymore but a hero. And he strongly hopes with that statement, that he hasn’t wasted his life and he still has a chance at true love in the future.
Then, we have the camera pan from Hook and Regina to Emma. Because Emma is his hope, for a possible happy ending. He doesn’t know it yet and doesn’t realize he loves her until 3×05 but she’s is happy ending and true love. He has hope because of her and she has hope because of him.
