    Oh please don’t get me going.  Appearantly I should be offended that my husband compliments me when I get dressed up, had to work to win me over because I had a terrible first marriage (my current hubby and I were in the friend zone for years) and didn’t give up when he first started flirting with me but I didn’t reciprocate, and makes decisions about my son’s well-being and safety when I am not around because he is not his biological father.

    I’m learning a lot while watching this show.  I thought I was a mature, responsible, almost 42 year old, happily married woman with a 12 year old son but, fortunately, I am learning that I have the brain of a teenager, am only interested in hot guys (my husband is almost 50, bald, overweight, and all of 5’7″), have no idea what is really important in a long term relationship (I will be married for 10 years this year and have known my hubby for 15), should be offended whenever my husband compliments me, have ruined any chance of ever REALLY being happy because I didn’t marry my first love – the guy I dated when I was 16 and haven’t spoken to in 26 years (but have a HISTORY with), and have destined my son to a life of misery and doom because the ONLY way he can be happy is for me to be married to his biological father – who chose to take off when my son was a baby.

    But, hey – it’s good to know all of this now, while I’m still young enough to correct the obvious mess I’ve made of my life.

    P.S.  Have I said I can’t FREAKIN’ wait until Sunday????  Woo Hoo!!!!

    So I just wanted to share that I have seen on some other sites that people are confused about why Killy commented on Emma’s “body” in her dress – that it seemed kind of odd.  I am assuming people know this but in case anyone doesn’t – the phrase that he used, “to cut a figure or to cut a fine figure” or any variation thereof is a phrase that is used to describe someone who is being admired by people because of they way she looks – typically because of the way she is dressed up for a special occasion.  So Killy was NOT commenting on what Emma’s body looked like in her dress (although I’m sure he was thinking about it!) – he was trying to give her a HUGE compliment.  She was feeling awkward and uncomfortable in the unfamiliar clothes and he basically told her that she might feel uncomfortable in the dress but everyone there was admiring how beautiful she looks in it.  Hence the reason he got a sweet, shy smile from her and not another knee to the nuts.  Clearly, WE all understood he was giving her a very sweet compliment but other people, as usual I’m sure, will find some way to say he was being a pig.

    Anyone else think that A and E saying that we are going to get “epic wish fulfillment” is referring to the third “As you wish”?????  They did say that they would be depressed if Emma and Killy didn’t have time for romance in the midst of their adventures in the finale.

    Sunday is Mother’s Day.  Please.  All I want for Mother’s Day is a Season 3 CS Happy Ending.

    That is just the cutest thing ever!!  Killy doesn’t have slightest idea who either of those people are – how funny that Emma saves the day coming up with names!  And she made herself a kick-butt Disney Princess.  I LOVE it!!!

    Someone listed in an article who the potential wedding couples could be, but as far as I know A and E never confirmed it was one of those couples.  So who knows?

    I can’t remember where a saw this (so apologies if it was here and I am repeating it) but someone noticed that everyone spin the “ball” pictures except CS is wearing white and there is a picture where CS are standing in front of King Midas as if they were being presented to him but they both have kind of stunned expressions on their faces.  That person said that it used to be common for people to have group weddings that were blessed or presided over by the King or something, and wouldn’t it be funny if CS got their info wrong and thought they were going to have to pose as a married couple at this ball but it was actually a group wedding.

    It’s kind of an interesting theory.  They are the only two people who aren’t wearing white which would be odd for a regular ball and if it is supposed to be Charming and Abiligail’s wedding, why would everyone else be dressed in white???  It would be interesting because if CS got married in the past – are they or are they NOT actually married??  That would be an interesting thing for the last 5 minute twist that Ginny talked about and the thing that JMo said she never saw coming.  What if CS decide that their “marriage” isn’t real since it is in the past and is necessary in order to do what they need to do so they just kind of joke around about it and gave fun with it, but the last minute episode twist is Emma deciding that SB and Killy are her home and she proposes to him or you see her with the ring on or she calls him or husband or something like that?

    This theory was nothing I would have thought of on my own but it does seem somewhat plausible.  Especially considering they blocked what seems to be the final scene with Emma and Killian outside of Granny’s – which appears to be after they get back from their little adventure.

    I’m not holding my breath or anything but I just wanted to mention this one because I thought it was interesting.

    So is anyone else going to venture into the chat on Sunday, then?  I am always there, but I am often silent because I feel like only CS fan there.  If more of us show up we can feel comfortable chatting together and saying positive things and/or venting frustrations about what is going with our own ship during the show.  I have noticed during the two or three times during this past season that the chat has had several CS folks on at once that SF seem to be overwhelmed and they aren’t quite sure what do since they aren’t used to it and they tend to either leave the chat or they are much less chatty.  Not that I want them to feel like they need to do either of those things but when the prior options have been Hook bashing and dominating the conversation with SF, they tend to become very quiet at least.

    I feel like since it appears that this Sunday seems to be Captain Swan: The Movie – we should be allowed to feel comfortable gathering in the chat together to have fun as a ship chatting about what is going on without having to worry about self-censoring ourselves for once.  As long as we are polite and respectful (and really I don’t see why there would be any reason for us not to be – there is no longer any other person vying for Emma’s affections, so if CS doesn’t end up together by the end of the episode it’s because they have decided to drag it out into Season 4 not because they want people to think she might end up with Neal) we should all plan on having fun together during this 2 hour “epic” movie.

    Please, please, please???  It would be so much fun.  Like going to the movie you have been dying to see on opening night at midnight with a dozen of your closest friends!!!

    I’m going to say something that is “out of character” for me.  I’m also really tired of not being able to gush over Hook and CS the way I want to, whenever I want to just like the SF fans have ALWAYS done EVERYWHERE on this site.  I’m not talking about bashing a character or a ship – I have no need to do that.  But if we want to squee about Hook and CS in ANY thread (accept the other shipping threads) OR the chat, we should be able to.

    The cold, hard reality is that Neal is DEAD.  A and E have confirmed that he is dead and he is NOT coming back unless we see him in flashback.  So, honestly we should no longer have to worry about not feeling free to talk about Hook or CS in the chat.  The SF fans are gonna HAVE to get used to that because their ship no longer exists – there isn’t going to be any new material for them to talk about.  So really what they are doing now is walking down memory lane, bemoaning what they believe “should have been”, or coming up with theories that will never happen because the character they are theorizing about is no longer on the show.

    I think the forums and chat should be focused on what is actually HAPPENING on the show in a positive way.  Guys, that means we should no longer be worried about speaking up and talking about Hook and CS or anything else we want to talk about.  We just need to continue to be polite and respectful, but that does NOT mean we have to continue to walk on eggshells – there is a big difference.

    I also think this hiatus will help us out.  Hopefully the SF folks will have time to get through their grief and the people who are really struggling can decide whether or not they want to continue to watch the show next season.  Personally, although I hate to have the show lose viewers, I do wish some people would stop watching.  I’m tired of having to listen to people constantly criticize A and E and/or complain about every little thing that happens on the show.  It seems like the trend of the moment is to jump on everything that happens and scream “inconsistent”, “out of character”, or “unbelievable.”  It’s a freakin’ fictional television show about fairy tale characters who actually exist in real life – I don’t watch it expecting a documentary.  I hope that the hiatus will help people remember that the show is really supposed to be entertaining, and if it is no longer entertaining them then they should stop watching.  I hope it will help the SF fans get the closure they need so they can come back next season ready to look forward instead of back.

    But most importantly I hope it allows us CS fans to regroup and get the confidence to post and chat whenever and wherever we want.

    I also wanted to point out that Emma and Killy’s on- going issue about him not telling her about his curse is supposed to parallel Snowing and David’s dreamshade secret in Neverland.

    Early in the episode they wanted us to remember that situation so they had Emma say that the reason David understood why Killy didn’t tell her about his curse is because “he has experience keeping secrets from loved ones.”

    If you remember, Snowing went through a period on the island where Snow wasn’t talking to Charming because she was so mad he didn’t tell her about the dreamshade.

    When they finally talk about it she demands to know why he didn’t her about his secret.  He says he was scared and Snow says “After everything we’ve been through did you really think I would not stay with you on this on this island?”  But Charming tells her, no – the problem is that he knew she WOULD stay with him and THAT was what scared him, the price of the cure was something he didn’t want to force on her (sound familiar?) because love means sacrifice and protecting the people you love (again, sound familiar?) so how could a part of him NOT want her to leave the island.  Then Snow tells Charming his problem was he didn’t believe in them, he should have believed in them and told her because they do everything together.  She says she would have happily stayed by his side dodging poisonous darts if it meant they could be together.

    The issue with CS is what happened in their end scene.  We have the parallel of Emma saying “Did you really think I would let you drown?”  But because of how things how been between them – Killy doesn’t yet have the confidence in Emma that Charming has in Snow of whether or not she truely cares for him and would do anything for him, although he suspects it.  And even though they have been through things together Emma is not yet at the stage where she is able to believe in them and where she can say she would be willing to put up with the craziness of fairy tale world to stay with him – because that thought scares her.  It’s why she keeps saying she’s going back to NYC.

    I think the whole point of Captain Swan: The Movie is to get Emma and Killian to the same point that Snowing is.  They need to go on Adventures ALONE so they only have each other to rely upon.  That way they can EACH build trust in each other and BELIEVE in their true love instead of being taken by surprise by it.
