Unless they shot a scene for an earlier ep where Neal ended up with the Merry Men, and they’re gonna pick up his story again at that point now, without the need for MAP any more?
[adrotate group="5"]Oooh, I wonder if Neal, in a bout of shouting and anger with Hook reveals to Emma that Hook’s true love was his mother. Wouldn’t that be twisted! I can just imagine Emma “What the….?” look on her face. And then her storming out on both of them.
I know there was a bit of discussion on this in another thread, but I reckon Hook will probably spill the beans to Emma himself. No matter who tells her, I hope we see her have a “moment” where she tries to wrap her head around it.
I wonder when exactly Neal will make it out of FTL and end up in the same world as Emma and Hook? We were speculating over the last day or so that if there are Merry Men still in FTL, maybe they’ll help him? If so, might make sense to film that stuff round about now while all those actors are in town? If he’s gonna end up in NL, might make sense to be the ep where Ariel debuts, so the first thing we see of her is her helping him when he’s fresh out of a portal, and they could parallel that with her saving Eric in flashbacks? Maybe? But would 306 be too soon to drop Neal into the middle of whatever’s happening with CS?
Ginny has Harry Potter costumes and all. She’s tweeted pics of herself, Josh and Jen all in Harry Potter costumes before.
But the problem I have even with my own thought is that the first half isn’t the “let’s pair up Emma!” show. It’s “we have to save Henry and defeat PP who is probably slightly insane.” How much romance can their honestly be betweenanyone when the focus is getting Henry back??
Didn’t JMo say in an interview (probably at CC) that Emma’s sole focus would be finding Henry? I wouldn’t even really expect anything romantic to happen between SF if Neal shows up in NL in the midst of saving Henry. I’d think that both of them would have a, “Save Henry first, hash out what happened over the portal later,” mentality. Whenever the time does come for Emma to make a choice about a romantic partner, I think there’ll be evidence for both choices, and with the various layers of angst between all three of them, it should be delightfully complicated for a bit. But if Emma’s confused, and both guys are interested, I could see her actually seriously considering what she truly wants, rather than jumping into a relationship with either one, stringing him along, hurting the other one in the process, because I think she’ll care about them both on a level where she doesn’t want to see either of them hurt.
Maybe that’s just my wishful thinking, because having her actually get with both guys and go back and forth would just end up being an annoying a juvenile storyline, and I’d like to think that K&H have something a bit deeper in mind?
I have mixed feelings about a Tamara/Emma/Neal/Hook confrontation in NL. I do not want Emma or Neal to be out to kill her or him. I do not think that is who they should become. Emma will protect fiercely, might enjoy a bit of violence to blow off steam (her toaster dismantling, chainsawing Regina’s tree), and Bae did come at Hook with a sword, but revenge? I am not sure they’d be as noble as Charming almost dying to prevent Snow from killing Regina, but I do not think they go in for revenge.
No, I don’t see either Emma or Neal being out for revenge. Hook may be out for revenge and kill Tamara before they find out Neal’s alive, but Emma wouldn’t go there. I could see Neal being protective of Emma, because he doesn’t trust Hook. I could see Neal issue a stern warning to Hook that if he hurts Emma, then all bets are off. But he wouldn’t actively set out to hurt Hook, just because he sensed there may be an attraction.
Ginny is just the most adorable. She’s a fandom geek, herself. I feel like if she wasn’t in the show, she’d be obsessed with it anyway.
Yes! She’s so cute!
Josh isn’t usually one of the cast who makes me swoon…but suddenly I’m really looking forward to his scenes in S3. 😉
Also, I couldn’t put just his tweet, so about the person he’s responding to, obviously people get a little forceful on twitter and complain more than they compliment. I don’t feel disappointed and sad already, because it makes sense for Hook and Emma to interact.
It’s almost like people weren’t expecting there to be scenes of Emma and Hook together? But, like, she’s on his ship, in a land that he knows, so odds are they’re gonna be in the general vicinity of one another for the whole time they’re in NL. So if there are photos of a scene with Emma, odds are Hook will be in it too. Just because they’re gonna share scenes, that doesn’t automatically mean they gonna be making out with each other. So I’m not sure why people are jumping to the conclusion that it’s just gonna be The CS Show and getting mad about it.
I know the writers think putting Emma in this situation is “fun” and we’ve seen how snarky and sarcastic Adam and Eddy can be, though they can be sympathetic and sweet as well. I really do think they “accidentally on purpose” put scenes in that fuel things they aren’t going to do. They actually want reactions just like that person because then they know there’s doubt. Conflict with uncertainty, that’s the drama they are hoping to make.
So it is deliberate to make scenes unfold in a way that people can read them differently.
Absolutely, you’ve gotta give every group of viewers a little something to cling onto and relate to, especially if you’re gonna do a triangle type situation. And I suspect they’re gonna do pretty well, giving each section of the fandom some crumbs along the way. Just look at the scene where Hook gives Emma the sword and they share a drink. On the surface, it’s CS hanging out and getting closer, so it’s got something for the CS fans. But once you (over) analyse it a bit, you can see that there are strong tones of SF in that same scene as well, and if she’s carrying Bae’s sword around NL, those SF tones are gonna continue on…the whole time she’ll be hanging out with Hook. Crumbs for everyone! Maybe there’ll be a few bigger, more obvious crumbs for CSers due to the fact that CS will actually be interacting, but that doesn’t mean there’ll be nothing for those of us on the other side of the triangle as well.
I kinda have to laugh when people call the show predictable. Sure, if you’re one of us who spends every waking moment thinking about it, and you put spoiler clues together a month or more before the show airs, then maybe you’ll find the outcome predictable if you’re lucky and it turns out you guessed right. But the average viewer who isn’t into spoilers or online discussion, and that accounts for the majority of the viewing audience, I’m sure they’d consider the show to be an unpredictable roller coaster ride.
i think its fitting.. emma wore her swan necklace all them years carryin a piece of neal with her now he please god still has her necklace and now emma has something that was baes which she uses as a new strength when they reunite they can swap ha
Even when she tosses away one thing that tied her to him emotionally, another thing to tie her to him emotionally will find its way to her to replace it. Their connection cannot ever be severed.
Not gonna lie, I totally flailed when she sent the tweet. We’ve been waiting since day 1 for Ariel to be on this show, and it’s finally about to officially happen. 🙂
Dunno if he’s clarified one scene or two, but it’s something I’m wondering about too. I could see Hook offering his coat if she’s cold, having just come out of the water. But then there appear to be shots of her standing on deck, no coat, but drenched hair. Guess she could still get wet just coming out of the portal though, before she goes overboard?
