@rogvortex58 OMG!! I love the Captain Swan Podcast. It’s one of the things that has been keeping me sane during the hiatus. You guys are so funny and I love your Hook impressions!!
I think my favorite new Hookism has come from your podcast: The Red Vest of Sex.

Colin trying to stumble his way through the end of that interview and ending with “Um, yeah but . . . he likes her.” while looking all shy and blushing is the darn cutest thing I have seen that man do yet!!! Not to mention JMo being all cutesy watching him trying to get through it. They would both lose their life savings in Vegas – terrible poker faces, it appears they have both just given up and decided to no longer look at the camera because they know they will give it away!!
And I am in COMPLETE agreement about the “birth father” comment. You know why??? My husband is my second husband. My first husband is my son’s BIRTH FATHER – that is EXACTLY what I call him because he has basically no involvement in my son’s life – my husband has raised my son since he was 2 years old, he considers him his dad. So using the BIRTH FATHER term is definately what you use when there are two father figures in a child’s life – especially if one of them is absent (as in dead, for example). I caught that in the interview as well.
So excited, so excited, SO EXCITED!!!
@MysteryKat25 That’s it! I have to have my husband show me how to be tech savvy around here so I can post cool things like fireworks and explosives after your posts. I no longer need CS fanfic, we have MysteryKat back!!
Totally agree with you!! I love the leather dress idea – so darn cute! I noticed that in the promo pics and freaked out. Plus it’s BLACK leather, her pirates signature color.
I don’t want to read too much into the wording of things but since the SF folks are rejoicing over it I guess I’ll go with it – I do think it’s interesting that Emma had to “bale” on her Boston apartment because of a fire. But am I missing something? She says that a year ago a fire DESTROYED her apartment and they moved to New York. I don’t undersand the SF rejoicing. If anything I see that Emma’s life was going along just fine and then Neal showed up and destroyed it – just like Emma told Neal she wished he was dead. Like I said, I don’t want to read anything into words that might not really be there but the good SF folks opened that particular can of worms. The move to NYC seemed to be the way to get Emma to be able to remember, not some sentimental type of thing – she didn’t even know Neal lived there. And if you want to follow that logic NYC is also the last place outside of SB in the real world Emma interacted with her pirate – she locked him up in a closet. So she just as easily has memories of Hook in NYC as she does Neal Fire Bagel Persom. Plus she has the shackles she chained Hook up with hanging on her apartment wall so she clearly has SOME kind of memory locked away in her mind of enjoying chaining Hook up. So maybe it’s the memory of locking him up in a closet in NYC that made her want to go there. See I can do that too.
But truthfully, who wouldn’t carry fond memories of chaining that man up. Ooops! Did I say that out loud???
Oh wow! Great point, SK. It never occurred to me that CS is the ONE romantic couple that has played out in “real time” on the show. I mean, I guess I always knew it but never really thought about it that way. It’s just another thing that solidifies to me that CS are supposed to be THE big True Love couple on the show – that they would want to show the entire relationship develop from the very beginning. And interesting how we got back story on Hook before we got any interaction with Hook and Emma together. I mean they obviously had to introduce him so the audience would already know he was Hook when she found him, but they were already establishing a soft spot for him from the beginning – that he became Captain Hook because of losing Milah, even though he wasn’t squeaky clean at that time. So we were NEVER supposed to think of Hook as a villain in the way that we thought of Rumple and Regina as villains – we had much more time to see them being evil before we got their back stories. We were really supposed to focus on the fact that Hook had spent 300 years plotting revenge on Rumple for killing the woman he loved – the entire time we knew Hook was Hook because he lost someone he loved. Then we got even MORE backstory on him that showed that he once was INCREDIBLY squeaky clean. His story has really been handled totally differently from Rumple’s and Regina’s.
You know I don’t get the whole “Hook’s redemption storyline is going way too fast”, even from a purely storyline perspective. Why does every villain have to have a long and drawn out redemption arc? I am also hearing that people are hoping that the WWW is going to REMAIN evil because they are tired of all the villains turning “good.” I actually agree, but that’s also why I don’t understand why Hook can’t be a character who literally met his true love, realized that he no longer wanted to be the villain he became, and decided to go back to the person he used to be. His storyline is unique in that he is having to convince people that he is NO LONGER a villain as opposed to one who is struggling with whether he wants to be one or not. Without differing villain storyline this show would get old really fast. That’s why, as horrendous as Pan was, his villain story was unique – he literally had no redemptive qualities at all – even right up until the end, unlike Cora right at her death, he was still evil.
Both Emma and Hook are fiercely loyal to their families – unfortunately their definition of “family” has not been traditional because of the events that have unfolded in their lives. They both made choices that have negatively affected their lives because of being “left” by people they loved and considered their family (whether by choice or not). Everyone on this show has their own “path” to a happy ending. Just like in real life, some people “get it” faster than others when they realize they need to turn their life around and make some major changes. Some people are literally able to wake up one day and, cold turkey, realize what they need to do and never look back again. Some people struggle for years and NEVER get there. I don’t see why the show shouldn’t portray anything different.
@MysteryKat How I’ve missed your marathon posts!!! It’s just not the same without you!!!
I am was literally so excited when I saw there was a sneak peek I couldn’t get my fingers to work!
I am so excited to see Hook and Emma together again for real (or as real as can be for fictional TV characters), there are only so many times you can watch the SAME youtube videos, read the SAME fanfic, and rewatch the SAME episodes before you begin to question your own sanity.
As a side note: Colin O’Donoghue . . . that man is a majestic creature. I’m so happy I am already married and done with the whole dating scene because if I were still single that man would seriously raise my expectations to unreasonable levels.
Let’s just say there’s only one man on my “allowable celebrities” list. I can never make a OUaT set visit because if I ever spotted Colin my husband would divorce me.
Colin looks good in everything, with or without the guyliner. But I agree that he has been marketed as Hook in his signature black leather – and it will be a big deal when he is finally seen without out it (I mean in normal clothes – gah!). Even Colin has said that as soon as he puts the leather coat on he gets into character. But he has already been seen without it on the show – when he was found by Emma, Snow, and Mulan, and during all of Tallahassee. I think there have been some other times as well.
I’m gonna be pretty ticked (yet relieved?) if it ends up that Ruby is the character that dies. She USED to be a regular character (season 2) and then just disappeared. So bringing her back and killing her off to never have her return again would take care of all the “what happened to Ruby” quips.
But that would be a low blow to all the fans freaking out during the hiatus.
