What things does Neal see as “black and white”? I don’t see him as belittling Emma to make her doubt herself.
I think his argument with his dad after breaking up Gold/Lacey’s bullying of Dr. Whale exemplifies this the best. He doesn’t see the full picture here. Regina cursed Belle, gave her fake memories and when he sees Golden Lacey bullying Whale, he’s like “I knew you haven’t changed.” Storybrooke’s a small town and he doesn’t know that Regina cursed Belle and the only way Gold can be with her is to be bad?
In Manhattan, Emma had to run after him to catch him, cause Neal was still running away from her and when she did, Neal yelled at her, (it’s almost if he doesn’t call her names) and he told her that if he had known about her he would never have approached her.
Do you realize how rude it is to say that? Emma needed to be told she did matter to him, that she meant something but Neal laughed at her. It could be because he was nervous and yet, at the bar, Neal could have apologized but he didn’t.
Why not apologizing back then? Why not telling her she did matter to him?
Then, there’s looking back to the event post-Manhattan. Remember, how we all hated how Henry treated Emma after he found out that Neal, his bio-dad was alive? All that time together and Neal never sat Henry down and explained to him that Emma was trying to protect him and never meant to lie and hurt him? ‘Cause that would have been the fatherly thing to do, to call him out on his rudeness towards his mom. It never happened.
Neal keeps mocking Emma, trying to get a jealous reaction from her. This is very childish and mean behavior. Emma is wounded because he found Tallahassee with someone else, because he moved on and it’s like Neal is trying to prove to her that he’s over her now. It’s mean, rude and unacceptable.
He never believed her, in her aptitudes and skills, everything that makes her Emma. He doubts her, he never believes her and treats her like a child. Yes, Emma’s super power doesn’t work sometimes but come on, she was spot on about Tamara the whole time and it wasn’t jealousy or had nothing to do with wanting to get back together with her ex.
[adrotate group="5"]I hope we get to meet Hook’s father as some point. but I don’t think he was lying to Bae about his dad.
I haven’t had a calendar in my room since probably forever. I’d always forget to change it once the year is up. I just rely on my Google calender and my cell phone to keep updated.
I think this season the writers tried too much. I understand wanting Emma to see her roots and bond with Snow, because she needed that but it does feel like our characters really haven’t had a chance to breathe because after one crisis is solved, there’s another one around the corner.
Hopefully, next season with our main cast going to Neverland, the storytelling will be simplified.

Hate’s a strong word but there’s something about Neal that really rubs me the wrong way. I really like Bae in the flashbacks but it’s like he and Neal aren’t even the same person. He just comes across as such a jerk whenever he and Emma have differing opinions on something (see: Tamara & Emma’s “superpower”), he can really get on my nerves. 🙁
You’re not the only one who feels that way. I hate the way he makes Emma doubt herself. I didn’t mind the teasing part in the beginning but now, and the way he still sees things as black and white is really unnerving. Guess Henry is the same way to a degree but Neal’s an adult! I feel like ever since he came to Storybrooke, he’s done nothing but belittle Emma.
I just listened to the episode. 😆 It was good. Too bad there’s no video to go along with it. 😆 Loved the bloopers at the end.

Hmm.. I don’t think so. We can always see August in a flashback.
I hope so. If not, dangling plot hole.

Or if you believe some current theories, Pinocchio and Bae were in NL together.
😯 That’s a new one, especially since we know he came through to our world seconds before baby Emma did.
