Sooooo….you mean to tell me that ANYBODY can become a fairy?!!! Are fairies even born then?!!! Was Blue Fairy always the Blue Fairy?!!!!! And why hasn’t Sneaky Fairy come true yet?!!!
I am so so so so confused when it comes to fairies.
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"–Rumple was supposed to be a Savior? Why. Everyone say it with me: Emma is not the Savior just because she was born of true love! She’s the Savior because of Rumple. And we have no idea why Aladdin is a Savior! They were supposed to flesh out and make clear all the Savior mythology but they just tied themselves into knots and confused us.
I think a person becomes a hero due to the circumstances he is in … and more often then not because he decides to take action to something about the situation to help more than just himself but the persons he is around. You see that in everyday with fireman, soldiers and police. . .
In real life, yes. However, here in the Onceiverse, Emma was the Savior by Birth (True Love) and by machinations (Rumple and the TL potion on the Dark Curse). We do not know anything about Aladdin except some sort of vague “Diamond in the Rough.” Rumple seems to be born of True Love (including lights flickering) but nothing else including circumstance since he was a baby and apparently destined to be a Savior by virtue of prophecy.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"My TV lost the last couple of minutes of the show due to a storm so I didn’t get to see the very end so I don’t know exactly what happend. If someone could clue me in that would be great. The last thing I saw with Rumbelle was them as a family and Rumple telling Belle and Gideon that even when they don’t think so, everything he does is for them.
Basically:
–Rumple did not banish the Black Fairy nor did he really take her heart.
–The Black Fairy told Rumple that he enjoys (not quite the word, stronger than that but I can’t remember the exact wording) being the Dark One more than he would the Savior
–The talk about the final battle
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I am still holding out hope, because 1. his fate was severed so now that prophesy does not stand 2. I still think this would be too big for OUAT to leak out. 3. I can’t imagine that OUAT would crap again on Rumbelle fans because wow have we been put through the ringer. I actually think that this episode just emphasizes the importance of Rumple choosing family over power. He needs to stop the viscous dark circle that his family is in and he does that by making a sacrifice of power over love.
But I think this is going to be a moment of Rumple choosing his destiny (= choosing to die) for his family which will keep with his promise to protect Belle and Gideon and save Emma from having to do the Savior thing AND end the cycle of choosing power over family.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Hey guys I think this might be the musical episode?!
LOL at Regina’s dance moves!
So we do see Rumple but it’s as the Dark One in the cage. Okay.
Oh, is there a wedding too? Interesting. Did we know that?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"GENERAL: A mostly pretty good episode but not one without issues. So what’s the problem? everything feels cobbled together. It’s like the writers knew they needed to provide answers but because they had to slap-dash it together (after the ratings began to hint at cancellation) it feels rushed and not well thought out and like most episodes lately it confuse the mythology. The performances are really good, especially Jamie Murray and Bobby Carlyle and I like some of the neat circles of Rumple, his mother, Emma and Rumple’s children. But it’s all so haphazard. It’s still one of the better of the season when compared to some truly egregious ones.
RATING: 8.5/10
LIKED
–“That’s the problem with Saviors, isn’t it Ms Swan? Not quite as helpful as advertised.”
–Object continuity with the cuff of S3 and the sands and shears from earlier this year.
–Rumple and his sons will always be one of the more powerful stories on this show.
–Zelena hitting Black with her car was hilarious
–Emma talking to Rumple about the pain of abandonment was well done. It brought to mind some moments from Manhattan when Neal tried to say the same thing.
–The Black Fairy has a crescent moon that she wasn’t born with; it was made. That’s super well done and in line with one of the biggest themes and often quoted lines on the show.
–Fiona choosing to not give up her power for her child and instead severing Rumple’s Savior fate. There are so many Rumple/Bae parallels tonight.
–“It’s a vile, dangerous world son.” “Because of villains like you. And me.” I’ve had my issues with Rumple over the years but he’s self aware at least; he doesn’t deny his villainy.
MIXED
–How is Black the most evil creature in existence when she was born after Merlin/Nimue adventure with the Dark One’s Curse?
–Storybrooke has an Ikea?
–Funny Regina/Zelena learning to drive moments but seriously? Regina couldn’t just give Zelena an automatic instead of a stick shift?
–So what exactly was Fiona’s plan? To kill a baby born with a scar? And Tiger Lily just goes along with it? Like shouldn’t Tiger Lily be more powerful than a woman who became a fairy by waving a wand randomly? And where’s Blue during all this?
DISLIKED
–Every time they say “many years ago” it basically means “we don’t know nor do we care”
–Rumple was supposed to be a Savior? Why. Everyone say it with me: Emma is not the Savior just because she was born of true love! She’s the Savior because of Rumple. And we have no idea why Aladdin is a Savior! They were supposed to flesh out and make clear all the Savior mythology but they just tied themselves into knots and confused us.
–Blue isn’t Rumple’s fairy godmother which would have been a very neat circle given her history with his family.
–Tiger Lily’s fairy dress might be uglier than Blue’s jelly fish one?
–Apparently it’s so easy to become a fairy! Just wave a wand and utter some gibberish!
–Um, Belle? All this time you’ve known that thee was a good man behind the beast and YET you turned into a shrill shrew and said there was no hope for him? But now that a vision of the past says Rumple was supposed to be a Savior suddenly you’re all lovey-dovey again? Eek.
–How is “Rumplestiltskin” a perfect name for this situation? LOL that makes no sense.
–Come on, Rumple! COME ON.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Either memory potion or Hook’s in some sort of disguise that makes everyone around him see someone else but the audience sees Hook (a la S3B finale with Hook and Emma in the EF)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"From 6×19 (how did I not catch this earlier??)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"#BlessLooseLipsBobby
I know this won’t happen, but wouldn’t it be hilarious and simultaneously sad if the reason Emma ever fell for Hook was because of a spell being put on her when she was in her mother’s womb? What if the casting of that same spell on her wedding day is what actually snapped her out of it? Like I wrote, I know that won’t happen because the writers are hell-bent on making this ship happen at all costs, but just imagine if everything that happened could be explained in terms of a curse. *sigh*
13/10 would watch over and over.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"I still dont count this as meeting, even though im sure they are going to push it as that. As i said in the other thread, neither of them are actually aware of the other. A&E are really trying to hard to make CS feel right or romantic. It seems forced. Gosh, at this point i would not be surprised if once Hook comes on screen, Snow says she has a funny feeling in her stomach that is supposed to be fetus Emma reacting to her future “love”
Gag me now.
