Bringing this here so I don’t get pounced on . . .
Has anyone read the theories that Bae is the Wizard of Oz?
I have been thinking that Rumple might be the Wizard of Oz but I have to say that I LIKE this theory that it could be Bae. I have absolutely no reason to back up this theory – I would have to go back and look for to see if there are any clues to support this.
But here is why I like this theory. I LOVED Bae when he was a kid, assumed I would love him as Neal but just couldn’t bond with him. Definately don’t like him with him Emma. Feel like they haven’t made an effort to even give him much of a purpose on the show – even though he is Henry’s father and the whole reason for the curse (and now we find, part of Pan’s plan as well). As Neal he just seems kind of . . . there. It got better when they had him reconcile with Rumple right before the hiatus. He DESERVES a MAJOR plot line and a MAJOR character twist besides just being Henry’s dad since everyone pretty much called that from the beginning.
Since the WWW is coming it would be perfect timing to have Neal FINALLY get a storyline that makes me love him the way I did when he was Bae. And we all want him to get his happy ending too – not that I think every character needs to be rushed into a ship but what kind of cool shipping twist would Neal as the Wizard of Oz with the WWW be!!!!
[adrotate group="5"]What is everyone’s favourite moment of Save Henry??? Lol mine is “As you wish milady”
(I’m sure that’s all of ours haha) I have to do a complete rewatch but I think this is my favorite too. Aside from the obvious second Princess Bride reference (oh bring on the third asap PLEASE!!!), I love it because of the comment Hook made in one of the previous episodes (can’t remember which one) about how he gives the orders on his ship or something like that. But as soon as Emma says to do something on his ship he is immediately like “As you wish, milady.”
I have a theory on this Keck guy’s Lady Di picture. I’m still getting caught up so apologies if someone already posted this.
What if they are going to do a parallel to how Neal was engaged to Tamara. What if Emma is engaged to Chris Gorham’s character but when Hook shows up, instead of sticking with him like Neal did when Emma came back into his life, Emma chooses to break off her engagement – even though she and Hook where never officially a couple. Because they are TL!!
Hi all! And welcome new shipmates and fellow moms!! So glad you have joined us!
Looks like I have a lot to catch up on from being away just a few days (I should know better)!! We were snowed in for a week and the kiddo finally went back to school on Friday after a 2 hour delay (hallelujah!!).
Spoiler?? There’s a spoiler???
Sarah – If you are still here:
I totally get you!!
Just take a break for awhile. I did the same thing last year.
I’m a married woman with a son myself and I often have to remind myself that OUaT is just a show but here’s how I look at it (and I’m Christian too by the way).
As moms and wives it’s healthy for us to do things for ourselves so we can be there for our husband and children. OUaT is my “fun” thing. I just have to remember to keep it in check – no way do I get involved in shipping wars, if I start to get overly upset about it I take a deep breath and do something else.
Your post actually got to the heart of what I really LIKE about Colin. I like that he doesn’t get caught up in the fandom – and the reason is that from what I can tell, he is a totally devoted family man. He mentions his wife in all of his interviews, wears his wedding ring proudly displayed in every photo shoot. I think he keeps his distance from his “fans” out of respect for his wife. It can’t be easy to be married to a guy who has women tweeting and flirting with you all the time – I think the way he has chosen to honor her is to try to ignore it all as much as possible. I think when he isn’t working he truly tries to spend as much focused time with his wife and son as possible. For that reason, I’m perfectly okay if he is silent. Just like you said you are blessed with your family – I think he feels the same and wants to protect himself from things that seem to happen to a lot to celebrities that destroy their marriages.
But I totally understand how you feel. Take a break and then come back!!
Since I am clueless about all of the tech stuff, can someone post a gif of the scene right after Hook makes his comment about Emma being “Captain Swan” to her yellow bug vessel?
What I love about this scene is that she tries to smile but it is this weak little attempt, then she slowly raises her eyes to meet his and as soon as she is looking him in his eyes she gets the most heart breaking, depressing expression to her face. It’s awful!!!! Her face just tells you that THIS is the one person she is dreading having to lose and it is more than she can take.
Compared to the goodbye she gives to Neal “Sorry that you end up having to go back to the EF anyway – bummer . . . alrighty then, see ya!”
And since Neal has been all about the regret he has about not telling Emma he loved her and how it is the biggest regret/mistake of his life and he HAD to get to NL to save Henry and tell Emma he loves her (which he never did). Perhaps THEN would have been a stellar opportunity to say a quick no pressure “Love ya. You take now.” I don’t know how much more clear they could have tried to make it – they didn’t even have him give her a “family”/friendly “love ya” which would have been perfectly appropriate considering she told him she would always love him (because they are “family).
She obviously purposely made the keychain into a necklace – so that was a very thought out move. I think with teenage Emma she still had very torn feelings for Neal at that point though. I think she still thought she loved him. She did go Tallahassee for awhile after getting out of jail. I don’t think she was mature enough yet (or had had enough love and nurturing in her own life up to that point) to completely understand all of her own emotions. Not to mention the poor girl had just made that heart breaking decision to give away Henry. I think a part of her loved Neal and a part of her hated him (which would be completely normal given that he was the only persom she felt she had “bonded” with). So I think the necklace could serve as, really, both a remembrance of what she loved and hated about Neal. I do wonder if a part of Emma wondered/hoped if he would come back for her – hence the reason the went to Tallahassee. I think that maybe somewhere inside she held out hope that there would be some kind of explanation but once she tracked him down as Rumple’s dad – it was all over for her. Her “image” of Neal was shattered when she realized she never knew who he was, and let’s face it – he acted like a young teenage punk with and to her when he was really hundreds of years old and should know better. She no longer needed the necklace at all – she now knew 100% for sure that he wasn’t what she wanted or needed. That scene in the bar – just yuck!! Poor Emma!!
Was also going to add, at 41 years old I have acquired some jewelry from ex’s through the years. I occassionally wear some of it if it suits an outfit I’m wearing – the jewelry no longer holds ANY sentimental meaning at ALL because I have no feelings about the person who gave it to me and have not spoken or seen then in years (decades in some cases). I happen to be an accessory freak though. But I know several women who own very little jewelry and wear the same things every day and feel “naked” if they forget to put a piece of it on. That’s kind of how I felt about Emma’s necklace. She wears the exact same jewelry in every single episode (except one I think), that’s why I think wearing the necklace was really just habit. When Neal asked why she still wore the keychain, she reached up like she didn’t even realize it was still there.
Personally I always thought she wore the necklace out of habit. I don’t think she had to wear something to remind her not to trust anyone again – the fact that she felt she had been abandoned by her parents and then was abandoned by Neal made her unable to trust whether or not she is wearing a necklace. I think she started wearing the necklace because she loved Neal and it just became a habit to wear the darn thing. I think it represented her belief of what she THOUGHT Neal meant to her. When she tracked Rumple’s son down and discovered that it was Neal and realized she never really knew anything about Neal coupled with the way he treated her when they discovered one another I think she was very hurt and wanted to find a way to hurt him back so ripping off the necklace was her way of trying to hurt him they way he hurt her but she also realized she had been wearing this necklace that symbolized a complete and total lie for eleven years and she was disgusted by that and wanting to get it OFF!!!
