I thought it was great acting by Jared Gilmore when Regina did the memory spell on Henry, and I liked how Henry was helping Emma search Neal’s room. If Henry behaved more like he did in The Evil Queen and less like a brat like he did in Lady of the Lake, I would find him a more likable character in general.

I wouldn’t hate on Henry for his actions. If you want to hate Henry for his actions and some of the mean comments he makes, just remember, the writers are responsible for that. They write this stuff.
I still think it’s too early to hate Henry. He’s a kid, who can be mean, he can be nice but also, he’s a kid.
Okay, I am starting to understand the reasons behind the hate for Henry, but again, he’s a kid. and kids sometimes do mean things, even when they don’t mean to. so in that way, I feel like some of the hate is misguided.

I wouldn’t made that connection before, but you know who Henry does remind me of? Nathan from Heroes.
where it becomes this thing, that he’s in danger of dying every season. it happened with Nathan every season until the writers finally realized, okay, we need to be serious about this for once and actually killed him. and Nathan continually flip-flopped between good and evil every season until he died, trying to redeem himself.. Not that I want to see Henry die. It’s never good a thing to see on TV, or anywhere in general.
but back to my original point, he’s a kid. and in that regard, I feel like the hate is misguided.

I think Neal and Emma will give it another go briefly because they still have leftover feelings for each other. However they will both realise that they were different people when they had been together, and whilst there will always be the “what if” factor in their relationship, they will realise that they can’t just pretend the past eleven years didn’t happen.
I would actually prefer that they never reconnect at all, but yeah, I agree, about the growing apart thing.
This Home Office theory reminds me a lot of The Intiative from Season 4 of Buffy: The Vampire, which was not my favorite season for several reasons. It was a weak storyline and Riley was a dud (I was not sad to see him leave later the next season..
But the purpose of Buffy's The Initiative (at first anyway) was to capture demons, make them impudent so they could not kill humans and release the non-threatening ones back into the public. Eventually, it was found out later the group's lead scientist was making a monster/human hybrid to create the ultimate super soldier who ended up killing her and becoming fascinated with human anatomy and why things the way they are. Like I said, season 4 was my least favorite season..
but I can see Home Office kind of working the same way, minus the demons. They could be trying to harness magic for their own dirty motives, instead of destroying it.

Kat, you are absolutely right. I think because Henry is still quite young (11, right?), he hasn’t nailed the concept down of having alternate endings that aren’t ideal, but still have civility involved. I really don’t think Swanfire is going to happen, and even if it does, it will be short-lived. Emma has been betrayed and wounded too deeply to go back to the perpetrator who caused it.
I agree on all accounts.

I totally agree with the statement that it would be Henry’s happy ending, not necessarily Emma’s. It’s why I’m so adamant that I want them all in Henry’s life but at some point he needs to grow up and realize that their lives AREN’T fairy tales, they have real world experiences and sometimes these things happen but they all need to be able to coexist for his sake. (And by coexist I mean get along, not live together literally!)
.
I hope so too.
There’s that Jennifer/Colin interview that supposed to come out very soon. Like this month. Maybe there will be some happy CS spoilers in there.
I’m glad I could make you all feel better. It makes me feel good too. 😀

Not to mention the fact that a lot of the characters themselves ship it which makes everybody seem to think it has to happen for Henry to have his happy ending too.
But that would be Henry’s happy ending. Not Emma’s. Yes, of course Neal should have a presence in Henry’s life because he’s his dad, but I don’t think it would be a romantic one for Emma.

I’ve always been of the mindset that Emma & Neal have to have a lot of talks about the past and come to grips with it but learn that they are different people now and aren’t necessarily right for each other.

I completely agree.
